 The Poisoned MILK.
 The family of William Hyland, contrac- tor at the clock shop, has been made sick by drinking milk in the same manner as Police man McAvoy's. The same dealer furnished the two families. At first it was supposed that someone had poisoned the milk, but that theory is now exploded, as a Franklin street family has also been afflicted in the same way.
 NEW HAvEN's GROWTH.
 A Glance At The Increase Of Prop
 erty Which SVyells New Haven's
 Grand List For The Ensuing
 Year-SOme Of The More Notable
 New Buildings Recently Erected
 Many New Small Buildings.
 The assessors are busy at their annual task of assessing property not already assessed, which includes the many new houses and improvements of homes built in the city and town since the last assessment The past year has witnessed no great addition to taxable property in the line of new business blocks or other large buildings Fewer large buildings have been erected ill New Haven than usual, but nearly all the carpenters and masons have been kept busy all the year, and work having been brisk with them most o< the time. This was owing to the erection of, large number of small new dwellings. The improvements in this line have been most o5 ood 1,otieaah1e in Fair Haven New hallville, the northern part of the city above Humphrey street, and ln the Kimberly avenue and Oyster Point region. In each of these sections many new dwellings have been erected. Probably no locality has grown more rapily in the past year than the Kimberly and Howard ave nue and Oyster Point sections There have been no costly new churches erected in this city in the year past. One church. has been erected-that at Cedar Hill for the Union mission, at the private expense of MT. Hiram Camp, president of the Clock company. There has been, as usual, considerable done in the city in the erection of buildings for manufacturing purposes. MT. J. B. Sargent has, as usual, enlarged his immense manu- factory by two large four or five-story build ings each about 300 feet in length. These are now filled win machinery for the manu- facture of locks, branch which MT. Sargent has added to his already extensive line of manufacturing. A large number of locks will now be made at Sargent's probably 200, 900 in the next year. The New Haven Clock company has added another large building to their already immense establish ment It is inside the hollow square formed by the array of buildings occupied in the wood work, or lease side," of the man ufactory In the new building fancy clocks of new designs will be made in addition to | those which the concern is already sending to customers almost everywhere. The Win l nc&o h1 5cIT hoe been further enlarged by the erection of | new buildings and the building | of large number of annealing | furnaces. At the Whitney armory the build | ing extensively damaged by fire some months ago has been rebuilt and improvements add | ed owing to increased demands. The L. Can dee Rubber company has also much enlarged two of it's inside buildings in the past year. Ex Governor English has erected a number | of brick blocks, which rent well to good | class of tenants, and not few private resi- dences have been erected costing from S5, 900 l to $15, 900 each. MT. Enos s. Kimberly s | new residence on Orange street and the two | blocks of residences erected by Major T. At | water Barnes, one on Bradley street, the oth- | CT (aow being finished) on the corner of Or ange and Bradley streets, and the new resi- | dences respectively of the Misses Baldwin, l Mir. Sheldon and MT. Mcdonald, all on Ed wards street; the new residences respectively | of Mr. Ives and MT. Bostwick on Orange | street near Edwards, are among the best houses built in the city in the past year. | Yale's two new buildings now in process | of erection, Lawrance dormitory on the Col 1 lege street side of the campus, next the 1 Farnam dormitory, and the Y. M. c. A. | building on the High street side, between 1 the alumni building and the library, are | notable buildings, but will probably come in | next years enumeration, they are not much advanced. The first story of the Lawrance dormitory is about completed. It's l foundations and water table cost more than a good sized dwelling. The foundation work | is in red East Haven sand stone. The | building will be five stories high and there l will be sixteen rooms in suite of two on each
 of the floors. The building will front in
 ward as well as the Y. MIG. A. building. On the College street side there will be out beyond the towers. The architectural embellishments will very pleasantly relieve | the straight lines of the different stones. | Smith & Sperry are the builders. The cellar | of the Yale Y. M. c. A. building is about
 completed. This building will be seventy l eight feet in height from ground to peak.
 The principal material is East Haven sand stone. The building will have large porch | fronting the campus, ample reading room
 on the first floor, large hall on the second floor and library and three smaller apart | ments The staircases and railways will be I | ished. Chatfeld & Grant are the masons | Cody, of New York, the architect, and Clark 6 Thompson the joiners. The two build
 ings help to complete theAinward fronting
 quadrangle of college buildings. The new
 Yale secret society building on the corner o
 Trumbull and Prospect streets is an elegan
 stone structure.
 This year there has been no large schoo
 building erected, but one will probably b.
 erected within year or two in the Win | chester district, or else the Winchester schoo
 will have to be enlarged.
 . The New Haven Gas Light company ha } been obliged to considerably enlarge it's mail
 building.
 Mr. Hoyt, of Lee & Hoyt, has the fram up and sheathed for new and attractiv i; l frame residence on the corner of HoWarC
 avenue and Spring street. It will com pare we'll with the various new residence
 erected on Howard avenue in this vicinity | in the last few years, most of which COS from $5, 900 to $1O,O00 to build. It stand
 next to MT. Hoyt's residence.
 MT. Sloan, the real estate agent, is erect E ing for the owner a new frame house on tn
 continuation of Rosette street (on the olt
 base ball grounds), and another similar res
 idence is being erected close by, and stil another on Spring street near the bal
 grounds.
 Also among the new houses of some not
 is the large new brick block of Mr. Matthew
 Cunningham on the corner of Franklin ant
 William streets and built by Gallagher
 Reilly. masons, and Robert O'Connell, car
 penter and builder. It is block of two
 houses, three stories high with attic, and
 well finished, with one story addition o1
 the corner which has been supplied with
 large baking oven and other apparatus fol
 the bakery business. MT. Cunningham ha
 carried on the bakery business on Grant
 street near Hamilton, in Edward Malley' building, for about nine years past. H.
 came here from New York. He has rented
 his entire block and has not yet decided whether to rent or to occupy the store
 MT. Edward Hammill, the veteran
 mason builder, who has now retired from active business to enjoy the fruit
 of 8 well earned competency, and who bull , many of the new stores and houses on Gran,
 street and vicinity, wildly recalls thirty three years ago when he and the late la , mented Colonel Cahill and one or two other
 were the pioneers in building new houses ol Franklin street above Grand, there being thirty-three years ago but very fev houses on the street and thos | old and timeworn. Now the street is full o a houses and there is hardly an available build
