 lies in Cottages.
 The season is at it's height at Merwin's Point, and judging from the look of content ment on the faces of the happy people who are located there for a few weeks they are perfectly satisfied with their lot. J. Stanley Rood, the proprietor of the Merwin's Point Hotel, is very genial gentleman and is popu- ular with his many patrons who visit him yearly, and also with the residents, for the many accommodations afforded at his popular seashore resort, which he has run for the past few seasons. He was formerly connected with the Norwalk Hotel, NorwaIk, Conn.,, and number of years ago ran ho- tel in Wisconsin. Probably no place within fifty miles of New Haven has, on the whole, greater natural advantages as a seashore re- sort than Merwin's Point, and people are eager to recognize this fact, as in the past two or three years some twenty cottages have been erected there by people from New Haven, Birmingham, Seymour, Ansonia, Meriden and other places. Three new cottages have been erected this season along with new barns and other conveniencies so well able to appreciate. Over

She is Killed in a Fight after Being
 Drunk a Whole Week.
 Last Sunday Maurice Foley was called to the house of Edward Hyland, about midway between Bristol and Forestville, this State. When he arrived he found Ann Hyland, wife of Edward, aged 45 years, lying dead on the kitchen floor with marks of violence on her. Foley immediately notified Dr. G. s. Hull, the medical examiner, who made an examina- ton, found marks of violence on the face, a cut in the back of the head, made appar- ently by some dull or blunt instrument, and all over her body were black marks, no part of her person being free from them. They were caused by kicks or blows. The ribs on the right side were broken and those on the left side were broken twice. Coroner Sperry was sent for to hold the inquest The neighbors say that Mrs. Hyland had been un- der the influence of liquor for week past and that her husband had also been drinking very hard. He claims to know nothing of how his wife came to her death and says she attacked him twice before in a drunken fit and attempted to kill him. The affair ere ates considerable excitement

The Late Tom Thumb.

The wedding of Tom Thumb occurred at Grace church, New York, and Rev. pr. Wiley, of Bridgeport, oficiated, the church being crowded with distinguished. citizens. The bridal couple came to Bridgeport and held brilliant reception at the homestead. corner of Main street and North avenue. They then went to Europe on their wedding trip, where they lionized to a high degree. His wife was his constant companion both on and off the stage until his death. She survives him. In 1879 the General" Mrs. | Stratton, her sister, the late Minnie Warren, and "Commodore" Mutt made trip around l the world, the incidents of which are almost historic. It lasted three years. In 1872 the family moved into the Generals residence | in MlddlebOro Mass, which was erected for him during his absence from home, where they have lived ever since. It IS large building, in which everything excepting one l sleeping apartment is of the ordinary size. In this chamber, however, the furniture is small enough for 8 dolls house. The ''Gen- | eraP' was 8 hospitable host and generous neighbor. His married life was very happy. ] General" Thumb was famous yachtsman and his greatest pleasure was good | wholesail breeze. He was very enthu- 1 siastic Freemason, and was probably the
 most diminutive Knight Templar in the world. He received all his Masonic degrees in this city in the bodies there and was 8 sovereign inspector general of the 33d degree in the Ancient and Accepted Scotch Rite.
 He was one of the most remarkable dwarfs 1 ever born. His form and face were perfect l in their symmetry at the time he was first
 shown to the public and that, together with l his naturally winning ways. made him jump 1 into popularity at once. When first shown he was twenty-six inches tall and weighed 1 19 pounds His growth was very
 slow, and when he had arrived at the
 age of twenty-four years he was but thirty l two inches tall. At the time of his death he l weighed seventy five pounds and was forty inches in height He lived comfortably and
 saved some money. Of late years the name of Tom Thumb occurred outside of museum show bills, when he and his wife escaped
 with their lives, but lost some money and jewelry, in the burning of the Newhall House at Milwaukee.
 His body will be brought to Bridgeport
 for interment. The time of the funeral will
 be decided on upon the arrival at Middle
 boro of his widow from Cincinnati. MT. P. T. Barnum, who is now in the White Noun
 tains, has been notified by telegraph of the | "Generars'' death, and has announced that he will return home to be present at the
 funeral. The Masonic fraternity will prob
 ably attend, all the high grades being repre- l tad

The Hartford and Harlem.

This morning at 10 o'clock, in the law libra ry room in the court building, the railroad commissioners will meet to hear objectors to the layout of t4e so-caIled Hartford and liar lem railroad through this city. It is pre- sumed that all the parties in interest have been notified to appear and that all parties notified will appear themselves or by coun- sel. That the hearing will be a prolonged one no one will doubt as the parties whose homes are to be destroyed by the layout will contest the same inch by inch. They are in dead earnest and while having full faith in the wise judgment of the commissioners they do not propose to let the case go by default. There is no section of the State through which this corporation proposes. to build It's road that will be more injured than New Haven. It is expected that there win be large array of legal talent before the commissioners in opposition to the proposed layout and the hearing will be an interesting one.
