Will the Street Cross at Grade Shall
 There be al BrIdge-The Subject Under
 ConsideratiOn-AnA Adjournment.
 At the last meeting of the Board of Select men committee, consisting of Town Agent Reynolds, selectmen Cooper and Sperry, were appoil ted to consider the petition for the extension of East Grand street in that part of the town known as the ''annex," l" from Center street east, crossing the Shore Line railroad at grade. The proposed exten- sion leads to Fair Haven Heights.
 MT. Reynolds and Mir. Sperry, of the Board of Selectmen, were present, and President Watrous and Vice President Reed, represent ing the Consolidated road. Mir. Cooper, of the Board of Selectmen, was detained. At the opening of the session MT. Watrous said the question whether there should be layout from Center street eastward was something his company had very little to say about. He thought for crossing at grade it would be very bad place for such project. It was very steep down from the ridge, which would make it dangerous. A bridge would obviate the whole difficulty. It might raise the street six feet and make the hill little longer, but It would avert all danger
 Vice President Reed said that it was the worst place for crossing at grade that there was in the town, and nothing but bridge would be safe at that point
 Town Agent Reynolds said that parties living in the vicinity were now in favor of crossing at grade.
 President Watrous objected to this plan on account of the railroad cut near where the crossing was located, which could not be seen until the trains were near to it. Ne said the railroad company had much rather pay their proportion of the cost for bridge than to have grade crossing. If he lived on the "HilP' he would not want grade crossing there. He thought any person living on the ''Hilp' would rather pay $20 foot with 8 bridge than to pay $1O foot for 9 crossing at grade. His company would oppose nc obstacle if a bridge was built, and would pay their share of expense, which would be one half the cost. lie thought bridge would cost about $2, ,O00, and the sum of $1, ,O00 should not deter the town of New Haven from building bridge at this point He thought it would benefit property largely in that locality if bridge was built and that the public generally would be better satisf ed than to have 0 crossing at grade.
 Town Agent Reynolds said the people on the Hill" would be glad to have bridge, while the people on this side and on both sides of Center street were decidedly opposed to a bridge and wanted grade crossing.
 Vice President Reed said that while there were dozen families on Center street that wanted a crossing at grade, yet there were 6O,0oO people on this side who would prefer bridge so that they might drive to the Heights with perfect safety.
 It was finally agreed that the committee of the Selectmen would meet the railroad officers on Monday next to look over the ground in detail and decide on what was best to recon mend

A Pension Decision.

The pension decision just made by Con- missioner Dudley is interesting to many ex- soldiers. He rules that where soldier was sound at the time of his capture and when released was found suffering from disease in- cident to prison life, he is presumed to have contracted the disease in the line of duty and is therefore entitled to a pension also, where man was captured in the line of duty and there is evidence that he has never been heard from nor exchanged he will be pre- sumed to be dead, and 8 pension will be granted his widow

More Horse Stealing.

A Trumbull man named French gave mo- tice at the Bridgeport police office yester day that his horse and wagon had been stolen from his barn during the night before. The game parties also broke into Platt's store at Long Hill,. taking therefrom about $10o worth of groceries and other articles. It was known that the same parties committed both offences, as blanket belonging to Mir French was left at Platt's store. The police traced the thieves as far as the paper mill in North Bridgeport where they found the horse and wagon, they having been discovered about 5 o'clock yesterday morning. They were probably abandoned by the thieves at that point. No traces of the men or the articles taken from Platt's store were found.

JOUR BOYS"


 The New Haven Opera House was fairly filled last evening, when it was reopened un- der the management of Miss Minnie Cum mings. The play presented was ''Our Boys," and it met with reception and suc cess which was entirely different from that which greeted 'Romeo and Juliet" a short time since From the utter failure of the first company it was evident that an entire reorganization was necessary to insure any success, and Miss Cummings was wise enough to see this. The company that ap- peared last evening is, with one or two ex- captions, an entirely new one, and as whole much superior to the other. Although in the opening of the play there was considerable stumbling about for forgotten lines and cues, after awhile it began to run smoothly, and the ability of the actors began to tell. The audience became interested and thoroughly enjoyed the play. Hearty laughter and ap- plause were quite frequent and rather in- creased than diminished as the performance drew towards 8 close. Miss Cummings in the minor character of 'eMary Melrose" acted with her usual skill. MT. Allen, who took the character of MT. Middlewick,' sus- tained it in an excellent manner. He IS an &C., tor of ability, and if he is versatile and can appear as we'll in other characters the man. agement have strong card in him. Miss Sophia M. Osborn fairly sustained the char acter of ''Violet Melrose," and gave evidence of ability sufficient to portray characters requiring ordinary work. Miss Adele Richmond, as "Clarisse Champneys," was decidedly weak and would hardly bring credit to the company. Miss Helen Reimer, as ''Belinda,'' although oyerdoing and making the character too boisterous, otherwise proved herself the best actress in the compa- ny. Mir. Frank DeVernon is 6 versatile and able actor, and was decidedly the best one of the old company. As 'Talbot Champneys' he further proved his ability, but gave too much of the English swell to the character to make it as it should be. Mir. J. H. Burnett another of the old company, fArly sustained the character of ''Charles Middlewick," |" but can do better in some other parts more suited to his style. Mir. Byron Douglass. who labored under the disadvan- tage of having his part assigned him at very short notice, did as we'll as could be expected under the circumstances His connection with this company is his first appearance as professional and he bids fair to become an actor of merit. With the exception of the usual hitches drags and other defects which accompany first presentation, the perform ance was very successful and this evening, when it will be repeated, an entertainment that will give much pleasure may be ex- pected.
