 CITY MAPS
 There are no less than 800 mans and plans of city streets, grades and sewers stored in my office. These maps cost somewhere from $1O to $1OO each to make; but their value cannot be reckon ed by their cost, for the age of some of the maps, showing as they do layouts of streets made years ago with the then ex- isting land marks and, division lines, makes their value at the present time many times their original cost. These maps must be in or adjacent to the en- gineer's office where they are used every day, but they should not be left as now in place where they might be so easily swept out of existence by fire. Besides the maps and valuable instruments there are note books and other records belong to the city that really, the city is very much, in fact of great value to the city and negligent in failing to provide better and safer quarters for such prop erty.

A RAILROAD SUED.
Mrs Bridget Sullivan Wants $5, 1000
 For Injuries Received.

NEW HAVEN. Jan 11.-Suit has been brought by Mrs Bridget Sullivan of West field Mass, against the New Haven & Northampton railroad for S5.OO0 for in juries received at the Chapel street grade crossing in August. Mrs Sullivan is over 70 years old, and her escape from instant death was almost miraculous. Though warned against it, she tried to cross the track in front of an express train, got bewildered as the train thundered down upon her from the Elm street bridge and fell upon her knees directly in the mid dle of the track. The air brakes stopped the train so quickly that the rear car blocked the highway, but the locomotive tender picked the woman up and tossed her to one side as easily as q chip. She was taken to her home near by in what was supposed to be a dying condition and priest administered the last rites of the Catholic church. A few hours later shs was sitting up and relating to callers the details of the accident. Her claim for 1000 damages is for internal in juries and based on the assertion of neg ligenoe on the part of the locomotive en- gineer in not blowing his whistle at the distance from the crossing required by law.

 SOUTH NoRwALK. January 1l.-The many friends of Alice Village were shocked to hear of her death yesterday afternoon, but more so to learn that after the physicians had given her up she had become the wife of Walter Hall, a well known South Norwalk young man. Miss Village had been falling for many months with consumption, but a few weeks ago it became necessary to have watchers remain with her. Walter Hall and Miss Village were engaged to be married and at an early day the happy wedding ceremony was to have taken place. A consultation of physi- clans was held on Monday and all hope of Miss Village recovering was abandon, ed. Walter Hall, who was a faithful lover, became fran ic with grief and could not think of her dying wlthoct claiming her as his bride. On Tuesday he went for a minister and in the pres ence of the immediate friends and rela- tives who had gathered about the bed side, MT Hall and Miss Village were made husband and wife. Mir Hall watched day and night by the side of his wife until the fatal .roiiirnt "ril\eu.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
A Question of Law in Regard tc
 Vaccination.

question or Law in Regard to
 Vaccination.
 At the meeting of the board of health last night it was reported that the eleven people living in the house on River street where the Brady girl is lying sick with varioloid, had refused to be vacci- mated. Assistant City Attorney Burpee was appealed to and said there was a statute which provided that in a case like this parties living in the house must either submit to vaccination or be re moved to the pest house. Up to press hour nothing further had been done in the matter. Another question arose as to who should support the quarantined families. The town refused to do any thing for one of the families living in the house, claiming that the city was re- sponsible, having quarantined the house. Mayor Baldwin was of opinion that the city was responsible for the support of the quarantined families The may or and health officer were appointed n committee to consult with legal authOri ties and take such action as they thought best.

 "woman Against Woman"
 The entire play ran with exceeding smoothness, and the company is regard, ei as one of the strongest and most evenly balanced that has ever appeared at this theatre. During the run of the play, and while the pathetic scenes were being enacted, half the audience was in tears, which, in itself, must be consider cd strong testimony as to the excell, nc . of the performance and the strength of the drama.

ASPHALT PAVING RECOMMENDED.

