" ‘ - ’ ‘The City Meeting.‘_ Last night’s gathering at ’the Town Hall to considerthelwater supply" ques- tion in geosrh and the‘lfconstruétionof a new storage reservoir in particular, was notable-in. that the hall was densely packedgwith an unusual number of our best’hnd more conservative type of citizenship. Large numbers of pro- perty holders and of elderly citizens, rarely seen in such an assemblage even in the day-time, were present to attest to the deep and, wide interest beginning to ,be' felt in the3 safer and more economical management of our local public afi'airs. , ' ' After the‘opening of the meeting and reading of. the call, Water Commis- sioner Coolidge made a verbal state- ment to the efi'ect'that the Commis- sioners had grave doubts as to the power of thermeetin'g. to legally, vote the large appropriation originally'con- templated,'and as recent rains had, in all probability obviated, for another year at least,- a water famine, and in further view of the monetary stringen- cy now over-spreading the’country, no recommendation for an appropriation would be made. He expressed the de- , site that atésome suitable time the sum 01,31,500 be" furnished the Commission- ’ers for the purpose of changing the present location of the highway bound- ing thencrth end of " the newly pur- chased reservoir property, and a fur-i ther and-smaller sum, sufficient to pay for sevemaCres desirable to acquire to perfect the site, ‘but for which the owner now asked an'exhorbitant price. This done, the Borough or City would possess a most valuable property for future storage needl.f -- ' "' , , The suggestion was made; and seem- ed to meet approval, that Mr. Maples be sent to Albany to secure the passage by the New York Legislature of a bill allowing us to condemn. and appraise all such land on] Our borders in that State as may be needed for'vany future ' reservoirlor reservoirs, as Was done by Stamford, at a very small cost. Many good suggestions were made, many good things and a few sharp things said, but throughout the best of good nature and good order pre- vailed. Nothing was done, and the ; vast assemblage broke up, each and every citizen seeming to feel “at peace with all the world and the rest of man- kind." ' ’ Anarchists the Foes of Labor. The anarchist is not a worker. He ' never seeks labor. He profits only by disorder ; and it is greatly to the credit of the Labor organizations of the country that they have fought shy of the Anarchists’ efforts to attach them- selves to the various Labor Unions. Any Trades Union that toleratesas’sofi' ciation with the Socialist or Anarchist-,5» not only would cast just reproach upon, itself, but take the shortest road to destroyalihop‘efnl signs 30f a return to aforetime lbusincss "industry and prosperity. I ‘ I 'It is-notable that in the various cities” of the Union where 'therelia've been: violent disturbances from ”those who assume to represent the working- peo- ple, as in Chicago,fthe idle, vicious and revolutionary Anarchists were always in the lead. American workmen are not revolutionists, and we. mean by Americrn workmen not only those who" 'are native born but those who are Americans by adoption and naturaliz- ation: American citizens understand that this. isthe land of libertyand law; they understand: also thatifthe work-' ingmen of the couiitry are its soverg. , eigns;.that they make and unmake its rulers ’;’that they. make and unmake its laws, aridthey never. practice violence or lawlessness ; but in our greatcities 4“ s W, we have the lawless idlers who have ers, and these people have sought by every possible means to infuse them? 'selves and. their pernicious ideas into the organized workmen of this coun- try. ,They-shouldfbe shunned by every» American workman as he would shun pestilence, for they can bring nothing but disgrace, sorrow and "multiplied ' want upon them .and their families. ' . The present financial distress of the country fella. harshly upon the indus- trial people. When ill times come upon the land, it is labor that first feels theblow and it is labor that pays the severest penalty; but _ American workmen are ldwnbiding and law-lov- ing, and it is one of the most hopeful signs of the times to see them resolute- ly assert their devotion to the laws which they have the absolute power to make or unmake at their will. have had and will continue to have sore trials, but the remedy is not in bread riots. No such violence will be necessary to give bread to, the honest workmen of this country. Lawful methods will surely relieve the present depression, and honest industry will again meet with honestre‘wards. Let the American workman ‘continue to spurn the Anarchist from his fellow- ship, and every good citizen resolutely hope for and work for.,the speedy re- turn of prosperous business. - —-...

