BRIDGEPORT, Oct 26.-There is of course
considerable talk about town over the change
in the postmastership. Col. J. w. Knowl-
ton, who retires, it is willingly conceded by
Democrats as we'll as Republicans, has made
a good postmaster and almost as good, COM
paratively speaking, as was Hon. N. d.
Sperry as postmaster of New Haven. Col.
Knowlton's departure from the Office causes
general regret. He was genial and capable
official, made few mistakes, ran the business
in thoroughly business like manner and
leaves few if any enemies, except political
enemies. Col. Knowlton is well remembered
by many New Haven friends. He was one
of the staff officers who participated in the
famous trip of the Second regiment to Wash
ington, the occasion when the Second was
reviewed by the late Gen. Grant. Col, now
Gen. Smith, was then in command of the
gallant Second The history of that famous
trip is still preserved by many a member of
that command. Of Col. Knowlton's dis
charge of his official duties as Bridgeport's
postmaster, and Of his successor, the Bridge
port News of to day says:
"Col. J. w. Knowlton was appointed post
master in this city in October, 1875, and be-
gan his official duties November 1 of that
year. He has held the position continuously
for II years, and has discharged the impor-
tant and esponsible duties of the Office SO
faithfully, ably and creditably as to win the
approval of the entire business communi-
ty, irrespective of party. Under his judi
cious management and keen executive ability
many Improvements have been made, and a
steady growth in the mail service here and in
surrounding towns has resulted. While there
is no doubt that he will shake off the long
worn official harness with a feeling of relief,
it is equally certain that there will be gen.
eral feeling of regret over his retirement.
His successor, no matter who he might be,
will find it difficult to make SO good rec

Edward F. Meeker, the new postmaster,
sis well known in this city. He at one time
held a clerkship in the internal revenue de-
partment under D. F. HOLSTER. At present
he is bookkeeper in the Office of the general
ticket agent of the Naugatuck road and also
clerk of the board of councilmen. He is a
genial and popular young man, but has
never had any great amount of business ex-
perience."

ACCUSED OF ATTEMPTED FRAUD,
The Defense of Three Fire Insurance Com
panies to the Suit of Kreitlein & Schrader.

The s-its brought by Kreitein & Scbrader
against various insurance companies to recover
$36, 900, the aggregate amount of policies on
their goods destroyed by fire some months ago,
attained an additional interest yesterday. The
Farmers Fire Insurance Company of York. Pa,
the Lancashire and Northwestern NatlcHaf, have
filed their answers in which a defense is out
lined on the strength Of clause in the policies
which provides that misrepresentation, conceal
ment fraud or attempt at fraud shall operate as
a forfeiture. At the time of the fire, it is
averred by the defendants the plaintiffs held
$36, GOO IN insurance on a stock of groceries
claimed to be worth $5l 829 49, OF this the
plaintiffs say they lost $46O77.13 by the fire.
This was represented in their formal proofs
of loss delivered to the companies on
May 5, this year, but on the 3lst
of the same month the defendants say
Kreitein & Schrader obtained the proofs and re-
| turned them, amended, by rating the value of
the stock at $52, l43l, and the loss $40 364 81.
1t is alleged that these representations were false
and made with an intent to cheat and defraud
the companies. At no tine, the defendants say,
was the stock worth more than ZOO or $l8-
600, nor did the loss exceed $13, 900 or $4,000
In the examination of the partners, on May 20
and q, each said he put into the business $l9-
0O0,> but the defendants aver that the share of
either Kreltlein or Schrader was not half that
amount. Schrader represented that he put in
$l2, 600 cash within ninety DAYS after the firm
began business, in April. 1884, and afterwards
borrowed for the same purpose 81, 900 from his
brother. This is denied by the defendants.
At the time of the fire Schradergclaimed that
there was in stock 200 barrels of sugar and the
companies will seek to show that the firm had
only seventy six barrels on hand Kreitlein in
this examination it is alleged, said they had 300
or $50 barrels Of sugar. It is averred that they
did not have on hand more than half the amount
of soap claimed. 5000 or $40, 900 worth: that
the matches were not by any means worth ST.
600, nor were 1000 or 5000 cases of canned
goods in stock, nor 300 bags of coffee These
figures, it is charged represent stock from two
to thSae times larger than that actually on hand.
The plaintiffs said the goods saved
cost them 1872. 900 without freight.
but the invoices were lost in the fire.
This the defendants deny, and as to the firms
liabilities, they show that Kreitlein, ON examiu-
alton, did not know whether he and his partner
owed 81 900 or 800, 600 An averment is also
made to the effect that Kreitlen & Schrader
directed the men in removing the damaged stock
from the debris Of the fire to place the worthless
goods on the outside of the pile Afterward
when the goods were sold at auction the firm
bought the damaged stock at greatly reduced
price as the worthless goods hid what was really
valuable.

WELCOMING A NEW PASTOR,
Reception rendered Rev. G. G. Mitchell, at the
Fifth Presbyterian Church, Last Evening.

Not less than three hundred persons assembled
at the Fifth Presbyterian Church, last evening,
to welcome the new pastor, Rev. Geo. G. Mitch
ell, who comes here from Button, Ind. The
church has been without pastor for year.
and it was with great delight that the congrega-
ton welcomed so able a man as Mr.. Mitchell.
There were present all the Presbyterian minis
tiers of the city, and many members Of other
congregations. Dr. II. A. Edison, the moder
ator of the church. who has filed
the pulpit very acceptaby, the past
year, delivered an address of welcome,
on behalf of the congregation It was a great
work, he said, to build up church. 1t takes
faith prayer and work. He knew that there
was hearty welcome for Mr.. Mitchell, and he
hoped the new pastor would stay until the walls
of the church edifice were completed and new
roof on. 1t had often been said that there was
no church in the city more hopefully located
than the Fifth and yet it had not prospered as
it should He hoped Mr. Mitchell, with his in
domitable will and energy. would bring about a
great change.
Rev. G. L. McNutt welcomed the new minis
ter on the part of the ministers of the city. He
congratulated Mr. Mitchell on having the
grace and the grit to come here
for Indianapolis ministers the hardest
worked people in the world They are heart and
soul in their work. Indianapolis, he thought,
was not tho best nor the worst place in the
world, but there was rich field for the work Of
ministers. The field. he sad was white unto
the harvest. There was demand for more la
borers, and for this reason he babe Mr.. Mitchell
hearty welcome
To the two addresses Mr.. Mitchell responded
in feeling manner. On behalf of his wife and
daughter he thanked the gathering for the very.
warm reception. He had come to STAY. He.
came here because he an open door and
large field that needed tlling. He realized that
there was an immense amount of hard work be-
fore him, and he was glad that he had working
ministers around him, for it would inspire
him to greater efforts. eve trust
he said, ito complete this church, and propose
to labor until it is done. 1t is not the sermons
men preach that make them valuable, but it is
the work they do, and the relation Of fondness.
tenderness and kindness that they extend to hui
mainly, to be successful"
There were short speeches by different mem
bers of the congregation, while the ladies of the
church arranged the refreshments in the Sunday
school room, and when the formal reception was
ended, all repaired there, and good social time
was had s3t
The Fifth Presbyterian Church, 80 much of it
as is completed, was erected several years since.
The first story only is finished and has simply
temporary roof. Through lack of funds, the
work was suspended. The plan is for very fine
edifce, and it is the intention of Rev. Mitchell
to do all in his power to have the church com
pleted as soon possible.