No pavement has been laid during the year, not I apprehend because it was not needed, but because there was no funds. We have grand total of 3,15O
 feet of pavement, a little over half a mile, mere patch on the long line of streets to be paved. You are we'll aware of the needs of the city in this particular and there is no call at this time to repeat
 what has been said on that subject. There are some few streets which may
 be ordered paved this coming season, and in case Exchange Place and East
 Main street should be on the list, ven ture to suggest to you the advisahility of laying an asphalt pavement on these two streets Asphalt would meet some of the objections raised against stone blocks and would be quite suitable for these streets, since they are broad for Water
 bury) and have easy grades. The pave
 ment would cost more than others, but
 it is smooth, silent, sanitary, and has
 nearly all the qualities of best pave
 ment for broad and flat streets. Let us
 hope that some way may be found to pave other streets with blocks where they alone will answer, and with crushe l
 stone where it will be serviceable and suitable. SEWERS.
 Under the head of sewers MT Weld shows sewers have been laid in Bridge, East Main Farm Fairview, Franklin, Johnson, McGill, Pemberton, Pleasant and Waterville. These sewers were built in three contracts by Henry Kellner, Ed ward McManus and James Sutton. The engineer says: No unusual difficulties
 were met in the prosecution of the work except on East Main street where so much rock was encountered that the pro- gress has been very slow. This will be main sewer for a large area north of East Main street and is lald deep through the hill to reach the sewerage
 from the hollow beyond. Stand pipes are brought up to within ten feet of the street surface for house connection, mak- ing no more work to connect with the deep sewer than with shallow one. The work of cleaning basins has increased to such an extent that think the city should have it's own horses and carts for
 the purpose.
 The length of sewers in use January 1, 1889 was 97. .45S. 59 feet or 18.46 miles. The length of :.sewers built in 1889 was 7,O1s.27 feet or 1.33 miles. The length
 of sewers in use January 1, 1890 is 104,- 475.8G feet or 19.79 miles. The sewer

The Project of Building an American
City Near Halifax.

The Project of Building an American
City Near Halifax.
Canadian and New England papers
are having considerable to say about a
prospective city on the Atlantic coast.
1t is to be built at point on the Strait
of Canso, and the name already given to
it is Terminal City. 1t is within five
miles of the present terminus of the
Nova Scotia branch of the great Inter-
colonial Railway, and surveys have been
made with view of laying tracks to it,
1t is claimed that harbor exists there
that is superior to almost any on the
Atlantic coast. Its entrance is 12 miles
wide without an island or shoal. The
water in the harbor is deep. Fogs are
of very unusual occurrence. On the ISL
and of Cape Breton but short way
off, are some of the finest coal mines in
the world, and it is claimed hat fuel Tor
steamships can be obtained cheaper there
than at any port on the Atlantic. The
average rise and fall Of the tides at this
point is only five feet.
1t is bell iaved that steamers can make
trips from this place to British ports in
two days less time than from any Cana
dian or American port. A company
mostly composed of British capitalists
has purchased a lar re territory both on
the mainland AMI the Island of Cape
Breton. They have obtained charter
from the legislature of Nova Scotia "for
the purpose of 70 ling and fostering
the growth of IL la > commercial, man.
ufacturing, and fl rg center near the
eastern terminus of the Strait of Canso.
To bring the property to the notice of
manufacturers and shippers special
trains are to be run. The members
of this company are following the ex-
ample of Western land spectators in
blooming" the great seaport of the
future. Some pro ess to believe that a
city larger than Halifax will be built
there within 10 years.
Such may be the case, but it seems
somewhat strange that the wonderful
advantages of this place were not dis
covered sooner The men who first sail
along the coast of a country generally
find the best harborS and fix the sites of
great commercial cities. Before West
ern capitalists invest much money in
lots at Terminal City another town may
be built on Cape Breton Island which
will shorten the voyage to Europe an
other half day. The Cape Breton Rail-
way is nearly completed, aud it is
claimed that it will touch three harbors.
1t is also well to remember that the at
tempt to make great shipping port of
Milford Haven, in Wales, has not sue
ceeded. Its harbor is excellent, and it
is easier to reach than Liverpool. But
it is difficult to build up new shipping
point when there is an established trade
with old and large cities. s.-[Chicago
