THE FIRE YESTERDAY MoRsNs.-The

Ing, was caused by the burning Of small
wooden tenement on Chin borazo Hill near
the corner Of Grace and Thirty.tirst streets.
1t was owned by James Mattan, aud occu-
pied as a store by Henry, Reed. Owing to
the fact that the alarm was given from Box II

count Of the very limited supply Of wafer,

little good. The loss on the building is about

known Of the origin Of the fire, but the oc-
cupant went away from the premises Sunday

Remarkable Fishing Trip.

MERIDIAN (conn.) Republican,
The facts and figures Of the cod.hshing
excursion to Block Island, mentioned in
Wednesdays Republican, are a wonder
even to old fishermen, and are fully au.
thenticated as true. Seven Of the entire
party Of fifteen were from Meridian; they
were Messrs. Edward Miller, Jr., Linus
Birdsey, Capt. Bunnell, Edward Miller,
Jr., Grovner Curtlss, Frank Miller and
w. A. Kelsey, land one-J. Triggs-was
from Chicago.) At Branford Point the
party boarded the staunch little schoon-
er yacht belonging to Commodore
Oliver W. Miller, Of whom the
party were invited guests. In sixteen
hours time the fishing grounds, about 80
miles outside Of Rock Islands, and 120
miles from BranfOrd, were reached lines
were dropped at about Q o'clock, and i'm.
mediately the fun began. So brisk was
the work that by II o'clock, in less than
six hours, twelve lines had taken about
400 fish, weighsng over 1900 pounds.
The heaviest cod taken was twenty
pounds. Mr.. Ed. Miller, jry caught one
weighing sixteen pounds. At IL o'clock
sail was made, with fine breeze up, and
Branford was reached at 3 o'clock next
mogsing. Such ecord,-4,000 pounds
OF fsh, with twelves lines, In only forty.
five hours from Branford Point,-beat
the best record the old fishermen could re-
call In twenty-five years.

AN IMPRovED FISH BAR -MessrS
Stephen ITipkins and John W. Rigsby
have recently made an Improvement in
railroad joint fasteners for which they
have obtained a patent. The improve.
mcnt consists in the method Of fastening
the hsh bars to the rails.
There are no screws or nuts, but the
bolts are double headed and being pushed
through the slots are frightened by strik.
ing the end Of the bar which brings a
wedge shaped surface to bear on the
heads Of the bolts. A third bar with slots
fitting the heads Of the bolts is then slip.
ped on, and two bolts with key slots In
them are put through from side to side,
and keys inserted, completing a fastening
which nothing but brcnknge or the hand
Of man can displacc. The device Ia Ger.
tainly not only novel but undoubtedly ei.
iectlve, and has the merit Of simplicity.
II Is we'll worthy the attention Of those
interested In railroad matters.
The inventors have left the conttiyance
at our office where II may be seen. We
believe the gentlemen desire to get up a
company for the manufacture Of their
improved fastening in which they pro.
pose 10 take stock.
J.W. Rigsby may be found at his shop,
17l5 Chapline street, and Stephen Hip.
kins may be found at Hobbs, Brockunier
& Cos. glass works, and either Of them
may be consulted for particulars.

TnE COUNSEL will probably decide to
night what sort Of brick they desire the
contractor to put into the Capitol build
ing. Before they conclude to make an
experiment with fre.brick We trust thai
some member will rise and tell the COun'
ell lust what he knows, Of his ora kROr'
tdr, as to building houses with fre-brick'
twill cost two thousand or twenty-five
hundred dollars, direct and immediate
to make the experiment with lire'brickr
and before ten years are gone it may cost
Ms several times these amounts. What is
wanted therefore is reliable personal in
formation, not hearsay reports. We all
know that good, we'll burned common
brick, will stand the wear and tear Of
time. Do any Of us know how long fire
brick will stand the same test?
