Broke a Crank Pin.

The steamer Continental, Captain Fred. J.. Peck, left this city at the usual time yester- day morning. When off Black Rock at about 12 o'clock loud thump was heard which shook the boat. Investigation showed that the crank pin had broken on the starboard side. The weather was very rough and the sea running high. A sudden lurch was prob ably the cause of the mishap. The tug Annie R. Wood, of Bridgeport, soon came along, and having been signalled lowed the steamer into Bridgeport. Word was sent to this city by passing schooner to send tug to the boat and bring her back to this city.
 A practical and experienced engineer, who happened to be one of the passengers, in- forms us that the coolness, precision and thorough system with which every duty was performed by the employees was highly com mendable and prevented any more serious trouble that might have arisen from less thorough good management. He pays the officers the highest compliment for their ability. Anyone who has travelled with Cap tain Fred. Peck knows that the passengers comforts are we'll looked after, and yesterday, when everything was placed in satisfactory order, he cordially invited all hands down to dinner. It is unnecessary to add that his in- vitation was accepted. ...

 lie Schools Protected From Danger by
 Fire-Report of the Enumerators.
 A regular meeting of the Board of Educa- tion was held last evening. Present, Messrs. Welch (presiding), Zunder, Harrison, Bush- nell, Peck, Parmelee, Maher and Plunkett.
 The question of school bills before the Legislature came up and it was decided to have Mir. Plunkett and Secretary Day go to Hartford and look after any and all bills re lating to school matters.
 The question of fire escapes for school buildings was brought up by Major Maher at the request of Mir. Gildersleeve, citizen.
 It was the general feeling that the school buildings were well protected so far as escape in case of fire was concerned, there being wide stairways, the doors opening outward and every precaution having been taken against loss of life in erecting the buildings in case of fire.
 MT. Zunder advocated plan which he thought should be taught to teachers, so that in case of fire the children by given signal would pass out of the building in regular or der A system of drills was also Suggested.
 The result was that the superintendent was instructed to devise plans and report at a fu- ture meeting of the Board.
