ll DEFECTIVE DAM.
_-_——-
Millions of Gallons of Water Spurt-
ing from Holes in the Reser-
voir Dam.
The Water Wasted {out not all by
Consumers.
In company with Burgess Buxton,
on Sunday, a GAZETTE scribe fol-
lowed the line, of the Norwalk River
and Silver Mine branch up to the
Grupe or lower reservoir. At the
Union Co.’s pond at 10:30 a. m., it was
found to be about two-thirds full, 9.
large body of water being reservoired
in its pond and the stream as far back
as the Riverside cemetery. On our
return, four hours later, this pond was
full and water at the top of the dam-
At the Davis pond at Broad River,
the water was to within four feet of the
top of the dam, and a slow stream was
easily seen to be moving down into it,
up as far as Guthrie’s at Silver Mine.
From Guthrie’s,the several ponds were
about half filled, the water having
been drawn Ofi‘ on Saturday by the run-
nings of the various mills up to the
Daniel’s place, where our new iron six—
teen inch main terminates. All along
the route, every little spring, rivulet
and brook that Ordinarily helps to fill
this branch of the Norwalk river, was
totally dry, so that not a gallon of wa-
ter fed the stream from Davis’ pond
to Grupe’s. Notwithstanding this there
was water enough coursing down the
river bed to probably fill a four inch
pipe. Where did this water come from
was the one important query ? On ar-
rival at the Grupe reservoir, the ex-
planation was instantly furnished, for
while the body of water in the reser-
voir was but about seven feet above the
mouth Of the sixteen-inch pipe sending
it to the Borough, there were some
half dozen leaks at the base of the stone
dam, which were Spurting out water
enough into the old river bed, to sup-
ply a hundred families. This showed
what it was that was sending a current
down to the Union Co.’s pond, and
where the vast quantity of water stored
by the Borough had gone to. Nor was
this all. Last Friday Burgess Buxton
was up to the Lewisborough reservoir.
That then held about two to three day’s
supply,havingbeen drawn upon for the
first time since it was built, ten years
ago, to help to fill the Grupe reservoir.
At that time there was not any more
water running into this upper reservoir,
Burgess Buxton says, than would fill a
two-inch pipe. That same Friday
night there were copious showers all
about that section of Westchester
County, where our upper storage reser-
into it was greatly increased, and Sun-
day a stream was running into it
fully large enough to fill a four inch
pipe, as we were assured by Mr. Grupe,
who had just returned from there when
we reached his house. He had found
Sunday morning that a large supply
Of‘water was running into his reservoir
from the upper one, but that it was all
being wasted by running out through
cracks in the dam, above the seven foot
level, which he stated to be far larger
and worse than the ones at the bottom
of the dam, which are constantly run-
ning. So be promptly sped up the
four miles to the upper reservoir and
shut down the gate,as it was worse than
a crime to let it thus waste. He shut
the gate down so_ that not quite as
large a quantity should run doivn into
his reservoir as was running into the
upper one. So here is a plain and sim-
ple explanation of our threatened wa-
ter famine, and of where our vast stor-
age of water has disappeared to.
Simply the Borough was outrageous-
ly swindled by the contractors, who put
up the stone dam at Grupe’s. It was
not properly grouted and laid solid in
cement, as the contract required. It
will be remembered that the engineer
employed by the Borough to superin-
tend that work, compelled them to take
up some $2000 worth Of their work,
thus defectively laid, but this did not
begin to get at the depth of their de-
fective work, for the dam has always
leaked, and now not even so bad as
formerly, but this is an exceptionally
dry time,and as the small feeders to our
reservoir are all dry, the heavy loss is
made, for the first time, alarmingly
manifest. Another singular fact is also
developed by this large and constant
leakage. The parties who were paid
by the Borough for loss of water in
their ponds, between Grupe’s and the
Davis mills, have been supplied with
vastly more water than they otherwise
could have had. But for this storage
leakage, not a water wheel could have
been turned during all this un-
precedentedly dry spell; whereas. these
little mills have been able to run some
portion of every day, their ponds be-
coming filled again during nigl. ts and
Sundays.
Mr. Griipe made the careful estimate
that there was a two weeks’ supply in
the seven foot storage in his reservoir
Sunday, provided there should be no
rain and the same plan , adopted of
shutting off nights be continued. Then
he estimates that, with the fourteen
inches already in the upper reservoir,
and a continuance of the present
amount of water running into it, an-
other week’s supply could be squeezed
from that source, making a total of
three weeks’ supply, in event of no fires
WEEKLY. - NORWALK .- GAZETTE»
or other extra drains upon the two res-
ervoirs, and this in spite of the present
heavy leakage at the bottom of his
dam. '
What the results of Sunday night’s
heavy rain will be, can only be deter-
mined after the lapse of time, but it is
certainly safe to predict that at least
another week’s supply has been added
by last night’s showers. SO that, even
if the terrible drought be not now
broken, and the fall rains still four
weeks off, we need not greatly suffer
for water for a month more to come.
