A break 10 the main line of pipe on
Eddy hill from the pumping station to
the stand pipe occurred, Monday night,
letting the water out of the whole sys-
TEN in short order. By shutting the
gate nearest the break and attaching the
pump on the island that runs by water
power, the water supply was re. estab-
lished in most OF the town. The break
was remedied by new piece of pipe and
the water turned on this morning. The
new electric pump at the station works
admirably and the water power pump
proves to be an important attachment
for an emergency like that of Monday.
The storm of a week ago gave the
Somerset Traction Co. an admirable op-
portunity of testing the powers of their
new rotary snow pillow. During the
day, Wednesday, the 4th instant, no at
tempt was made to clear the track other
than to run local cars up Madison Ave,
a high wind prevailing. At an early
hour, Thursday, a crew started out with
the new pillow and at 10 a. m. they we're
in Madison village with clear track be-
hind them, and this with the power at
its lowest ebb of the season. The new
pillow seems to fill all expectations and
assure the keeping open of the road
under all snow storm conditions.
Rev. Daniel Onstott's lecture upon the
subject, "The Battle of Waterloo" was
delivered in the Methodist Church
course, Monday evening, to large audi
enee Of attentive listeners. This great
event in history was admirably treated.
The descriptions of various phases OF
the fierce struggle between contendiug
forces, marshalled by the great captains
of the times, were graphic and impress
sive. Although defeated, Napoleon
was the central figure of the story
throughout. The speaker while bear
Ing witness to his greatness and
valor, spared him not In his foibles, his
faults or his wickedness. This famous
battle has been and continues to be
fruitful topic for recital, for description
and for argument. No event In modern
history had greater influence upon
Europe and the world than this decisive
conflict.
