LARGER WATER MAIN IS BEING LAID IN
 FACTORY DISTRICT
Recent Fire in Plant of Forge Company
 Showed Necessity for Change.

Upon the request of President A. H. Bullard. of the Fire Commission, the Hydraulic Go. is engaged in laying a twelve inch main from a main of equal size in Wordin avenue to Howard ave nue and southerly in Howard ave nue to the end of that thoroughfare. The distance is 1000 feet The new main was asked for because the recent fire at the works of the Bridgeport Forge Co. showed that four steamers would pump the small main almost dry. There was plenty of water from the present main in the street for the firemen to use until Chief Mooney swung a hose, wagon into position to rake the fire with Q gun nozzle mounted on it's deck
 When four lines Of hose were at tached from three steamers it was found that a two inch stream of not over 45 feet could be obtained while if there had been a good sized main on the street there would have been a stream of at least 200 feet to rake the burning ruins. By shutting down all other steamers which were pump ing from the main it would have been possible to use the gun nozzle at the fire.
 The wooden building had burned like finder at the start and the fire was stopped with single streams before the attempt to use the gun nozzle; but not until apparatus was placed in position to sweep the runs. which were throw ing off millions of sparks. was it evil dent that there was not water enough in the mains.
 President Bullard learned from the Bridgeport Forge Co. that the plant was to be rebuilt and he asked for another main of larger dimensions, which request was granted.
 Supt. s. P. Senior of the company stated this morning that the company was also laying 1900 feet of 12 inch pipe in Bruce avenue to connect the 24 inch main in Barnum avenue with the 12 inch main in Stratford avenue This is done to improve the service in the East End.

sesrina the cons.soiernee.

Of all her curious customs London cannot boast of a more singular one than that formerly so strictly adhered to at Holland House, one of the most historic old mansions in the British capital The last of the Lords Holland shot himself during fit of despond- ency. Everything pointed to a clear case of self murder. yet the Holland family could never be dissuaded from the notion that the old man had been murdered by some unknown assassin. Accordingly every night for years it was the custom for one of the family to go to the rear of the house punctu- ally at II o'clock and fire a gun for the purpose, it is said, of soaring the con science of the murderer. This curi- ous practice is a relic of mediaeval days in continental Europe, and the case in point is probably the only in stance where it has been noticed since the days of the crusades-

He podeee Cold Mutton.

Green, the English historian, one day asked a friend which of all the inventions of their dsy had done the most for the people as a whole. His friend guessed this and that, but the answer was:
 Beyond doubt, sixpenny photo graphs.''
 A reply involving quite as great an absurdity as that was made by Cecil Rhodes in answer to a lady who, seeking to draw him out, suggested that he owed his phenomenal rise to the impetus of noble sentiments.
 Madam" returned MT. Rhodes, '1 owe my fortune simply and solely to cold muttone
 Gold muttonI' 'gasped the lady. "Oh, MT. Rhodes, what do you mean?''
 When I was young" continued the South African millionaire, 'T was so dosed with cold mutton and I hated it so cordially that I resolved to grow rich in order to put it on one side for the rest of my life. Yes, madam, cold mutton was at the root of my success. Noble sentiments had nothing to do with it"

Scoggin was under indictment for the murder of one William Gerard, and an extract from a memorandum book in defend ants handwriting and found near the body ran as follows:
