A dispatch from Scottdale. Pa. last night
says: With the roar Of Niagara, the new res
ervoir Of the Citizens Water Company
burst last night at midnight, and more
than 200OO0.0OO gallons of water rushed
down the valley. sweeping all before it and
inundating crops and wrecking buildings in
its path. 1t was discovered about o'clock
that the dam was in danger Of breaking,
and messengers were hastily sent through
the valley to warn the people of their peril
Hundreds Of lives vert thus saved for
few hours later the whole valley was I'M
der water.
The damage to the machinery and reser-
voir alone will amount to at least $50 COO
When the torrent swept down the valley
buildings were torn from their foundations
and carried on the crest of the great wave
like so many wash tubs. Crops valued at
thousands of dollars were completely wiped
out. Bridges Were carried away

bar him from all school games. However.

hope of inducing the young man to don the

his connection with the Williamsport club
is not infinitely worse than that with Pitts

about the company he is asked to Join. Yet
