I Independent in all things: initial 111 nothing.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper in Norwalk.
and furnishesthe lowest advertlslnl
rates- '
The Water Supply.
' The condition of Norwalk’s water sup-
ply, as related in another column,
should "at once calla halt in the daily
waste of'water going on about town.
That we 'are again threatened with a
water famine unless the consumers as-
sistthe water commissioners in prevent-
ing waste, there is no doubt, and ,it
is hoped that the poople will do all in
their power to prevent a recurrence of
the state of affairs that existed a year
ago, when we were obliged to call upon
South Norwalk for assistance.
As at present arranged 'it is impossi-
ble to supply the Step Hill reservoir
with water as fast as it is drawn out,
and unless a new 16 inch supply pipe is
laidfrom the Grupe reservoir to the
distributing reservoir the present diffi-
culty will always confront us. There
are two 12-inch mains supplying the B0-
rough with water from this reservoir
while only one 12 inch main supplies
the reservoir, therefore, it can readily
be Seen. that the. quantity removed is
double that supplied. .
The CommissiOners are holding the
water now in the reservoir for “fear
that a fire may break out, in which
event there wouldbe a sufiicient sup-
ply, but if the gates were again opened
the water would be drawn ofi‘ within a
day or two and we would be without
protection. . ~
While it is inconvenient to be depriv-
ed of Water, especially at this time of
the year, yet we hope that those con-
sumers who live in the higher portion
of the town will bear with the-commis-
sioners until the distributing reservoir
has been sufficiently refilled to warrant
the opening of the gates again.
summer Fire Losses.
After a few weeks of the heated term,
buildings burn readily and fiercely.
The causes of fires-in business build-.
‘ ings are of personal concern to a much
smaller number of persons than those
affecting the dwelling. A paper by
Mr. C. John Hexamer, in the Journal
of the Franklin Institute, Philadel-
phia, examines statistically the causes
of fires in dwellings. .So far as these
are structural, they are beyond the'
control of the occupant. The foremost
place, with 21 per cent. of all fires at
its credit, is held by defective fines.
Since this is voluntary on the part of
the builder it could easily be corrected.
If all resulting loss were made a legal
charge against the land taking prece-
dence of mortgage and every other
claim, one-fifth of the losses by fire in
dwellings would be brought to an end.
The second place on the list of fire
causes is held by lamp and stove explo—
sions and other lamp “ accidents,” with
15 per cent. Of this amount, 12 per
cent, four-fifths, are explosions attri-
butable to improperly‘ refined oils.
Consumers cannot be expected to test
the oils they buy for domestic use;
sellers can. The sale of such oils would
instantly cease if the seller of an ex-
plosive oil were made responsible for
fire losses caused by it. If the chain
of responsibility were continued back
to the refiner, explosive 0118 would go
out of existence. Thus another one-
eighth of fires in dwellings would come
to an end. .
Matches, with 9 per cent of all domes-
tic fires at their credit, and heating ap-
paratus and gas jets with another nine
per cent, are bracketed next in order.
The first could be reduced to a mini-
' mum if matches were sold only in pack:
ages made of tin. This regulation is
also within the province of the legisla-
ture. Fires from gas jets are rarely
caused save by swinging jets. or by jets
at the {Window frames where curtains
swing against the flame. Most fires
from heating apparatus are caused by
defective construction. .There is no
reason why the land should nOt be
charged With both of these last volun-
tary sOnrces of fire loss. Very few are
the cases where. grossly improper man-
agement of the heating apparatus ex-
ists to charge the occupant with any
share in the responsibility. - Assuming
that two in nine of the present match
and gas casualties would still‘voccur—
. anexcessive allowance—it folloWS that
a further reduction of 14 per cent, or
one seventh, in the total of dwelling.
fires could still be effected.
Thus ithas appeared that a few simple
regulations, all of them reasonable and
proper in themselves, all of them di-
rected only against voluntary and grat-
uitous sources of peril created in each
case for the Sake of gain alone, are op.
erative to put an end to 47 per cent, or
nearly one-half of all the fires that now
take place in dWellings and tenements,
with their shocking and - irreparable
loss of human life. None of these reg-
holding a'man responsible for the natu-
ral consequences of his own voluntary
' acts.

