Another accident, the most serious that
has yet transpired, occurred at noon
Tuesday at the City Mill Hatchery, by
which every fish at the station, compri-
sing over 10000 were instantaneously
scalded to death by an injection of hot
water from the boilers Of the City Mil
into the pipes supplying the hatchery.
The accident happened through the
heedlessuess Of the fireman, who, in at
tempting to pump water into the
boiler, by mistake, forced hot water into
the hatchery supply pipes, resulting in
the immediate death of $4,000 lake trout
and 10000 brook trout and all the other
young fish at the station.
Dr. Shostlidge is thoroughly disheart-
ened over the misfortune. He had only
just made preparations for a wholesale
distribution Of the young fry in the
streams of the State, and to deposit guam
titles Of them in the new station at Cool
Spring reservoir. In considering the
cause Of the accident and what might
have been done in order to preclude the
possibility Of such a loss it is asked why
ste p-valve had not been placed to pre-
vent it. The reply is that if such an ar
rangement existed yesterday when the
fireman turned the hot water on, the
likelihood is that the report would be of
a fatal accident the loss of the fireman's
