Pew Rentals.

sfttings fin Several Churches Disposed oh
 Last Evenfng-NO Particular Increase
 i'm Prices.
 The rental of pews in the churches for one year from date took place in many of them last evening. As rule there was but little variation from last year, prices being about the same, although there was falling of Tn bonuses in many instances, especially so in wealthy churches where the people are gen. orally satisfied with their sittings and have no desire for change. hence no need of bidding for choice.
 At the Calvary Baptist church Mir. Gay was the auctioneer, and although the bonus for first choice was $1O8, yet the bidding which followed was much below this figure, and be- fore one dozen seats were sold it was hard to get the bonuses above five dollars It was thought by the officers of the church, how ever, that the rentals would reach $5, ,O0O, and perhaps over that amount, which was many other churches number of seats will be taken on next Sunday.
 At the North church the sittings were dis posed of both afternoon and evening. There were few changes in locations, most of which were mutually agreed upon between the members Of the congregation. The prices ranged about the same as last year. At the Third Congregational church the bidding was quite spirited at the first part of the evening. A number of new families are among the list of those seeking for sittings at this church during the coming year
 At Dwight Place the bidding was quite lively and the sale of seats was larger than usual. While the prices of seats was not advanced the grand total received will proba- bly be considerably larger than last year owing to the increase of bonuses.
 At St. PauPs the sale was conducted by Superintendent Quintard, of the Derby rail- road, as auctioneer. The sale promises to equal that of last year, which amounted to about -$6, 800. The bonuses amounted to about $500.
 At the Church of the Redeemer Frank E. Harrison oficiated as auctioneer. The sale will probably reach about $e, GOO, the amount last year. At the Church of the Messiah the sale was the largest ever known, over $1 ,5OO being re- alized last evening against $500 last year, with much more to be realized from the ad ditional rentals.

The Fire.

About 8 o'clock last evening an alarm of fire was given from box 16, corner of How ard avenue and Columbus street. The cause of the alarm was a fire in the joiner shop and barn of Patrick Kennedy, located in the rear of No. Daggett street, near the Derby rail road bridge. The fire spread rapidly, and when the fire department arrived they were troubled in getting sufficient water from the near hydrant, which seemed to be clogged with dirt and mud. Owing to this fact they were obliged, as soon as they could obtain sufficient water, to protect the dwellings in close proximity to the burning building, some of which were considerably scorched before the streams were brought to bear upon them. Michael Doherty's was among the dwellings most badly damaged The other house dam aged was one built by Mir. Kennedy, but, as is understood, is at present owned by Cover & Mansfield. The entire loss will prob ably not exceed $500, which is understood to be covered by insurance.

Dress Goods and Silks.

Were you so fortunate as to reach this De- pertinent on Opening Day? You were, like many others, held spell-bound at the magni- ficent display of Rich Foreign Fabrics. Nat ura1fy great deal of attention centered in the long arcade of Silks, satins, and Rare Old-World Gems Things of such beauty as to make one wonder if they were really wrought, and were not discovered full bloom in some Eastern world. It is pleasure to look at such goods, even to those who never hope to possess them. Yet our prices are not more high than the domestic limitations of- fered by other city dealers, and the excessive ly heavy sales of opening day satisfy us that we have no competition in this line.
