pressure of the South Nor-walk water.
which is available in the business celi-
for for firo purposes. The. various tests
were made at the Soilth 1"ch Mllt‘ Riv-
l‘l' school house. and wore witnessed
by practically all the inhabitants of
the village. The Rowuytou llosc Coni-
puuy and the Fire Police conducted the
affair. The supply wagon was taken to
the scene about 7 o'clock. and on tho

W, llurford. from South Norwalk. the
various tests commenced. They Were
under the direction of Chief Engineer
lildwiu L. Stevens. assisted by ruciu-
III-rs of the company. The high flag
pole in front of the school was used.
to aseerfuiu the heighth of‘ the stream.
The pole is seventy feet high. and the
water was thrown some thirty and
forty feet above the top of fills. the
height varying with the nozzles and
110er used. Ninety pounds water pros-

about 1.200 feet of good hose. 600 feet
of which is rubber and 600 feet of cot-
ton. The water simply comes through
a six inch pipe. and the. efforts of thiI
rmldeuts are now being directed to
having the line extendedthrough the
upper end of the village. connecting

ed IIIo visitors in his usual happy
style. and then called on the, South
Noi-ualk officials for speeches. Com-
missioner Swartz, who was among
those who responded, complimented
the company highly on Its efficiency
and the means at hand for fighting
the fire fiend. He jokingly alluded to
tho quality of the water on occasions,
and said that. South Norwalk was to
expend $00,000 for a water filter for
tho benefit of the Rowayton people.
III» also touched on the division ques-
tion, and hoped that Rowayton would
~ho as closely Iinltcil tb South Nor-walk
as though It were a part of the city.
Chief Wright spoke of the location
of some. of the. hydrants. and said
that it had been suggested that some
changes he made. and new ones locat-
ed. Chief Stevens was requested to
make a map or the present hydrants.
and submit it with recommendations
for alterations to the water commis-
sioners. It is probable.I that some ac-
tion will be taken soon.
Other good speeches were made. and
aboiii ll o‘clock the gathering dispers-

Mrs. Irwin was twice married. She
secured a divorce from her first bus-

be Similar to Hill Battalion.
A movement is on foot. III Norwalk
for the foriuaflon of a Republican
club. similar to the. famous l-iill liai-
taliou. for the coming fall national po-
litical campaign. The project ls meet-
ing with much favor among the young
men of the city and the present pros-
pect: is that It will be successful. Par
tlcularly enthusiastic ovor the matter
are those who wore members of the
Hill Battalion before mentioned.
The prime mover in the present cf-
foil. to organize a marching club ls
Harry M. Camp of the. Dead Letter Of-
flee. Washington who has been spend-
ing a few weeks in town. it is also
stated that Captain Howard .1. Bloom-
er. of Company D, who was at the head
of the Hill Battalion. is enthusiastic
over theI matter.
Mr. Camp, it is expected. will re.
turn to Washington shortly. but will
return here during the campaign.
It Is probable that a meeting will be
held very shortly to plan the formation
of the club, choose officers, secure iuIl-
forms. etc. What name will be onus.
on for the club is not. kn wu. biit this
will be decided upon when the plans
become more definite. The members
of the erstwhile Hill Battalion remem-
bers with much pleasure their trip to
Bidgeport,. Danbury and other places
in this vicinity during the campaign
which preceded President McKinley’s
second election.
Leading Republicans in the city are.
heartily In accord with the organiza-
tion of a marching club arid will pro~
bably lend financial aid to it.
No headquarters have yet been se-
lected, but this is a detail that is easi-
ly arranged.

The cabin catbont Edith. owned by
LeRoy Montgomery and Howard A.
Montgomery. of Norwalk. met with
quite serious mishap yesterday after-
noon. while the former was out with
he couple; of friendsifor a sail. The
meat broke off close to the deck and
carried the whole rigging by the board.
The. sea was rather choppy. birt by
quick work the sail and spars were got-
ten aboard. Fortunately the. boat’s
plight was seen by two young men in
a fast cruising launch named the. Gen-
eral Bumps. en route from Philadel-
phia to Newport. The cruisers came
to the Edifh's assistance and towed
her into The Knob. after which they
resumed their journey.
The accident occurred about a' mile
off the southerly end of Smith's 18--

It was erroneously reported about
Belle island and vicinity. last night,
that a sailboat had capsized and that
the occupants were seen clinging to
the bottom of an upturned craft.

