The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-04-27

Next week is apt to be as important as
any in the career OF the present General As
sembly. The report on the revision of the
statistics will, in all probability, be made
by the judiciary committee, and the bill
for an act TO revise, as drawn by the COM
mission and changed blythe committees,
will be presented with recommendation OF
passage.
The other very important bill, involv-
ing the educational system of % towns in
the State, and asking the adjustment of
of the ~antiquated district school, is in the
hands Of the House judiciary committee,
and that is apt to see the light before
adjournment next Friday. And then the
bill appropriating 10000 for The Kingston
School, which was the result of some
thing almost unique in Rhode Island leg
islation, a majority aud minority report
TO the Senate, is expected to
catch the same dual treatment
at the hands of the House finance COM
mittee. Furthermore, the probability is
that during the week a commission will
be appointed to investigate the whole
Kingston matter, with special reference
as TO the desirability OF the location of
the institution.

Five Persons Went Over a
300-Foot High Ledge.
Four of Them Were Found Dead by
the Inhabitants.
One Rescued After Clinging to the
Edge Thirty Minutes.

NEW YORK, April PA special to The
World from Cochecton, n. Y, says:
John Rich, Sydney Brrns, Annie
Mitchell, Irene Tempest and Lora
Long were standing this afternoon
On a ledge of rock, 300 feet high, which
o%verhung the park, to the eastward OF the
town. Four feet from the outer edge of
the rock was q horizontal crack
which the Oldest inhabitants say had al
ways been there and which no one
thought rendered the ledge insecure. The
five young persons felt the ledge give away
under their feet and tried to get off, but
were too late.
Irene Tempest managed to grasp the
edge OF a solid remnant OF rock,
and hung there for 80 minutes,
until help could reach her. The
others were dead before the
inhabitants reached them. Rich was i'm
paled on the limb Of a tree as feet above
the ground. One huge fragment of the
rock rolled upon the tracks of the Erie
railway just after the Buffalo express
passed.

Havoc in the Path of an En-
Orm0us Reservoir.
The Water Inundated Several VILLAGES
and Drowned Many Persons.
Thirty-Eight Bodies Recovered-Dam-
age to Property is Tremendous.

EPINAL, France, April 27.-An enor-
nous reservoir near here burst today, in
undating many villages in the district,
and drowning numbers Of persons. So
far 30 corpses have been recovered. The
damage done TO property is tremendous.
The great Bouseey dyke Of the Epinal
district OF the Vosges, il now appears,
burst at 5 o'clock this morning. The
cubic area of the dyke is 100000 metres.
1t is impossible at this hour to get a
correct estimate of the damage
done or of the number of
lives lost; but, from the number
OF bodies found, the indications are that
the loss of life will be very heavy. BUSH
ness in all directions is interrupted and
a large number Of villages are
entirely flooded. In some places the force
of the torrent, let loose by the break in
the dyke, was so great hat entire houses
were swept away, and large trees were
torn up by the roots.
The reservoir was close to the village OF
Bouseey and was connected with the
Canal De lEst. The breach caused by
the rush OF water is over 100 metres broad.
The authorities are doing everything
possible to rescue imperiled persons.
Many families are still In danger. Thu
authorities are also taking steps to pro-
vide relief for the homeless. Assistance
and supplies will also be sent from the
nearest points.
