PRICE ONE CENT UUUNGIL MEETING. An Appropriation of SL500 Made for Overflow Sewer on Spring Street. , The Tramway Co. Wants an Extension of Time for Payment of Their Assessment on South Main Street Im- provements. An adjourned meeting of the South Nerwalk city council was held last evening; ' Major Bohannan presided during the first, part of the evening but was call- ' ed away to prescribe for a patient, and the president of the board Councilman Hatch occupied the chair. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks, accord- ing to the new layout of Monroe street were ordered to be laid on or before October 7th. It was reported that the damages in the new layout of South Main street, had with but two exceptions been satis- factorily'adjusted with the property Owners. The two exceptions were Mrs. E. F. Guyer and Mrs. Frank God- son, they having refused to accept the sums awarded them. Health officer Kendall reported the death rate for July, in town, as being proportionately lower than any other town in the state of a like population. A petition for an electric light. on Courtland place was referred to oom- mittee on lights: Bills to the amount of $750 were order ed paid. -: The sum of $550 was appropriated for the city electric light plant, a portion ‘ of the same to be used: in the recon- struction of the fire alarm system. Messrs. Arthur Waldron and Wil- liam H. Hoyt petitioned for permission to erect a shed for their teams near the steambort wharf. Referred to fire V committee. The water commissioners reported a balance of 8646 on hand. No action was taken on the communi- cation from Mrs. Clara Swift asking for payment from the city by reason of the loss of trees éut down from in front of her premises. An appropriation of $1,500 for the construction of an overflow sewer on Spring and Mechanic streets was made. There was an informal discussion of a communication from the Tramway company, in which it appeared. that the Tramway company is desirous of having the city assume the entire cost of the paving and improvements on South Main street, or in other words advance the company’s share in the cost of the same and take the company’s note for such payment. The company’s share in the costs of the improvements already made amounts to about $2,000. The further contemplated improvements will add nearly $4, 000 to the charge against the company.

The Embla Scuttled Off Ship- pan Point. Two of the Crew in Hospital From Burns. The steam yacht Embla, owned by John T. Williams of New York, who has his summer residence in Stamford, lies in twelve feet of water off the west side of Shippan Point, as lahe result of its being scuttled to extinguish a fire, and two of the crew are at the Stamford hospital in a ' most serious condition from burns. ' The fire broke out about 2:30 in the galley of the vessel. Captain F. Tor- rey was on the bridge at the time and his first knowledge of it was when he saw the flames coming out of the com‘ paniouway. With his crew he at once set out to extinguish the fire, but it was soon apparent that he could not check the flames with the means at his command and at once determined to scuttle the craft, which he did by opening a pipe in the engine room for that purpose and also cutting a hole in the starboard side with an axe. The yacht sank immediately and the fire was extinguished. When the fire broke out Mate A. C. W'eeks and cooks Henry Storey and Fred Morrison were below. Morrison rushed frantically out‘and jumped overboardand swam.to a nearby vessel. He was seriously. Storey and they were both, taken to the Stamford hospital.

