There are strong rumors that the

in the works, and that It will include
many, If not most of the corset manu-

tissue W. Carroll. one of the strong
stockholders of the R & (l Company.
He stated that the company did not
know of any suuh trust. and that no
changes ofany kind were contemplat-

The rumors, which have been clr—.

1 Engine Company' a steam-
er: Hans were made for the transpor-
tation of the steamel. but just as Chief
Prowitt was oomplciiug the arrange-
ments. soother message arrived say-
ing that It was believed that the tire
was under toutrol. and for Norwalk
not to send the steamer, unless a start
had already been made.
The first request for thew-steamer
was received by the Norwaik police.
who Immediately communicated with
Chin! J. Thornton Prowltt. of the fire
department. 'I as chief hurriedly look-
ed up Councilman David Gould. and
while the. latter was marahaling two
flat cars and a iooomotive. to make up
a syreclal train, the. chief returned to
get the Phoenix steamer and a hose
wagon In shape for the trip. A few
moments later the second message was
received. saying not to come. The ar-
rangements for tho flat cars and loot»
motive were then cancelled.
The City of Norwalk's water sys-
tem is In very bad shape at the
present time for tire lighting. and the
city would probably find itself in the
same pmllcament as Stamford was In
last night In one of a good-sisal
blue.
Many of the fire hydrants about the
city are frozen up. and in this condi-
tion are entirely useless for fire pur-
poses. Some time ago the Phoenix
steamer was taken around to aev ral
of the frost-n hydrants and ths'od'
them out. It has been ascertained
that all of the hydrants which were.
opened. are new frosen solid again.
Golden avenue and Spring Hill are
‘ . useless bombs of
the colda weather and he ”replied that
h could not tell. It Is feared by many
that the majority are of little value.
In case of tire within considerable
distance of the Norwalk river. the
steamer would be utilised to draw wat-
er from the river, if the hydrants could
not be used. Norwalk has been very
fortunate in thematter of tires during
the winter, no fires of any consequence
having occurred within the city limits
for a long time. it behooI'esthe pub-
lic. however. to take extra precautions
against fire at tbelpreeent time. (with
many of the fire hydrants in the con-
dltion mentioned. '
For some time there has been talk
of the water department securing a
boiler to be used expressly In thawing
out hydrants. but none has yet been
secured. Such an apparatus would
have had plenty of work throughout
the present winter. which has been
an unusually severe one.
With last night's fire in Stamford as
a severe. lesson in‘ frozen hydrants. It
is expected that an extra effort will be
made to get the hydrants now frozen in
a condition In Which they will be of
some use. There are a number of
buildings about Main and Wall streets,
which. should a are start in them'.
would take up In smoke the greater
portion of the city‘s business center.
should— there be any delay.
Water Commissioner Wallace Donn
claimed this morning that most of the
hydrants about the business section of
the city are In good condition. . One
in particular is known to be fronen up.
This hydrant is located in front of the
clothing store of Willis H. Selleck
Wall street.
Salt has been placed in many of the
hydrants about the city. and It is be
lieved by the commissioners that this
will assist very considerably in keep-
ing the hydrants go all pe. It is claim-
ed that It in slate t case can to thaw out
hydrants. as they immediately freeae
up harder than ever.
Much trouble is anticipated by the
commialioners in the spring. when
there III a general thaw. It is expected
the: many of the water pipes will
burst.
Commibaioner Dana In of the opinion
that had the new sixteen Inch water
