SLUICE GATES BREAK,
Works Were Only Completed Tester
 day-Loss May Reach S30. 900.

"
 day-Loss May Reach 0,0OO.
 Danielson March 19.-By the break nig of the sluice gates and their SUD- porting posts at the dam of the new giant plant of the Peoples TraInvay company, two miles south of this town, late yesterday afternoon, body of water that filled reservoir two and one-half miles long was turned loose. and the works of the company, which operates street railroads running from Danielson to Worcester. only yester- day placed i'll full operation. have been rendered useles for an indefinite period.
 The posts of the water gate have been carried away and a gap. ever widening, is being opened in the em bankment which retained the mass of water.
 The damage at the present time can not be estimated, but it is figured that the loss of the machinery, which was within reach of the water, together with the destruction of the water gate and sluiceway will approximate be- tween $25.OOU and $30.00O. It is thought that a quicksand in the ground was the cause of the accident.
 The plant was one of the largest of it's kind in the country, and SUD- piled. besides factory power, the cur rent for lines of street railways run ming from this place to Worcester, Mass. It had been in process of con struction for q number of months, and yesterday the works were to be put into full operation.
 The water was turned on at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the gate burst and q volume of water, the pressure of which had been great enough to drive the 5000 horse power turbines. leaped through the opening into the sluiceway below.
 Below the dam, the water, sweep ing away whatever opposed it in the narrow sluiceway, rushed into the open below, where it spread out over a wide range of country but caused no loss of life and no great destruction to property.
 The three water wheels were put In motion last week and the power de- rived was tremendous. Each of these wheels was of double-turbine make, 300 horse power each.
 This plant, with site costing SGO, 1000 and with the buildings, ma chinery, etc. costing nearly $500, GOO. was one of the finest in the state. It was so arranged that in case of low water steam might be substituted. This plant would have furnished power for the entire system of the Peoples Tramway company. half of which remains yet to be built. also a system of lighting and power shops, factories etc.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Failed to Elect Member for Bronson
 Library Fund.


 The board of aldermen held spe- cial meeting last night for the purpose Of filling the vacancy on the board of agents on the Bronson library fund and to fix date for receiving bids for the bonding of the city for S1OO, ,OOO for water purposes, $125, GOO for storm wa ter drainage. and $31O,OOO for school Improvements. Chairman Hall pre- sided, and all the members were pres ent except MT Chesson. It was voted to issue the school and water bonds, but the storm water drainage matter, although mentioned in the call, was not taken up. It was also voted to in- struct the clerk to advertise for pro- posals for the sale of the bonds.
 There was some surprise over the appointment of successor to fill the vacancy caused by the death or the late Dr Werner as agents of the Bronson library fund Prior to going into the meeting the democrats held caucus and nominat- ed Martin Scully for the position. and 1nasmuch as the appointment belongs on that side of the house, 1t was thought that that would settle it. but In this they were very much disap- pointed, Mir Scully proving non persona grata to the republicans, and in conse- quence the matter went over for an- other week. On motion of Alderman Morris. the board was about to pro- ceed to an informal ballot to fill the vacancy when Alderman Cross said that he thought the members should come together and elect German to the office, seeing that the late Dr Wer. npr. whose Gaath had there. was a German He said he knew of no one of that nationality who was looking for 1t. however. Alder men Phelan and White were appoint ed tellers and the ballot was taken. With the following result: Martin Scully :, Timothy r. Conway ,, J. Ho- bart Bronson 1. blank I.
 The next was a formal ballot and resulted in vote of { for Martin Scul- ly and : for Timothy r. Conway.
 This stunned the democrats and after looking at each other, Alderman Mahaney remarked to Alderman White. who was passing around the hat for another ballot: What's the matter with you people? We voted to man for your candidate for the bureau of assessment the other even ing?"
 No one said anything, so the ballot ing went merrily on. and when the result was announced it showed ap- other tie: Scully :, Conway :.
 At this juncture it began to look as 1T both sides were determined to hold out, and on motion of MT Cross it was decided to let the matter stand until next Monday night. All the republi- cans and Mr Tyrrell favoring such a course. and Messrs Morris, Mahaney, kane, Foley and Phelan opposing it.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Will Hold An Adjourned Meeting To-
 morrow Evening.

AAOA1oW 1ANCulIs
 The board of education will hold an adjourned meeting tomorrow evening, and there promises to be resumption of the conditions that prevailed at the meeting held last Friday evening. Those members who claim there will be music regarding the alleged insuf- ficiency of the heating systems in the Driggs and the High schools will not have all the fun. They will meet with some opposition of a nature that they can hardly overcome. It will be denied, that is providing the program arranged is carried out, that NJ. J. Daily built the heating system in Washington school. and also that the system in Driggs school is inadequate. No reflection whatsoever will be cast upon the ability of MT Daly as first class workman having all the means and appliances to boot to carry into effect whatever contract he may un- dertake, but the statement that it was he that put in the heating and ventil- ating apparatus in Washington school will not go by the board as it did at the meeting held Friday night.
 The statement made by certain members of the board and upheld by others that 1t is impossible to heat Drlggs school can be denied in blacs auu Wnlte Dy an authority most con- petent to judge. The statement would have been true had the apparatus not been completed, or had a certain very valuable and vital part of the system been overlooked, as it had been for a short time, but was discovered before even normal test of the system was made.
 It Is truly a most perpleXing situa- ton when men prominent in the com munity, elected to one of the most inn portant boards in the city. will stand boldly up in meeting and declare that such and such Q state of affairs exist in certain school houses when they know. or at least ought to know, thas authorities more competent than they to judge are perfectly aware that such conditions do not exist, except in the mind of the speaker

 No Property Damage.

