So far, thirty-eight corpses have been recovered, The great Bouzey dyke of the Epinal District of the Vonges, it now appears, burst at 5 o'clock this morning. The cubic area of the dyke 000,000 metre: A great rush of waters and much loss of life followed. It is impossible at this hour to get a correct estimate of the damage done or of the number of lives lost; but, from the number cf bodies already found the indications are that the loss of life will be very heavy. Enormous damage has been done in fhe surrounding country, The railways In all directions are interrupted and a large number of villages are entirely flooded. In some places the force of the tor- rent let loose by the break in the dyke waa so great that entire houses were swept away and large trees were torn UR PY the root he reservoir was situated close to the village of Bouzey, and was connect- ed with the Canal de'I'Est.
