MANY BUILDINGS RUINED

East Liverpool, Ohio, Oct. IA
city reservoir, containing 10, 900, 900
gallons of water burst yesterday and
caused $150,000 damages. No lives
were lost, but two score of people had
narrow escapes.
The reservoir was located 500 feet
above the pumping station on the
highest hill in the city. 1t was only
completed a few days, ago and water
was tunred into it for the first time
yesterday morning. The basin was
filled to it's utmost capacity and re-
suited in the walls giving suddenly.
A number of houses are located on
the hillside between the reservoir and
the city proper. When the walls col.
lapsed the water shot down the in
cline with a mighty 0 "a The noise
warned the occupants of the endan-
gered houses, who rushed to places
Of safety in time to save themselves.
A number of children were playing
in a road directly in the path of the
torrent and, though caught by a por.
ton of the rushing water, were res
cued before drowned.
A gang of laborers laying pipes in
a ditch near the wall which gave way
m~iraculously escaped death.
Dozens of large trees were torn
from their roots and carried down
the hillside with lightning rapidity,
being jammed with a terrific force
against the wall Of the Harker Pottery
company's plant. The main building
of this plant, with several smaller
structures, was badly wrecked. Two
large kilns and sheds were dashed
to pieces and $4,000 worth Of ware
was ruined.

Vancouver. B. c., Oct. 14-Most of
the It's passengers rescued from the
wrecked steamer Hating were bound
for the sound. They were to be trans
ferred to the steamer Willapa, which
sailed for the scene of the wreck from
Victoria at Z o'clock last night. The
passengers may not arrive until this
evening.
The first official announcement of
the wreck was given out this morn
ing, and is somewhat different from
reports given out last night. The
Hating cleared from Skagway Thurs
day night. She had good weather I'M
til Saturday morning when a bank of
fog settled down on the ship. Upon
reaching Sabine channel at 2 o'clock,
Captain Gosse reached his course
from Cape Nudge to Vancouver di-
rect. This would take him through
Sabine channel, passing Latsqui is
land on the east side. On entering
Sabine channel from the north the
first promontory on the Latsqui is.
land side is West Point, the north
horn of Tucker bay.
It is on the south horn of Tucker
that the islets are situated and to
strike them the vessel would have to
be very little out of her course. The
steamer, enveloped in dense fog,
caught one of the treacherous cur
rents Astounding in the vicinity, and
was carried into Thompson islet, off
the south horn of Tucker bay.
Her bow is badly damaged, and
sharp rocks are wedged in her hull.
The greatest danger is that the Hat
ing will slide back into deep water.
Soundings show 100 fathoms close to
the islet. She has been braced with
hawsers to prevent sliding. The yes
sci showed Is feet of hull above water
line. Immediately under the line was
30 feet of water, and as the steamer
draws 20 feet she was resting bow on
only at flood tide.

on the shore as we'll as the guns Of
Fort Morgan added to the fire. The
guns of Uatteras started in bravCly TO
respond, but soon found that it was
useless. Their shots could not reach
the ships.
The COufCderates on the warshirS
were amazed at seeing the shots from
Hattcras fall short of the Yankee
ships Sometimes the fort would cease
firing and then open with a round or
two simply to show fight. The guns Of
the feet sometimes dropped a shot
among the Confederate ships, but none
OF them was struck. Finally the Con-
federate gunncrs abandoned their sta
tions and took refuge in the bOmbproOf.
When this was packed with about 800
men, Yankee shell went in through
the yentilator and landed in the crowd.
Fortunately the shell didn't explode,
but it resulted in terrible panic which
hastened the fall of the fort The men
rushed from the place and found cover
elsewhere. The magazine lay next to
the bombproof, and the thought of
what might have happened had the
shell Travelled through the thin parti-
ton separating the compartments or
even exploded in the bombproof was
too much for green Gghting men to en-
durc. The fuse of this shell went out
but soon another exploded directly over
the magazine. Fortunately this shcn
did not set fire TO the roof, but it was
clear that the enemy had the range of
the vitaIs Of the work, and there
wasn't a gun on hand strong enough TO
land a single shot in the fleet Captain
Barron called a council of war, and at
1915 a. m, less than two hours after
the firing of the first shot UattCras
was flying the white flag, and the first
naval battle Of the war was ended.
This was not alone the first naval
battle and naval victory of the war
but the first uneqUivocal victory on
land or sea. The surrender was uncon-
ditional, and over 600 soldiers, with
their officers. and the armament of two
forts fell into Stringham's hands. The
Confederate warships sailed away into
The sound for a brief respite of liberty.
The IIattcras victory was the begin

The Confcderatcs fought tenaciously

thoroughly done.

ed that both forts had given up the
fight Fort IIattcras ceased firing The
former commander Of Fort Clark, Colo
mel W. +. Martin Of the Seventh North
Carolina, went into Fort Hattcras, re-
porting his little garrison Of 100 men
worn out by fighting. About that time
Flag Officer Barron Of the Confederate
navy entered the fort and at the re
quest of the commandant took charge
of the defense. All the guns in the fort
were of naval pattern, and it was
thought that naval officer could han
die the force with the best execution.
There were three guns in Fort Halter
as bearing upon Fort Clark, and an
other was put in position to keep the
enemy out Of the abandoned work.
Meanwhile the steamer Monticello
had an exciting time trying to run
through the inlet. When ii seemed eyi-
dent that the Confcderates had aban-
dOncd both forts, the Monticello made
her way with difficulty in the shallow
water TO the mouth of the inlet. She
often grounded. and Hatteras guns
paid no attention, but finally when she
was caught In shallow water the guns
opened, landing five shells in her with
in a few minutes. One shot went com
plctely through the ship from starboard
to port and landed in a coal bunker
Under cover of the fleet the steamer
got out from under the Confederate
guns, and the ships soon anchored for
the night. During this days fight the
Confederate war steamers lay idle in
the sound. After the abandonment Of
Fort Clark the Ellis carried troops and
ammunition to Fort HattCr2S, passing
and repassng under fire. She took
Flag officer Barron and others into
