HARTFORD BUILDERS UNITE.

Will Fight the Master Plumbers Asso- ciation
 Hartford, Aug. 1.-The master build
 CTS of this city are incensed at the rise in prices of plumbers supplies and be- lieve that the increase is largely due to the Master Plumbers association which was formed in this city sometime ago. The builders have now formed them- selves into an organization for the pur- pose of protecting themselves and pro- testing against the action of the plumb CTS.
 Il. B. Philbrick is the president of the new organization and said to a reporter last evening that he thought the ad- vance in the price of plumbers supplies was wholly unwarranted and much be- yond what it should be to meet the ad- vance in the general market Mir Phil brick was of the opinion that the as- sociation of master plumbers would not last long, for they had advanced prices so outrageously that it would fall of it's own weight. The big advance in prices he said, had caused many of the con- tracts to build to be cancelled, and large amount of work which it was in- tended to do this year had been post poned.
 A committee of the builders has been appointed to confer with the plumbers and see if something cannot be done to reduce the price of plumbing work The committee has not yet met the plumb CTS, but report is expected from them next Monday evening.

DERBY 6. WATERRURY 4

Derby Aug. 11.-Derby won from Waterbury to-day by punching hits and sacrificing. Clancy was due to pitch to-day, but he sprained his right shoul- der in practice before the game and Miran had to take his place. Miriam was superb at critical times, for al though Waterbury made fourteen hits they were not prolific in run getting. Tn three different innings with but one out Waterbury made three consecutive hits in each inning, but the nine hits yielded but one run on account of bril- liant fielding The features were the work of Meaney in left field and Bat tam at third Killeen made home run with Denny on base. Kennedy and Denny led in stick work. Score:

ONE OF THE SURVIVORS.
He Recalls the Terrible Disaster

He Recalls the Terrible Disaster at Norwalk
 One of the survivors of the Norwallz disaster thus writes to the Bridgeport Standard:
 The writer noticed in the Standa1 q recently an allusion to the great disas- ter at Norwalk on May 16, 1853, at the time of which the writer was on the ill., fated train. We left New York at a. m., Boston express, and came along all right until we reached Norwalk and then went into the creek. The draw bridge opened to allow a vessel to pass The writer was in the last car but one The forward end of the car broke off Cars were not constructed as strongly in those days as now. We went to work immediately to aid those in the cars by removing the top and getting out those who were alive, many being drowned A large number of physicians were on board returning from a convention in New York. The writer was then twen- ty-eight years of age and resided in Ridgefield, and was on a business trip to Bridgeport. The loss of life was very great-I think forty-two or forty four-and I assisted in carrying the bodies to the freight train then at the station. The cars piled up one on top of the other in the narrow channel. The engine was buried in the mud, but the engineer and fireman jumped and say ed their lives. It was terrible scene, and is recalled by that at Peck's Mills last Sunday. Many prominent physi- clans lost their lives in the disaster at Norwalk, some forty-six years ago. I am one of the few yet living who was participant in the disaster.

President Wilson Called the Matter 10 The
Attention Of the Council.
TOWN TREASURER RAYS SUGGESTION.
Il Was That a Thorough Investigation Should Be
Made This Method Was Satisfactory 10 Mr..
Hunier, Who Was Formerly Tax Collector.

At the meeting OF the East Provi-
dence town council held yesterday af-
ternoon, Town Clerk George f. Hunter,
who was also tax collector for 1896 and
several preceding years, presented long
lists Of personal property taxes as
uncollectable. these lists covering the
years 1894, 1895 and 1896. and amounts
ing to s4O0 or $500 each year.
President Wilson stated that it had
been rumored from time TO time that
there was "A discrepancy i'm the ac-
counts of the town treasurer and the
former tax collector, and he desired to
know If there really was discrepancy.
He wanted to know III what was being
carried along from year To year as as
sets were of the value of which they
were supposed TO be. He did not want
To go out OF Office the coming spring
with five years assessments still unset
tied.
In answer TO AN inquiry Town Treas
urer David ;. Ray stated that he knew
of no difference between his accounts
and those of the tax collector. Mr.. Hun
ter also stated that he never paid any
money to Treasurer Ray for which he
had not received credit.
According to the town treasurer $
books there is apparently large
amount due from the unpaid taxes of
1894 1895 and 1886. Mr.. Hunter is not
the tax collector at present and the
matter has dragged along for years.
The town council cannot order an In
vestigation OF the books of the collector
without the permission OF the collector,
but for the benefit of al concerned IL
was thought best that the true facts
should be known and IL was under
stood that there would be no opposition
to an examination of the books.
President Wilson asked what was the
wish of the town council and Treasurer
Ray suggested that the council should
appoint a committee from it's members
To make thorough investigation. The
president asked Mr.. Ray II he wanted
this done for his own benefit, and Mr.
Ray said that he did. Mr. Hunter said
this was satisfactory to him, and ar
rangements we're made for taking ur
this work. and the investigation may
be concluded within week.
