A special test of a defective hydrant on Dunlop street was made the day after the fire, and the same diiculty occur- red. He did not believe that the slack in the stream was` owing to the hvdrant not being suiciently opened. Here Mr. Pepler produced an old-hy- d'9-"Vi. Showing just how a -hydrant works, and attempted to show that it was impossible for a hydrant to shut. Itself by being turned the same way as when opened. Mr. Smith, hewever,-. still held that what he had stated was correct. He also said that in some W568 when a. hydrant was closedfa` little water would still come -out, and Bometimes had to call on the 1llIeiu_at3- 19 waterworks station `to come and ` remdy the defect. " ":1 Strathy--At :thfe__-_ hydrant-on Dunlap The rst evidence taken was that of G. G. Smith, Chief of Fire Brigade. He swore that he had been chief since 1882, and prior to the introduction of the present waterworks system. Then. re appliances consisted of a steam fire engine. There were many serious con agrations in that time, but have been none since this .-system was introduced, that have extended very much. though there had been lots of res. There had been about twenty calls this year so far, and this he thought an average number for other years. There had been many res that would have as- sumed dangerous proportions had it not been for eicient protection. He did not think they had thrown water long- er than an hour without having the re under control. He could speak of the efficiency of the waterworks service as to promptness, and also generally as to pressure, though sometimes at the be- ginning of some res the pressure was not very good, though soon came up as steam raised. He could not say whether there is 70 lbs. pressure kept on all the time at the waterworks station or not. . He had always found Mr. Keenan a satisfactory and efoient oicer, and al-- 1 ways prompt. So far as the witness 4 knew there had never been any breaks 1 to cause diiculty in the service during res. Cross-examined by Mr. Strathy- Mr. Smith said he had never had any experience with other waterworks sys- tems. Some hydrants had not always worked well. Two or three were hard to close, and one hydrant seemed to close itself as it became unturned past a certain point. This was the only one they had special trouble with. Upon. more than one occasion stones more than one inch in diameter came into the nozzle from the hydrants, though he did not know how they got into the hydrant. Occasionally a hydrant did not shut of!` properly. They generally had all the pressure they required. The next proceeding was the ling of all deeds of Waterworks Co. s property; 000,000. .nvf" The Board` met heard Barrister Bruce, of Hamilton, who appeared for the Trust & Loan Co., of New York; the mortgageee to the amount of $80,- 000 for the bond holders. This gentle- man contended that proper notice had not been given` the Trust & Loan Go. concerning the arbitration, and that that Company should `be a partyto the game. After hearing` his argument it was decided to go on and receive evi- dence subject to Mr. Bruce s objection, The Board of Arbitrators, consisting` of Judge Benson, Port Hope"; Mr. Walter Barwick, Toronto; and Mr. Samuel Barker, resumed work last Wednesday, as announced in last week : ADVANCE, in connection with the value. tion of the waterworks plant. Messrs. strathy & Esten and H. Lennox are solicitors for the-town, and Messrs. Pepler and Creswicke for the Company. A__,-.L L _ _. 1 chief Smith. of Fire Bngads.

By the time they ` had a trench ready to lay the pipe, the 1 ditch was 15 feet wide instead of 3 ` feet, and 10 feet deep, instead of 6 feet, the average depth throughout the town. From Elizabeth street to Sophia street 3 on Mary street fairly dry, and in the ; northern part gravelly and rough, with ' hard digging, On Bradford street ` from Caldwell s corner to WestWard school, very wet. Here witness related ' the diiculty at Bunke`.- s creek, where they had to remove logs beneath the water. They had to lay about 300 feet- of pipe `on the bank and roll it into the trench. From West Ward school to Elizabeth street digging was very wet, there was also quicksand; to Mary street loose white sand ; to Five Points very good digging. At the Five Points ` logs had been buried in layers of one, two, and three, forming what appeared to be a bridge. Along Dunlop to post oice fairly good digging, though top of road a foot in depth was very hard. `From there to Mulcaster they. struck many logs and had diiculty with caving. fDunlop appeared to be a made street. To Berczy street the soil was very gravelly, and at Berczy street corner the. road was very wet for 100 feet. Louisa to Duckwcrth fairly good digging; and along Blake street to east end it was very wet, and there were many boulders for a short dis- tance, but after that fairly good dig- ging.

