Bursting Reservoirs Cause Great Loss
 at Shelton
 DERBY. Conn.,, Feb. 23.-The break ing of three reservoirs in the town of Shelton caused damages estimated at between $75,O00 and $10O,0OO, and there were several narrow escapes from death.
 There are three reservoirs situated on hill in the western part of the town. In some unknown manner hole was broken ill the largest reser- yoir, which is set back from the other two. The flow of water soon increased the hole to immense proportions, and the water flowed down to the regerS voirs below. These were unable to withstand the onslaught, and their walls gave way, giving the water free path to the town with the excep- ton of huge stone arch. This was carried away like paper, and the wa ter swept down through Brooks street and Howe avenue, tearing gully ill the latter street no feet long and 30 feet wide. Logs, trees and huge cakes u 1CC WCIC CdlAiIu dlOl1S uA0 ClcShSA into several nearby buildings. A large amount of gravel was swept into the canal which furnishes water power for several mills and completely stopped it up.
 Near the archway which was swept away is situated the house of Walter Nichols. Nichols was away, and his wife was awakened by the ice crashing against the door. A few moments later the water began to flow into the bedrooms, where six children were sleeping. Mrs. Nichols hurried to the door and held 1t while her children es- capped to an upper floor. A few mo- l ments later, after she herself had es- caped above, the water and ice forced in the door and flooded the rooms. The family remained prisoners in the upper part of the house until the water re- ceded

He ran 1 into the street, where the water was waist high, and hurried to the nearest point of safety. Several times he was 1 hit by ice and fallen trees and pain ] fully injured. Ten minutes later the side of the building was swept away, and the bed in which he had been sleeping was carried along in the flood. Street railroad tracks and telephone and telegraph poles were torn up and strewn about in confusion.
