In the New York Central power
house yesterday which resulted in
ten deaths. injury TO more than 100
persons and a money loss estimated
at two million dollars was continued
by the city and county authoritnes

IT IS generally conceded that the
hrst cause of the upheaval was a
runaway train of electric cars that
crashed over 4 bumper against the
power house and broke a feed pipe
which caused large quantity of gas
to accumulate in the power house
basement. This was ignited, posi-
.bly by an electric spark from a short
.eircuit.
search for the bodies in the ruins
was continued today.
The authorities believe that the
Number of deaths will not go over
eleven. Ten are known to be dead

INVESTIGATION MADE
OF WATER POLLUTION.
Said TO Be Result of Sewage
from the Asylum at
Weston.

The county board of health, &C
companied by the county court, a
member of the water works and sew
erage board, and two members Of the
Legislature went to Weston Tuesday
morning for the purpose of making
an investigation of sewerage condi-
tons at the hospital for the insane.
1t is said that under present con-
ditions this city's water supply Is In
constant danger of Contamination on
account Of pollution by the enIptying
OF sewage from the hospital into the
West Fork river There Is a large
number of inmates of the institution,
and it is said a large percentage Of
this number is afflicted with loath-
some and dangerous diseases, which
fact makes the danger OF contamlna-
ton greater. aside from the unsani-
tary condition produced by emptying
sewage refuse into the river.
The result OF these unsanitary con-
ditions is, 1t is asserted, that the
water supply of the local waterworks
system is polluted and laden with
germs, so that citizens using the city
water for drinking or cooking, or even
bathing purposes are in constant
danger of infection. These facts
have been known to many for some
time. and numbers OF citizens now
obtain water from wells or other pure
sources of supply. It is said that
some even take precaution to use
we'll water for bathing purposes.
The proposed filtration system will
do away with much of the pollution,
but cannot entirely purify the water
Of germs Since a majority OF the
population must depend on the city
water for cooking purposes II not
for drinking as well, It IS highly nee
cssary that something be done 70 re-