Charles Gulder. he started out this
morning shortly after it o‘clock. from
llitl lioiiie.'wltli all of the enthusiasm
of youth. over the fact that he was to
have it day's vacation from his work
at the lniiiisbiiry, Mathewson and
Company shoe factory, which is closed
because of the death yesterday of ex-
lovoruur George II}. lxiiiusbury.
Earlier ill thiI morning. illiiirlie. as
re was known to his young friends.
had asked his father. "l'apa. can I go
down to ltoton l'oiiit. for a swim to-
day?“
"No, the father replied. “I don't
think you ought to go down there. The
water is deep and you might get
drowned. ”
"Well can I go down to the river?"
the lad persisted The parent finally
gave his boy consent to go into the
river because it was shallow, he. not
dreaming of the. deep hole which was
to swallow his son up until death had
clutched lIInI securely. Charlie. was
lllt‘ olily one of the three lads who
took the trip to the swimming Iiolc.
who went into the water. Removing
his clothing, he plied them neatly on
the bank, where It lay after their own-
er's dead body had been dragged from
the river bottom.
The lad, like most boys of his age.
was a good swimmer and diver and as
boys like. to get “wet over" quickly. he
doveI from Ii tree stump jut-Ii under the
siIiIIfuio of the w..aici llis dive was
too straight downward and he struck
the bard botioui gushing his head and
icuderiug him uncousc ions.
When he diil not rise to the surface
and swim about as expected. his broth—
or and other companion were so badly
frightened that they were speechless
and did Irot know what to do. They
finally begun shouting liistily for help
and this soon brought a number to tho
spot.
llai'old Murray and Frank Gilbert,
another brother of the. unfortunate
boy, were also on their way to the
place for a swim and arrived just nf~
tor the drowning boy had made his fu—
titl plunge.
Young Murray took off his clothes
in very quick order and dove in after
the Gilbert boy, who had come to the
surface struggling and had gone down
again. where his body rested on the
bottom. Murray iuade a number of
valiant attempts to rescue him. but
without avail. -
Frederick h‘airchild. who lives on the
New Canaan Road, a short distance
away. heart shouted several times “A
boy is drowned,“ and dropping liis
work ran for the spot. Mr. II‘nirchild
ls unable to swim, Iiiit lio rushed Into
the deep water after the boy. who was
even their struggling slightly. Mr.
Fair-child once got hold of him. but
his grasp was so insecure ihat he was
obliged to relinquish it.
Mr. lI‘airchild. during his efforts.
had gone beyond his depth. and there
came. very near being a double fatal-
ity. He lliinlly managed. however. to
get out of his dangerous position. ”i
had sent a liiil for a physician and au-
oihor one to Ills home. for n rake. Af-
ter several minutes grappling with the
garden utensil. the. body was hauled
out of the river to the bank. The
reseller was of theI opinion that the
boy had been under water fifteen or
twenty minutes.
Soon after Dr. Samuel H. Hunting-
ton. medical examiner of the Town of
Norwalk. and Dr. J. Milton (‘o'buru
were on the spot. The physicians
used every effort possible to resusci-
tate the lad. but no signs of life repaid
their effort.
News of the. drowning had spread
rapidly in the. vicinity, and soon there
was a large crowd on the river bank
ready to do anything possible. Near-
by residents brought blankets nnd the
form of the boy was laid on these and
others placed over him.
It was evident that there. was no
other finding for the medical examiner
save “death by accidental drowning."
Dr. Huntington gave Raymond & Son
permission to remove the remains
from the river bank.
There was little doubt that the gash
in the head had been the cause of ren-
dering the Gilbert lad unconscious.
though one of his companions thought
that possibly be had a fit in the water.
Had the water been clear. it is quit:I
possible that he could have been
dragged out in time to save his life.
The dye from the mills had so discol-
ored the water, ‘that it was impossi-
ble to distinguish anything but a few
inches under the surface.