But the one alarming fact remains,
the main or Grupe reservoir dam is so
defective that it w'lll‘noz‘. hold the water
that runs into it seven - feet above the
supply pipe and fully at four inch pipe’s
supply is constantly Spurting from the
base of the dam.
These are the grave and absolute
facts of our situation : The borough
has storage and stream resources of
pure, good water, probably four times
greater than South Norwalk, yet South
N'orwalk, with ten times our consumpt-
ion Of water for steam engines, manu-
facturing and mechanical purposes, has
had an unrestricted supply during all
the present drought, severe as it has
been. \Vhy ? Simply because the
borough water has been permitted to
waste in unlimited quantity out of the
Grupe reservoir dam. All these weeks
of dry weather have passed by. and no
effort has been made to stop this leak-
age in the only way possible, by re-
pairing the defective dam. Had no
water been permitted to run to waste
by its perculation through the granite
walls of the Grape reservoir dam, the
Lorough would have had, all through.
the dry weather, water abundantly
sufficient for the borough and city, and
indeed, all Norwalk. This condition
of things must have been well known
to our board of Water Commissioners.
To think otherwise, would be to con-
vict them of incapacity or a censurable
neglect of their plainest duty. The
question then arises, Why has no effort
or move towards such imperatively
needed repair been attempted ?
We are confronted by a most serious
“condition,” not a “theory,” and why
the dry weather and the dried-up
stream period was not seized upon to
inaugurate the work of repairing this
Grupe reservoir, is a question for the
Water Commissioners to answer. That
a public meeting should be called with-
out another day’s delay, to vote that
this imperative work be commenced
forthwith, would seem to be the dictate
of the plainest and commonest common
sense.
WATER NOTES.
Water Commissioner Prowitt drove
to the Lewisborough reservoir Sun-
day, and on learning the condition of
things there, on his return home, con-
l'siderately ordered the water turned on
here, so that the electric light boilers
could be fed. and the motors attached
to the organs in the borough churches
could be run. As the rain fall was so
heavy during the night, there was no
loss of water in the reservoirs resulting
therefrom.
Owing to an error made in shutting
off the feed pipe furnishing the boilers
of the electric light station, Saturday
night, the engines had to be stopped
and the lights thus permitted to go out.
They are working like beavers at the
station to have everything in complete
order and equal to any emergency.
The mill ponds from and including
the Union Co.’s up to Daniel’s, were
all full Monday morning.
The rain has started many of the
little brooks that feed into our lower
reservoir, but no matter how much
water runs into that reservoir unless it
is continuous, it will all run through
the cracks in the dam ‘abo vs the seven
foot level. The dam must be repaired
to have it keep full, unless as large and
as constant a. supply runs into itas runs
out of the leaky structure. .
Mrs. Grupe says they have, lived on
their place for forty years and never
had their well run dry before. ‘ l
The Osborne well is lowered about
three feet, but is not yet dry. A large
number of wells in Silver Mine and
above, are dry.
Sidney Guthrie has a never failing
well of soft, cold water, clear as crystal
which is about two feet lower than the
average, being down to a level with the
river bed, but has an abundance of
water still. . Guthrie says that about
20 or 22 years ago, we had a similarly
long and severe drought.
Parties were digging at two places
on the Silver Mine road, Sunday, to
find heavy leaks in the South Norwalk
mains. One was found at 3. o’clock,
and another considerable leak in the
city main was noticed beside the high-
way, a short distance above Selectman
James’ residence.
The borough distributing reservoir,
on top of Spring Hill, is capable of a
three day’s supply. as at present dis-
tributed.
The Water Commissioners very kind-
ly suffered the water not to be shut 011',
Friday night, so the Hour and South
Norwalk Mechanics’ Journal could be
run off, and no loss to our supply has
resulted.
The laying of the city main down the
Silver Mine highway, has resulted in a
much improved road bed.
When the Grape reservoir dam is
cemented so as to hold water, it could,
at a small cost, be raised two feet
higher, and thus add many millions o
gallons to our storage.
The Lewisborough reservoir could
be raised eight to ten' feet at a small
cost for cheap land and the necessary
stone masonry.
