Twenty Persons Are Missing.

Melzingah reservoir, in the Eishkill
mountains, near Matteawan. N. Y, burst
at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, owing
to the heavy rains. The water ran into
the creek and two miles below, near
Duchess Junction, washed away brick
yard buildings, including a boarding
house occupied by laborers. 1t is reported
that nine of them were drowned and 9th
ers are missing. The flood at Duchess
Junction washed away 200 yards of the
Hudson River Railroad track. Trains
are stalled ON each side Of the breach.
There were two reservoirs in the noun
tain, the lower one half a mile distant
from the other. The upper dam gave
way, letting the volume of water into the
lower reservoir. This also burst and the
water rushed down through ravine.
Van Buren, & Timony's brickyard on the
Hudson, just below Duchess junction, Is
a mile distant from the site Of the lower
reservoir. Without warning the Hood
reached it through the ravine and made
terrible havoc Buildings were torn In
pieces and their occupants carried away
in the raging flood. The water works sys-
tenn was operated by a private company
and supplied the villages of Matteawan
and Fishkill the Hudson. At o'clock
seven bodies had been recovered. Two OF
them were those of Peter Mulligan and
his wife, who kept one of the two board
ing houses for brickyard laborers that
were swept away by the flood. The names
of the others are not known. 1t is re-
ported that twenty are missing. Tons of
