 DId-Fire 'Em TO-NfRht.
 Another large gathering of people will be called ont to the Green tomorrow night to witness the setting of of the Fourth of July fireworks, which will take place if it don't rain Mayor Lewis informs us that we may inform the public that tomorrow night is the night for the grand display, weather per hitting, and that if the weatheris bad to-mor- row night the display will be upon the next fair night. The fireworks were dampened by the rain on the Fourth a little and need "suL- ming" to render them all right again. The five or six fireworks men returned to New York Saturday and will be here tomorrow to prepare the display again under Alder man Munson's direction There was great inquiry about town Saturday as to when the display would occur, and no doubt there will night of the display. Mayor Lewis also says that it will be all right for private individuals to fire off the fireworks tonight which were left over from the Fourth.
 Owing no doubt to the prompt work of the police in their raid upon the pickpockets very few theft cases occurred. Sarah B. Wood, of Westville, missed pocketbook with $6 or g in it. She don't know whether it was lost or stolen. W. F. Goodwin lost an $50 gold watch and Chief Hendrick lost a valuable whip, gift from Chief Wbipple of Westfeld, Mass.
 MT. Ezra F. Merriam, clerk at E. B. Hal & Sons, was sitting in his parlor at No. 632 State street, Fourth of July evening, taking it easy after his duties of the day as one of the assistant marshals, when his reveries were broken up by the entrance of 8 burning rocket into the room. It broke large pane of glass, set one of the lace curtains on fire and landed on the carpet, which it set on fire. MT. Merriam ran and got blanket and he and neighbor across the way who saw the rocket enter assisted in putting out the fire. The damage done was about $50. The course of the rocket was cratic, which caused the mischief Mrs. Merriam also as- sisted in extinguishing the fire. Had the &C., cident occurred little later the fire depart ment services would have been required.
 Haven't we had lively summer say the people, with Decoration day, the Sarsfields' big trip, the reception of the Seventh regi- ment, the rah! rah! rsh! celebration, and the glorious Fourth.

Pluekv Work mt a Fire

Lawyer s. Spier narrowly escaped having bad fire at his residence, 145 Bradley street, yesterday. How the fire originated he does not know, but that his wife, by celerity and a force that would have done justice to the celebrated Miss Hurst, of Georgia, who is astounding New York by her wonderful feats of strength, succeeded in extinguishing we'll started fire is certain. Mrs. Spier went into her. kitchen about o'clock and saw that the woodwork around the stove and sofa that was standing near by were in flames. In an instant Mrs. Spier had that sofa out the open window into the back yard where the burning could harm only itself, and in a few moments the rest of the fire was extinguished by plucky work. Mrs. Spier received some burns. There was no fire in the stove and how the blaze originated is unknown.

How the Fourth Went OR-The Rush to

 Our national anniversary passed of very quiety in the borough except on the night before, and in the ''wee sma hours. Young America was out in full force, making sleep out of the question for the sober-minded There was big exodus of the citizens to this city in the morning to see the parade and the borough was nearly depopulated, but in the afternoon the tide turned and car after car load visited the shore from this city. Superintendent Ward had his hands. full in furnishing transportation for the multitude, but he WAS equal to the emergency. The Hotel Sea View did an immense business in getting up shore dinners, and the Landlords Southwick covered themselves with glory. They are giving excellent satisfaction. Land lord Freeman of the Beach House did big business His house and dinners give un- bounded satisfaction. Landlord Howes at the Railroad restaurant did heavy business His skating rink was the center of attraction. It is going to be very popular, being in such 8 cool and delightful spot, and Railroad grove was well patronized. The flying horses and the shooting gallery came in for their share. Landlord Putnam with his assistants had enough to do. None went away hungry, for he can suit the most fastidious palate.
 The private boarding houses are fast filling up. Mrs. Holmes tt the Ocean cottage on Beach street is crowded with guests, and her cuisine is greatly praised. She personally supervises herself, but has fisst-class cook to assist her
 There are but few vacant cottages on the shore. The most of them will be engaged and by another week cottages for rent will be scarce.
 Wilbur F. Day, president of the National New Haven bank, moved into Dr. Pierponts cottage on Beach street last Friday.
 The Young Peoples Society of Christian Endsayor connected with the M. D. church will have an entertainment this evening at MT. Harris Eames' residence on First avenue. There will be reading and singing and ice cream will be served. Admission fee will be ten cents.

Detective Brewer an Gnventor,

Detective James Brewer has inYented signal lamp for notifying men on the outside beats that they are wanted at the central office. It is a small lamp, to be placed on the police signal boxes of the Gamewell tele- graph system. The lamp will burn clear white light. An electric appliance will be so arranged that the officer on duty at the sta tion can, by pressing button at his desk, cause a red tube of glass to shoot up around this light, thus converting it into 8 danger signal and calling the attention of the officer on the beat, who will at once open the box and communicate by the telephone with the police station. MT. Brewer has applied for a patent on the lamp, and it may be tested in this city if the patent is secured. It's value is in supplying iang felt want of 8 means of summoning policemen by the cen- tral station.

The discourse was extempo- raneous one of pleasing nature, in which the rector referred to the society as one fam fly, whose mutual aid would best accomplish the work before them.
 Last evening the rector preached 8 written sermon of similar nature, in which he re- ferred to the duties before him, comparing himself to steward who would be held &C., countable for the performance of certain la- bors.
