ARTEsIAN WELL ON GREEN.
City officials Plan g Substitute for Old
Pump.

According to Mayor studley yester-
held in the mayors office between his
honor Controller Rowe, President Hen
ry T. Blake of the park board and a
member of the Bennett Memorial Foun-
tain commission, there was never any
intention Of doing away with the we'll
water on the green but instead plans
have for some time been under con-
sideration for not only retaining the
well water but lettering it by driving
new we'll down about 100 feet.
With the coming erection Of the Ben
nett fountain on the old pump site, the
old pump must go. As to making the
new fountain sound 1t must be built
solid, no pump can be placed in it.
When the plans for the monument were
made public the city oticials at once
got busy on retaining the well if not
in the same place then as close as pos
sible.
BY the plans for the new fountain
city water was to be furnished to the
thirsty, the pipes being arranged so
that it would flow continuously, Even
with the steady flow, however, the
water could not be cooled because the
solidity Of the fountain prevented the
tanks being installed. The well nearby
then seemed the only solution and af-
ter illustration by Louis Bassett, an
artesian we'll driver, yesterday, Mr..
Bassett was instructed to bring in an
estimate Of the cost.
The artesian we'll plan is already in
use in Edgewood park, where Mayor
Studley says it is greatly appreciated.
The well there is eighty feet deep. The
one on the green is estimated for 100
feet under ground with a six-ineh flow
pipe. This should bring the water to
within ten feet of the surface.

ing ahead Of the other workmen. He
tempered with the oven, which is heat
ed by gas, and it is said struck a match
csusing an explosion. The force of the
explosion was sufficient to wreck the
japanning oven and smash the glass in
several of the windows in the japanning
room.
Ruoppolo was thrown back several
feet by the shock and he was found on
his back lying on the floor. connols
was looking out Of the window when
the oven exploded He cannot tell just
what his shopmate was doing.
The officials Of the company yester-
day declared that Ruoppolo had no du-
tie, to perform in connection with the
oven whatever, and the explosion caus-
ed by him was due to his own careless
ness.
The father OF the dead boy is employ
Ell as laborer in the factory Medi-
cal Examiner Bartlett reported that the

HEAD-oN COLLISION.
Freight Engine Run Into by Passenger
Train at WnIIingfhrd,

While a freight engine was on the
down track, near the Wallingford sta
ton early yesterday morning, a pas
Esenger collided with it head on, Both
locomotives were badly wrecked, and
the fireman of the freight was slightly
injured
The passenger is known as the mail
train and consisted of two passenger
coaches and two mail cars. There were
quite number Of passengers aboard,
but aside from a shaking up all es-
capped injury.
The blame for the accident has not
been definitely ascertained, but it is
thought chat the freight engine should
have been off the track before the pas
|senger came along as the mail was on
time.
An excursion train from Meriden
with the Colonial club bound for Bran
ford aboard was held about an hour,
but other trains We're sent down on
the other track around the wreck with
out loss of time.
