Fire Pressure Test Proved Disastrous

Bridgeport, Conn.,, July 24.-Every
window on one side of the Pittsfield
Express was broken at Winnpauk by
a stream of water from a fire hose
which was being given an underwrit-
ers' test at Norwalk mills there. The
deluge under a pressure of 100 pounds
to the square inch, flooded every car
and showered the passengers with wa
ter and splintered glass. The insur-
ance men who had charge of the test
explained that they had tied the noz-
zle of the hose to a fence adjoining
the track, not knowing that train
was due.
