gagged In the construction OF the immense

the Warren county side Of the river on a
scow ferryboat, propelled by the action of
the current against its upstream side. and
which Is fastened by two sets of tackle
10 trolleys which ride on overhead cables.
When In about mids,ream. the boat
was struck by a mass Of logs and ice,
nut according 70 some OF the passen-
xers there was no danger until an Italian
10Y screamed and jumped for one of the
overhanging tackles. This caused the boat
10 swerve slightly, and instantly. like a herd
OF sheep. many OF the workmen rushed to
one end Of the boat. One side tipped and the
boat WIS partly Allied.
No one remembers what happened,
except that some jumped into the river
and others were swept out by the raging
current. swollen by the foods from the
north. Some succeeded In reaching the
shore but little below whore the accident
occurred and others we're swept down
for o mile or more before reaching land.
Those who stuck by the boat were safe,
as II quickly reached shore.
The accident was seen by hundreds OF
fellow workmen on the shore, but there
was nothing they could do to assist the
unfortunat.s Immediate attempts. which
have been partially successful, TO check
on the workmen were made and have been
continued through the day. But in the ex-
element the men scattered widely. many

 Superintendent O'Brien was asked to- day regarding the water pressure in the south end of the city, and stated that while it was not as good as he wished he was powerless to improve it until after MT Chatfeld gets through with the job at Scovill's bridge. He said he called at the highest house in the dis trict this morning and found lots of water in the faucets on the first and second hoor but there was none on the top floor. MT Chatfield is working at the main which is to go over the Mad river and expects to be through in a few days. After that an additional feeder, consisting of an eight-inch main will be turned on and will furnish water in abundance for eyerybo ody south of the bridge. This, he said, is the very best he can do, and he hopes people will realize the situation and not think that he is withholding any thing they need in the way Of water fEIich he is in a position to supply

OVERCOME BY HEAT
Naugatuck Man. Prostrated in Ex-
 change Place.


 Tie first case of heat prostration known to have occurred in this city this summer took place to-day. Ed ward Hanley of Naugatuck, rather an old man, was passing through Elk chang place when he was overcome by the heat. His daughter and sOn-in-law were with him at the time and they placed him sitting on box outside of Cones drug store. Ice and cold water were placed on his head. It was about fifteen minutes before MT Hanley re- gained consciousness. Instead of con- tinuing his visit to the hospital to see one of his daughters, who lies seriously i'll and is not expected to recover though an. operation was performed upon her yesterday, he said he would probably return home. He did not feel as if he were able to walk to the hos pital. He had come to Waterbury from Naugatuck on the train.
 This is the second time within a week that MT Hanley has been pros trated by the heat. About a. week ago he was working in a shop in Nauga- tuck when he was overcome by the heat and had to give up work. To-day was the first time that he was out since he was first overloaded.
 The weather to-day was a scorcher. The humidity was terrible. Though the suns rays threw forth less heat than yesterday, yet there seemed to be less of a breeze The thermometer scared to about 94 in the shade.

INTO ARKANSAS RIVER.
Three Engines and Twenty Cars of Freight Train.

Canon City, Col, July 1O-Three en- zines and twenty cars of freight train have jumped the Denver and Rio Grande track in the Royal gorge and plunged into the Arkansas river, sheer fall of 2,O0O feet. <
 The engines have not yet been found. Ten freight cars are also missing. The river is very deep and high and the cur rent runs at a terrific speed.
 The three engineers, a fireman and a brakeman, have disappeared in the wreck.
 The, accident took place near the Hanging bridge in the Royal gorge, about six miles east of Canon City. It is the most picturesque railroad spot in the west. The gorge is only fifty feet wide, but the rocks rise perpen- 'dicularfy from the Arkansas river to a height of morethan third of mile.
 The freight train was bound east. Two of the engines were "dead,' being drawn along with the cars. Without warning the locomotive that was fur nishing the power jumped the track, bumped along on the ties for few feet, and then plunged into the abyss, dragging the other engines and the cars after it. Two of the firemen jumped. The engineers refused to leave their posts and fell to certain death in the torrent 2,OO0 feet below.
 A brakeman was thrown into the gorge when the cars ran off the track. The breaking of the coupling saved the ten rear cars from falling into the river. <. ..E
