AN ANGRY FLOOD
From Three Collapsed Reser-
yoirs Sweeps Derby, Ct.
Houses Damaged and Several Narrow
Escapes from Drowning.
Damage Will Be at Least $4,000 and
Perhaps 100000.

Derby, Conn.,, Feb. 22.-The breaking
of three reservoirs in the town of Shell
ton. this morning, caused damage esti-
mated at between $4,000 and 500, DOC
and there were several narrow escapes
from death.
There are three reservoirs in the town
situated on hill in the western part
of the town. In some unknown manner
hole was broken in the largest .reser-
voir, 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 reservoir
below. These were unable to withstand
the onslaught and their walls gave
way, giving the water a free path to
the town, with the exception of a huge
stone arch.
This was carried away like paper and
the water swept down through Brooks
street and Howe avenue, tearing a gull
~ in the latter street ITO feet long and
30 feet wide. Logs, trees and huge
cakes of ice were carried along and
crashed into several nearby buildings.
A large amount of gravel was swept
into the canal which furnishes water
power for several mills and completely
blocked it up. A number Of men were
Immediately set to work and it is be-
lieved that the mills will be able to re-
sumo operations, Tuesday morning.
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 commenced to flow into the
bedrooms where six children were
sleeping. Mrs. Nichols hurried to the
door and held it while her children es-
capped to an upper foc:. A few mo-
ments later, after she herself had es-
capped, the water and ice forced in the
door and flooded the rooms. The fami-
ly remained prisoners in the upper part
of the house until the water receded
In building on Brooks street War
rem WILDER was awakened oy a cake of
ice crashing through his door. He ran
into the street where the water was
waist high and hurried to the nearest
point of safety. Several times he was
hit by ice and falling 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. The reser-
voirs will have to be rebuilt and this,
with the property loss. Il is believed
will make the loss 100000.

BRUTAlLY TREATED.
Complaints from Orphans Home
at Binghampton, N. Y.
Youthful Inmates Beaten and Other
wise Abused by Officials.
Metal Loaded Whip. and HEAVY Rat.
tans Freely Used.

Blnghampton, N. Y, Feb. 22-Story
after story of inhuman treatment was
told to the board of trustees and assis-
.aht BOARD OF the Susquehanna Valley
iiome, VINO, with press representatives,
began an investigation into the reports
|oI cruelty Which have become preva-
llent.
The home is for orphans and has
ABOUT 200 children. 1t is under the care
of the State Board of Charities and I'M
der the direct supervision of a board of
trustees.
"A month ago one of the boys COM
lplained to a member of the board of
supervisors that he had been thrashed
until blood came.
H. Clay preston, special officerfor the
society for the prevention of cruslty to
children, took the matter up and this
week the charges were made public.
AT the hearing a few of the boys and
three instructors were examined Butts
OF horsewhips, loaded with metal and
a dozen rattans from a quarter of an
inch thick, were introduced in evidence
as the implements with which boys
We're whipped.
1t was testified that nearly all the al
legged excessive whipping was done by
Maurice Watson, the assistant super
Iintendent, and that enmity existed be-
tween the teachers and Supt. Fuller,
an ex-assemblyman from this district,
so that matters were made worse by
| that fact.
DelOs Dwello said that he had often
been pounded until his clothing was
taken off, and diagonally across the
back of his leg, just below the hips, was
black and blue mark, which, he said,
was made by Mr.. Watson having
pounded him with a board. Watson
told two boys who saw the assault not
to tell and also threatened to lick
Delos if he told the trustees about the
| incident
From Carl Bishop, a tiny little fell
low, was elected the information that
he had been struck by Watson across
the bare knees until the blood ran. The
rattan was used on his knees until it
was split.
Because g boy stopped to warm him
| self at radiator one morning, Watson
was said to have picked him up by the
ears and thrown him upon the floor and
pounded him in the face. Four boys
said they saw Watson do this.
The next hearing will be held, Tues
lday.

sent down a posse of deputies. The
strikers were driven off the fields and
several deputies have been assigned to

57TH CONGRESS.
Washington's Birthday Will Be
Observed by Both Branches.
Panama Canal and Statehood Bills
Await the Senate's Pleasure.
House Has Nothing Left But the APP
preparation Bills.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The course of
the proceedings in the Senate during
the present week will depend very
largely upon whether there is an adj
justment of difficulties upon the state
hood bill. If there is no agreement
the bill will continue to cut a figure in
the proceedings whether it be techni-
cally under consideration or not, just
as it has done during the greater part
of the session. If the canal treaty is
proceeded with, the statehood bill will
do much to shape it's course: if the
treaty is put aside and the appropriate
ton bills taken up, the statehood ques-
ton will present itself in the shape of
riders on those bills.
According to the present program the
post office appropriation bill will be the
first of the supply measures to be con-
sidered. 1t is, indeed, the only one OF
those bills not yet passed which has
been reached from committee. 1t car
ries the statehood bill as a rider and
unless an understanding is arrived at
before the bill is taken up, the question
of it's retention will Immediately con-
front the Senate. That will be criti-
cal period in the statehood bills ca
reer. Some of the anti-statehood sem
ators contend that it can be beaten as
a rider and advocate an invitation to
this test of strength.
In accordance with the annual Gus
tom in the Senate on the birthday OF
the father of his country, the proceed
ings, tomorrow, will begin with the
reading of Washington's farewell adj
dress. The reading, this year, will be
performed by Senator Dubois. At the
conclusion of this ceremony the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
may report an omnibus public building
BILL in which case an effort will be
made to have the bill considered at
once. Should this fail, Senator Gull
lom will move that the Senate proceed
to the consideration of the canal treaty
in executive session. If in the mean
time compromise on the statehood
bill has been effected it is believed that
the ratification of the treaty can be
secured within a day or two. But
whether there is an adjustment on
statehood or not, or whether the treaty
is ratified or not, it is not intended that
many more days will be allowed to
elapse before the taking up of the APP
preparation bills. With only eight
working days of the session left, all
senators appreciate that it is essential
that there should be little more delay
in voting the necessary supplies for the
support of the government for the fis-
cal wear.
Of the Is appropriation bills only six
so far have been considered by the
Senate proper but several of the re-
naming seven have the attention of
the Senate Three have not, however,
been received from the House of Rep
resentatives.
