Peabody DPW Reform Loses in Senate Vote Split
Boston Gov Peabody faced defeat as three Western Massachusetts senators joined others to reject his plan to reorganize the Public Works Department. The measure would have created a five member commission reporting to the governor, replacing the current setup with future downsizing. The Senate Ways and Means Committee backed the alternative, while critics argued the draft diverges from the governor's core aims. Senators St John Hammond and Bisbee supported the governor’s reform, but the version backed by the Ways and Means panel prevailed 21 to 17.

Wall of Water Hits Italian Valleys Killing Hundreds
A massive Alpine landslide plunged into a four mile long reservoir near Belluno Italy and unleashed a wall of water that swamped the Vaiont Dam. Hundreds died and authorities estimated total fatalities around 3 000. Longarone and several hamlets were devastated while the dam remained intact. U S Army reconnaissance confirmed the dam survived and aided the relief effort as tens of thousands of rescuers converged on the scene. The catastrophe followed autumn rains loosening the slope and rising the Piave River level.
