Bursting of a Reservoir in the Connecti- cut Valley. Three Villages Almost Com- pletely Swept Away- Twelve Miles of Territory Laid Waste. Twelve Mills and Seventy-five Dwellings Destroyed. Fifteen Bridges Carried Away by the Torrent. One Hundred Persons Reported Drowned, Four Hundred People Left Withont Shelter, ’ Hundreds of Horses and Cattle Perish in the Flood. Loss of Property Estimated at $5,000,000. Svecial U?Tlm'h to The Chicgao Tridune. Srars inzn,, 3y 16.—Never hins West- Yperienced anything like ihe stupendous disaer which has to-dayTad waste twelve miles of the valley of Mill River, in the westorn portion of Hempshire County. The shock fell with the suddenness of a thunderbolt from a cloar sky, leeving its victims no opportu- nity to escape from the fearful, all-engulfing flood. The reservoir which caused this fear- ful loss of life and property Was not the large ome in Goshen, as stated in a previous dispatch, but one of 100 acres cx- tent in the Town of Williamsburg, and sbout 3 miles above the village. 1t was constructed six Fears ago WITIT CRIMINAL CHEAPNESS by the Mill River Manufacturers’ Aseociation, & combination of capitalists who own the mills on the stream below. It waaintended to supply water ‘in’ times of drouth. Instead of build- ing & substantial dam scross tho Ravens, whera the reservoir has its outlet, they merely piled up an earth embaukment with a stone overflow. 1t was kwrown £11 woll that tho soil was of A CLAYEY AND TBEACHEROUS CHARACTEE, but false economy prevailed over sound judg- ment, and the clay was asked to do the work of stone. The result appears to-dar, in the loss df 2 bundred lives and a million dollars’ worth of property in a fow briet hours. It was well known in all the section, now the scene of a foarful devastation, that the late Lieunt.-Gov. Hayden, from whom the manufacturing village of Haydenrille was named, B CONSIDERED THIS BESERVOIR EXTREMELY INSE- cure, and had several times expressed great fears that the slender barrier which served as & dam would be swept away. Happy would it have been for thonsandsof peopla to-day if Lis coun- sels had been heeded. 7The most that was done, however, was to hire a man to watch the reser- voir. It has been known for some days past that the water was leching through the embankment, but the fact does mnot scem to have beon given due importance. Last night thero was a heavy rain, filling the reservoir to the brim, and soon after 6 o'clock this morning the watchman was terrified to find IT8 WEAR BUPPORT GIVING WAY, and » mighty torrent of wator pouring out. Hastily raounting a borse, he drove with the ut- ‘most possible speed to Willinmsburg, shouting to evary one to flec for their lives, s the torrent would soon be wupon thom. His horse was 8o mrged beyond his strength that the animal dropped dead in the streets of Willismsburg., Procuring another horse, he dasbed on to Skinnerville, s little village mext inthe path of the flood, spreading dismsy in overy direction. i IT WAS A YEARFOL RIDE, with the torrent ronring bhind him,—a race not for his own life but for the lives of others,—and almost as worthy o be immortalized in verse as Sheridan’s ride to Winchester. Tearing down to tho little village, he ehouted the tidings to William Skinner, proprietor of the eilk-mills, who instantly GAVE THE ALAR by ringing the bell of his factory as fora fire. ‘His operatives, rushing ont, wero told to run for their lives to the hills which surround the vil- Jage. They had scarcely timeto do so before the flood had 3 SWEPT AWAY THE BILI' FACTORT, only o few ruins remaining in the track of de- vastation to show where it had stood. Tp to this time the flood had swept across one corner of Williamsburg Village, and had carried off the only factory in the litile se:tlement of Bidnnerville. THE HZAVIEST DLOW, 0 far as tho destruction of property Was con- cerned, remeined for the thriving village of Hajy- denville, where wero located tho principal manu- facturing establishment of the Town of Will- jamsburg. Here wero tho brass factory of Hay- den, Gere & Co., and the large new office build- ing adjoining, in which was tho Haydenville Savings Dank. Both of them vero large, sub- stantial brick buildings, but they stood up no more against the flood than paper houses would have done. They were KWEPT CLEAN AWAY, and with them the safe of the Savings Bank, in which was 235,000 in money. Nothiog has been seen of thé safe or money since. The force of the torrent at this point may be jndged from the fact that 8 large boiler was carried several rods, and hoisted onto the verandah of the Hayden mansion, while another boiler was churned full of mountain trees. ol 0X SWEPT TRE CURRENT. carrying off Elam Graves' stors ; also Eames’ store, several houses with their cccupants, 3 part of Loomis' Hotel, Thomas Hayden & Co.’s tobacco factory, and two iron bridges. THERE WAS A TEBRIELE LOSS OF LISE at Leeds, the mext village encountored by the flood. The first intimation received thero of the impending disster was o terrific Toaring as of a traln of cars passing over 3 bridge. In sain- stant down came the torrent.

Bostox, May 16.—The villages which are af- fected by the disastor are Williamsburg, Hay- deuville, Leeds, snd_Florence, and are situated on 3ill River, which is a tnibutary of the Con- necticut River, running into the latter at Northampton. In the village of Williamsburg, ALl River divides into two branches, one of which has its rise in Goshen. aud the other at about the edge of Conway. Two largs reservoire are situated on the Goshen branch, and ons on the Conway _branch, containing a total dopth of no\ less than 6 feet. THE RESERVOIR DAMS were regarded s subsiantially constructed, being built by ekillful engineers in the moat _approve modern method, and larze sums of money were expeuded Iast yoar in pusting them in what was supposed to be perfect order. The oldest dam is at least twonty-five years of age, and is on the Goehen branch. ~ It was most carefully re-buile within the last two years. Above this was a now dam, built last year. The dam on the Con- way brauch is six or seven years old. THE MILLS ON TILE STREAY, reckoning from Williamsburg down to North- ampton, aroas follows: 3ir.
