The meeting was called to order at
8 o'clock. by Mayor Cavanagh. All
the Councilmen were present. The first
matter taken up was a communication
from the Street Commissioners. which
was as follows:
Gentlemen: Concerning the water
being forced upon the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Com-
pany's tracks by the city. which was
brought up byiMartin Bates. Jr.. A
Company, and referred to us to inves-
tigate, we would respectfully report as
follows:
There being no gutter on the side
of Benton street. the gutter on the
east side has had to take the surface
water from both sides of Lowe street
from a point near the house belonging
to Herman Quittner. on said Lowe
street. to the Railroad bridge. besides
the drainage from the west side of
Benton street. By the time the water
reached H. 0. Bailey's residence. on
' Boston street. there was such a volume
that the gutter was unable to carry it
around the corner to the brook near
Bailey avenue, as was “handed when
the gutter was laid. and would inva -
lably overflow into the sidewalk and
into Mr. Bailey's yard. An opening
was then made into the railroad trough
near the Bailey residence. built appar.
ently for no other purpose than that
to which we were putting It. as the
water used to take that course before
the gutter on Benton street. was laid.
and no objection has ever been made.

The fact. which seems to be general—

packed with Democrats. has stirred up
considerable of a fuss. Now the mat-

Connection at the South
Norwaiii Depot
H. R. Montgomery, who resides in
New York city. and has been employed
for some time as a passenger brake-
msn by the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company, was very
painfully injured this afternoon. at
the east—bound station of the railroad
company. in South Norwalk.
Mr. Montgomery Is one of the crew
of the accommodation train which
leaves South Norwalk daily. at 1:30
o'clock, for Danbury. This afternoon
two baggage cars were to be switched
onto the train. and Mr. Montgomery
crawled between them for the purpose
of making a connection with the air
hose.
When the two sections of the train
came together ltlr. Hontgomery' s right
arm was ciught between them. and
crushed in a frightful manner. The in-
iured man was given every attention
by the train crew and the employee at
the depot, and was assisted into the
baggage-room of the east-bound station
to await the arrival of Dr. J. Milton
Coburn. who was promptly on . the
scene. ,
The physician made an examination.
and found that Mr. Montgomery's right
arm was broken between the shoulder
and elbow. and that the flesh had
been severely Injured by the pressure
of the cars.
The ambulance was summoned. and
the injured man was removed to the
Norwalk Hospital for treatment. He
will probably remain at the institution
for several days.
