PAINFULLY OIlATORY.
That Is What Engineer Cairns Says in Regard 10 the Thatcher Cos Contract.

That Is What Engineer Cairns Says in Regard 10 the Thatcher Co.'S Contract.
 Alderman Barlow presided at the meet ing of the water committee last night The miscellaneous bills amounting to s25, 733.14 and the payroll of s1.377.93 were approved. A bill of the Southern New England Telephone Go was referred back for explanation. City Engineer Cairns submitted the following report in relation to the progress of the work on the Charles Thatcher Co contract:
 "WATERBrRY, October 30, 1894.
 Gentlemen: find work on section two progressing slowly. Earth work and rock excavations are in a fairly satisfactory condition, but the work of laying pipe is progressing in a painfully dilatory man. ner.
 "The cause of the slow progress in pipe laying seems to be that the contractors do not distribute the pipe along the line so as to be within reach of the pipe layers.
 During the month of October there WAS laid on section two about 923 lineal feet of pipe, leaving some 1000 feet still to lay.
 There appears no reasonable proba- bility that work will bs completed on De- cember 1, as called for in the contract.
 Respectfully submitted.
 R. A. CAIRNS. City Engineer.
 Mir Belfit of the Charles Thatcher Go appeared before the meeting in reference to the condition of things on their con- tract. He agreed with all the city attorney had said except that the pipe had not been furnished to the sub contractors as fast as they needed it. He did not think that they ever had to wait half an hour on this account. "The work is going along nicely | now," he said. 'and with another month | of fine weather would come near com | pleting the work by the first of Decem, ber." He said the company is making | every possible effort to complete the worb as soon as possible.
 The communication of the city engi neer was accepted and ordered on file The board adjourned until November 13.

Decrease from 1893, 199.
 It was learned to-day that owing to mistake in the enumeration of last year there was some trouble Tn comparing the list of 1894 with that of 1893 and that the reports as submitt sd last year were incor- rect and misleading. It was stated that in the returns of the late James Dough- erty, who was an enumerator in the third district, an error had been discovered which showed that the district had re- ceived several hundred dollars from the state fund more than it was entitled to.
 To ascertain if there was any truth in the rumor a representative of the DEMO- GRAF called on School Clerk Themas J. Moran and asked if he was prepared to verify the rumor. The clerk said it was all quite true and stated that in comparing the reports of the enumerators with those of last year he decided to ''street" the books of the different enumerators of 1898 and found when here ached Mir Dougherty' s list that while there are only 245 names | on his book his recapitulation called for | GAS. He was paid for that number and the district received its per capita on this basis. The per capita paid by the state for each child attending school is s2.25 As the ennmerator's book called for 39i | names more than was on the list, it vii | therefore be seen that the district received SSS6.50 more than it was entitled to Whether this money will be returned ol not is a matter which must be determined | later.
 This work does not come within tn, duties of Clerk Moran, but he made the in vestigation when it was discovered tha the enumeration this year showed a de crease from 1893.
 Chairman Wolff of the district commit tee saId this afternoon that it is possibl the discrepancy may be due to clerical CT TOT. The matter is now under investigation
 James Dougherty. in whose lists tn
 error was discovered. was killed by tn cars at the Bank street crossing of tn
 New England road some months ago.

A Peculiar Kind of Bottle.

What do you think of a bottle that
can be filed only once-a vial that is as
worthless after it's original contents
have been exhausted as tomato can?
A Boston inventor has devised such
bottle. Some time ago Park Square
pharmacist asked him to exercise his
ingenuity on bottle for the use of
proprietary fluid which could not be
filed second time, thus preventing
the manufacturers of limitations from
offering spurious preparations in such
of the special bottles as they might be
able to buy. The vital principle of the
new device is n cork float with rubber
pad at the back, located inside glass
cap in the neck, which closes instantly
whenever an attempt is made to fill it.
This float, once against the entrance, is
held in place by the weight of glass
ball attached to chain, having the
play of half an inch. The original con-
tents find their way out through in
terstices in the cap to a groove in the
neck of the bottle into which no knives
or tools can be thrust All parts of the
invention are of glass except the chain
and floats, and will be blown in when
the bottle is made.-Boston Transcript.
