The Whereabouts of V. K. Csrpsnte', {,
 the Sewer Inspector. Mystery.
 Where is N K. Carpenter, the sewer ir- spector? About SIX weeks ago he left his room. at No II Meadow street. and noth- ing has been heard of him since. He had a furnished room at the residence of Louis A Reed and when he left he took the key with him. leaving the door locked. At first 1t was thought that Mir Carpenter might be in his room and MT Reed broke in the door and found that the place had not been used for some time. \ trunk and several articles of wearing apparel were left in the room, which show that the man must have intended returning to the place. Several people have called at the house to see Mir Carpenter since he left and quite good many letters have been delivered to his address. MT Reed has made inquiries from everyone whom he thought would be likely to know any thing of the mans whereabouts. but so far has failed to find anyone who could give him the slightest information concerning the mans whereabouts. Contractor Me Manus was asked to-day II he knew any thing of MT Carpenter. He said he could not tell where the man was. He had not seen him for some tune.

HEALTH MATTERS

F. J9 MeGrath Makes . Charge Axatuss ths HsAith Omosrs and CisinsLs Dam- The board of health held its regular monthly meeting at o'clock yesterday
 afternoon. The monthly bills amounting to s490. TO were ordered paid. F. I. Mc-
 Gath presented the following communica- ton:
 To the Honorable Board of Health:
 The undersigned will claim damages to the amount of sl06. of the city of Water bury, If your honorable board do not com pensate him for damages done to his prop erty at 6S0 East Main street. by your san-
 itary inspector, Harry Moses. He put the
 notice of scarlet fever on the wrong tene-
 ment and damaged the door SO that it must be painted over, and prevented me from renting my tenement over where the notice was pasted. There was no fever on that side of the building at all.
 P. McGRArH. 692 Fest Main street. Mir McGrath appeared before the meet ing and said that the first intimation he
 had of scarlet fever being in the building
 was on November 6 when the inspector posted the house. The notice was put upon the east side of the house. when the
 case of scarlet fever was in a tenement on
 the west side. Mir McGrath took the nc-
 tice down, he said. and showed the inspec-
 tor the mistake and asked him to place it | at the entrance to the tenement where the sickness had been reported, but the in-
 spector refused. He also called on the health officer. but could get no satisfac- | ton from him. MT McGrath lost con- siderable in rents on account of the mis- placing of the sign and some of his
 tenants are now finding fault because the tenement where the child was ill with the
 sickness has not yet been fumigated and
 the children in the other parts of the block
 are not allowed to attend school. The
 matter was referred to the law committee. The clerk was was instructed 10 adver-
 tise in the daily papers for proposals for

 Clerk Grady read the following commu. nication from Contractor McMauus:
 WATERBURY. Dec 5. 1894. To the Honorable Board of Sewer Com
 
 Gentlemen: Before taking any action on my contract for building trunk sewer desire to present few matters for the consideration of this board. My contract calls for the work to be finished on or be- fore October l. 1894. I accepted the job in good faith and would have finished on time had not additional labor besn added to my work.
 After starting the construction of the sewer the city engineef decided to put ip sand pipes" I was given the job. This was slow, tedious work, and called for an immense amount of extra labor. making it impossible for me to finish my contract af the time specified. There would not have been any delay if this extra contract had not been added to the original one. l was in no way responsible for the change in the plans. and it is easily seen that it would be unjust aud unfair to impose upon me penalty for delay that could not be avoided.
 Yours respectfully.
 EDWARD McMANUs. After consid rable discussion the board voted to rescind it's former action imposing a forfeit of s per day on Mir McManus for overtime.

CROWNS DEATH WARRANT.

l. the Old On~, Dating the Execution
 at August a4. Sufficient:
 Warden Woodbridge has not yet been officially notified of the refusal of the board of pardonS to commute Cronin's sentence. and therefore, is in doubt as to his mode of procedure. Whether the old .Xecution warrant, which fixes the date at August 24. is sufficient for an execution in December or whether 8 new one should be made out by the clerk of the superior court. the warden does not know. He has delayed consulting his attorney in expec- ta'ion of receiving some official notiica- ton. but will take counsel with his attor- ney to-day. This is not matter of red tape. The warden considers that in so ss- rious matter as an execution all legal re- quirements should be complied with.
 Warden Woodbridge has filed with Ex- ecutive Clerk Rood n communication, and it has been forwarded to Governor Morris. asking that a commission be appointed to investigate the condition of nine prisoners adjudged to be suffering from insanity.
