BRISTOL, Conn, March 1.-The
greatest food In the history OF Bristol
swept down the Pequaback valley this
morning, spreading ruin and desolatlon
on every hand. The town OF Bristol
was heavy sufferer during the storm
OF few weeks ago. when six men lost
their lives, but the waste OF waters
before daylight this morning ecllpses

section of this town. until Il burst, tear

low, which itself was q roaring torrent
The break occurred at about O'Clock.
The great body OF water tore down
the valley with roar that was hearu
above she noise of the storm FOR miles
away. For the first two miles. there
were no buildings near the river. ana
the water poured out on the marshes
and plains. At Forestville. four miles
below, people living near the river were
obliged 20 abandon their residences as
tho water broke into the lower stories
In many cases, before the inmates were
out OF bed. The roar Of the Aood arous>
ed families for miles around and many
people, whose houses the flood had not
reached. packed up what effects they
could. in anticipation OF being sum-
marlly- evlcted. -
The high way bridges on nearly all
roads crossing the feuuabaek were
swept away. Ten in all have gone out
and Others are badly damaged. The
strce:s OF Bristol and the village OF
ForestvllIe. were badly washed In
many places.
The lower stories OF dozens OF houses
