The scarcity of water in the lower or
distributing reservoir, is causing some.
inconvenience to manufacturing con-
cerns that depend upon the water for
power. steam, etc. lVater Commis-
sioner Prowitt says there is no doubt
the trouble is caused by air in the pipe
leading from the upper reservoir to the
lower one, The Sentinel’s theory that
“the trouble probably lays with the
new line of pipe, where the connections
are made, which allows air to fill the
siphon,” is hardly tenable, in view of
the fact that. the new line of pipe has
not yet been connected, and will not be
untilabout June next, as the work of
laying down the new pipe was discon-
tinued some time. ago for the winter,
and there is about a mile of pipe yet to -
lay before a connectimi with, the old
pipe will be reached. Mr. vl’rowitt
says the water will be. shut off next.
Sunday and the. pipes forced fullol‘
water and the air forced out, after
which he anticipates'no ftirtlfer trouble
from that source. '- ‘

now delirious at his home in Danbury.
Democratic borough committeenian L.
L. Sherwood took the train down, with
a second-hand hat belonging to a
friend, on which he was going to put
bombazine. When the. crash came Mr.
Sherwood fell onto the hat and smash-
ed it flat as apaiicake. He also severe-
ly strained his ankle, an as he got up
and limped off somebodg asked him if
he. was badly hurt. “NO", I guess not,”
replied Sherwood, lugubriously. “but
darn it all! I’ve smashed this hot.
The harrowing details of the collision
at South Norwalk yostcrday morning,
as published in the GAZETTE, complete
as they were, gave no adequate idea. of
the thrilling experiences and hair-
breadth escapes of the passengers on
the train, and especially those in the
smoking car. A GAZETTE reporter has
interviewed James W Porter, of Dan.
bury, who was in the smok'ing car, and
who gives the following account of his
own experience, and his observation as
regards that of his fellow commuters :
“I was sitting near the forward end of
the smoker,” said Mr. Porter, as he
handed the reporter at 15 cent cigar
with a gilt band around its middle,
“and wits holding my cigar against’fhe
cigar o t' John W. Hyatt, who was in
tliegact. of drawing for all his lungs
were wort h for a light, when the crash
came.:"’ it yatt was thrown over my head
and had both his cigar and mine driven
down his throat clean out of sight, and,
landingon his right hand, 'his thumb
was..forced clear across his hand to his
little finger, knoEking'theijoints of all
his other fingers out of their sockets.
The. last I saw of him he was trying to
climb out of one of the car ventilators,
under the influence of a delusion that.
it was a fire escape. My father—iii-law,
Andrew Hull, had niischievously
mounted a bicycle belonging to one of
the. passengers, on which he considers
himself .quite an expert, and was grace-
fully wheeling down the aisle of the
car, when the sudden stop frightened
the ‘cycle and caused it to rear up and
deposit the Hull of 31:") pounds of digni-
fied manly beauty on the floor near the
heater. Fred Leason was carefully and
tenderly nursing a basket containing
about a dozen dozen of fresh eggs when
the crash came. The basket was
knocked from his hand, and "all the
eggs were irretrievably wrecked, with
the except-i011 of a few, from which
some real cunning little chickens
emerged and won the affections of the
other passengers by their cute little
peepings. John Connell, who was
talking tariff with Henry Youngs,
emphasized his argument on the hat-
ters’ for duty by springing over Youngs’
head and brandishing his little feet in
the. air from the other alley, from which
he emerged with his hat forced down
over his cars. This familiarity Youngs
resented by turning a backward hand-
spring and alighting on Connell’s back.
Before he could stab his antagonist,
however, he was knocked galley-west
by the heels of Al. Stevens, who went
soaring over the heads of his fellow
passengers, to the rear end of the car,
and alighting gracefully on his head,
broke his pipe, for the price of which
he intends to bring suit against the
company. Abram Alstead took fright,
and kneelingon his seat he repeated
the ten commandments and Now I Lay
Me, then folding his hands across his
peaceful breast, - he. lay down on the
seat to await his doom, just in time for
Conductor Dyas to fall on him ker-
plunk, after a difficult but unappro-
ciated exhibition of lofty tumbling and
cart-wheel evoluting from the rear end
of the. car. Swift, the mail messenger
was heard to bump up against the par-
tition with a dull, sickening what-d0—
you-call~it, and we afterward ascer-
tained that he had fallen head first into
a mail bag, and was nearly suffocated
by the. perfume. of a love letter post-
marked Darien and addressed to J ini-
my Cosgrove, care EveningNews, Dan-
bury. There were lots of other acci-
dents and incidents in the smoker re-
sulting from the smashup, but I didn’t
have time to note them all, as I was in
' the soup with the rest, and have been
' limping a little. ever since.
It the. ac-
cident had been more. serious we
wouldn't have come off so lucky.”

