A Baggage Masters Death.

Mir. Otto F. Hoyt died very suddenly of heart disease at his residence No. 69 Spring street, Wednesday night. His wife awoke, hearing him breathing very hard, and in a few moments he was dead, before medical help could be sent for. He had been for years brakeman and baggage master on Conductor Minors train on the New. York road, and he and Joseph c. Ryan, long a brakeman oa Conductor Loomis' train on the Hartford road, had just been appointed the new con- ducters on the drawing-room cars on the 4 o'clock limited express train out of Boston for New York On hearing the news, after work, Mir. Hoyt went to Vice President Reed and said that he could not take the kind pro- motion, as it would take him away from his family too much. and he therefore would have to decline it The deceased then went home to bed. His death startled his associ- ates on the road, as the deceased was sup posed to be in excellent health, and caused general regret

Militia Companies, Member.htn,

Assistant Adjutant General Fox will to- night inspect the Guilford and Clinton pla- toons of artillery. Next week he begins his inspection of the Fifth Battalion (eolored), taking Company B of Hartford on Tuesday night, Company A of this city Friday night, Company c the night of the 29th, leaving a date yet to be fixed for Company D.
 The action of the last General Assembly, reducing the membership of the militia com panies of the State, is so unfavorably re- garded in military circles generally that strong effort will be made this winter to have the amendment done away with and the for mer provision of the law restored. The change so greatly displeased the militia that it has been thought there would be difficulty in getting recruits to fill the vacancies caused by the discharge of members who retire on account of the expiration of terms of ser vice or other reasons. In Company B, of this city, there are about twenty men to go out before May. Recruiting to fill vacancies recently caused have been going on actively of late, and the officers of the company think there will be plenty of applicants to fill all future vacancies BTfdgeport Farmer

Tine Rebuilt Narraxansett.

The work of rebuilding the wrecked Mar ragansett is substantially complete, and she will take her place on the line within five or six days One of the most important fea- lures of the rebuilding has been the attempt to make the vessel fre-proof by inclosing the boiler room with an iron sheathing rising eighteen inches above the hurricane deck and completely cutting off the furnace fires from the wood work of the craft. The roofing of the boiler-house is also of iron. The kitch- en is also inclosed with galvanized iron and has brick and cement floor. decided improvement has been made in the smoke stacks, which are now SO constructed as to ke- cure permanent smoke f1ue from the boilers to the deck. If the smoke-stacks are carried away the break will be above this point and enough pipe will remain to secure draught. All these are real and useful improvements and if one is not quite disposed to believe that the Narragansett is now fireproof, as she is said to be, he can at least see that danger from fire is much diminished and that in case of carrying away the smoke-stacks it will still be possible to keep up steam and make some progress where formerly it would have been impossible.

Dwight Place Churah-New Pastor. very pleasant social gathering of the people of the Dwight Place church took place | last evening at the parlors of the church, which was filled to overfowing. Rev.

W. J. Judson bid 1 $500. Yesterdays Hartford Times says ot l real estate: ssThere are indications that real estate in this city will bring better prices in the near future. There have been recent sales which betoken more activity, and it is confidently expected that the advent of spring | will cause healthy demand for this class o1 property, which has so long been neglected. 1 New Haven dealers give similar report as tc real estate in this city, and say that they find that many families are moving into the city, drawn here on account of the business in the shops. This creates corresponding activity in rents, there being but few houses and ten ements idle and dealers predict an increase of building activity next spring.

Bicycling.

The bicycle as practical mode of locomo-
 ton is no longer an experiment but an estab- lished fact. Upwards of a hundred gre owned
 and used in this city with great success, both
 for pleasure and business, and they are be-
 coming more popular and indispensable to
 their riders every day. The first question
 occurring to one whose attention has been
 challenged and secured by the bicycle is the
 practical one: Of what use is it? Is it more
 than an implement for sport? Is 1t vehi-
 cle, indeed, and if so, to what extent? Its
 ten years of increasing use in England, it's
 rapid possession of this country and it's d1ffu-
 sion over the world, are facts inconsistent with a light dismissal of its claims to recognl- tion. Every continent knows the tfwheei,' ' and in every instance yet the machine, once introduced, has gone rolling into confirmed
 and widening favor. The American Bicycle
 company of this city deserve much credit for the persistence with which they have brought this machine into prominence in this and other cities in Connecticut and western Massachusetts. Their patrons now receive 9 share in new American bicycle for each lesson paid for, and the same inducement is extended to those riders who hire bicycles of them by the hour day. This generous
 plan will undoubtedly produce lively times at their riding hall during the coming winter. No charge is made for admission to the hall,
 and our citizens generally will be made well come, whether they come to ride or to see
 others enjoy themselves on the swift wheel.

AnInteresting Occasion.

One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary
 of the Trumbuu Congregat1Onnl
 Church.
 The Congregational church of Trumbull Centre, Rev. N. T. Merwin pastor, celebra- ted it's one hundred and fftieth anniversary yesterday. The attendance was large, be- fitting so interesting an occasion. Teams came from every quarter, bringing people ln- terested in the old church and attached to it
 by personal or family ties. About one hum dred persons went up from Bridgeport on
 the morning train and by teams to witness
 and take part in the exercises. The church
 was appropriately and neatly decorated with
 flowers and evergreens. Back of the pulpit
 was a large motto ''Welcome," and on the
 rear wall were displayed the figures 1730 and
 1880 in gold. Standing against the wall and
 in the rear of the pulpit was an ancient clock
 which belonged to the first pastor of the church, Rev. Richardson Miner. The c1o ok was built by MT. Miners son and is now the property of MT. James W. Beardsley of Trumbu1l. Rev. c. R. Palmer, of Bridge
 port, was the presiding officer of the day.
 Rev. Benjamin Swallow, of Washington, D. C., one of the former pastors of the church, participated in the exercises. B. B. Plumb, of Trumbull, one of the leading men of the town, delivered the address of welcome The Trumbull church was an offshoot of the Stratford church. Deacon Edward Sterling, of Bridgeport, responded. The pastor, Rev. N. T. Merwin, gave the historical address ! Rev James Beebe was pastor of the church 1 for forty years, at the time of the French and Indian war, and was absent from the ' parish several months taking part in that war. ! The first bequets that ever fell to this church was 114 years ago. Mr. Thomas Sanford, of Fairfield, made a will and bequeathed at his death his house, barn and land, which when
 sold raised the sum of $3, 900. A fine colla- ton was served by the ladies in the basement,
 to which several hundred sat down.
 New Block of Residences on Wall Street. Mrs. Grace A. Atwater, widow of the late | Thomas B. Atwater, formerly of the New York road (whose death was caused by an &C., l cident on the railroad some years ago), is

 residence and lot. A large and fine elm tree, l with wide-spreading branches, which stood ! in front of the building site, has justs been | removed its roots having somewhat obstruct- l ed the pavement. In removing 1t two tier l of roots were found, the upper being of
