To Repair Fire Alarm.
John H. Hoyt appeared before the
council and stated that Bupot‘intendmt
A. V. Wainwright, of the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting Company. had
told him that the company was about
to introduce a much higher voltage
and that the fire alarm wires should
be repaired, and in memes changed.
Mr. Hoyt Iisbt’hiated that; ,strlkor
of the ball at the old town nose. a
delicate piece of mechanism. needs
looking over and care. The Connecti-
cut Railway and Lighting Company. it
is understood. intends it! change their
voltage to 5.000. which is much great-
or than at the. present time and should
one of these wires come In contact
with the tire alarm wires. much dam-
age would probably result.
.\'ii. Hoyt stated that ShOllid‘ihe com-
llRil,‘"t~‘ wires become crossed with a
tirc alarm wire, several of" the alarm
boxes might be. burned out. as had
been the case before. It was voted
that the system be placed in firstsclass
condition
(‘ouncilman Niblock inquired about
the manner the chief could be notified

in his house. Mr. Nibloek withdrew
his motion that a has be placed in the
chief's house. iipou learning that the
chief had not made any request for one
to the fire committee.
To Price Crushed Btone.
(‘hairnian Betta. of the, Highway
t‘ommltteo. thought that it would be
a good plan to secure prices of crush-
l‘tl stone for the coming year. so much
trouble having been encountered last
scason. Councilman Betta was direct-
ed to secure information as to prices
and secure samples of stone.
Paving Upper Wall Street.
Councilman Niblock asked what was
to be done about the paving of Wall
street to the beginning of West avenue,
as suggested in Mayor Smith‘s mes-
sage. Mr. Niblock thought the present
council should do the work. it was
brought out that there would have to
be an appropriation by a city meeting.

Goals Set fire to the
Apartments
(treat damage has been done by the
exceedingly cold weather. and the
worst that has occurred in town here
was the explosion of a water back in
the Worcester Flats, Elizabeth street.
this morning. A new kitchen range in
the home of Peter Hutchinson was dee-
troycd, and red hot coals scattered all
over the room. Mr. Hutchinson is em-
ployed In the Norwalk iron Works.
and had left home this morning. His
wife was in one of the bed chambers.
when she heard a loud explosion, and
running to the kitchen saw, the havoc
which had been wrought. She had
hardly time to notice it when tire
broke out in several places about the
room. A red hot stove lid had been
thrown into the bed clothes. and they
were burning merrily In a second. Mrs.
Hutchinson ran to the window and
called in (‘haries Conley. driver for thc
Adams Express Company. lletweea
them they put the fire out. being as-
sisted slightly by neighbors. The back
and top was blown completely off the
stow and coats of fire had been scat-
tered all over the room. It is estimat-
ed that the damage will amount to
over 8100. Fortunately for her, Mrs.
Hutchinson was in another room when
the explosion occurred, or she, might
have sustained serious injuries by be-
ing struck by the pieces of fiylng iron.
How the water back came to ex-
plode, no one aims to know. There
had been a fire in the store all night.
and when the explosion took plan» the
stove was so hot that the lids were
red.
Mr. llutcbinson occupies the first.
floor of the dwelling, and considerable
THINK? was done to his belongings by
t w flooding of the rooms by water.
The flats are owned by Raymond
fit-others. and the damage will be re-
paired as soon as misslhls. It was ow-
ing to the persistence of Mr. (‘onley
that the building did not catch fire.
He put out the flames whenever they
appeared, with buckets of water.
CHANNEL FROZEN UP.
Causes Thousands of Dollars Loss to
Oyster Shippel’l.
The oyster growers of South Nor—
walk are losers by thousands of doi-
Iars by the. present cold wave, follow-
ing as it has so closely on the other.
The channel is so blocked with icc
as to render it impossible for the oys-
ter steamers to secure oystem, It is
believed that several steamers are front,
so In at Northport, as they have not
appeared here with oysters for the
Nortliport Oyster Company. which was
obliged to suspend its opening Industry

ing a small supply of Oysters on hand.
is only working part of the time open-
ing them. and If the winner holds cold
they, too, in all probability will be
crippled,
Several of the oyster steamers about
the harbor are considerably banged tip
as a result of bucking the Ice.
Norwalk is truly. an inland city to-
day, and will be for some time. The
channel. which was opened a few days
ago to that city has closed up again so
solidly that a team of horses might be
driven across it.
Several of the coal dealers are be-
ginning to think that it is almost time
for them to order it few t'Sl‘iOMiS by
rail, as there are no prospects of get-
ting any barges up the river for sev-
eral days at least. and no one can tell
how long the present cold weather will
last.
The steamer Eagle had considerable
difficulty yesterday afternoon, in break-
ing out a channel to the Sound, so
that she could go to New York. She
finally succeeded. The (‘ity of Nor-
walk. however. came in at upturn
hour this morning, and stuck fa not
far from Dorlon's. This morning. after
daylight she started to make her dock.
'l‘hoiigb the distance Is short. the
steamer was several hours covering It,
being compelled to back off and back
against the thick ice. Whenever she
would strike it.'she would shiver and
shake from stem to stern, as if she had
struck a rock. She. finally reached the
wharf.

Mr. Deweii said he was counsel for the

At the office of the Starla Line, It

cause of the trouble.
