WANT CHEAPER WATER.
Manufacturing Concerns May
 Ask For a Level Rate.

If Such Request is Granted the
 Smaller Consumers Must Probably
 Pay More Than Now-The Water
 Question Has Always Been a
 Troublesome One, as Many People
 Think They Are Paying Too Much.
 There is movement on foot among the manufacturing concerns to de- mand level rate schedule of prices for all water used through meters at their plants, the price to be the mini mum rate now charged for any water consumed in the shops. This would reduce the water receipts from large consumers to such an extent that it would hardly pay to inspect the meters they use. The small consumers have always been complaining that they were being treated unfairly i'll the price of water, but if the shops win ln this contest owners of houses will ma themselves in 8 worse box than ever, for the deficit in the gross re- ce1ptS will have to be made up and there will be no place to get it except ID private families and tenement blocks. But no change has yet been made in the cost of water, nor is there likely to be. All the water depart ment can do is charge the rate speci- lied in the rules of the water depart ment until new schedule of prices is adopted. When that comes, if we ever see it, the burden should be light ened some on the owners of tenement houses as we'll as on the proprietors of large plants.

CITY NEWS.

Special forecast for Connecticut: Fair tonight and Sunday; probably rain on the south coast; warmer; fresh to brisk winds.
 Miss Nellie Boucher of New Haven, with her cousins, the Misses McGrath of 23 West Liberty street, returned home to-day.
 Judge Lowe and his wife left town yesterday for few weeks vacation. Meanwhile his offices will be over hauled and when completed will be some of the finest in the city.
 The rolling mills of the Scovill and Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing companies are idle to-day. Business is good in the other departments, but things are not rushing in the rolling mills.
 A woman named Louise Killiniski, living in the Brooklyn district created terrible scene on Bank street this noon. The woman was deeply under the influence of intoxicants and when taken into custody she resisted stoutly. A passing wagon had to be engaged and into this she was put after a great ASAI ddo tdhSh tO tAG SldliOu uouSt.
 The hands in the north mill of the Scovill Manufacturing Go are wonder ing if their petition for a nine hour day Saturdays had anything to do with the vacation they are enjoying to- day. Last week they petitioned for a nine hour day every Saturday and the prayer of the petitioners was granted without a murmur. This pleased the help very much and many of them com mented favorably on it since and took great pleasure in telling their friends who work in other places what fine treatment they get at Scovills. But the petitioners got a rude shock yes terday when they were informed that there would be no work for them to- | day, so that instead of a nine hour day without any reduction of wages they had whole day off without any pay. The petition may not have had any thing to do with stopping the mill to- day, but you cannot make some of the men believe that. Anyway their friends are poking fun at them about that nine hour day Saturdays in the porth mill.

SLAIN MAN FOUND.
Robbery. It Is Thought, Preceded Mur-
 der in Woods.

der 1n WOODS.
 Mount Kisco. Nov S.-In the woods near the Bedford reformatory for Wo> men yesterday morning was found the body of man who apparently had been robbed and murdered. There is no clue to his identity. He seemed to be an Italian. His clothing was of good quality. He was smooth shayen and about 80 years old.
 It is believed the body was taken in wagon to the spot where it was found and then thrown into the bushes. The point selected was unfrequented.
 The body was found by Hall B. War ing of Bedford, who was hunting. It was face upward. The brush did not appear to have been walked through. Branches and stalks were bent under the body, as if it had fallen from above.
 Investigation showed that the nose had been crushed in, as If by heavy blow When the body was turned over three bullet wounds were found. Two of these were in the back of the head and the third in the back, below the shoulders. Any of the wounds would have caused death.
 In the right hand was a small pack ct containing papers and letters, which when dried out and examined may be of value to the police. They were written in copying ink and the rain had caused the ink to run. One of the envelopes apparently was addressed to Portchester. The pockets of the man had been turned inside out. indicating a search after he was dead. There is an Italian settlement not far from the spot where the body was found, but nobody living there will admit knowing the man.

