BURSTING OF A DAM.

Much Damage Done at Middletown,
 Conn.-Narrow Escapes of Work
 men.
 Middletown, Conn.,, July 30.-The large dam confining the water of Will coX's reservoir, located on the Durham road, about two miles from the middle of this city, burst without warning at eight o'clock this morning and let down tremendous volumes of water, doing damage an estimate of which at this time Is impossible. The dam known as "Wilcox's Dam," was. located almost adjacent to the lock shops of William Wilcox.
 The reservoir is brook-fed body of water, about 400 feet long and fifty feet wide. From this reservoir the lock shop, the fertilizer manufacturing con cern of Rogers & Hubbard, and Wilcox. Crittenden & Co.,, ship chandlers. ob- tained their power. The confining dam was nearly feet wide and was built only few years ago at cost of about $20,000 Suddenly this morning there was dull boom, and In another instant one after another of the huge stones of which the dam was built gave way be- fore the water, and were carried down with the flood. These boulders crash ed against the side of the lock shop and the accompanying water rushed into the factory with great speed. Forty Worl1men, employed on the lower floor, had heard the rushing of the waters and fled for their lives. They escaped safely, and within five minutes there was water on the floors thirty inches in depth, and 1t was rushing through the shops and out into the swollen Penn eacha Brook Within fifteen minutes the entire dam had disappeared and the water continued to rush down. A bridge on the Durham road a short distance below the shops was lifted up bodily and carried off. The flood then followed the course of the brook, and went on It's way to the Connecticut | river. The wheels of the lock shops were crippled and slowly stopped A greater portion of the machinery is un- der water, and probably ruined On | the lower floor there. was some stock. which will be damaged, if not rendered worthless. Three small separate build | ings, used as storerooms, were lifted
 from their foundations and carried away, with whatever happened to be In them.
 | The two other concerns which depend
 partly upon this reservoir for their
 supply have not been compelled to sus- pend, but two hours after the break
 the water was still rushing away, and
 it Is probable that these plants will be
 crippled.
 Without taking into account the in-
 jury to machinery and possibly ruin
 of stock, the damage is placed at $25,-
 900.

A SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.
A Proposed Amendment to the State
 Constitution

A Proposed Amendment to the State
 Constitution
 A special town meeting will have to be held in New Haven as well as in all other towns in the state on Monday, October 4, to act upon the proposed amendment to the constitution of the state.
 Chapter 233 of the acts of 1897, which have just been published, contains the provisions of the bill
 In this chapter 1t Is stated that where as the general assembly of 1895 and of 1897 have voted to amend the state con- stitution by inserting the following: Every person shall be able to read in the English language any article of the constitution or any section of the stat utes of this state before being admitted an elector."
 The change Is that an elector shall be required to read in English. Hereto fore 1t has been sufficient if an appli- cant for electors rights should be able to read In his own language.
 In order to adopt this amendment to the constitution it is necessary to sub- init 1t to the people.

KILLED BY 4 MORNING TRAIN.

Body of Fred Woehe, & German, Found
 Along Railroad Tracks in West Haven
 Yesterday Morning.
 The body of Fred Woeke, a German, who formerly lived In Brooklyn, N. Y., was found along the railroad track in the West Haven marshes yesterday morning. The body was identified by a letter found in a pocket The letter was written by Gustave Woebe, a brother of the deceased, who lives in Terryville A telegram was sent to him notifying him of his brothers death and he ar rived in the city at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He went to police head quarters and told the officer there about having received the telegram. He was directed to Lewis & Maycocks under- taking rooms, where he identified the body as that of his brother. Gustave said yesterday afternoon that he lived in Terryvlle and worked in that place His brother had been out of work for some time and had endeavored to get work in Brooklyn and other places. Finally Gustave wrote to his brother telling him to come to Terryville and LHdI FIG lllBHl SeL SoIlelHlHS to uO there Fred is supposed to have been on his way walking to Terryville when he was struck by night train.
 The body was found about o'clock yesterday morning by Conductor Mason who has charge of a freight train which arrives In this city from the west about that time The condition of the body when found indicated that the man had been dead about two hours. Several scalp wounds were found and death was undoubtedly caused by a fracture extending from the left ear to the rear of the head, which pro- duced hemorrhage of the brain.

Reports From the Fishermen From
 Maine to Delaware are Encoura-
 ging.
 New London, July 30.-The weather has been anything but pleasant along the coast in the vicinity of Lewes, Del aware, recently, and yet the report of last weeks catches by the steamers from this port are most encouraging. Last weeks catch was: Arizona, 1,O0o,- O00 Quickstep, 1,200,0O0; s. s. Brown, 1,150,000; G. s. Allyn, 1000, 1000; Leonard Brightman, 900,000. The men from the steamer Arizona were unfortunate In losing great catch of fish by the part ing of the seine, the largest catch, so an old fisherman states, that was ever seen by him. The New London fleet have recently been equipped with machines for the pursing of the seines and With the device six men can purse seine faster than eighteen men can without.
 A report from the vessels in the vicin- ity of Booth Bay, Maine, states that the steamer Walter Adams. since opening the season June 18th. has secured about nine thousand barrels of menhaden The steamers Mabel Bird, Beatrice, Serrel and Seaconnett are employed in the fisheries for Messrs. Church & Co.,, and the steamer George Morse for Messrs Hawkins & Go. The Fanny Sprague, Wells, Curtis and Joseph Church are fishing at Round Pond.
 On Friday last the steamer Seacon- nett was seized in Blue Hill Bay by the Maine authorities for fishing within the three mile limit. She had a catch of about five hundred barrels when taken. The steamer Curtis escaped the author tiles and brought full load to the fac tories at Booth Bay. The fish are good and produce ten gallons of oil per thou sand The weather has interfered with the work and the fishermen believe that in fine weather they will be enabled to keep the factories running night and day
