POOLS AND BROOKS.
The Most DIsngreeable Sunday of
 the Season.

the Season.
 Yesterdays storm was the most dis agreeable Waterbury has experienced in a long time. The rain began just about the time people came out of church and continued heavy most of the day and evening, eating away immense quanti,, ties of snow and ice. The streets and sidewalks were ankle deep in water in many places, and the failure to have the ice cleared from the openings of the sewers also made trouble.
 Cellars were flooded in many places and the sewers were entirely unable to carry away the pools of water. The simple defect in many of our streets was the failure of those who cleaned the snow from the walks to cut a small channel in the ice in the gutter. The Meriden & Waterbury railroad tracks under the Baldwin street bridge are nearly two feet under water to-day.
 The storm was general over the state and for time there was brisk wind along the shore.

Slight Error in tho Figures Printed
 Last Week.
 In statement of the financial condi- tion of the water board, printed in these columns last week, the deficit for 1890 was given as $9,250. To-day the water board called our attention to the fact that of the money appropriated last year for water purposes an unexpended balance of several thousand dollars re- mains. We hasten to give the board credit for the amount unexpended and find that the actual deficit during the year was S5,695.36 instead of S9,25O. The fact that the system is not self-sus. taining still remains, however.

Derby Road Track. Washed Aw.


 BIRMINGHAM, Jan 12.-The most seri- ous freshet which has ever occurred here swept down the river this morning doing great damage. The ice formed a jam backing the water up the meadows to a depth of six feet. Three hundred feet of the piling of the Derby road ex- tension was swept away, the large timbers being snapped like pipe stems. The heavy spiles were uprooted and carried down the river, and the tracks and other timbers are one by one falling into the water. An iron bridge spans the river and the trestle runs across the meadows. It is feared that the east pier of the bridge. will be swept away. Clark's boathouse above the dam, has been lifted from its foundation and Augustus Baum's barn has been swept away. The loIs will exceed $10,0 Superintendent Hogson says the ice is piled upon the tracks to a depth of several feet for a distance of half a mile, In the Naugatuck valley the condition is nearly as bad as in the Housatonic.

Ullie Akerstrom's Experience With
 PS0pinx Drummer.
 Shortly after 12 o'clock Friday night while the charming little actress, Ullie Akerstrom. was preparing to retire in her chamber at the Scovill house, she heard a suspicious noise in the room ad- joining her own and simultaneously a pair of glistening eyes peered through the transom, by which the rooms are connected. Not caring to create scene by arousing the house Miss Akerstrom quietly pinned towel over tho transom and retired. In the morning she in formed Landlord Tremaine of what had occurred and the occupant of the room, a commercial drummer, was summarily elected from the house. After being foiled in his attempt to see over the transom, by the presence of mind O. Miss Akerstrom, the scoundrel had attempt ed to cut a small hole through the door between the rooms, but gave up the job, probably fearing detection and expo sure. The fellow left Saturday morning for New Britain. Landlord Tremaine telephoned to the hotel proprietors there notifying them of the drummer's weak ness.

WRECK ON THR MERIDEN ROAD Almost . Miraculous Rscape From .
 Frirhtful Disaster.

Fri0htful Disaster.
 The heavy rains yesterday and this morning caused a serious accident on the Meriden, Waterbury & Connecti- cut River railroad to-day, and several people had an almost miraculous escape from death.
 The train which leaves Cromwell at 6:30 o'clock for Waterbury went through the Little river bridge near the Westfield depot. As the wheels struck the bridge it gave way and the engine and combination car were precipitated into the river. The passenger coach re- mained upon the track.
 The train was in charge of Conductor E. Hart, of Middletown Engineer Michael Ledwith of Cromwell; Fireman John Kline, of Cromwell, and Brake men Tod Briggs and John Lamb. In the combination car was Edward BAu- man of West Cromwell. All of the above were thrown into the icy water. The brakemen swam ashore without difficulty. Kline managed to climb upon a stringer of the bridge and succeeded in rescuing the engineer, who was almost exhausted. Conductor 200 feet when he seized the limb of an overhanging tree and managed to keep above water until help arrived. Bau- man had a most thrilling experience. He was swept down the river fully 400 feet and sunk twice when he seized hold of piece of wleckage and chung to it for dear life. He was rescued in an ex- hausted condition. The men were cared for at the house of Michael McClosky, who lived near by.
 The bridge was wooden structure sixty feet in length. The fireman saw that the bridge was twisted out of shape as the train rounded the curve just be- fore the accident. He yelled to the engineer and the engine was reversed and whistles for down brakes sounded but it was impossible to stop the train in time to prevent the catastrophe. The accident was caused by the freshet and jam of ice.
 Superintendent Crawford with { wrecking crew was early on the scene The engine is entirely submerged anc the combination car has been carried 20( feet below the bridge. For the prescn passengers will be transferred around , the wreck.
 Arthur Adams, son of c. Collart Adams, who is employed by Arcllitec Jackson, was upon the wrecked train.

Franklin and the French.


 By his manners and ways of life he became the most popular man in France, so that when he gained his pre- sentation to the King his future was as- sured. As he passed through the streets of Paris he was followed by admiring eyes and cheered loudly by enthusiastic voices, says the Century. A contempo- rary writes: "A friend of mine paid something for place at a two-pair-of stairs window to see him pass by in his coach, but the crowd was so great that he could but barely say he saw him. He was the Frenchman's embodiment of the ideal citizen, republican, philoso- pher and friend. He completely cap tivated and captured the people of France, whom he perfectly understood, and he well knew that a popular man becomes soon more powerful than pow CT itself.'" Condorcet said: ''It was an honor to have seen him. People re- peated what they had heard him say. | Every fete which he consented to re | ceive, every house where he consented to go, spread in society new admirers, who became so many partisans of the | American revolution.n =.. aTwants, For Sale, For Rent and othe advertisements of a similar character pub lished in the EVENING DEMOCRAT for on' cent word. rET t.
