scare between and o'clock this morn
ing, when the walls Of the basin broke
and let loose the volume OF water which
was stored there as q surplus to sup
ply the city. The break came without a
moments warning. and as the mad va
ters rushed down the incline and
through the streets it struck terror to
the people of the neighbOrhood.
It vas dark al the time and no one
knew what the extent Of the damage
would be Women tainted and men lost
their heads and the entire neighborhood
was thrown into the greatest excitement
The entire south wall Of the reservoir
broke, due probably to the heavy pres
sure Of the pumps on account of the re-
cent break at the DeIair plant. the res
ervoir being taxed pretty heavily TO
supply the city with water.
The water in its rush filed the cellars
OF all the property for squares about and
flooded the entire plant of the Pavonia
car shoos. Some of the departments
we're unable to work this n zrning on ac-
count Of the food. The shop whistle
vas blown and aroused the neighbor-
hood The properties TO suffer the most
we're those OF Dr. " H Kensinger,
which is almost beneath the walls OF the
reservoir, and the store and dwelling
Of Dr. Charles BeaIe. the druggist, just
opposite the banks Of the basin
Dr. Kensinger's barn was almost car
ried on its foundations, and damaged to
the extent OF several hundred dollars.
The doctors house was badly dam
aged, tie water flooding the first floor,
running furniture and carpets. The
store and dwelling Of Druggist Beale
was flooded and many valuable drugs
ruined.

in the presence of so great misery.
