The fremen respond ed with all promptness to the alarm, but be- fore their arrival the fire was mostly extin- guished by the free of John G.

Shot By a Deputy Sheriff

Deputy Sheriff Parsons, of Broad Brook, arrested young man named John Connors on Wednesday on warrant. He gave the young man notice that if he attempted to run away he should shoot him if necessary.

THE BEAVER PONDS

 What Shall Re Done With It2

An Elephant On The Cityss Hands
 What Shall Re Done With It2
 The special committee to inquire concern ing the condition of Beaver ponds, with a view of drainage or other improvement, held a meeting last evening in room IA City Hall. The committee consists of Aldermen Hill and Daley and Councilmen Martin, Kleiner and Pohlman Alderman Hill presided.
 The discussion was opened by Alderman Daley, who gave first his boyhood impress siens of this delectable @ spot, which were anything but assuring. It would seem that as he increased in years his opinions became more decided and now at the age of vigor- ous manhood he hesitates not to say that the whole Beaver pond region is thoroughly in- Tested with malaria that sends it's blighting, damaging influence to every portion of our beautiful city.
 Alderman Hill took quite gloomy look of the surroundings. He said he had under stood that the ponds could never be drained, that there were springs in these ponds from sixty to one hundred feet deep, and some had declared that there was no bottom what ever to them. If an attempt was made to drain, and it was only partially successful, the bogs and decaying vegetation would be 8 greater incentive to malarial disorders than at present experienced from these sickness
 
 formed that the ponds could be damned (with stone and mortar) and the whole re- zion flooded, forming beautiful lake, which he thought would be much better for the health cf the people than to drain them. Councilman Kleiner said that he under stood that the Board of Health had caused survey to be made of the whole Beaver pond region and he suggested that when the committee went on their tour of inspection that City Engineer Hill be requested to ac- company them.
 Alderman Daley said he thought map was made of the region several years ago for the benefit of the Board of Health and he moved that the clerk of the Board be seen and the map be secured. It was so voted.
 Councilman Kleiner thought that nothing would be gained by public hearing on the subject these hot nights and suggested that this part of the investigation be deferred un- til the weather is cooler.
 The committee voted to visit the locality on Tuesday next at p. m. and adjourned until that time

AMONG INSURANCE PEOPLE.
Losses by Fire in the United States
Causes of Fires and Their Proven
ton.

There is perhaps no excitement to which
the average New Yorker is more susceptible
than that which arises from burning build
ing. He will leave his business, his dinner,
or any other occupation which he may be en-
gagged in at the time, to run to a fire, and
whether he has stopped to put on his hat or
pick up hiscoat will be with him an after
consideration. A fire engine drawn by pair
of Infatuated steeds, tearing the arms nearly
out of the sockets of the hatless driver, with
its sparks flying and its gong beating, says
the New York Star, can draw in its wake
perfect army of small boys and turn the
most peaceful nelghborhood at any hour of
the day or night into a perfect bedlam. A
fire can gather together a bigger crowd in a
shorter space of time than a political meet
ing, brass band, or Barnums circus. The
mere whisper of the word "fire" in crowd
ed hall or theatre will suffice to bring an au-
dience to its feet at once, and will cause
women to Shrek and faint and men to turn
white as their own shirt-fronts. The widest
tempest at sea could scarcely give more
alarm to the passengers of an ocean steam
er than the information that the ship was on
fire. However great may be the excitnent
consequent upon condagration at the time,
