o'clock last night, after one OF the
stormiest sessions ever known in the
history Of the state, the legislature adj
journed sine die. Both bodies had been
in session all day with about fifteen
members and half a dozen senators,
waiting on the governor and enrolling
force.
The legislature practically finished
work at o'clock Sunday morning. AT
that time the two houses passed the
miscellaneous and executive and judi
cial appropriation bills. The two bills
had been discussed in conference com
mittee nearly all OF Saturday.
The changes In the miscellaneous APP

do for her. On their return they stop

The Bradford water commissioners
are making preparations for the winter
by having the supply pipe to the reser'
voir run under Waite's river at Baldwin
bridge, instead of through the bridge as
last year, when the system was frozen
up for four months. Referring to this
an "Eastside" paper says: "The water
commissioners have had boxes made to
shield the hydrants from the rigors OF
the winter. Most of them froze up last
winter, but it is proposed to ascertain if
they cannot be induced to reform next
winter. The boxes have remova-
BILE tops. They will be filed with
straw or shavines before cold
weather sets in. In some English
cities the water mains are so arrange
that hydrants can be easily and quickly
attached at numerous points, thus doing
away with fixed hydrants. Each fire
company carries its own hydrant and
screws it into the main wherever water
is required. Some such scheme might
be useful here" The question arises
How can the fire companies dig down
to the pipes to attach 'its own by drant. "
