The Court Of Burgesses claim that the Water Commissioners have swallOwed up the increase ; the Water Commis- sioners admit that they have spent something over $9,000, but resent the charge that they are respons1ble for all the increase. The matter would seem to be a difficult one to settle so as to do justice to all parties. The business year of the Water Commissioners runs from October tO October, while the Borough fiscal year runs from November 15th to November 15th. The truth is that the Water Commissioners admit in their annual report that they have spent over $34, 000 in construction during the year covered by their report. What has been spent on our water works is in the nature of an investment which has heretofore proved to be profitable, un- progressively as it has been managed, and as our town increases in population the water rents will increase without much cost for extending the plant. The money of tax-payers is never spent for a better purpose than in a plentiful sup- ply of good water. The fathers of our water system did not foresee the de- mands which would be made on the supply, and our storage facilities have of late proved inadequate. ~Had our first commissioners planned to supply a population of 50,000 they would not have overshot the mark. Any future improvement that our present board make should be based on the idea of supplying 75,000 people. This sugges- tion may shock some Of our tax-payers who believe in living from hand to mouth, but if we wish to attract manu- facturing enterprises here we have got to make as good a showing as South Norwalk which, during an almost un- precedented dry season,had water to use and water to sell. All the money that has been spent by the ’Water Commis~ sioners has been placed in a good place, and in due season will prove to be ad— vantageous and profitable. ~-———44.>.~A.. 4 . _ A Successful Operation. Dr. H. E. Bates, the veterinary sur- geon, performed an operation on one of Dann’s horses last week, the like of which has probably never been seen in Norwalk. The horse in some way or other bruised one of his forward feet and the injury was" so severe that the poor animal could not use that useful portion of his propelling powers. Last Monday the Doctor was called and af- ter an examination had been made, de-' cided that the sole of the foot would have to be taken out. This was no easy operation, but after the Doctor had rigged some sort of contrivance of his own manufacture by which the horse’s leg was held in position, it was but the work of a few minutes to do the job. First the frog of the foot was cut away and removed and then the sole was reached. This was out around and loosened, and then with the help of a pair of pinchers was pulled out with a sudden jerk. The shell of the hoof was packed was oakum and the horse has since been doing niOely and the lame- ness has disappeared. After the hoof has heeled a little more, a skeleton sole and frog will be placed inSide the shell to protect the bone from .becoming bruised. Rev. Dr. Hall Shot At. As Rev. Dr. John Hall, pastor of'the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, was passing from the church to the pas- torate adjoining, after the morning ser- vice yesterday, John G. Bath, 3. Ger- man, forty-five years of age, from the opposite side of the avenue fired three shots in quick succession at him as he was ascending the steps. The first shot struck the stone stoop Mhe doctor’s house, the second perforated one of the glass panels of the front door and the third flattened itself against the side of the house. A member of Dr. Hall’s Church and the sexton jumped upon him and held him until the arrival of an Officer. He was ‘locked up. .The prisoner is evidently not in his right mind. He muttered something about a conspiracy which he imagined crusted againsthim. Two papers found on his person shoWed the bias of his Imagination. One document was in manuscript and the other was printed. The document states that Dr. Potter, Dr. Hall and Judge Hilton were the chief conspirators and that Mrs. A. T. Stewart was a good friend Of the pris- oner. The prisoner stated after his ar- rest that Dr. Hall was chief among hose conspiring to do him harm. TERSE TALES OF THE TOWN. Binghampton, N.

Evidence Concerning the Treat- ment of Policy Holders of the Connecticut Indemnity Association. NORWALK, CONN., Nov. 17th, 1891. The Connecticut Indemnity Ascocia- tion, Waterbury, C'omz. GENTLEMEN :—Your a cut, G. A. Franke, having just han ed me a New York draft for $368.57, I wish to publicly thank you for your promptness and square dealing. I am satisfied from my experience with you that since I was Insured for five thousand dollars, With weekly accident benefits of twenty dollars in 1889, that your company al- ways will act for the best interests of Its policy holders. _Your ready payment of my claim for eighteen weeks and three days con- firms my good opinion of you. Wishing you the success that you so well deserve, I remain ‘ _ Very truly yours, ( Signed) No. W. BANKS. NEW HAVEN, CONN., Dec. 6th, 1890. . GENTLEMEN :—Let in e thank you most sincerely for your promptness in pay- ing me my claim of $1,000 on the policy Issued to my late husband,Isaac Watts. I shall always bless the day that he in- sured his life in your company. You have done me a great favor by paying the claim before it was due. My hus- band had only paid in $97.76, and I have received such great benefit. . . ours very gratefully, (Signed) ' SARAH A. WATTS. PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Jan. 24, 1891. The Connecticut Indemnity Association: Let me thank you for your prompt and courteous treatment. Mr. W. A. Armstrong formerly of Norwicli,Conn., was insured in your company more than six years ago, and the entire cost to him, at the age of 58, to carry $1,000 insurance, providing $5 per week in case of disability, was only $101.75, or $16.40 per year. Deducting the bene- fits paid him during his life, the net cost of his $1,000 insurance was only $11.75. This money will prove a great help to me. Had be invested the same money in the savings bank, he would have realized nothing during his disa- bility. and would have left me only $113.16, instead of the $1,000 at death. Old line companies would have paid but $303 insurance for the money paid to your company by my husband. ( Signed) ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG. DANBURY,CONN., J 11116 16, 1891. I thank you most sincerely for your very prompt payment of' the insurance money due under policy 921,0n my late husband, J. Beardsley. He had been Insured in your company since 1884, and had always found you generous and reliable in your dealings with him as a policy-holder. My thanks are es- pecially due your company, because, although Mr. Beardsley, while tempo- rarily deranged, committed suicide, still youinno respect questioned the validity of my claim. The payment was not due me by the- terms of the policy till August 27th. You have paid me seventy days in advance. ’ MRS EMILY BEARDSLEY. WATERBURY, CONN., July 22, 1891. Edward A. W'r’ight, Secretary of the Connecticut Indemnity Association, lVaterbm'y, Conn. DEAR SIR : I hardly know how to ex- press my thanks to your company for the (great kindness shown me.

He died of typhoid- pneumonia, July 19, and today, .July 22; your general agent, Mr. Hastings, handed me your check for the full amount of my claim. He made out all papers for me,.and kindly brought me your check, thereby saving me much trouble and annoyance. ’I feel that this promptness and attention on your part should not be overlooked by me ; therefore I shall be glad to do .any- thing in my power to let my friends and others know how you do busmess. I think the benefit of your insurance, as shown in my case, should lead many others to insure with you. Yours was the only company in which my husband was insured. Thanking you With all my heart for what you have done for me, I remain Yours very respectfull , BRIDGET oGUO. LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y., July 28, ’91. E. A.