New'Year’s Oyster Set.
From present indications the oyster
set along the Connecticut shore this
year will be one of the largest in many
years. For the past few‘days the eve—
termen have been planting so rapidly
that the supply of shells is almost ex-
hausted and in many cases hundreds of
bushels of white stone have been plant-
ed. Investigation shows that those in
shallow water are very heavy. One
" prominent oysterman found 150 set on
a - single shell and the investigation
floved' that many other shells were as
heavily burdened. -
About 700,000 bushels of shells and
stones have been planted thus far b
the oystermen in this Vicinity and mac
of the deep water planting is yet to be
done. The planters are now sending
south for more shells and are unable to
get whatthey want. That the set is so
eavy is accounted for in the minds of
the oystermen .by the fact that the
water has been particularly good this
year, the spring floods not being very
heavy and . ’domg but little damage
along the coast. .. .

On Monday an inspection of the dif-

road was down to the second distribut-
ing pipe, the Grape reservoir five feet
down and the ugper reservoir down fif:
teen inches, an that altogether there
remained but fifty days’ supply of
water. on hand. The Commissioners at
once ordered the pipes from the dis-
tributing reservoir closed and the sup-
ply turned on direct from the Grape
reservoir. This change of supply left
consumers livrng in the higher portions
of the town without water from 8 a. in.
until 9 p. m. .. ~
. _At the distributing reservoir on Step
Hill there are two 12-inch pipes which
distribute the water to the Borough
and only one 12-inch pipe to supply the
reservoir, .and for several days the

“Modest Jim.” ,
Bashful borough clerk Hubbell', Mon-
day inadvertently did something that
brings a crimson flush to his face every.
time he thinks of it. He was called out
of the office to wait on a patient; ' Dur-
ing his absence a lady called and not
finding Mr. Hubbell in sat down on
one of. the Turkish divans and resting
her dainty feet on the rich Moquet car-
pet awaited his coming. Mr. Hub-
b_el ’s patient kept him until the noon-
tide meal hour, and on his returning,
instead of going into his office, he hur-
riedly locked the door, and started for
home where he knew there was a roast
leg ef lamb _and a dish of peas awaiting
to tickle his palate and satisfy an in-
ward craving for food. The lady heard
the key turn-in the lock and rushed to
the door, but too late, the owner of the
key was out of hearing. She finally”
managed to attract the attention of our
good-looking Warden,. who felt all
through his pockets in a vain search for
a key to liberate the prisoner. He sug-
gested that she wait until Mr. Hubbell’s
return, but she didn’t, for soon: after
the attorney of the Tramway company,
who’ has an office on the same floor,
had occasion to return and unlocking
the door liberated the. lady, but not be-
fore he had expressed his surprise with
the question, “How under the name of
heaven did you get in here ?”
The question was not answered.