WAITING FOR LEGIsLATURE.
Action on Granting Licenses to ss
 looms Near Churches


 looms Near Churches
 Prosecuting Agent Pierce was asked to-day if the county commissioners had taken any action regarding sa- looms situated within POO feet of pub lie buildings, churches, eSc, and he said that he had been informed that action will be deferred until 1t is seen what the legislature will do in the matter. If the law is repealed the applications will be granted and if 1t is not the dealers so situated will have to pay for the interval they were in business without a license. If they refuse to pay their bonds will be sued. This is the first official statement to this effect
 Regarding. the prosecutions in the city court this morning, MT Pierce said that there was nothing left him to do but give the lie to MT Carmody when he openly intimated he, Pierce, was prompting the witnesses. He thought MT Carmody would not condescend to such thing. He believed the wit nesses told the truth but their man. ner in telling it did not impress the court favorably. Had these prosecu- tions succeeded, MT Pierce said he would have brought four complaints against each one of the accused, two for September and two for Septem- beer q. As to having any previous knowledge of the witnesses before they became the instruments of prose cution, Mir Pierce said he had none whatsoever; never saw them before.

COAL IS SCARCE.
Waterbury Dealers Selling At
 .$2. 50 the Quarter Ton
STILL SIP A TON IN BOSTON

News From the Mining Regions Says
 It Is Being Taken Out Faster Than
 Ever Ninety Per Cen. of tho
 Amount Mined Is Being Shipped tc
 New York.
 The price of hard coal remains the same to-day, $2.50 for quarter of q ton. One of the local dealers said that it is the general opinion among coal dealers that the price of anthra- cite will go higher unless some arrives here in short time.
 Bostsn, Mass. Nov 7.-The retail coal dealers of Boston to-day began selling hard coal for $9. For several weeks anthracite has been held at SIP.
 Scranton. Pa, Nov S.-It is asserted by the operators llerc that 90 per cent of the anthracite coal mined in tho largest part of the Pennsylvania coal fields is being shipped to the New York markets. In this city and it's immediate vicinity the daily output is more than 100000 tons. The 10 per cent of this output consists of poor grade of washery coal and this is be- ing sent to the western markets. Tl;a coal companies have been pursuing this method of distribution since op- erationS were resumed.
 The report that New York was in danger of another coal famine was re- ceived with surprise by the operators here.
 Mir Phillips, superintendent of the Lackawanna, said the reports were idle rumors or the inventions of retail coal dealers who did not want to seln coal ait normal prices.
 Since October 27, when the mining of coal was resumed, every mine in the anthracite region has been in op- eration almost steadily. The celebra- tion of Mitchell day, All Saints day and election day did not close the col- lieries .on those three days. The min4 CTS worked on election day, and with the exception of a few miners at Ha- zleton they worked All Saints day. On Mitchell day the miners worked a. half day Tie oUtnnt Of hard coal for the eleven days the mines have been in operation h:S really been larg- CT than at any other time in the min- ing year
 Dr J. l.. Rice, one of the largest fn- dividual operators. complained yester- day that he was unable to obtain alL the miners he wanted Tn this city. however, probably four hundred min. CTS. who were locked out when opera tions were resumed. are still idle. and they are willing to work if employ ment is offered to them

Watkins and Bishop Spalding, members If the coal strike commission. ret.I;ped to this. city. this morning MT Watkins lives here and Bishop Spalding will remain here un- til the commission resumes it's work on November 14. Mir Watkins inform- cd Carroll D. Wright. recorder of the commission. that every individual operator in the Lackawanna and Wy oming valley would be represented bv counsel at the hearings of the board in this city.
 It is expected the sessions will cons tinue for two weeks or longer. Ar engagements have been made to hold the meetings in the superior court room. These sessions will be public. The members of the commission will arrive in this city next Thursday.