Apart from losing all his effects, in- cluding a considerable sum of money, Captain Torrey also lost a letter of “Bob” in the lighthouse service, and this loss he Captain Torrey states the fire was confined to the for- ward part of the yacht, and little dam- age by fire was done to the after part. A steam launch nearby kept the Em~ bla’s stern to the wind, and thus pre- commendation from Captain Evans, whom he was under feels most keenly. vented the spread of the flames. Some fittings were saved, but it was only a comparatively .small quantity. The damage cannot be estimated until the yacht is raised, but it is believed to be in the neighborhood of $25,000. .The origin of the fire is a mystery and Captain Terrey declined to state what in his opinion caused it. Members of the crew were less reticent, however, and they give as the cause of the fire an explosion of gasoline, which was being used in cleaning the vessel. Three explosions were heard ashore, the first one being loud and sounding like a shot from a gun. The Embla is a steel yacht 165 feet long and was one of the finest in these waters and estimated to be valued at $100,000. It was built by Seabury, of New York, in 1895 for John H. Hannan but was purchased from him two Etforts will undoubtedly be made to raise, the yaCht with little delay. ~‘o- op—vw «——-—»— FIRST Conn. VOLS. years ago by Mr: Williams. They Return Home From Their Southern Camp. The First Connecticut Volunteers who have been in camp at Dunn Loring, passed through South Norwalk at about 6 o’clock on route to Niantic. There were three train loads of them. The first containing the horses, pris- oners and guards and the musicians, was side-tracked at the station for awhile, which gave Danbury members of the regiment an opportunity to shake hands with several Norwalk acquaintances. One of the number “Tom” Quinn by name remarked that the air just then was quite chilly, and it was true. -—Live Merehhnts Kieep their names before the Public.

Was Driving Ashore on Tavern Island Rocks in the Gale. Twenty Feet More and She Would'HaveV Been a Wreck. When yesterday afternoon’s cyclone struck Norwalk, the handsome white knockabout yacht Ripple owned by Dr: Meeker, of Stamford, was anchored off Bell Island where the-,docto r is enjoy- ing his vacation. The'terrific wind caught the yacht and whirled her from her mooring, and carried her at lightning speed towards Tavern Island rocks. As the boat came out from behind the old Wilson Point dock which juts out into the sound, Howard Mossman,’ Charles Swartz and Homer Byington, who were in bathing at the Knob, dis- covered her. The St. Lawrence skilf Ruth was resting upon the beach, having been pulled up on the sand out of danger from the surf, and the young men quickly launched her and started in the storm after the apparantly lost yacht. - It was a hard pull, the little boat be- ing driven by the gale some distance out of its course, but the young men. succeeded at last in reaching the feet from Tavern Island rocks. It was the work of a moment to raise the dragging anchor, pull up the peak of the sail and guide the boat before the gale between Tavern and Little Tavern Island. Once outside the dangerous roe‘ks the jib and mainsail were hoisted add” the boat headed towards Bell Island.- i. Dr. Meeker had witnessed the break- ing away of his yacht, and” had given her up for lost, fully believing that she had foundered on Taven Island rocks. The terrific gale shut her Out from. view shortly after she left her moorings and he was more than surprised and pleased to see her coming back safe and sound and with all sail set. The doctor was profuse in his thanks and wanted to reward the rescure-rs but this was politely declined, and the boys reentered their skiff and rowed bick to the Knob none the worse for their expe1-ience.- ' 46...

BARS GOLLIDE. A BedlCar Struck by a White Car on Wall Street. Tne Passengers on Both Oars Escape Injury. _ There was a collision between 'two electric cars on Wall street last night at about 10.30 o’clock. Street Railway car, No. 9, under charge of Motor‘man Dorney and Con- ductor Blake, swung around the corner of Wall and Main streets en route to Winnipauk. At this juncture Tramway car N o. 24, came along bound for Broad River. It Was in charge of Conductor Dunn and Motorman Martin. 1 The white car struck the red car about three feet from the rear of the car. The latter was under pretty good headway at the time. , The force of the compact threw the red car from the track and it made straight for the large plate glass windows of the Boston Store and was only stopped from going through them by the wheels coming in contact with the curb. The front of the car was within but a few inches of the windows. The granite support under the same was wrecked by the"‘bumper” of the car coming in contact with. it. The white line car was partially . traffic resumed. thrownfrom the track, and suffered the wrecking of a‘section of the run-. Ding-board, head-light,.etc. There were seven passengers on the red car and four on the white all of whom aside from being very much frightened escaped injury. The wreck was soon cleared and The accident is said to have been wholly the fault 9f the motorman on the Tramway car. “‘ 1 Vvvr Saunder-lardine. William M.
