Fire Commissioners.

A special meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners was held last evening, Con- missioner Mullen presiding.
 The application of George filling & Co. to erect frame building on Water street for the storage of shayings was refused, it being within the fire limits.
 The real object of the meeting was to hear the appeal of Pipeman Ruel Eldridge from the decision of the Board who dismissed him from Engine No. at their last meeting.
 Mir. Eldridge stated that he did got sup pose he was liable to hose duty when he was assigned as driver Of Hook and Ladder 1. Re could not explain, however, why lie did not so state to Captain Davis
 Selectman Crawford appeared before the Board and recommended Mir. Eldridge very highly.
 There was nothing against EldEidge's character when he was dismissed. the only charge being insubordination.
 After discussion among the members 1t was decided that Eldridge could not be re-install- ed without a full Board being present, and that he would have to again make regular appli- cation to be appointed member of the de- partment.
 Commissioner Mullen said that the moral effect upon other members of the depart ment had been good. The charges were serious and 1t would put other members of the department on their guard. Final action was not taken on the matter. X

Board of Health.

The Action taken at the Meeting Last
 Evening.
 At the Board of Health meeting last even- ing communication from MT. Davidson, superintendent of the Hartford division of the Consolidated road was read stating that notices had been given the parties along the line of the track on the first of August re- questing them not to drain their offensive matter into the ditches, but the parties had not responded. The letter also stated that the road would cooperate with the Board of Health in abating the nuisance The matter was referred to the standing committee.
 Dr. Lindsley stated that he had replied to letter from the assistant editor of an en- gineering paper that about one-hslf of the houses in the city used the sewer system. The rest either had never used the sewers or had partly or altogether abandoned them.
 Mir. Wheeler, recently appointed trustee of the late Joel Ives estate, asked for sus- pension of the order to connect the privy vaults of the tenements 270 and PIP Grand street with the sewer. Mir. Marks, of 256 Grand street, asked that the order in the ed to alter his buildings materially next spring. Dr. Morrell of York street, also asked for an abatement of the order passed two weeks ago to make connections with the sewer at his house. The matter was dis cussed in executive session, and the requests for abatement were not allowed except in the case of Mir. Marks, in whose case the order was temporarily suspended, inasmuch as he contemplated changing his buildings.

threatened.with almost total destruction by the layout of this so-caIled Hartford and Har- lem road. What the next move of the road will be it is hard to determine. The opinion prevails, however, that they will, if they go through the city at all, be obliged to adopt the layout farther west along the bank of West river.
 As usual the Hartford and Harlem was represented by MT. Baldwin. and the ''Olm- stead Parallel' by Hon. Levi Warner, of Norwalk, and Hon. A. P. Hyde. of Hartford. These were also present. There were also in attendance Engineer Rawn, of the Hartford and Harlem; s. E. Olmstead, Nor walk, president of the Air Line company; Col. H. W. E. Hoyt, of Greenwich, who appear ed for several residents of that place l; MT. J. s. Seymour, of Norwalk, who was also inter ested in some manner MT. H. R. Parrott, and MT. T. W. Downs, of Bridgeport, attor- neys for the Air Line. Mir. Hyde closed for the Air Line with forcible argument against the acceptance of the Hartford and Harlem's layout, making several points, which were very briefly repIled to by MT. Baldwin.

The Flushing train numbered four or five cars. The locomotives were much, bat tered. One passenger had his leg nearly taken of. It hung by shred. He lived but few minutes.