‘ THE KIND THAT CUBES.” ‘
Meeker Had the'Will.
Proceedings which were instituted
by Attorney E. Livington Wells, Jr.,
in the Norwalk Probate court, Satur-
day, are connected with a rather inter-
esting and unusual case, says the Bridge-
port Farmer. . . .
Lydia, widow of John Coley, died in
Wilton outhe 30th of May last, leaving
quite a good sized estate. . As she was at
her death a woman of somewhat ad-
vanced years it was naturally assumed
that in order to insure such a disposi-
tion of her property as she would Wish
she had taken the precaution to exe-
cute a will. After her death, however,
althou h a vigorous search was made
no wi could be found and on June 3
Mr. and Mrs. Moses Sherwood of
Greens Farms, the latter the niece of
the deceased made application to the
Norwalk Probate court for the appoint- '
ment of an administrator. .There was
no opposition and on J une 16_ the court
issued letters of administration to J o-.
siah Kellogg, of Norwalk. _
. Last Friday, Charles Meeker, who is
in the employ of C. O..Jellifi‘e, a South-
port storekeeper, came to Lawyer Wells
and after telling the latter about the
late Mrs. Coley, and and the facts re-
lating to the granting of administra-
tion upon the latter’s estate, handed-
the lawyer a document which Mr. Wells
saw at once was the missmg Will. By
the will Meeker, who is a_nephew of
the husband of the testatrix, was left
the entire estate and named_ as sole
executor. To Mr. Wells’ inquiry as to
why he had not as required by law filed '
the will for probate within 30 days of
the decease of- the testatrix Meeker re-
lied that he had onlv just heard of
Mrs. Coley’s’dcath. he Will was exe-
cuted September 16, 1891, and Meeker
said that it'had ever since been in his
_ possession.
By Meeker’s_ request Wells took
char 8 of the will and on Saturday en-
'tere it for probate in the N orwalk
Probate court and asked for revocation
of the letters of administration granted
June 16.. The hearing upon the appli-
cation Will be held on Thursday, August
3, at Norwalk. ' -- .. . . -’
The on] other heirs at law are Mrs.
Mariette ohnson, of Weston, a sister
of the deceased, and Mrs. Moses Sher-
wood, the niece before mentioned. As
both of these are more closely related
to the testat‘rix- than Meeker a contest
ma ensue. Meeker professes to see
un ue haste on the part of Mr. and
Mrs. Sherwood in _so soon after Mrs.

THE STRIFE‘ IN KANSAS.
The Coal Companies Preparing to Force
a Crisis This Week. -
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 25.-—.Therc is no,
longer dOubt that the Central Coal and
Coke company andthe Kansas and Texas
Coal company intend to bring about a
crisis in the strike in their coal mines in
southeastern Kansas in the next few days.
The Central Coal and Coke company has
nearly finished the building of sto’ckades
around its mines at Weir City and Scam-
mon, and has built houses {or the work-
men within the walls, and this morning
President R. H. Keith tOld a reporter that
the mines at both places would be oper-
ated before the end of the Week.
“We are not going to put men' into our
mines to- be shot dow like qattle.” he
said. -~ “There is no use laying to disguise
facts. We have no reaSOn to believe that
they will be protected by the state. Our
experience with the state and county offi-
cars has been such that we can expect but
little from them; We must do something.
It would be folly and cruelty on our part
to put workingmen in those mines with
no protection. When the miners go inside
the stockades they will be prepared to de-
fend themselves against attack.”
The Kansa: and Texas company is pre
paring for work, too.

not all, of his fortune in bad business in‘

himself in favor of the proposal to raise a.
fund, said he regretted that the subscrip-

with his brother to the United States, and
as a matter of fact he was poorer than the

considered in the matter, and said that he
intended to write to friends in the United

pressed the hope that the organizers of the
fund wOuld see to it that he was given a

‘ JUDGE {ONG'S PENSION.‘ ' '
Examination of thiomclal Records D00!
Not Improve Matters for the Judge.
- WASHINGTON, July 25.—The.. following
additional statement has been issued from
thepension office with reference to the sus-
pension of Judge Long’s pension: » - .
“A further examination of the papers in
the ciao of _, Judge é‘Doan Long, who on'
May 6, 1889, died his’; pension rotated and
$50 a month 'granted from June 4, 1878, and.
$72 a. month from June 1?, 1878, does not
improve matters for the judge. The ex-
amination shows that the case was taken
up without legal application or'declaration
of any kind“ In other words it was rail-
roaded through and something like 86,000
paid to the judge in back pension. '
. “The papers also show that despite the
fact that theofiice medical board, which
examined Judge Long on March 21, 1884,
only found him entitled to $30 per month,
which defeated any right of his to an in-
crease, for he was then in receipt of 830 De! '
month pension. In August, 1884. his pen-
sion was arbitrarily increased by Commis-
sionerDudley to 850 per month.
“It should be stated, however, in jus-
tice to Mr. Tanner, that before be granted
Judge Long his first rerating he obtained
from chief of the law division, Mr. Bailey,
8. legal opinion, prepared by Captain
Lyon, which sought to justify the contem-
plated 'rerating by the commissibner. It
is needless to say that this opinion does .-
not properly state thelaw in the case, as
any one conversant with pension affairs
will attest.” ’ , '
