ICE JAM IN HOUSATONIC
 THREATENS K. K. BRIDGE
Snow and Melting Rain Raise Waters of Connecticut River to Flood Levels - Much Damage Done Throughout Naugatuck Valley - Boy Drowned In Waterbury

Winsted, Jan. 22-Conditions follow ing the heavy rains last night and the melting of the snow are without rival in recent years. The Still river is at the high water rark and the ice gorge that has caused considerable anxiety for several days is now stalled between the plants of the Gilbert Clock Cou- pany and the Winsted Hose Company. Several plants in the neighborhood have been forced to suspend work to- day owing to the high water.
 The east end of the borough is well under water and Main street near Di- vision street is submerged to 8 depth of two feet, The plant of the Stan dard Brush Company has three feet of water on the main floors and cannot do any business until the water re- cedes.
 The Pennington river too, is on the rampage. Cellars along the banks are in the highlands. Manufacturing is practically at a standstill today in New Hartford.
 Meriden, Jan. 22.-An ice jam in the Quinnipiac river swept away the un- derpinning of a long wooden bridge over the river at the Waterbury rail- road tracks on Cheshire street during the night and this morning the town closed the bridge which threatens to collapse, and an iron will probably be erected by the town and New Haven road. The strong wind blew the roof off tenement house and the apart ments of the several tenants were drenched, the rain forcing them to bail all night.
 Derby, Jan. 22.-Train schedules are today thoroughly demoraliged. Trains in and out of Derby are from minutes to hours late. The ice in the Housa- tonic river began to break up early last evening and today is rushing down the river. The railroad bridge at Shelton is practically impossible on account of the ice jam.

NEW YORK POLICE
 WANT BRINNIER

Fred J. Brinnier, the sporty youth whose check manipulations have brought him into theq tolls of the local police, will be turned over to the New York authorities when he is arraign- ed in the city court on Tuesday morn ing. Brinnier, as the local police suspected, is wanted elsewhere for fraudulent check operations.
 Inspector McCafferty of the New York detective bureau has asked the local police to hold Brinnier, and they have informed him to have a man here, Tuesday. to take charge of Brin- nier. On that date he is to be ar raigned in the city court in connec- tion with the alleged forgery of the name of local merchant on a $50 check.
 The New York offence involves as the complaining witness Judge Smith, whose office is at 277 Broadway. Brin- nier's father, a prominent New York state lawyer, the former Mayor of Kinston, has not yet shown a dis position to help the youth. The New York police say it is understood there that Brinnier's people have cast him off because of his tendency to thiev- ing and forgery.

The train records show that when the train left Sudbury at noon there were approximately 100 persons aboard.
 There are 22 injured being cared for in Sudbury and a score of injured in this city and other nearby towns Only a few are fatally injured.
 It is possible that the total death Hist will reach close to 50.

Known injured: G. A. Martin, drummer, Waterloo, Ont; George Duboloc. of soo River, Mich; M J. Pierce, Toronton; w. J. Bell Sudbury, dying, Lansfield, Montreal; V. H. Wilmot, Montreal; Judge D.

 The exact number of dead will not be known for several days as divers will have to thoroughly explore the Spanish river, into the icy waters of which three of the seven cars of the ill-fated train plunged. In the burn ed wreckage of the derailed cars, 1t Is feared, are many other bodies, making the complete list of dead inn possible.
 The Spanish river bridge is an iron structure and the heavy train struck it on the down grade while going at a high rate of speed. As the train was crossing the bridge the trucks of the second class car bumped from the tracks, presumably from broken rail. The car was cut in two against the bridge abutments so great was the momentum of the train. One half of this car, with the Co1on1sts car, first class coach and dining car were hurled into the Spanish river crashing through the ice and being swept half way across the stream.

 Waterbury, Jan. 22.-Word from dif- ferent parts of the State today indi- cates that the rain of yesterday and last night has caused all the Connec- ticut streams to overflow their banks, in several instances causing consider able damage to residents living with ins reach of the rising waters. The Connecticut river, the Thames and the Naugatuck rivers are all flowing at high water mark and further damage is threatened
 The damage along the banks of the Naugatuck river last night and early today was probably the most severe. Every town in the valley was affected were rushing in torrents, carrying everything that came in their wap, down stream at a tremendous rate of speed Early today Albert Takulat a 12-year-old German boy living in Waterbury, accidentally fell into the Naugatuck river while on his way to work, his body disappearing under the turbulent waters. The towns below on the river were at once communicat- ed with and residents asked to watch for the body. At Il o'clock, however, the body had not been found.
 In Naugatuck outhouses have been washed away from backwards located on the banks and carried down the stream. Two local factories were forced to suspend work when the wa ter flooded their engine rooms, and a family living on Curtiss street was forced to take shelter from the flood in the home of a neighbor living on more elevated ground.
 Old residents declare the flood is the most severe that has visited Nauga- tuck in recent years. Similar condi- tions are reported from Ansonia, Derby and Seymour. Near Seymour a DOT ton of the tracks of the Connecticut Company's line was covered up by a small landslide which tied up traffic for two or three hours today
