WATER BOARD MEETING.

Tho CommissIoners Refuse TO In
vsstixats the Mad River supply.
The board of water commissioners
held their regular monthly meeting last
evening.
The petition of William Z. Quigley ct
al to fish on the East Mountain reservoir
from February to Z, was granted with
the usual conditions.
John w. Sears and others who own
property on Scovill street presented a
bill for damages caused by the bursting
Of a water main on the street, Christmas
morning. A hearing was given upon
the matter and the bills for damages
were laid over until the next meeting.
The petition to employ the services of
hydraulic engineer to act with the
board in investigating the possibility of
getting = water supply from Mad river,
was discussed and referred back to the
common council without recommsnda-
ton.
The new board will meet to organize
Monday evening January 8, the only
change being the retirement of John III.
Moran, who is succeeded by George
Panneton.
During the discussion on the Mad
river petition it was brought out that
when the question of artesian wells was
brought up twenty years ago that an
expert from Yale college went over Wa
terbury and its surroundings, and after
a long and exhaustive survey, the eX-
pert decided that the plan of supplying
the city with water by the use of these
wells was impracticable.

Sentenced 30 be Hanged January
80, 4S92.
LITCHFIELD, Jan 1.-The trial Of An
drew Berjenssn for the murder Of EN-
ma Anderson was continued yesterday
afternoon. The jury had the case in
hand but a short time when a verdict Of
murder in the first degree was found.
The announcement had little or no effect
on the prisoner, who listened to the
reading of the clerk with seeming indif-
ference.
Boriensen was brought into court for
sentence this morning. He appeared
unconcerned and displayed no feeling
whatever. Judge Andrews sentence
him to be hanged by the neck until dead
on January 90, 1892, between the hours
of 10 a. m. and 2 p. IN. After being
sentenced the wretch coolly walked to
his cell without saying a word.
The crime for which Borjensen will
pay the death penalty was horrible
one and was committed in New Milford
last July. The Anderson girl having
refused to receive his attentions Borien-
sen secured entrance to her bedroom one
night by climbing in a window, and
while the girl slept he cut her throat
with a butcher knife, mutilating her
terribly. Borjensen fled after commit
ting the deed, but was captured by
sheriff's posse which was organized when
the girls dead body was found in the
IN orning.

DEMURRER oVERRULED.
Another Chapter in a Celebrate.
Case.

Another Chapter in a Celebrated
Case.
In the superior court at New Haven,
yesterday, Judge Fem handed in a
decision in the celebrated case of John
p. Kellogg, administrator, against
Richard 8. Hicks, overruling the demur-
rer which was filed by the defendant.
About 1925 200 is involved in this suit.
Philo Brown, late of Waterbury, died in
1880 leaving a large estate. w. II.
Brown, his son, and Hiram Van Dussn
were named executors. On Dscem-
Der 10, 1899. Van Dusen resigned
and w. II. Brown was removed
from the sxecutorshsp by order of the
probate court. John p. Kellogg was ap-
pointed administrator. A suit had been
brought against the estate and $125, 700
damages had been levied against it.
When it came to collecting this amount
it was found impossible to do so, as w.
Ii. Brown had in 1884 transferred a
large part of the estate to Richard s.
Hicks of this city. The plaintiff asked
an order annulling said deeds which Mr.
Hicks now holds, and an order directing
defendant to execute to plaintiff quit
deed.
In the demurrer which was overruled
it was claimed that w. H. Brown was
the dOvisee of said real estate under the
will, and that he made an individual
deed, as he lawfully Nigh, tof his interest
in said real estate under the will. It did
not appear that the plaintiff had obtain
ed any order of the probate court for
sale Of said real estate to pay the debts
Of the estate of Philo Brown. 1t was
not shown TO have been any such con-
veyance as should be set aside.

The victim howled with pain. The girl

The New England Road Cutting Down
Expenmea.

kNpeumeAs
The Office of trainmaster on the east
ern and western divisions of the New
England railroad has been abolished. G..
F. Ingles, trainmaster of the eastern
division, will resume his old position as
stationmaster at Boston, and Thomas
Burns, trainmaster of the western divis-
ion, will go back to his old position
that of conductor.
General Superintendent d. II. Nichols,
Of the New England road, is said to be
making arrangements to have removed
to East Hartford, all the offices of the
road, now situated in Hartford. The
object of this movement 10 not stated,
but il is thought to reduce expenses, the
same reason for which the office of
trainnAster was abolished. Other
changes similar to the above are con
templated, and it is expected that some
Of the minor officials will be removed.
The Hartford correspondent of the
Springfield Republican asserts that be-

WEATHER STATISTICS.
The Coolest December Since the
Year 1870,

The Coolest December Stnos the
Year 1879.
According to Sergeant Cox the month
Just closed has been the coolest DeceHl-
Der, in these parts, since 1876. In that
year the mean temperature for the
month Of December was 25.9 degrees ;
last month it WAS 26.7 degrees.
The mean temperature for the past
month is over degrees below the nor
NAL, showing to have been throughout
its thirty-one days unusually cold and
severe. The rainfall and snowfall is
one half inch below the normal. While
this is true of the past month it is not
the case with the year which it closes
for the mean temperature and rainfall
for the past twelve months are just
about normal.
A curious fact as showing how diff
cult it is to predict the weather when
every thing is SO unsettled, is shat on
two occasions during the past month it
has showed here, but has been clear in
New York at the same time, while on
three occasions 1t has showed in New
York but has been clear here.
