CITY WATER SHUT OFF
OVER NIGHT
BUT DEAD WATER" rs LIKELY
TO FREEZE MANY SUR
FACE PIPES.

Announcement was made last even
ing by Albert Johnson, superintend-
ent Of the water service, that the
water would be turned off at 8 O'Clock
and would be turned on at s O'Clock
this morning again.
1t was deemed necessary to do this
to prevent the reservoir being drain.
cd, and in the event the reservoir was
drained the city would be practically
at the mercy Of any conhagration
that might break out. While there il
still quite a head Of water in the res
eryoir it was estimated that by to-
night or tomorrow it would be vir-
tually emptied if the water were moi
shut off.
But it is probable there will be a

town this morning, for the turning off
Of the water is likely to freeze many
pipes, for the reason that much "dead
water" is almost certain to remain in
many Of them. OF course those who
are fortunate enough to have their
pipes in such position that the drain
age is complete will be all right, but
it is probable that many will be
frozen. Two years ago the water was
also shut off at night for several
nights during bad cold spell
So general has the practice been
all over town the past few days Of
permitting the water to run that it
became necessary to do something if
water for fire protection purposes was
to be conserved II was simply fig

against possible bad FIRE was more

has arrived down stream as yet, but

that the ice, in formative shape, was
as far down the big stream as Goble

plenty to make things uncomfortable

Coming Anniversary Stimulates In
terest in Old Jabez Huntington
House=Whist Meets-Delesates to
Stonington Convention.

The drinking fountain to be erect
ed on the Little Plain in connection
with the anniversary in July, is in
honor of Hezekiah Perkins and Jabez
Huntington, who gave that tract OF
land to the city.
Jabez Huntington lived in the home
stead built by his grandfather, Simon
Huntington The House in the Lane,
as the ID. A. r. have marked 1t. Part
o. the house is supposed to be an Older
structure built by Governor Bradtord's
son and Joined to the main part
Joshua, the father of General ia
bez, lived here and traded on sea
and land more than any other man in
Norwich" His son Jabez also traded
with the West Indies and lost half his
fortune at the beginning of the reve-
lutionary war. partly by the capture
of his vessels.
Jabez Huntington was sent to the
colonial assembly in 1850 and was
speaker of the lower house for several
years. In 1777 he was made major
general of the state forces. President
Daniel c. Gilman tells the story of one
morning in 1774 when Mr.. and Mrs.
Huntington gathered their family
about them and told them of their de-
cision to give up comfort and fortune
for the army; and the sons, even ten
year old Zachariah, promised to stand
by their country in it's hour Of need.
These promises were kept; at one time
most of the bedding in the house was
sent to the soldiers. carpets were TAX
er up and sent for covering.
Zachariah, youngest son Of General
Jabez, next owned the homestead one
resident now living can remember on
his way to school seeing General
lack" every morning as he stood in
the side door after breakfast. This,
the Oldest Of the Huntington houses.
Is the only one owned by this family
of Huntingtons, children of Joshua,
which is in possession Of descend
ant of the original owner.
It has the characteristics OF the CO.
lonial house: Shutters that slide into
the walls; the heavy oak floors with
nails hand wrought in England the
double door with its brass knocker
said to have been used by General
Washington; and the quaint staircase
with its different kinds Of spindles.
