DOWN AN INCH A DAY.
Reservoir Shows Steady Loss-venturi Meters Give Average Consumption of Over Two Million Gallons.

A steady drop of an inch per day in the water at Fairview reservoir is recorded by the measurements made by Supt. John J. Corkery and the same rate of fall has been maintained also since the first of August. when the use of hose for sprinkling was prohibited. When measured Wednes- day the reservoir was down 147 12 inches from full pond. The rainfall of Tuesday morning measured .26 of an inch. but did not show anything in the pond, as the loss of an inch was recorded as usual
 Since the Venturi meters were start ed last Friday, an accurate record of the amount of water used has been secured, from which 1t is shown that the city is using an average of over two million gallons in twenty-four hours. In the five days and four hours in which the meters have been run ming since last Friday they have meas ured 10,150,000 gallons of water used.
 The meters show that between the hours of 12 midnight and a. m. water is used at the rate of 1.400, GOO per day, and for the rest of the day the rate of use is 2,50O,oO0 per day. By reference 70 the dial on the meters it is possible to tell at what hours in the day the use of water is greatest as a mark is made in ink for each ten minute period. Superintendent Corkery is now figuring on the problem of what should occasion such a large use of water in the hours from midnight to early morning.

SUNK OFF WATCH HILL. !
Barge Went to the Bottom with Load of Oyster SheIls-Two Men on Board Rescued.

Arriving at Providence on wednes- day from New York, Capt Frank NJ. Sutton of the tug Roger Williams re- ported the loss of the barge William H. McClave off Watch Hill last Thurs day. The crew of two men was res cued from the sunken barge by the tug through quick work on the part of Captain Sutton. as the barge went to the bottom in less than twenty min uteS after her master signalled that she was in distress
 Although the McClave sank in a smooth sea and in broad daylight, both of the men in her would have drowned but for the rush of the Roger Williams to the rescue. for neither of the en- dangered mariners could swim stroke and the barge was without anything on which they could have relied for safety. She had no boat of any kind and not a life preserver aboard. al- though subject to the laws which call for lifeboats and life preservers. Her captain was James J. McGinnity of Providence.
 The McCIave, which was built in 1868, and is of the taype known as a North river barge. finished loading cargo of oyster shells in East Provf- dence last Wednesday and the Roger Williams took her and the Clinton Point( another shell-laden barge. in tow for New Haven. Thursday fore noon the tow was about five miles east of Watch T1ill and about two miles off
  the sea calm.
 About Il o'clock Captain McGinnity climbed up on the deckload and began shouting. at the same time waving a coat wildly. Captain Sutton was far ahead, at the end of a long tow line, but heard the captains cries for help. By the energetic waving of the coat Captain Sutton knew that something must be wrong with the McClave and without stopping to throw off the haw ser connecting the tug with the Clinton Point, the head barge. the tug circled around, and was soon alongside the McClave. Get away quick, my old sled is going to the bottom right now exclaimed Captain MsGinnity as he and his deck hand landed on the tugs deck and after two flying leaps to safety. He spoke truly. for as the Williams backed away the barge broke in two in the middle and deposited herself and her 10000 bushels of oyster shells on the bottom, 20 fathoms below the surface.
 The McClave was owned in New York. Her wreckage is beginning to come ashore on the beach between Watch Hill and Pleasant View.

 In addition to the manufacture of engines and other operations, the new company will have the manufacturing Of spare parts and the repairing for all submarines that have been built in this country by the Electric Boat Co.,, which will be a constantly growing business as the number of boats in use increases. A representative com mittee of New London men have made careful investigation of this matter and will within a very short time be in position to place 1t before the people of New London and Groton. with a view to securing subscriptions from such people would interest themselves in making a new era for New London and Groton.
 To a residential community like New London and Groton a peculiarly attractive feature of this company's business is the type of men employed They are very high grade mechanics and specialists, receiving maximum wages in their several lines and they will be an orderly and intelligent ad- ditiOn to the citizenship of the towns
 The credit for directing the atten- ton of the officials of the boat com pany to the advantages of New Lon don belongs to Stephen A. Gardner, Jr., and Robert s. Gardner. sons of the late Capt. s. A. Gardner. $. A Gardner, Jr., has been in the employ of this company for a number ot years and is now on the Pacific coast experimenting the construction of the company's boats at Seattle.
 Capt. Frank T. Cable, L. Y- Spear H. R.

The terms of the lease and pur- chase of the plant and property. formerly occupied by the Eastern Shipbuilding company at Groton. were between the officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Go and of the Electric Boat Co.
 The Electric Boat Co, through sub shipbuilders. and in it's own shops builds the submarine torpedo boats now extensively used by the United States. England and other foreign has patented and builds a very effi- cient air compressor and is engaged in the manufacture of oil elgines for marine and stationary installations. different branches of unique naval construction.
 At the present time the company has well equipped machine shop and extensive draughting rooms and offices. It is proposed to move to New London at once this part of the business, which gives employment to 200 or 300 men with weekly payroll of $4,0OO.
 The existing contracts with the U. $. government insure work for several years and the development of the submarine from a harbor defense craft to an ocean going offensive en- zine of war with a seagoing milea ge of upward of 1000 miles, makes the future of the submarine boat a cer- tainty and the work for the company that will locate here well assured
