HOUsATONIC OvERFLOWS
Berkshire Tracks Under Water and
 Much Damage to Property.

Much DamaSe 10 Property.
 Derby, March 1.-The railroad off cials on the Berkshire division are in a dilemma today because of one of the most serious setbacks that has been given the road by reason of the break ing of ice gorges in the upper Housa- tonic river. It was feared yesterday that some accident would occur if the rain had continued and the river kept rising at the pace it started to do yes terday. Those fears were well found, ed for at midnight the ice gorges broke and 400 feet of trestle on the Berk- shire division were swept away. Three miles above Shelton the ice swept over the tracks and covered them in some places to the depth of thirty feet. Three hundred feet of track is covered at this point It will take at least two weeks to repair the damage and get the trestle in condition for tracks to be laid over it once more. All trains from Bridgeport this morning We're forced to return and come up by the way of New Haven.

 London, Mar 1.-Rupert Greville Williams, the inventor of q telo-pan- tograph, Cor system of sending copies of drawings by electrical wire), has been found fatally shot ill the green house of his residence at Haywood, near Manchester. There is no doubt that MT Williams committed suicide.
 London, Mar 1-To successfully diagnose the intentions and prospects of the new liberal movement, under the auspices of Lord Rosebery, would be to solve q puzzle which has every politician in Great Britain by the ears. The Associated Press, however is able to announce that for more pow erful influences than appear on the surface are at work in behalf of that curious, yet all important develop ment which has ensued upon Lord RoseberyS re-entrance into public life. The remarkable attitude of the London Times, already mentioned in these dispatches, continues to such an extent that this unionist organ delib- erately takes up the cudgels in be- half of Lord Rosebery as against the Duke of Devonshire, who. himself. is only half hearted in his opposition to his former, leader. Yet, so imbued are the British press and public with the tradition that the Times could never oppose, a conservative govern ment that these outspoken utterances pass almost without comment, and such comment as exists in confined to the man in the street, who, somewhat fearfully, whispers: Do you think it is possible that the Times is going back on the government?' An ex- planation of this was afforded to the Associated Press by one of Lord Rosebery's fellow peers, who is a per sonal friend of the former premier. though opposed to him in politics He said:
 T believe it is quie true that the Rothschilds now own a half interest III the Times. We, (the speaker is T member of the government) can no longer rely on the Times support and can only deduce that the Roths- chllds intend ito back up Lord Rose bery's movement with all their miI- lions and the other resources under their cOntrol''
 Lord Rosebery's family connections With the Rothschilds Hord Rosebery married Hannah de Rothschild. who dled i'll 1890, the eldest daughter and helfess Of Baron Meyer de Rothscbildl ana their frequent outspoken dissat- lsIactlon with the financial and ins ternal policy of the present cabina+ strengthens the supposition. and the statement of the peer above ouoted would stand against any number of formal denials
