 with the Adams Express company. Miss Lottie Jerome, daughter of Rev. B. M Jerome, is dangerously i'll with an attack of typhoid fever. Some weeks ago Miss Je- rome was taken ill with malarial fever, be- ing confined to the house most of the time Yesterday the disease assumed the form of typhoid fever.

 Yesterday morning the funeral services
 over the remains of the infant child of A. | Dematty, the shoe dealer, took place from | the latter's home on Perkins street. Rev. E. T. Sanford, rector of the Grace l church, is stopping at Block Island for a few weeks with his family.
 Yesterday afternoon A. Dematty went to 1 the house of Horace Baldwin, whose dog bit his four-year-old daughter Mamie severely Wednesday afternoon, and had the animal
 shot. The little girl is doing we'll, but the
 report of the dog cases published exclusive | Iy in yesterday morning 'sCoURIER has set the | citizens of Fair Haven to thinking, and the l dog that acts at all strange for the next few
 weeks, it is safe to say, will stand poor
 chance of living.
 For several hours yesterday morning all 1 the Fair Haven cars going cityward were
 heavily laden with parties who were going 1 to attend the State temperance picnic at l High Rock Grove. It is estimated that two hundred from Fair Haven were present.
 Dr. Bushnell, the dentist, and John T. Hillhouse, the druggist, the noted Fair Ha- ven anglers, went to Clinton yesterday by
 rail, from whence they got to Faulkner's
 Island by boat for days sport with the
 hook and line Mr. George Corbin, another l expert fisherman, accompanied them. It 1 was expected when they arrived home last l night that an express wagon would have to
 be summoned before the results of their out ing could be transported home.
 The name of the young man who was in the team that was run into on Howard ave nue Wednesday is William Terry, of this place. The name of the young lady who was l with him at the time and who so narrowly 1 escaped fatal injury is Miss Lizzie Connors,
 also of Fair Haven. The full particulars were given yesterday morning.
 arising over the question to whom shall
 belong the honor of acting postmaster at | the branch office has now apparently reached 1 fever heat. David Henderson, who has all along been the most prominent candidate fo1 | the position, is said to have sure ''pull, ; l although the majority of citizens are of the 1 opinion that if any change is made that some gentleman whose name has not yet
 been coupled with the office to any public
 extent will step in and take the prize. Arrangements are being completed which | will tend to render the Hose company's Glen
 Island excursion the most popular one of the season.
