WATER COMPANY MEETING.


An Important Enlargement of the Means
for Supplying Water to the Center Of the
City-An Immense New Main for Whitney
Avenue-rhe New Power station.
The regular monthly meeting of the
directors OF the New Haven Water
company was held yesterday afternoon
at the office on Crown street. Nothing
but routine business was transacted,
and the meeting was a short one, Moth
ing was done as to the election of a
director, as 1t was felt that there was
no haste in the matter,
Resolutions We're passed on the death
of the late Eli Whitney, an ex-presi-
dent and for many years director and
the founder of this important COM
pany.
One of the most important pieces of
work which the Water company has
been engaged in the past year is that
now in progress in the laying of a great
water main from the reservoirs to the
center of the city through Cliff street and
Whitney avenue. The old twelve-inch
main is being taken up and twenty
four-inch main substituted. This will
greatly increase the supply Of water
for the central part of the city and
not only will the volume of water be
greatly increased, but the service for
fire purposes also be greatly improved,
The central part of the city will be
a great gamer in both respects, as the
flow of water will be much greater,
both in volume and power, The work
in question is now in progress in Cliff
street and it is expected that before
the ground freezes the new big main
will be completed as far as Trumbull
street. Next spring the remainder of
the work will be completed.
The Water company has also erected
and has nearly completed a fine new
power station near the old power sta
ton in the vicinity Of Whitney Lake
The new power station will have a
pumping capacity of many millions OF
gallons of water per day. 1t WIN great
| ly reinforce the old power station, which
will not be given up, but will be used
| in conjunction with the new.

EsoA1uops ARE SCARCE.

They Come Now From Greenwich Bay
Prospects Fair for Good Catch of Ma
tives in Some Harbors Along the Con-
necticut Shore when the Season Opens.
Most of the escallops now received
here come from Greenwich Bay, R. l.,
but the season is likely to be brief
one this fall. The principal beds lie
off Chippewanoxette Island, and south
of Buttonwoods, but the supply is said
to be very limited. Not many more
than fifty sailboats We're engaged in
catching the snappy bivalves Monday
and Sunday, and Tuesday morning the
fleet was not increased.
Nearly every year the dealers give
out the information that the 'catch"
will be a poor one, in the hope of
keeping up prices, but the number of
boats engaged in the industry is a
pretty sure indication of the plenti-
fitness or scarcity of escallops. Two
years ago, the ''big season. as escallop
men are pleased to refer to it, the fleet
that dredged the waters of Greenwich
bay for days and weeks comprised
three times the number of boats now
occupied. At that time boats came
from Tiverton, Block Island and other
places, but now almost all those that
are catching the shell fish are owned
in East Greenwich and Apponaug.
The law allows only twenty-five bush
els to be taken by single boat and
man in one day. So far it has been
possible for one man to make O. full
"catch" but it is thought that before
the week is out ii will be impossible for
one person to capture twenty-five bush
els between sunrise and sunset.
The retail price is twenty-five cents
per quart in East Greenwich, and fried
escallops are furnished in the restau-
rants and hotels to all corners One
dollar per gallon is the wholesale price,
but dealers believe these figures will
increase within a, week, owing to the
scarcity of the supply.
Greenwich bay has been one of the
best known places along the coast for
thousands of bushels We're taken from
| the waters in a single season. The law
protects escallops against the encroach-
| September, but it is said that the deli
cious little shell fish find far more
destructive enemy in the starfish that
for a year or two has filed the waters
of the bay. The fishermen believe that
some legislation is necessary to exter-
inmate starf1sh or the latter will prac-
tically destroy the escallop industry.
The season along the Connecticut
shore does not begin until October /,
although some persons now run the
risk of prosecution by taking the es-
| callops from Westport harbor and
other places. Greenwich and Norwalk
are places where escallops formerly
abounded in great quantities, but OF
| late years few have been caught in
| these harbors. This year in the vicin-
| lily of the local breakwater the escal-
| lops are quite plenty and prospects are
| fair for some natives if they are left
alone for a few weeks more But the
best native escallops are those that
come from Westport harbor and there
| appears to be prospects for a large
catch there.-Bridgepor Farmer.

A Maine Yankees Scheme of Providing
Them With Iroa Jib Rooms.


