bOSLOu huu "hO ID d very 1upOrGhuG "itucSS for us, and we cannot get him here before Thursday and possibly not then. We only ask that we may be permitted to introduce this witness if can get him after ths re-
 buttal has commenced.
 Mr. Doolittle replied. He said that he did
 not believe the court would allow new wit
 ness to be introduced after the State had
 commenced rebuttal. If it was proposed to
 continue the case until next Thursday that
 was another thing ''The defense, , said MT.
 Doolittle, 'has had ample time to get this witness here"
 Mir. Jones in reply said that the witness
 they proposed to produce had examined over
 two hundred cases of drowned persons, and
 his testimony was exceedingly important in
 this case.
 The court-I cannot compel the State to go on with the rebuttal until the direct evi- | dence is all introduced. | The court-Mr. Jones, will that be your
 last witness.
 Yes your, honor, we are prepared to say | that Professor Harris will be our last wit | ness.
 The court-If your witness is not here on
 Thursday morning will you ask for any fur
 ther delay?
 | No, your honor.
 i The court-Well, then, am disposed to l adjourd the court, with the understanding | that this is to be the last witness and that |
 witnesses are to be produced by the defense. The court then ordered the court ad- l journed until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, Fair Haven. The last part of the marine railway for Campeachy City, Mexico was shipped yes | terday It has been taken section by section
 in vessels to New York city, where it is re- 1 shipped on board of the steamer direct to its
 destination. The bark that will take out the
 dry dock, just completed for the same com
 pany, arrived at the dock yesterday, and will
 at once commence loading. Peter Ritter, the teamster who was so bad | ly hurt on Saturday last by the cake of ice which fell from the elevator of the brewery, | was very poorly on Sunday and Monday ! nights, but yesterday was much better. Dr. ! Gilbert, who is attending the patient, thinks | he will recover.
 I MT. and Mrs. Charles Littlejohn and Mir H.D French left on Monday for short tour I going south as far as Virginia, stopping at l Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, and up
 the Shenandoah valley as far as Harper's Ferry.
 | There was good attendance at the straw berry festival last evening at Bradley's block, | opposite the postoffice, given by the ladies of 1 Grace church, Blatchley avenue. The fssti- 1 val will be continued this evening. The ladies of the East Pearl street Methodist so- ! city will also give a strawberry festival in
 the lecture room of their church this even 1 ing.
 l The auction sale of lots on Grove and Vale | streets on Monday for unpaid taxes took place as advertised. The property was bid I in for the owner. l Miss Cora Miller, of New York is the l guest of Mrs. Captain Frederick Crossley, on North Quinnipiac street. Plenty of conveyances now connect with | the city and return-nO less than three diff 1 ferent lines of stages-Bailey's, Chidseys
 and the South Haven line these besides the horse cars every twelve minutes. l The upholsterer that had his place in the 1 German block on East Grand street, corner 1 of Blatchley avenue, has moved his business l into the Quinnipiac House-the north part l of the building-where the office and reading
 room of the hotel used to be. l Mir. Sheldon w. Parker, who goes out to 1 Campeachy, Mexico to superintend the put l ting up and getting in working order the Captain Wright's ship yard, will go by 1 steamer from New York, starting Thursday,
 July 9th.
 1 The prizes offered for the race to-day of l the Yacht club in George H. Ford's store 1 windows attracted the attention of our Fair ] Haven people, who think the tokens are ele- l gant and prizes that are well worth trying | for.
 ] Yesterday afternoon now style two-wheel | cab attracted much attention in this locality.
 It was driven by S. Wier, the carriage maker,
 who lives on the sea shore on the point east 1 of Morgan's Point.
 l Lewis Pierpont has given up his situation l in Trager's new restaurant on Center street ] in the city
 MT. Reuben Rice, employed in the spoon shop at Yalesvile, has returned as the shop
 has started up again. 1 The fancy dry goods store that opened l little while ago in Todd's block did not re- main long They quietly picked up their ! goods and silently stole away one fine after | noon.
 Those who go down to the east shore and those living in East Haven and Branford complain considerably at long delays, owing ! to the draw of the new bridge being off so i long. Those who live near the iron bridge I rather like it, and would prefer to have it | kept off all the while, as it is twice as lively 1 since the travel at the drawb bridge has been suspended than before. | MT. Milo Allen returned from Westbrook yesterday, where he has been visiting for g. few days.
 The auction horse case between the Bran ford and Fair Haven parties came off in the former place on Monday last but was con- tinued until Saturday at ? o'clock p. m.
