GEORGE eRIswoLD's FUNERAL.


 Burial of an old Stage Driver in Com
 necticut.
 BRIDGEPORT, Feb. S.-George W. Gris- wold's funeral took place at his late resi- dence, 221 Main street, yesterday afternoon at two o'clock, the Rev. Charles Ray Palmer, of the North Congregational church, officiat- ing. The interment was at Mountain Grove cemetery. The pail bearers were R. B. Lacey, Russell Beers, Horace F. Hatch, Stiles Hall, E. Birdsey and H. H. Porter.
 Griswold was the oldest mail coach driver in New England. He was among the last of the old set of stage drivers in these parts who were superseded by the railroads. His mission began long before a railroad had been thought of as possible. He was born in 1905 in the town of Litchfeld, and remained long enough among his native hills to acquire @ hardy constitution. About the year 1920 he went to Danbury, and in the employ of Hiram Barnes commenced his ca reer as a stage driver, remaining till 1928, when he went to Norwalk and drove on the steamboat stage line between that place and Bridgeport, remaining until 1885. It was during this period that the exciting steam boat opposition between the Pecks and Cor neIius Vanderbilt took place, one running the steamer Fairfield, the other the Nimrod. From 1885 till 1844 he was employed in driving on the New York and Boston mail line, once each way daily. The line conducted by him afforded the only mail facilities for the shore towns and fed the interior postofices. From 1S44 till the opening of the New York and New Haven road, in 1850, Mr. Griswold drove between this city and New Haven. The introduction of railroad trains soon made l it apparent that his occupation was gone. He bent to circumstances, however, and for many years was ticket agent for the very company he had opposed, and later was g trusted conductor. His active career of near l ly fifty years was terminated in 1868 by 6 l stroke of paralysis.

THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.

The Various Meetings Held 1n the City Last Evening-GrOwth of the Movement.
 Not many months ago few reformed
 men held temperance meetings in an obscure
 building on East Chapel street. Last night
 there were at least four temperance meetings in the city, and the attendants were num-
 bered by the thousands. The Good Sa1nari-
 tans, the pioneers in the Sunday night tenn
 perance meetings, filled Bunnells Museum,
 the Temple of Honor crowded the American
 Theater, Harmony division, Sons of Temper
 ance, conducted an enthusiastic meeting at
 the Seamen's Bethel, and goodly number of
 people gathered to hear the temperance
 lecture at English Hall.
 This shows two things; that there is a great interest in temperance and that there are hundreds of people in the city not in- cluded in the churches who want some place
 to go on Sunday nights. The working peo- pie find in the Sunday night temperance meeting, as now conducted in this city, the element of light entertainment they wish and the speeches on temperance are closely followed. There are now probably 1,200
 active members of tbe temperance societies 1AOo
 signers.
 The Good Samaritans had large crowd
 at their meeting. John G. North delivered an address of much power. About twenty persons signed the pledge.
 The Temple of Honor inaugurated series
 of temperance meetings at the American Theater last night. Gardner c. Clark, wor-
 thy chief templar, presided. Sylvanus But Ter and F. D. Luddington made telling ad- dresses. There was singing and instrumental
 solos by members of the American Theater | orchestra. Among those who occupied the
 stage were Chas. D. Hall, Moses Thomas, Rev.
 J. w. Denton, Wm. Lee, A. J. De Long, J. H:
 Jacocks, W. s. Perry and other members of the Temple of Honor. Press Eldridge an
 nounced that he would supply the entertain
 ment part of the meeting, and as good speak 1 CTS will be furnished by the temple, the l meetings are sure to be interesting and pro ftable. Twenty three signed the pledge last ! night. Over 1000 were present.
 At the Seamen's Bethel last evening Har- mony division, s. of T., held temperance
 meeting. Addresses were delivered by Rufus S. Pickett, H. G, Shepard and Charles E. Hart.