Meeting Yesterday. _
The. Old Board of Officers and Directors
Ito-Elected. '
The New York, Bridgeport&Eastern
Railway Company, which was organ—
ized last year by the decision of Judge
Phelps, is declared not to be properly
organized and, therefore, without any
legal existence. The parties compos-
ing the old company, as is well knOwn,
have had an entirely new survey made,
and the engineers were running their
lines through Norwalk early last fail.
The work was under the supervision of
Engineer H. S. Scofleld of Bridgeport,
and has been thoroughly and well done.
The promoters organized anew, under
their old name and filed their articles of
association in the secretarylof state’s of-
fice on January 8th with the following
named persons as directors: Henry R.
Parrott, Bridgeport; A. L. Wiiiton,
Bridgeport; E. K. Lockwood, Norwalk;
C. B. Coolidge, Norwalk, George R.
Cowles, Norwalk; Thomas N. Brown,
New York; \Vm. Rotcli, Boston; I. D.
Mowry, Norwich; Geo. E. Spare, New
Haven; C. B. Adams,New Haven. Geo.
S. Forbusli, Brookline, Mass.
At the meeting Of the directors held
yesterday at Bridgeport, Henry R. Par-
rottof Bridgeport, was elected Presi-
deht; Geo. S. Forbush of Brookline,
Mass, vice-president; Geo. E. Spare.
of New Haven, treasurer, and Thomas
N. Brown of New York, secretary.
This organization, as stated in their
declaration, is~ for the purpose of con-
structing a road from New Haven to
New York, and is the line known here-
tofore as the “Old Parallel.”
‘ It now remains to be seen what new
obstacle the all—powerful Consolidated
will place in the way of this long-con-
testh' and valiantly-fought-ior enter-
prise, On the part of many of the. best
people of Norwalk and of Fairficld

EDITOR DAILY GAZETTE :-—Will you
kindly allow me a little space in your
youthful. wide. awake paper, recently
launched on the. community “full
grown,” to say a word on behalf of the.
tax payers of this town. In looking
over the reports of the Selectmen re.-
cently made at. the annual town meet—
ing, one. cannot help ‘being struck with
the rapiditv with which the expenses
of the town are increasing. and it is a
matter of surprise with what a quiet
indifference the. voters listen to the
readings, and it is equally surprising
that such reports should be accepted,
and placed on file without a word of
protest, or comment, whether the. re.-
ports were favorable or otherwise, from
anybody, and this has been the course
taken with like reports for years past,
and often a vote has been taken to pub-
lish the reports in pamphlet form,
(thus adding expense to expense) for
the convenience of the taxpayers, in
order that they might examine tliem'at
their leisure. But what has been ac-
complished by such a reference of the
reports. It matters not how unsatis-
factory they may have. been, or how
disappointing, who ever heard of any
body trying to apply a remedy, On
the contrary, do not. the reports after
‘being casually scanned over, soon find
their way into the waste. basket, and
that is the last that is heard about
town expenses, until another annual
meeting, when the farce is gone over
again. Nobody is: any wiser, and no
body is much better. but many are.
very much worse. Now is there no
remedy for these things, and must the
indebtedness of the town go on ever
increasing, until we are. compelled to
make an assignment for the. benefit of
our creditors? It seems to me. that
the trouble lies back Of the annual re-
ports—that the town officials having in '
charge bills presented, should have a
jealous care for the interests of the
town, and should not permit the pay-
ment of any bill if in their judgment
they consider it exorbitant. Some
people seem to think that. the town is a
proper subject for plunder, and that if
they make and present a bill to the
town for payment, it will be allowed,
no matter what the dimensions of the
bill may be. and I am inclined to think
that there are quite too many of this
opinion.
I think our town officials should look
closely at all bills presented ' before.
issuing an order for their payment. I
believe that by so doing alarge amount-
of money would be saved to the tax-
payers, and a stop put to the rapid iii-
creasc of the town’s indebtedness.

. (Special, to the Daily Gazette.)
New Orleans, Jan. :14.—~Promincnt
sporting men have beenpouring into
this city all last night, and this morn-
ing to witness the fight between Rob.
Fitzsimmons, the Australian charm
pioii middleweight, andJack Dempsey,
the America-11 champion. Both men
are now in this city. Betting is about
even, with odds‘slightly in favor of
Dempsey, although the. general good
appearance of Fitzsimmons, together
with his fall height and long reach.
make the result somewhat dOubtful.
and inspire his friends with confidence.
Both men are to be in the ring at 9 p.
m., and are to weigh in five minutes
before the fight, the weight of each
man not to be over 154 pounds. A
large amount of money has been wag‘
ered on the result and New Orleans
sports pin their faith and are putting
their money oii the antipodean-Fitz—
Simmons. It looked for a time unit
Gov. Nicliolls would stop the fight, but
it is now believed that no interference
will occur and that the fight will surely
take place. V
Both men are in the. pink of condi-
tion.