Maine Yankees Scheme of Providing
Them With Iroa Jib Booins.
There is down east fisherman who
recently evolved brainy scheme for
making Holsters grow rapidly, and to
this man the almond eyed Celestial"
will have TO tip his hat in future.
Captain j. r, Mcdonald of the
schooner Morning Light arrived at this
port Sunday night with $500 Holsters,
During the recent trip of the schooner
the captain put into the little fishing
hamlet Of South Addison to see if any
of the inhabitants had any Holsters to
dispose Of. He found man named
Crowley, who had several hundred for
sale, and trade was Immediately
agreed upon, Captain Mcdonald laid
his schooner alongside Of Crowley lob
ster cars, and the transfer of Holsters
began. The purchaser noticed that the
Holsters were not any too large, so he
thought it might be good plan to
measure one.
Possibly many of The Argus readers
are not familiar with the methods en-
ployed in measuring Holsters, so few
words of explanation on this point may
not DO amiss, AT one end of a lobster s
body is little pointed projection which
the fishermen call "jibboom. In
measuring lobster the distance is taken
from the end of the "jibboom" to the
tip of his tail. If it is l0I inches or
over, the lobster is o. X. If it is even
sixteenth of an inch less than this, the
lobster is all wrong-in the state of
Maine-and it is apt to prove very ex
pensive for any man being found with
many of them in his possession.
Captain Mcdonald picked up one Of
the wriggling crutaceans and applied
his measuring stick, when, greatly to
his surprise, the Holsters "jibboom
began to disappear inside of his she'll.
On making closer examination Cap
tain Mcdonald found this particular
lobster's jibboom was made Of metal.
On pulling it from the shell he discov
cred that it consisted of piece of a
rusty iron nail filed down to point,
and as the Holsters were green the de-
ceptiou Wouiu oIiy 10 uisVoNolcu NY q
close scrutiny Of course the object of
the trick was at once apparent, being
simply to make the lobster 10R inches
long.
On examining 40 Of the Holsters
which had been placed on board the
schooner, Captain Mcdonald found ten
of them with Iron constitutions, SO
L speak, and he promptly threw them
overheard.
A man with ingenuity enough to
make such an alteration on lobster, as
just related, should never waste his
time in little down east fishing ham,
let. He ought to go to Chicago, where
he could find broader field for his tai
nts.-Eastern Argus

This Cabman Should lie In a Museum.

He had been carrying a passenger
around town i'll his cab all the after
noon, with frequent stops, at each of
which the fare" made an Intellectual
attempt to qnench his abnormal thirst,
and he was not too sober when he en-
gagged the cab. Finally the driver came
to the down town hotel where the man
cabnan the passenger went to his room.
Then he wanted to buy drinks for him
self and the driver.
Excuse me, said the driver, "but
l don t want a drink, and l don't be-
lieve you do, either.
The passenger insisted until the driver
rang the bell and ordered soda for his
customer. Then the inebriate individual
pulled roll of bills from his pocket and
told the driver to take his fare out of
that. The driver refused, and told the
man lie wanted only So.
With a swing of his arm the drunken
man scattered the bills around the room
with the reply:
There, take your So.
The driver rang the bell and called
for boy. When the bellboy entered,
he driver told him to pick up the mon
ey and give him So. The boy did SO and
handed the drunken man the roll, in
which was $3.50. The drunken man
apologized and handed the driver bill,
telling him that was for himself. The
driver called on the boy to witness the
transaction, went ont with the bellboy,
turned the key in the lock, left the key

1t is pretty generally understood
that there is to be a supreme effort
ON the part of the high license men
in this State during the next year, to
kill the present prohibition law, and
substitute high license. 1t will be
remembered that the same thing was
done in Maine some years ago, and
after trial of only two short years,
they returned to prohibition, and
there is little doubt but that, in the
event Of the high license men win
ming in the next legislature, we would
repeat the experience in Maine By re-
turning to prohibition as soon as pos
sible. The fact is that, notwlth
standing .he comparative laXity in
the enforcement of the law, it has
proven itself generally more salts
factory to temperance people than
high license, because it prevents the
open saloon aud the unchecked sale
of liquors and admitting that it is
not always enforced as it ought to be,
1t is on the statute book. and is per-
petual menace to its vioators.
