Mather of this city. has brought suit for SiO,000 damages against the city Of Waterbury for i'm | jures, suffered on July 27. while a ire was being fought in the Hodson building in that city. The complain ant was a spectator at the fire and alleges that the defendants agents, the fremen, knowingly and negli- gently connected a defective hose to hydrant and permitted vehicles to rass over the hose, allowing it to be- come disconnected.

 Mir. Hadfied narrowly esca ped death two weeks ago at his home off Curtiss street, when a well, which he was digging, caved in on him. He was completely covered with sand but neighbor. Hayward Brown, uncov- cred his head and called the fire de- partment. Dr. B.
