Hartford, Conn.,, March 2.-The great
rainstorm which has prevailed since
Saturday morning caused great damage
throughout the state. Many serious ac-
cidents, washOuts and wrecks are re-
ported. The Connecticut river is swol--
len to three times its normal propor-
lions. Aportion of the false work of the
big iron bridge at Middletown was
swept away. but the main. structure re-
mains intact.
The bursting of the old copper mine
dam at Bristol Sunday morning caused
the greatest flood ever known there and
the estimated damage is over s100. 000s
from this alone. People living along the
Pequaback river had to leave their
houses in the dark and many lost all
their possessions. Ten highway bridges
were swept away n the New England
tracks were washed out In many places.
A freight train ran into q washout near
Forestyille Sunday and the engine was
capsfzea. Seven cars were wrecked and
one of the train1nen badly injured. Tho
storm in Winsted and other sections was
very severe. The New England tracks
are under water in many places. The
loss Is estimated at nearly 800, 900.
At Brooklyn a well known mill owner
lost his life n several accidents are re-
ported from many sections.

How to Pronounce Iowa.

"Wellman also makes Senators Alli-

BY the way, some uniformity should be
introduced in the pronunciation of Iowa.
1t is v%ariously spoken In congress:

accent on the first syllable; I-o-wy,' and
.I-o-way,' with the accent on the second

OF the third syllable. None OF these Is
correct. Senators Allison and Gear and
members of the Iowa delegation agree
that 'I-o-wah,' with a little accent on the
first and emphasis or the final syllable.
Is the only right thing"
But others may differ q little. We re-

Fire at s%,nith,and.

smithland, Ia, March about 11:3o
Saturday night Drake 4 Co.'S large
store building was discovered to be on
fire on the second floor, which is used
for a hall and theater. There is no fire
department but the bucket brigade did
good work and succeeded in putting the
fire out. The lower floor ls occupied by
Drake & Co.. as a jewelry store. A
greater part of the stock was carried
into the street. The damage to build
ing and to stock by water is probably
5000 or $500. The Odd Fellows lodge
also los a small part of the new para
phernalia. There had been a home tai
ent play in the hall in the evening and
1t is supposed hat the fire originated
from a cigarette OF cigar stub which
had been carelessly thrown aside.

Condholders, Opposes Fitzgerald
Plan.
Washington, March 2.-The house
committee on Pacific railroads today
continued It's inquiry into matters per-
'taining to the Pacific railroads. l.. J..
Morrison. representing q portion of the
first mortgage bond holders of the
Union Pacific, said that those he rep
resented could not accept the Fitzgerald
plan. It was not practicable, being
simply a scheme to promote junior hold
iTgs. The government, he said, was in
the same position as his clients, and
what would benefit one would benefit
the other. His proposition was to have
congress authorize the appointment Of
a commission whose duty 1t should be to
enforce the lien Of the government by
foreclosure. When the lien was fore
closed. a new company was to be Gre
ated, to W property of the old corpo-
ratlons. He understood that the Fitz-
gerald people had abandoned their plan.