Union. March 19.-Five million gal Ions of water were released by the breaking of the dam at reservoir No 2 of the Stafford Springs Water con- pany this afternoon. and hundreds of acres of meadow land were flooded to a depth of several feet. On account of the isolation of the plant, practically no property damage was done aside from that to the dam and the inn medately adjoining machinery. The main works of the water company are some hundred feet from the reservoir that gave way, and so escaped.

Above, who had directed that there
should be no intermarriage. The re-
suit was words; these grew to blows,
and blows to open warfare. and. at
length, the Hayasupais drove the
Apaches out from their canyon home,
AID ever since there has been the most
mortal hatred and enmity existent be-
tween them.
But the bereaved bridegroom cared
little for anything that TRANSFERRED.
He wanted the woman he had lost, and
even more than for his bride he longed
for revenge. This was what he longed
for and dreamed of. ana finally reso-
lutely set about TO gain. He era ftily
laid his plans, changed his appearance
as far as possible, taught his face new
tricks Of expression and compelled his
voice to use new tones, and then, going
off to the desert, began his hunt for
his lost bride. He wandered in the
forests and over the high mountains.
He camped in the deep canyons and
ravipes, and got lost in the fearful
maZes of the gOrges of the Tonic
Basin. Several times he was nearly
captured by hostile Indian foes, and
it required all his skill and craft to
protect himself. Finally his search
was rewarded. He found his foe.
Putting on Il friendly guise he wormed
lSmself into his confidence and be-
came his companion. After weeks of
planning he got his enemy to 90 away
into the northern desert with him.
There, while the Apache was asleep. he
fell upon him and bound him hand and
foot. Then as his prisoner he marched
him back to the canyon of the Hayasu.
There all the people came to gloat
over his capture and the wise men
were asked to devise a horrible and
fearful death. They decided to take
him to the steepest wall of the Grand
canyon, where there is a precipice
1000 feet high. Here, one man TAX
ing the wretched prisoner by the hair
and another by the feet, he was swung
to and fro over the abyss until he gave
visible signs of the dread and fear he
felt within, and then, with a veil, he
was allowed to drop and fall. crushed
out of all human semblance, upon the
cruel rocks beneath.
And, said my informant, ''tO warn
my people forever against having any,
thing to do with the Apachcs, Those
Above placed upon the wall where the
trail was up which the Apache went
with the HaYasupai mans bride, two
great figures, here shown. One is of
the stolen woman and the other is of
the thief" These are objects o. great
reverence to the Havasupais, who
name them the "Wig-li-i-wa," and in
them they read the danger of mans
yielding to the desires and lusts of the
flesh and intermarrying with those
forbidden.

ties and vengeance.
According 10 the traditions of the
Havasupai Indians, of Havasu canyon
in northern Arizona, they have long
been at enmity with the fierce and
warlikc Aparhes, who now live in
southern Arizona. In the early DAYS
OF their history the Apaches and
Havasupais ire all said to have lived
III peace in the quiet seclusion of this
wonderful canyon home. The Havasu
(Blue WaterJ flows meandering along
between the willows in the tiny
patches of a'able land formed in the
canyon, and on one side of this
stream lived the Apaches and on the
other the Havasupais.
One of the Havasupai young wom-
en- was gifted by Those Above with
great beauty, and many were the
lovers she had of her own people.
Though the Apache youths looked
upon the beautiful maiden with ewes
of delight and favor, they knew the

must have whispered TO che Apache
| lover, for he, and not the bridegroom,
found the maiden's trail and with the
speed of the wind itself followed her.
She had crossed the Havasu and was
hidden in the willows on the Apache
side of the stream, and when her
Apache adOrer came up with her, she
doubtless began to think, as even In
dian maidens will, that she must pro-
fess an unwillingness to be taken to
the arms of her lover.
Anyhow, il was easy for the Apache
to persuade her to 90 stealthily with
him around great arm of rocky wall
thrust out into the canyon, and there
steal up precarious trail, which, like
cObweb, seemed to cross the face Of
the cliff. When they had reached
good height he babe the maiden pause
and rest, and then. darting back few
steps to a place where the trail made
dangerous zigzag, he loosened two
heavy rocks which had long ago been
prepared for an emergency that might
arise. These rocks fell with a crash,
'''Ni - cutting vi every nope anu ppS-
sibility of pursuit, and then, with
Shrill yell Of triumph, the daring
Apache returned to the now fright
ened maiden and informed her that it
was in his arms, and not in those of
he Havasupai lover she was to rest
that night. His yell and her echoing
shrek Of despair attracted the atten-
ton of the youths below. and to their
surprise and anger, as they looked up,
they beheld the Apache carrying away
the bride of their friend. and they
stood helpless to prevent it.
"To the trail" one shouted. "Bring
bows and arrows," cried another.
But they soon saw that neither was of
use. The trail was blocked. ard who
could send an arrow into the heart
of man who held a maiden in his
arms.
Suffice it to say the young Apache,
with many a haunting word and Shrek
of defiance. slowly climbed out of the
canyon, and he and the maiden disap-
peared, never to be seen or heard Of
for many day.
Then the Apaches and the Havasu-
pals began to argue about the matter,
the former declaring that "AH was
fair in love and war" and the other
condemning the sacrilege and disobe-
dience to the commands of Those
