ThA Water Pines. Etc.

Mayor Davenport, Mr.. Mitchell, Mr.,
Riley and Contractor Cowell held con-
sultation at the council room this forenoon
in relation to what point to attack next,
and it was agreed that the next work shall
be on Madison from Illinois to Orleans. The
water did not freeze on Madison between
Orleans and Rock River streets, last win
ter. The water came up Rock River
street to Madison, and on Madison to
Orleans and up Orleans to Broadway, and
there it froze. Over this territory they
will not disturb the pipe at present, but will
begin at the corner of Madison and Rock
River streets and work south blocks to
Spencer street; also begin at Orleans and
Broadway and work south blocks to Mo-
line Avenue. When this is done they will
turn on fire pressure and learn if the
pipes are broken on the Avenue. Sup't
Boynton says the valves are open there
but no water makes its appearance. HI
thinks the ice must be thawed in the pipt
and if so, why don't water make its ap
pearance somewhere up that way? W,
shall soon know.
AS TO filling the trenches it was agree
that the first 2 feet Of filling in all tn
trenches shall be clear earth or clay earth
after that the best material which ha
been taken out, taking special care to keel
all rocky matter and broken rock for tn
top.
! We again urge this point: Too muc
lcare can not be taken in filling the trenches
That is half the battle against tn
Frost King. 1t is of little use to expen
the peoples money in sinking the pipes
i. poor job of filling is done. The none
will be wasted, unless this point is closer
watched by everybody. Water takers, too
should take extra pains with their job
In Clinton all the mains are first covere
with foot of earth: then foot OF sa
{ | dust, and then the trench is filled wit
earth. Spencer White says the saw du
will not rot in 80 years or more, if keE
from the air. Our service pipe is laid in
tight box just large enough to admit i
this box is filled with coal tar then CO
ering of saw dust; then foot of cles
earth then another foot of saw dust-tl

twenty, fifteen of which were more or

from Newfane. The board was marked
out in squares on the bare floor, which
was of Southern pine, and the prisoners
were wont to while away their miserable
hours in playing on it at draughts, with
buttons, bits of bone, ETC., for men. A
veteran who attended the reunion last
week recognized the board and said he
had played checkers on it many times

BURGLARIEs AT WATERBURY.-The
Burlington Free Press says that three
houses were entered by burglars, Friday
night. When Mr.. Foster, who boards
with Azariah Remington, was going into
the front hall on his way to bed, he saw
a dark-colored man, with bare feet,
creeping up the front stairs. At the
first sight of Mr.. Foster the thief
crouched, but thenext momenth he bound
ed up the stairs and jumped out of the
chamber window and escaped in the
darkness, it being about 8 o'clock in the
evening. About half an hour after that
at the house of Mr.. George Hutchins,
where Mrs. Ropes, William Hutchins
and Edward Hutchins with their fami-
lies were spending the evening, with
doors and windows open, the wife of Ed
ward Hutchins left the well-lighted par
lor bedroom for a moment and when she
returned her portemonaie, containing
about $50, had disappeared from the
bureau, which stood by the open window
Another house was entered and a dress
taken from the clothes press in the sec
ond story. The front door standing ajar
no one heard the rogue when he did hi;
work. The tracks of mans bare feet
were plainly visible the next morning
around the house of Mr.. Remington
and tracks of the same description a

the direction of the former place. 4

track, skulking along towards the depot
and having just heard of the burglar.
at Mr.. Remington's he watched him an
saw him jump ON the train just as
was starting and jumped on by the sid
of him. When the train had got unde

Wells w. Felt, native of Rocking
ham, died last week at Williamstown,

as one of the popular hotel men of the
country and at the time of his death was
one of the proprietors of the Lindell
Hotel at st. Louis. He was born at
Rockingham in 1928. His first venture
in the hotel business was the old Bellows
Falls House at this pace about lS4s
where he laid the foundation Of repu-
tation which lasted his lifetime From
this place he removed to New Haven in
1850, and took the management Of the
Tontine House "a hotel which greatly
increased in popularity during his stay,
He next went to st. Louis and connect
ed himself with the Planters Hotel, and
on the retirement of Mr.. Stickney be-
came proprietor with Mr.. Hatch. He
afterwards became lessee of the Lindell
which was in low condition at the time
but which speedily became prosperous
under his excellent management. This
hotel burned in the fall of 1867, and in
February 1868, Mr.. Felt went to Chicago
and became associated with Mr. Drake
in the management of the fremont which
relationship continued up to the time of
the fire. Upon completion of the Gard
ner House deceased took charge of it in
connection with Mr.. Gould. Last Sep
TENDER the Lindell House having been
reconstructed, Mr.. Felt went again to
st. Louis to manage it.
His health, however, had been failing
some time, and four weeks ago it was
thought his acknowledgements disease OF
the kidneys might be checked by a visit
to the East Acting upon the advice Of
his physicians he went to Williamstown
But unfortunately the disease was toe
deep rooted and he succumbed to it Mon
day night He was 50 years of age and
and leaves wife and three children
He was an active enterprising man, and
had the happy faculty of making hosts
of friends and the Chicago Tribune says
that to his labors in the city Chicago
