The Annex to be Thoroughly PO-
 Hced-The Fire's Smoking Embers
 Other Late Events.
 At the meeting called to decide whether or not to have the Annex patrolled by officers, held in the old engine house last Saturday night, there were many citizens present. At 8 o'clock precisely Major H. H. Strong, war den of the borough, called the meeting to order. Dr. Henry E. Stone, one of the most prominent and public spirited residents of the east side, arose and spoke strongly in favor of having police protection. He thought that the time for having some kind of protection had arrived. He was with him on every point. No one spoke against the movement and motion to lay 8 two mill tax for the hiring of officers was car ried without opposition. The meeting ad- journed at S:15. Two officers will be hired at once, either being selected from men in the Annex who will act as special constables, or else two supernumeraries from the city de pertinent will be hired. It is thought that two men will be sufficient for the present, one of them doing duty in the day time and the other in the night. It has been proposed that three men be hired so as to have two on duty in the night, and if it is found neces- sary to have more than two men altogether the suggestion will doubtless be adopted.

 The churches were all well attended yes- terday although there were not so many peo- pie out as there were last Sunday. The fire early Sunday morning may have had some- thing to do with the diminished attend ance, as nearly everybody was on hand and many doubtless slept long yesterday morning in consequence.
 N A. Tanner has announced that he will resign as member of the Quinnipiac Quoit club as soon as he has played off the tie game between himself and Charles H. Miller, what ever the result of the game. MT. Tanner predicts the speedy dissolution of the club, He thinks that he has not been treated fairly in the championship games.
 The Quinnipiac base ball club has dis banded for the season. The club has played some excellent games the past season and will reorganize early in the spring. Several new men will play with the team, and if the nine begin practice as early as they intend to now they will have strong club.
 Nearly all the Grand Army men in Fair Haven went to town to hear Rev. pr. Peck preach last evening.
 Crowds of people visited the remains of the brewery yesterday. The embers were smoking all day long, and stream of water from hydrant was kept on the ruins for fear they might rekin- die. The residence Ot Widow Mallory situated next the brewery was saved from fire, but many of the things were ruined by the nasty manner in which they were carried out when it seemed as though the house must burn down. Numerous articles of furniture were broken and $50 in money which was lying in Mrs. Mallory's bureau drawers was stolen. Much other damage was done.
 There is law which imposes penalty for owners to allow certain kinds of weeds to go to seed on their premises. Some portions of the east side are literally covered with weeds of the kind prescribed by law, which are scattering seeds broadcast over the land adjoining with every wind that blows. Citizens who comply with the law and cut down the weeds on their land before they go to seed naturally object to having the seeds from their neighbors' neglected premises sown on their own.
