Arrenf ofnRrnnd.

About three weeks ago Harvey L. Brown, 8
 colored man, 28 years of age, bought HOO pounds of old iron from the New Haven Wheel company about three weeks ago, with the understanding that he should return and nav for it as soon as he could cart the iron to the junk shop down town where he regularly disposed of his purchases. He sold the iron, but did not return to the Wheel company . office to settle. The next thing heard from him was that he had left town after borrow ing various sums of money from different parties. Upon information furnished by Detective Brewer, the Hartford police arrested Brown Tuesday night in policy wheel shop. He is a stoutly- built, muscular man, and quite handy with his fists, and knocked down several men before the officers succeed cd in overpowering him. He was brought to this city yesterday afternoon by Detective Brewer and will answer in the City court to- day to charge of fraud. A year or so aQo he swindled the Fair Haven and West vile horse railroad company in similar transaction, was arrested and put under bonds which were forfeited, Brown not ap- pearinp for trial. He also sWindle6 several s6oye dealers in a similar manner.

German Society.

One of the men, most interested in the Platts-Deutche society, under whose auspices was held the parade and picnic last Monday, says that the society, which is not yet fully organized, is intended to embrace all the other German societies of the city and, also, all persons belonging to the different branch es of the great German family. ''It is my idea," he continued, Ito have every man, woman and child of German nationality con- tribute or be represented by contributions to our treasury of 25 cents yearly. This would be burden on no one, but would furnish funds to relieve all Germans who are really in need. In the way propose we could be practically independent of the town. The plan takes well and will probably be carried into execution"
 At Mondays picnic $239. 15 was taken at the gate, admission being 15 cents person.

The Ousatontc Dam F1sbvav.

1ne OuSaGOn1c Dam -F1ShWays
 For some time there has been much grum- bling because no ishway was built at the Ousatonic dam as required by the provisions of the charter granted for it's construction. The fish commissioners have been unable to decide on any fshway that would be accept ed by shad as a suitable road to travel, and it is said that the company accepted the al- ternative offered in the charter and bought the upstream shad fisheries that were af- fected by the building of the dam. MT. P. c. Wells of Roxbury, however, is far from satisfied and writes as follow to the New Milford Gazette:-
 '1 send some letters which will explain themselves The charter for the Ousatonic dam was given in 1868. The State gave the use of the Ousatonic river to the corporators for all time, for which the corporators were to build, keep and maintain 8 suitable fish way over said dam for fish to pass and re- pass, to be under the care of the fish com missioners of the State. The fish commis- sioners are also directed by law to order fshways to be built, naming the time in which they must be com pleted under penalties. Upon investigation made it was found that there was law sufi- cient, the whole matter being in the hands of the commissioners. They gave various req sons for not complying with the law, which directs them to order the corporation to build the fshways. Among these reasons are: That they cannot agree, that they do not know what kind to order, and that they are not sure that one would would work, etc. Now our object is to show the people that there is at least.one responsible company who will build fishway and guarantee it's work ing, so that the commissioners can have no excuse to further evade the law on the sub- ject The people have rights, natural rights, in our noble river that never can be taken away and that never have been or ever can be given up. We hope that this matter will be pressed till we Secure our rights. The State has fulfilled its part of the
 bargain, now we must demand that the cor poration fulfill its part. It must pay the price agreed upon or give up it's charter" It is stated on the other hand that the charter required fshway only for shad, and that the fish commission prescribing no form of fishway, the company has done it's full duty. It is well understood that other fish would pass mp any one of several kinds of ways, and it is the loss of these other fish that makes part of the grumbling.

 The New Britain lodge of Temple of Honor and the East Berlin NJ. E. church and Sab bath school will picnic at the shore on Satur- day the 18th of this month. Landlord Howes of the Railroad restaurant will get up a din ner for the whole party. The attraction at Howes' rink tomorrow night will be an exhibition sn the rollers by Master Porter Clark, who returned from a successful tour last week.
 The w. Y. P. s. c. E. will give musical and ice cream entertainment in the chapel of the M E. church tonight.
 It was predicted in the early part of the season by some of the papers and citizens that it would be a very dull season at the shore. The predictions were not correct. Every cottage has been occupied with one or two exceptions. The hotels have done as well as most of the shore resorts. The private board ing houses have been overcrowded and have had to turn away great many applicants. Mrs. Holmes Ocean cottage on Beach street has been full ever since early in June and there is a large number there at present. Among them we notice Mr. c. Osborn, West field, Mass. Miss Mary J. McMahon, of Pres colt, Ontario; Miss s. McKenna and Miss M Wood, of Hartford, Conn. The house of Mrs. s. l.. Atwood on Home street has been largely patronized. It has been gay season with the cottagers and great many will stay at the shore all this month.
 An Italian rag picker who was making disturbance in his house yesterday was rested by Constable Clinton and lodged in the lookup.

Court Notes.

George NJ. Platt received $40 pension
 money Tuesday, August 26, and immediate
 ly started on a spree, which wound up in tks
 City court yesterday morning. He had spent all but $35 of his money, but his wife
 said that great part of it had been used up
 in paying bills He was sent to jail for sev-
 en days.
 George Schulem, who was accused of stealing an old horse from John Kirtzeraker last October, was allowed to plead guilty in the City court yesterday morning through
 the medium of Attorney Siegwart Spier, who acted as interpreter. He was sent to jail for three months.
 Edward Gallagher pleaded guilty in the City court yesterday for stealing four dol lars in silver from his brothers trunk which was in his house on Castle street, and also of jail last Saturday. He had been there twelve times the last year, this being the
 third occasion of theft. The brother, James
 Gallagher, works hard for his money and is
 discouraged at having it stolen whenever
 Edward gets on a spree The penalties this
 time were made thirty days in jail and s7 fine for theft and S20 fine for drunkenness. l. Alfred Swords was accused in the City court
 yesterday morning by Mrs. Lois Blaisdell, of
 Olive street, of stealing her valuable gold trimmed eyeglasses. The theft occurred April 10. Swords was arrested for drunk enness the other day, and it was discovered that he was the man wanted for the specta- cles theft. He told his honor that he could show that he was not in the city on the day alleged in the complaint. Judge Studley continued the case until to-day.
