A Colony of Rats Circumvented.


 MT. George Blakeman, president of the New Haven Steam Heating company, has a rat trap of his own invention, which he uses to circumvent and decimate the rats which subsist in his stable and surroundings. The rats at one time were very numerous and saucy and this led him to get up his trap Although no patent has been applied for it, it works wonders and has thinned out the number of rats about the premises amazing ly. Over one hundred sleek, fat fellows have been trapped by it and been sent to where the woodbine twineth. Recently he found in the trap old settler, who from his size and prowess must have been com mander- chief of the rats. He measured from point of nose to tip of tail IS IA inch es and looked large enough to give battle to 8 medium sized cat with chances of victory about even. The trap was too much for it and it was dispatched by means of pasent choker unattached to the trap,

A Lady scares Burglars With a Horn

From the MeadvlHe IrIDuneJ
 plucky young lady residing in this city, about 8. m. hearing some persons, whom she supposed to be burglars or robbers, try ing to gain an entrance into the house through the back door, gently arose and, placing 8 tin horn against the keyhole, blew the horn for all there was in it, whereupon the would-be burglars lit out at the fastest possible gait. In less than two minutes the whole neighborhood was aroused and two policemen, who heard the horn, immediately put in an appearance and searched the neigh borhood, but no one was found, the tramps having escaped through the back way, on hearing the first toot of the horn. There was no one in the house at the time but the young lady and her mother, and the formers act was therefore all the more courageous.

 Captain Moore, of Winsted, and his bal loon, in which he made an ascension from Watertown fair grounds on Thursday, made the distance to North Guilford, forty-six miles, in thi1ty-fve minutes. He left the fair grounds at $40 p. m. and landed at North Guilford at 4:15. In his rapid jour ney he passed over Waterbury, sighted New Haven and the Sound and Long Island. He figures that when over Waterbury the bal loon was little over 8 mile high. When he saw that his air ship was headed for Long Island Sound he was a little alarmed and made haste to descend. He was well up above the clouds for some time. When over North Guilford hills the first sound he heard was the cawing of crows. Crows, MT. Moore says,, have great fear of balloons, thinking it to be an aerial monster that is after them. The balloon landed on David D. Chittendep's farm, quite near Quinnepaugh Lake. Plenty of people were on hand soon to welcome him and there was big entertainment among all the boys for miles around Capt. Moore passed through here yesterday going home tc Winsted. He is an ex-adjutant of the Fourth regiment, c. N. G. He is thirty eight years old and weighs 16O pounds.

True merit deserves success. It is not all ways attained, showever. Meritorous deeds sometimes are unnoticed and many persons who are entitled to recognition and reward pass along without receiving what is justly their due. The Niagara Laundry company has earned the success that has crowned their efforts. The quality of work done at their establishment, corner of State and Court streets, has never been surpassed. The public were not slow to recognize that fact and award them the praises to which they are entitled. One thousand pleased custo- mers testify to the excellence of the work done at the Niagara laundry.

TAYLOR CHURCH.

Tribute to Rev. MT. Clark, Who
 Soon Leaves for a Year in Europe.
 The church sociable held in the vestry of the Taylor Congregational church Thursday evening, 24th inst, was largely attended by members of the church and society. After an hour or two spent in chat they were in vited by the ladies to sit down to bounti- fully spread table of substantial food fanked by delicious fruit and beautiful flowers. Af- ter doing justice to the good things for the inner man MT. John N. Krapp, in 8 neat and touching speech in behalf of the church and friends, presented the pastor, Rev. Daniel w. Clark (who is about to sever his connec- tion with this church), a beautiful writing case as slight token of their friendship and esteem. MT. Clark, taken by surprise, ac- cepted the gift with deep feeling and an ap- propriate reply, concluding with the prayer that although all might not be permitted to meet again on earth they might all be per- mitted to meet in that better world prepared for the children of God.
 The Rev. MT. Clark, who has labored so successfully with this church for the past two years, is about to spend year in Euro pean travel, and goes with the best wishes of all for his prosperity and happiness.

 Temperance Meetings Personal
 Items.
 Michael Halloran of Poplar street, who broke his collar bone last Wednesday, is do- ing nicely and will probably be able to be out again in week or SO.
 The HBoy Helpers" missionary circle, are making arrangements for giving sup per in the First church parlors September 30. The admission fee will be twenty-five cents, which will also include ticket for supper. It is intended to make the affair 8 most enjoyable one and the proceeds will be devoted to missionary work.
 The Sunday afternoon temperance meet ings will not be held in the Quinnipiac rink any more. Major Lincoln donated the use of the rink to the w. c. T. U. branch early last summer but when the management changed hands the ladies who were manag- ing the meetings were informed that they would have to pay ten dollars per year for the rink. As the collections would not average this amount they were obliged to seek other place for their meetings and have ob- tained the use of the Grand street Baptist church for the present. Efforts will be made, it is said, to secure Central hall for the winter. The meetings have been we'll attended since they were first started.
 Frank Norton of North Quinnipiac street has returned from Haddam where he has been stopping for quite while for the bene- nG or Q1S n6alGn. lie IS aIn1Cb6O WltQ a O1S- ease which is said to be cancer. He has been benefited by his visit.

 The police question meeting which will be held tonight will no doubt be largely at tended. There has been much discussion among the citizens regarding the matter dur ing the past few days and something will doubtless be done towards having the East side properly protected. As one gentleman remarked yesterday the question was only one of time and in his opinien it was high time now.
 The interest in the question as to who will have the postofice is unabated, but the con- dition of affairs remains unchanged.
 It is rumored that the Quvit club will dis band, the cause being the recent dissensions that have sprung among the members.