A domestic in the employ of a family not a thousand miles from the Boston Store, met w1th an accident Wednesday afternoon, that she will probably not forget in many moons. Attention was first attracted to her perilous situation by frantic and piercing calls of “ Help l help l‘-I am drowning.” Two young men, John and Joe, ran to the res- cue, and found a woman with her hands and head sticking up out of an opening in the floor of an outbuilding. They caught hold of the woman’s hands and tried to drag her from her unpleas- ant. if not perilous predicament, but their efforts were futile. Finally the building was overturned a. ladder pro- cured and the woman, who by. the way tips the scales at over 200, was rescued from her unpleasant surroundings. She dodged into a wood-shed near by and a change of clothes were provided for her which she donned and was soon back at work. Her heav wei ht had . caused the floor to collapge. g . . ‘ The best answer to all fake publica-' A HUMLLEDQ The Pay-Train on the D.and N. . . _ Strikes. a Hungarian;- U Standing on the Track When Hit. Wednesday afternoon asthe pay train" was coming from Wilson Point, the en- gineer saw two Hungarians standin on the track near the hat factory of tto Barthol,at Whistlevllle. He blew several sharp blasts of the wh1stle,but the men, who were apparently intoxicated paid no heed to the warning. At the same time several of the, men in Barthol’s factory saw the men and approaching train and yelled totthem. to get out of the way, but they apparently did not hear or were too drunk to under- stand. , Just as the locomotive was up- on them one of the Huns' looked up and seeing his danger Jumped from the track, but the other was too late and was struck and hurled against Barthol’s factory. '- , The train was stopped and backed up to where the wounded man lay, and he was placed on a stretcher and taken aboard and removed to the baggage room at the South Norwalk depot. Drs. Bohannan and Burke were sum- moned, but the unfortunate man only lived about half an hour after his arriv- al at the station. He was identified by his brother-in-law, who was standing on the track talking with him when struck, as John Dorgo, a Hungarian. His left arm was broken and he had a had out On the right temple. His nose was badly bruised; and cut as. though in falling he. had struck upon his face. ‘ Dorgo. was 44yearsof age and was employed at Hoyt’s New Canaan nurs- ery for the last two'months; He left there on Saturday last to go to Penn- sylvania. dren in his native country, 'and his sis-‘ ter is employed at Mr. Hoyt’s.

Ellis. It is moulded after the style of entertainment made popular by the late Joseph Emmet—to whom Mr. Ellis is conceded“ to be the natural successor. Mr. Ellis sings quite a number’of new original compositions, which were re- ceived with great favor, and his and- iences are duly delighted, the settings are in perfect keeping, and the cast a very acceptable one.

