Attempts to Burn a Church,

The Methodist church in Milford is evi- dently thought an unnecessary structure by some of the truly good people of that town. Two attempts have been made to set fire to the building; one about month ago, when the building got afre, but was seen to be burning before the flames had time to do much damage, and the other few days ago, when pile of infammable materials that had been placed near it .by the would-be in- cendiaries was seen before the match had been applied to it. Why anyone should wish to burn the building is not easy to con lecture, but some say that is because of the effors against the liquor traffic made by the parson and other prominent members. There is disorderly element even in Milford which craves nothing so much as free beer and re- venge upon those who would have all men temperate.

The Grand UnIoD HoteI

The creditors of Futile 6 Post, ex-propri- etors of the Grand Union hotel, are anxious to find buyer for the hotel If the property cannot be disposed of trustee will be asked for and the estate placed in insolvency. The actual proprietors of the hotel prove to be Mrs. Lillie E. Futile, wife of the missing man, and Ezra L. Post. The hotel was leased to them in February, 1883, for five years, the rental for the first year being s, 900 and for the other four years at s2,4O0. One of the provisions of the lease was that the hotel should be kept open continuously. < It was owing to this clause probably that the estab- lishment was not closed up when Deputy Sheriff Keefe attached for Olena & Craig. Mrs. Futile in her desertion commands the sympathy of all the creditors.

SALVATION ARMY DAY.

Great Jubilee at the Union Street Bar-
 racks-Very Successful Ice Cream Fes-
 tivaI-Many in Attendance.
 Yesterday was great day for the Saliva tion Army. It was their annual jubilee and ice cream festival. There were present rep
 resentatives from Bridgeport, New London | and Lawrence, Mass, Major Moore, Capt Walsh, the converted minstrel, and Capt Wray, of the headquarters in Brooklyn. Some of the new notices on the wall are: ''God is love, repent and be saved" "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found." The
 ice cream sold for five cents per plate only At 7:30 they prepared for an open air meet ing, but the rain coming on interfered some what with their plans and they held meeting in the hall instead
 They sang almost all the songs in the song book, marching around the hall, beating | drums and shouting and singing. Among the personages on the stage at the opening of 1 the jubilee were Happy Jack, Salvation
 Army Mary, Happy Bob and Major Moore l After the opening prayer the converted min 1 strel sang hymn composed by himself in | fine style. The major in his remarks referred 1 to newspapers in this city as trying to make them out nuisances, but that was the best kind of advertisement for them. In an in 1 terview with Major Moore, who is an intelli- gent looking man of forty-ive years and has a slight cockney accent in his speech, he said 1 that when he arrived in this country six
 months ago there were only 46 barracks, but 1 now there are 96, with others springing up right along, and there are about 50 in Can ada. They open in Albany next Sunday, l and in Boston the second Sunday in August
 There are from 5000 to 20, GOO members of the Army in this country.
 The male captains of each station receive $6 per week, and the female captains $5, but they have to pay their rent first, and if the amount collected by contribution is not sui fcient the headquarters supply the def
 ciency.
 In the hall last evening there were about
 one hundred and fifty people present and
 about fifty Salyationists

LAST NIGHTS STORM.

A Dreaded Cyclone Happily Averted
 -The Amount of Rainfall Six.tenths
 of an Inch.
 Masses of dark, portentous clouds hung over the western sky last evening about o'clock. The hurrying winds from that quarter soon sped the sullen-visaged clouds over the sky causing it to present 8 peculiar appearance and one that threatened savage storm Soon the rain drops began to fall; and for an hour or more they came down in bucketfu1. The usual number of people sighed for umbrellas, and some signing went and borrowed The dreaded cyclonic devas- tation deterred others from purloining their neighbors' property. But no cyclone came, no lightning flashed. Nevertheless telephone wires were disarranged and the people who were at Savin Rock had their ardor dampen- ed considerably. The boats in the harbor felt the effect of the storm and before it struck there was general rushing for shelter. The total amount of rainfall was six-tenths of an inch. The storm was a local one, al- though there were number of showers at the same time in places near here Very little damage was reported.

Building Improvements.

A fine residence is being erected on Whal- ley avenue, near Sperry street, by ex-Judge Sheldon, which it is understood will, when finished, be occupied by his married daughter and her husband. The house will be finished early in the fall.
 The old house next to 73 Whalley avenue has been torn down and will probably give place to another fine residence. The old shanty was from its appearance hundred years old, and for long time has been an eye-sore to people in that vicinity. With it's removal most of the old buildings on this avenue have been removed. New and costly residences are constantly being erected in their places.