An interview with Engineer Wood
and 'Water Commissioner Prowitt, sub-
stantiates" the GAZETTE’S views, as
above expressed, -of the situation, but
they give the further statement that the
reservoir leaks can not be repaired
during a dry time. It must be done
when the streams are running full and
the water abundant, so as to supply the
borough. Had this summer’s drought
been anticipated, it would have been
done last spring. When there is no
scarcity, these leakages, largeas they
are, do not seriously efi'ect our supply.
It is when the supply fails to replenish
the drains upon the reservoirs, that the
enormous wastage becomes of serious
account. Engineer Wood’s idea would
be to commence early in the coming
spring to properly grout and puddle
the Grupe reservoir dam, and if need
be raise it one or two feet higher. In.
the early spring, enough water can be
supplied the borough by the Lewis:
borough reservoir to permit the draw-
ing off of that at Grupe’s. So it would
seem that we must trust in the Lord for
needed rains, prevent all the wastes
possible in our daily uses of the water,
and go on till next spring. .
The good housewives will gratefully
thank the Water Commissioners, as
well as the God above us, for supplying
water enough for the family washing
this week.

The Marion’s at Dorlon’s.
The Marion club of the Third New
York Assembly district visited Dorlon
Point Tuesday. They arrived at the
Point at 12:30 o’clock on the commodi-
ous steamer Bay Queen. The party
numbered over 500 and included nearly
all of the Tammany General Commit-
tee. Among those present were Police
Justice Dan O’Reilly, president of the
club; John A. Birmingham, vice-presi-
dent; David Bennett, tretsurer;
Edward Byrnes, financial secretary;
Justice Divver, Congressman Dunphy,
Assemblymen P. Farquhar, and P. J.
O’Beirne, Justice Charles M. Clancy,
Deputy Commissioner James E. Con-
ner, ex-Aldermau Monohan and ex-
Assemblyman Charles Eiseman. A
clam bake was laid by Capt. Frank
Allen, his 115th bake, and like all his
previous ones it was a grand success.
Landlord Power bade his guests good
bye at 6 o’clock at which time they
bearded the steamer for home as happy
a crowd as ever left the Point. Asa
builder of clam-bakes Capt. Allen has
no peer.
, St. Mary’s Marble Altars.
Rev. Father Slocum congratulated
his people on their liberality in con-
tributing so generously for' the new,
pure white marble altars recently or-
deredby their pastor for St. _Mary’s.
Up to the noon service on Sunday he
had received some three thousand dol-
lars in contributions and the new pieces
to replace the broken ones, (which it
was at first feared might delay the
work considerably) will be in readi-
ness to set as the other work progresses.
When these altars are completed, no
finer ones will be found in Connecti-
cut.

Thrown Out.
As John Quintard and lady were
driving on West ave., Tuesday evening,
they ran into the pile of bricks in front
of the new Club House and both were
thrown from the carriage, but escaped
serious injury. The- harness was
broken and the carriage somewhat
damaged. The accident was caused by
the lanterns being placed so far back
in the pile that they could not be seen
from either side of the bricks.
. Crushed to Death. .
James Barry of Danbury, was
crushed to death Tuesday afternoon
by the caving in of a ditch eight feet
deep on Liberty street which had been
excavated to repair water mains. Sev-
eral other men were. partly buried.
John Niland had his hip broken and
received internal injuries from which
he will die. Anthony Burke and
Thomas Higgens were both badly hurt.
‘ A Fatal Fall.
John Rowland, 64, proprietOr of the
late firm known as the "Bentwood”
shop, in South Norwalk, which removed
to Yonk ors, N. Y., last spring, fell
from a third story window of his fac-
tory there! Tuesday, and was instant-
ly killed. - -

With the view of making known the
resources, productions and extent of
the different states, the bureau of sta-
tistic of the national treasury depart-
ment, has put out some interesting facts
and figures. The following relative to
Connecticut will be found of interest: '
The area of Connecticut is given as
4.750 square miles, or 3,040,000 acres,
and the home of 746,258 people. But
two states are of less extent—Rhode
Island andDelaware. At the time of
the first census, in 1790. Connecticut
ranked'as the eight state in population:
now it is the twenty-ninth.
Connecticut has three theolovical
schools, a medical college, a law school
and three colleges of liberal arts, but
no female college.
Of the agricu tural lands 563,156 acres
are devoted to hay, the production be-
ing 574,419 tgns and having a home val-
ue of $8,443, 959.
The area in tobacco is 6,136 acres,
With a product valued at $1,248,369.
Corn takes up 56,407 acres. which
produce 4,396,000 bushels, valued at
$2,857,694. '
The number of farm animals'in the
state is as follows: .