City Meetinz. _ A large crowd of taxpayers assembled in the Town House,on Wednesday even- ing, 1_n response to the call for a city meeting-to take action on the followmg matters: ’ . ’ . 1. To hear any reports. recommendations or information that the Water‘Commissioners may offer to the meeting regardin the pres- ent water supply, the condltlon o the water works and the needs of the future. , . 2. To authorize , and empower- the Water Commissioners, if .deemed advisable, to build a suitable ' reservorr upon the site purchased: and to make the necessary appropriations to pay for the same. The meeting was called to order by Warden Sloan and Clerk Hubbell read the call. . . ' Water Commissioner Coolidge put a sort of a dampener on the meeting at the outset by saying that grave doubts had been expressed as to the legality of the call. .130 said that the commissioners were not present to ask for an approprig atlon but that they would like to make a statement. He said that in 1892, the Water Commissioners were em- powered to purchase the property known as the Buscoe place, and that an appropriation of $1,200 was made to be used ' The commissioners had made such pur- chase, but .there were seven acres of land ad101n1ng the same plot that 'it would be desirable for the borough to own, but that the present owner Wanted $1,000 for the same. The other land had been secured at an average cost of $25 per acre. He stated that there was a highway running across the tract that it would be either necessary to raise or change the course of if ever the tract was flooded. The present board of N. Y. highway commissioners were agree- able to a change in the course of the road. Thought the the cost of ,the change would be about $1,500. It might cost more later on if there should be a change in the board of highway com- missroners. He said that since the call for the meetin had been promulgated he had heard a l sorts of reasons given for the call, also that it had been stated that some one wanted a job, that there was a “nigger in the fence,” whatever that might mean, and that several com- munications had appeared in the GA.- znrm in reference to the matter. The sole reason for the call he added, was thatlat the time,there was not more than ten days supply of water in the reser- voirs,and the situation was so alarming he had visited the South Norwalk water commissioners to engage a supply of water in case of need. Since that time though, we had had-hard rains and the reservoirs were filled with water. The commissioners were present and ready to answer all questions. ' Joseph Matheis was in favor of pur- chasing the additional seven acres of land, and ordering a change'in" the ' course of the road mentioned. . Winfield S. Moody asked Mr. Cool- idge if he knew that the reservoirs were full, and if the property above the old Grupe reservoir had been viewed as a suitable place for a dam site. Was himself of the opinion that it could be utilized at one-third less cost than. the other site. _ Mr. Coolidge replied that the special committee appointed for the purpose, had examined the site and decided that it would be impracticable and so re- ported. Said that it had been suggest- ed that the present Grupe dam be raised four feet. This could be done it had been estimated at a cost of $15,- 000 ; to rise it eight feet would cost $30,000, and would necessitate the tak' ing of more land. Isaac Selleck said that he had visited the Grape reservoir and believed that there would be a'great saving of water if the overflow was stopped and he could not understand why it had ever been left as it Was four feet below top of the dam. , . , Moody, speaking of the laying of a 16 inch pipe from the Grupe in place of the present 12 inch pipe, said that if the change was made there would be liable-to be trouble with mill owners in reference to water rights. r E.J. Hill, remarkedthat as it seemed to be the impression that no business could be legally transacted at the meet! ing, moved an adjournment, B.\W. Maples at this-time arose and wished to be heard; Mr.A.tH. Byington also asked that the matter be ventilated. ’ It was claimed that the motion to ad- journ was in order and the question was called for. Mr. Maples thereupon made the tell- ing point that as there had been no mo- tion before the meeting previous to the motion to adjourn, the latter motion was debateable. Mr. Maples, when quiet had been re- stored, said that the present 12-inch pipe between the reservoirs did not bring the water down as fast as needed. Had seen the agreement made with the Union M’f’g. 00., which provided that nothing. larger than a 12-inch pipe should be used. Thought that before we provided foran additional supply of water by buildlng a new dam, some means ought to be provided for getting Believed 1n paying for all improvements in the Borough as soon as completed, but when it came to a water supply thought it policy to get in debt, if necessary, in .order to secure it. ' Rnsonvnn, That the Court of‘ Bar- gesses‘ be, and they are hereby request- ed, to call a special Borough (or City) meeting to consider and act upon a mo ion to empower the Water Commis- sioners to purchase by agreement with the owners, or to acquire by condem- nation . proceedings, all water rights on the Silver Mine river, by whomso- ever owned, so that the Borough (or City) shall be the sole owner of such water rights; and also to appropriate an amount of money sufficient for the purchase or acquirement of such water rightsi and also to provide means for obtaln g the money so appropriated.

(This does not include bath room, closets, etc., for which there is an additional charge ofl$3 each.) Mr. Bylngton was of the opinion that ' it would be advisable before anything else was done that the matter of water pr1v11eges, land damages be settled for once and for all time, and was in favor of any reasonable 'oxpenditure of money to thatend, and suggesting that Mr. Maples be sent to Albany to secure the passage of an act for a condemna- tion of the land wanted in Lewisboro.

To buildings, $100,000 would cover the injury done; ves: sels wrecked, $150,000; damage to rail- roads leading out of ‘ the city, 8100.000; damage to rice ’crop, $200,000. Damage to crops will probably amount to $1,000,000 or more, as the cotton crop over a wide terri- tory has suffered severely, and in many turpentine districts at least one-fourth of the trees have been destroyed. .
