We are assured that at no time was there
short supply of Sebago water at the fire OF
Prebie street on Saturday night; and the rea-
son the engines first arriving did not attach to
4he hydrant, was because it was supposed there
was not water enough. The next engine ar
irving made an attempt to attach to the Elm
street hydrant, and was told there was no wa
ter, upon information derived from the first
named supposition. One of our old engineers
thought be would assure himself which he did
by trying the PEBBLE street hydrant, and found
large supply, which was Immediately turned
to account in supplying the Market Square
reservoir with the water which they dsdained
to take from the hydrant.
We know that there was short suppy OF
water at the fire en- Preble street on Sunday
morning, and the reason why the engine first
arriving did not attach to the hydrant was be-
Gauge the gauge at the engine house showed
only IL lbs. water pressure, (the average is
about 80 lbs) The cold engineer" referred to
In the communication, we presume. is the one
I'll at had charge of the outside pressure at the
Falmouth Hotel fire to put water on, whilst
young engineers were up in the rooms that
were on fire, trying to put it out, with the least
possible amount of water.
If "old engineer would stay away from
fires it would be more to his credit, and would
save him the trouble of trying the MIGRANTS
thereby deceiving himself and the public. At
ter the fire Sunday morning was we'll under
control, the hose was attached to the hydrant
In Congress street, near the U. S. Hotel to fill
the reservoir. The pressure was so light that
the smallest boy by putting his foot upon it
would haze displaced the water within, and
the water from the Preble street hydrant,
leading up one story into the stable, did not go
fifteen feet from the nozzle of the pipe.

Injunction granted by Judge Walton on the

| In the charter of the Portland Saco & Ports

| served the right to authorize other roads 10

with it. The case turned upon the meaning OF

Question was also made whether the court
has jurisdiction, the statute having authorized
the Railroad Commissioners to fix times and
terms of consection in such cases. But the
court he'll that it has jurisdiction in this case,
because the respondents claimed that the
statute requiring them to draw the cars of a
connecting road was unconstitutional in re-
spect to them, and denied the right of the Bos-
ton & Maine company to have their cars thus
drawn, and because the remedy through the

time the rights of the public as well as of the
other compliments would be most seriously

The practical effect of the decision is to con-
tinue the injunction until final decision of
the case but does not of course preclude the
court from changing their opinion upon full
hearing of the whole case.