Horses—Number 51,376; value $5,-
280,652. '
OiIiICh cows—134,837; value, $4,316,-
7 .
Oxen and other cattle—101,122;
value, $2,896. 129.
Sheep—45,824; value,$189,308.
Swine—~55,042; value, $498,123.
Thereare no mules rrported from
Connecticut. In 1880 the number was
given at 539 for the state.
The indebtedness of both counties
and state are being gradually wiped
out. In 1880 the total state debt, less
sinkingfund, amounted to $4,967,600, ..
and in 1890 this had been reducedmore
than a million, the figures standing at
‘ $3,740, 200.
_ The county debt, exclusive of munic-
ipal and town indebtedness. less sink-
ing fund was in 1880, $101,300; in 1890
$30,547.
Total debt, less sinking fund, in 1880,
$5.069,000f 1890, $3,670,747.
. Debt, less sinking fund, per capita,
m 1880, $14; 1890, $5.05.
_ There’ were 176 commercial failures
in the state last year out of 18,281 busi-
ness_concerns, or .96 per cent. The to-
tal liabilities amounted to $1,447,617.
Connecticufihas 1,010 miles of rail-
road in operation.
The pig iron industry of the state is
about at a standstill, or, if anything,
slightly losmg ground. There is one
less furnace than ten years ago, and
the production was more than a thous-
and tons less in 1890 than for the' pre-
v10us year. The product last year
amounted to 20.136 tons.
. N 0 better indication of the prosper-
ity of_the state can be given than is
contained in the statement that the 10-
cal savmgs banks have 294,896 deposi-
tors, or over 7,000 more than the pre-
v10us year. These depositors have in
the banks $110,370,962, which shows a
growth of nearly five millions in twelve
months, and an average to each deposi-
tor of $374.27, as against $367.82 in 1889.
The average to each depositor is larger
in New Enoland only in Rhode Island
and New Hampshire. ‘
There are 3,319 persons in the state
engaged in the liquor trafiic. This in-
cludes distilleries, brewers and the or-
dinary liquor dealers.
Taken altogether, this is a fair pre-
sentation for the state.
A False Alarm.
Between 4 and 5 ‘O’clock Tuesday
morning Augustus Partrick. in great
excitement, hallooed Sheriff Toner from
his virtuous slumbers and announced
the pleasing intelligence that his five
cows had been in his garden all night
and had ruined everythino. The sher-
ifi' jumped out Of bed, called his boy to
rush after the cows and then told Par-
trick to go home, estimate the damage
and send him the bill, &c. The sheriff’s
son. smarter than his father, knew he
had locked the cattle all in the barn the
night before, and so before racing Over
to Partrick’s he took a .look into the
barn and there saw all of his cows sol-
emly chewing their ends and innocent
of the charge of destroying the garden
of the aforesaid Partrick. But his gar-
den was ruined, nevertheless, and he
has the culprits locked up awaiting an
owner.
Death of Editor S‘canion.
John Scanlon, editor and proprietor
of the Connecticut Catholic, died sud-
denly at 5 o’clock Monday morning
from heart trouble. Mr. Scanlon was
born in Simsbury in 1857, where he re-
ceived. a common school educatiOn. Af-
ter his family removed to Hartford in
1872, he was sent to , Niagara college,
from which he graduated in 1877. After
his return he studied law with H de &
J oslin and was admitted to the or in
1882. Soon afterwards he was associa-
ted with his brother, Michael F. Scan-
lon, as editor of the ConnecticutCatho-
lic. He was in the legislature in 1886
and 1887 and chairman of the commit-
tee on forfeited rights and on incor-
porations. He was state auditor for one
year and county auditor for two years.
At the time of his death he was one of .
the'actina' school visitors,
He was a
staunch democrat. . .
Better Light.
For some time past the light in use
in many of the light houses along the
sound has not been giving the best of
satisfaction and it is proposed to ex-
periment with various oils in view of
ascertaining which is the best. For
this purpose the U. S. steamer Mistle-
toe Will proceed to the east end of Lon
Island Sound, where experiments wilfl
1
be made with the oils. Buoys will be
placed at intervals of a half mile or so. .
On these lights Will be placed in differ-
ent colored lanterns and the oils tested
to learn which gives the best light. Af-
ter a thorough test has been made a
report will be made to. the proper com-
mittee, which ,it is expected will be
adopted.
.4 Burglar Captured.
This morning about two o’clock,
John Wood, the well-known plumber
who resides on Main street, was awak-
ened by hearing glass break. On get-
ting out of bed he received a blow on
the head. He immediately grappled