Ittook two days to get these 200 feet of pipes ready to lower, _when it would have been done in good ground in one day. He could not speak posis tively of the digging as they were not in his gang; the diggers themselves would` know more about it than he did. Altogether the pipe laying gang lost two - days on Bradford street, three days on Mary street, as well as some time on streets where In one day an E ordinary man should dig '24 feet, baci- ~ throughout the work would not amount lling included, of ve-foot trench. He knew that men dug from 50 to 75 feet in a day ; one man had dug 70 feet as a result of .a race between two men in good ground. He thought the average . to more than '12-feet per hour per man. He thought Berlin on the average as _ easy as Barrie to dig in ; but not easier. 1 The other `places he mentioned were more diicult. because of rock encoun- . tsred.' The witness were that perhaps _. one-third` of . a mile of-' _trench was : throughwhard clay and gravel, one mile ` of Quicksand, about 100 yards of `logs, ` one-half mile of ordinary gravel, and it about 50 boulders more than one foot _.. in dianieter.

While in Barrie he was in charge of the trench digging a gang `for some time towards the end of the work, He had from 18 to 20 men in his employ. The pipe laying gang followed pretty closely after the trenching gang. A consider- able portion of the pipe was 4 inch, . -next in proportion was 6 inch, then 8 , inch, and least of all 12 inch. In re- __ ference to his memory respecting the charaoterof ground, his knowledge re - suoeting the different parts of the work depended on his memory fromi 1890 . and on Wednesday when he went over , part of the ground. Since 1890, ex- cepting in 1891 when he was working on the railway,. he had been working inconneotion with waterworks plants. He could not speak so accurately of V Berlin , street by street, as he had `of Barrie, as it wasin 1888 that he work- edin Berlin. -_He was pretty sure he was right, but was not positive in every ' instance. He did not wish the Board to think that Dunlop s_t_reet, from Five Points to Mulcaster street, is embedded _ in logs. Witness thought his gang could lay 50; 12-inch pipes a day `in fairly good ground. They had seldom laid more than that, and he would `contradict anyone who said that 75 were laid. 70 might have been laid. .8-inch,6-inch and 4-inch pipes would be laid much more quickly. They could lay 70 or 75 8-inch pipes, but did not think the number over reached 90. A full gang (10) were required for laying '12-inch and 8-inch pipe, though they did with 8. men for laying 6-inch and 4-inch. Of these smaller pipes they could lay 10' per hour, or might put in 20 in one single hour, but could not average more than 18 6-inch pipes, and 15 4-inch pipes per hour in good average ground. He `thought that between pump house and Elizabeth street they had taken a week. \ They ' had been delayed seriously at Bunker's creek. They had to keep the whole `gang of trenchers till 7.30 in the even- but in livng} at Ohnthntn ndjvr, when-5 hat is employed.

Four score years and ten is the re- markable age at which Colin Beaton, one of the earliest settlers of the town- ship of Pickering, died on October 1, at the residence ofvhis eldest son, Wil- '_ liam, at New Lowell. The deceased was bornin Argyleshire, Scotland, in ,_ 1807, came to this country in 1833, and settled in the township of Pickering, where he married Christina McKinnon in 1835. He leaves ve sons, of whom A Dr. A. H. Beaton is Medical Superin- tendent of the Oatario Asylum at 0ril- lia; -D. J. Beaten is editor of the Manitoba Free Press _; Hugh Beaten lives at Waubanshene, and Colin, the youngest, at Port Arthur. The de- ceased was a member of a family of seven, all -of whom passed the four score mark. Two brothers predeceased him, Neil. dying in his 96th year, and Hec- tor in his 82nd, and a sister in her 85th year. Twoisisters and one brother survive him, Mrs. Kersey ot Wood- _ bridge, who is 88 years of age," and Mrs. McGillivray, also of Woodbridge, 84 years, and John, who lives in Dakota and is 86 years of age. The united ages of the seven, the three living and the four dead, is 619 years, making an` average `age of 88 years, which may possibly be increased. This a pheno- menal case of longevity, and is a_strik- ing illustration `of the vigour and _'on-- durance which characterized the early settlers of this Provinoe.-Globe. 8 Through the contention of r. Bruce re mortgagees, the court. agreed to ad- journ for ten days, and at the request` of the Waterworks Company s solicitor, a further adjournment was granted, so that the next sittings of the court will be Nov. 30, Mr. Strathy being assured, in answer to his enquiries, that matters will bsprcceeded with then without de- lay, Solicitor Strathy for the Town then consulted with _the Mayor and Mr. Chipman and offered to take the evi- dence of Mr. N orthey concerning the value of engines and other machinery in the pump house as nal, if the Com- pany was willing._ There was some quibbling, however, over this. Mr. Barwick asked if the original time and pay books were not forthcoming. These would save alot of evidence and would certainly be the only exact authority. It was evident that these were not available, though Mr. Pepler said` he would look into the matter. Several matters of this nature were left for the counsel to arrange by next sitting of the court so that the arbitration pro-- ceedings may proceed with expediency. machinery. `V He said that at therate they had been going that day the arbi- tration wonld be long and expensive and the arbitrators were anxious to re- duce expgases as much as possible.
