at that moment Mr.. G.e'jer's little girl
rushed out and said man had been in
their back yarl. Messrs Weisler and
GAZETTEER at once gave chase to the man
and after securing the alley found him
crouched behind fence at the corner of
the alley. When asked what he was
doing there be said he was Simply eating

WaEer Main Trouble.

Superinter dent OF Waterworks Murrin
has been pretty busy since Thursday
nights fire repairing water mains which
the unusual pressure bursted. At Third
avenue and Fourth street 12 inch pipe
gave way and the lower floor of the
stove works was flooded in consequence.
This damage was repaired, however. by
noon yesterday. But the bursted 12-
inch main on Second avenue east of
Twentieth was not so easily repaired.
The unusual pressure of 1O5 pounds
which was necessary to reach School
Building No caused defective place
in the pipe to break, and the water
soon found its way to the sur
face. Supt. Murrin's forces worked
all day yesterday and until 2 o'clock this
morning, when work was suspended until
this morning on account of the necessity
of blasting. At daylight work was re-
sumed, and Mr.. Murrin hopes by this
evening to have the broken main re-
placed.
At 10 O'Clock this morning portion OF
the hank cayed in on William Reddig
who was stopping down cutting the pipe
His shoulder was wrenched and his left
arm cut by teir g brought in contact with
the ragged edge of the pipe. The in-
inries are no. regarded as serious.

The other amounts were sums running down to one pound. Several assessments
 were abated. Forty-one men were assessed and three women, Debora Dickerman on
 99, Phebe Hays on 8, Mabel Stiles on 5.
 Dr. Trumbull states in his century ser mon, 1901, that there were forty-one Episcopal families then, and seventy-five deaths among the Episcopalians between 1760 and 1901. He also adds that in a population of 1900 he had under his pas toral care on an average for forty years, more than one thousand persons, and four hundred and eighty-four from among his people died within that period.
 So small did the grand list of the society become that only in 1913 and 1919 was it ever reported to the convention of the dio- cese, and only on four occasions previous to 1899 was the parish represented in the 1906 by Abraham Blakes- lee, in 1913 by Lemuel Brooks, in 1816 by Philemon Blakeslee, in 1919 by Daniel Pierpont, who was town clerk forty-four years The annual assessment varied from two to four pence on pound, and from mills to three cents on dollar. To assist in the support of the bishop was an additional difficulty In 1919 the society executed bond obliging itself to annually pay TOT that purpose S6.9O. The sum of $7:lO was paid and nothing more until 1923, when the sum of 5000 was paid, and $50 were borrowed of Elmon Blakes- lee to square up. Then the bond was can celled. Moreover, at the close of the la.t century another troublesome matter come up. The church was greatly in need of repairs. It had been hastily and cheaplv built in 1760, and remained unpainted on he inside, and probably on the outside It had no attractiveness in any respects. md the storms of nearly forty 7ears were bringing ruin. Meeting after meeting of the society was held and spec al committees on repairs appointed. The committees refused to act on account of financial security, and little
