 The arguments in the injunction case of Thomas Weary vs the borough of Nauga- tuck were concluded before Judge Brad street yesterday and the injunction was not granted. The question hinged on the legality of the highway and whether. when the property was deeded to Weary, the stairs In question were then on the highway. Attorney O'Nelll warned the opposing counsel to touch the stairs at their peril and Judge Stoddard as strenu- ensly insisted that they would remove them.
 On the estate of Mary Heffrin contest was begun this morning as to certain claims against the estate and Judge Lowe decided to appoint commissioners. Hear ing on their appointment will be given January 19.
 The foreclosure case against B. J.

WAFER AT THE GREEN.
Tho New Water Supply Tested and Four
 Streams Thrown Over goo Feet.

Tho New Water Supply Tested and Four
 Streams Thrown Over goo Feet.
 The first public test of the new water supply was held to-day at the green. and the success of the test fully realized the anxious expectations of all interested. Before two o'clock there were assembl ed in the council room a gathering of the representative men of the city. includ- ing the water committee, smem- bers of the common council, the city officials. water commissioners, City Attorney Burpee, Chief Engineer Snagg and his assistants, and last but not least, Mayor Kilduff and Engineer Cairns.
 Mayor Kllduff spoke or the resson of the gathering, that 1t was the first official test of the new supply and he was sure the people congratulated themselves and on the results. He closed with aeulogy of Engineer Cairns who he said had given the matter vast amount of attention and who for eighteen months has seen as much trouble as any man on earth.
 Engineer Cairns was greeted with ap- plause as he told of the trial about to be- gin. Ev,rything he said was in perfect order for the test. They all filed out then to the hydrant near Dexter's corner when Chief Snagg had five fifty feet lines of hose attached to the hydrant. It was just twenty minutes past two when Chief Snagg turned the water on. For a moment there was low rumbling sound, when with n rush the water poured through the four one and one half inch nozzles, which by the way are the largest nozzels used The pressure registered ninty-five pounds within two minutes and four streams were shooting into the air 150 feet. When one hundred pounds pressure wss reached it required extra men at the nozzles to control the | force of the water.
 Up North Main street was turned one stream and a solid mass of wrter fell over 2U0 feet away on the road bed In ten minutes the streams were shut off and a test of one line of hose was made.
 \ stream from one line was thrown, al l10 pounds pressure, with an inch and | one-half nozzle, 19S feet An inch and thre quarters nozzle was then put on, the | stream with a powerful volume of watel went clear up North Main, distance ot | 2l6 feet. The next test was held at the | hydrant at St Johns church. Here three streams were put on and test made oi the height the water could be thrown. | Here the streams were first turned ou and the lines were sending out strong streams when the nozzle held by fireman William Keegan swung to one side knock Ing him flat. Then for minute there wal a rough and tumble between the nozzl, and fireman. Fireman William CassiI went to his assistarce and h, too was promptly sent to tht road The line then burst in two place, and when the water was shut of the host looked like pre'zel it was twisted in SC many shapes. The fremen were unin jured aside from a severe wetting, bu Keegan had a narrow escape dodging th, l flying nozzle, which was also twisted ou If shape.
 The last test was made near St John church, where a stream was thrown withi twenty-five feet of the top. height O l79 feet.

Kelly Says

The consumption of Sugar in the United States last year was 2.024. .64S tons. This Is an average of sixty-seven pounds to each individual. and according to the old cus- tom of buying sugar by the dollars worth would cost each person SS. .05, or a total of S1S0, ,030, 900 a year to sweaten the entire population of the United States.
 Now, the new custom that was intro duced by KELLY the baker two years ago. that families could buy Sugar by the hun dred at wholesale price (the difference be- tween wholesale and retail price is 10 cents on the dollar) which if all the people would take KELLY'S advice in buying their Sugar by the hundred at KELLY'S quotations, we would save SIS, ,000. 900 a year on Sugar.
 Remember. am the only one in Water bury who is recognized as wholesaler of sugars and the only one in the city who buys sugar direct from the New York Sugar Reclining company. My price to-day is S4 12 hundred for Granulated and 3.s2 a hundred for White Extra c.
