of the breaking of the electric light
cable under the drawbridgo. This was
broken by the stemer City of Norwalk

there at low tide.

The harbor is charted for eight feet
at low water and the steamer being
heavily loaded struck the soft mud on

The electric cable which is there, had
been sunk several feet into the mud,

It. The damage was not discovered
until it became time to turn on the
lights in the stores and houses on the
bribgc. When night come there was
no light and for a time the break could
not be. located,

Superintendent Winchester and his
man found it during the evening, how-
ever. and discovered that It would be
impossible to make any attempt to
repair it until low water, which was
In the wee small hours of this morning.
They accordingly stayed up all night
and grappled for the cable by mean
light. thn the No ends were re
covered, a new section was inserted
and the connection made again. There
will be no trouble with the lights this
averting. The work was finished about
7 o‘clock this morning.

The people who use the lights on the
bright were somewhat discommoded
by the break. but were able to get
along by borrowing oil lamps from
those fortunate enough to have such
articles. The stores winch are usually
brilliantly lighted every night present-
ed a rather sombre appearance. There
was no one depending on the wires for
power, so there was no monetary dam-
age done except the break in the ca-
ble. The inconvenience. however. was
considerable for some of those who de-
pend on the lights.

down a decision yesterday in the case
of Harry J. Douglas, of Stamford. are
afoot Emma J. Richardson and Wil-
iiam T. Washburn. Judgment is ren-
dered for the plaintiff to recover
$814.81 with costs. The case was heard
on Tuesday.

The plaintiff and defendant were to
dispute over pay for services rendered.
He was engaged to do certain account-
lngir at the rate of 310 a day of six
hours. He presented a bill for $2.400
and the defendants refused to pay it.

Judge Wheeler in handing down his
decision filed a memorandum In which
he says that from the plaintiff's own
statement it in apparent that he has
"padded" his claim. He put in time
for 1,838 hours. But the court reduces
this to to: hours. which entitles him to
81.33617, loan the credit of $520, leav-
ing a balance‘of 8806.87. To this must
be added 07.60 «pence incurred, mak.
ing the total in accord with the judg-
ment as stated.
