who built the Humphrey street church, is

Humphrey street church for $4,000. This
was S., 900 lower than any other bidder.
Some of lis New Haven rivals made it diff

he got sawmill, set it up in the next lot
and sawed his own timber. He msde So, 500

years ago loaded his sawmill on to schooner
and went to Florida with it, locating near
Jacksonville. He was very successful there.
Last spring, according to arrangement, his
wife was just starting to go to Florida to see
him when she received letter from him tell
ing her to postpone her visit, and that is the
last word she has ever received from her
husband. Since that time, SO far as she or
his friends know, Andrews has been blotted
from the earth. Mrs. Andrews has several
times written to her husbands business part

any answer. She has also repeatedly written
to the lady friends with whom she stopped
while in Florida a year ago, but they are
equally dumb. 1t is believed that Andrews

The Breakwater,

The bids for executing the further work
on the breakwater authorized by Congress
have been sent to the official headquarters.
Mr.. Beattie, proprietor of the quarries at
Leet's Island, who has executed most of the
work done in the breskwater hitherto, is one
of the bidders. 1t is not known yet who is
the successful bidder. In Branford and New
Haven there are many who are hoping for
his success in the matter, as the execution of
the contract by him will be of much local
benefit in supply work to people, while Mr..
Beattie's business ability and high character
make his success all the more wished for.
Also should the contract come to him it will,
it is urged, make further contract for Con-
necticut stone, instead of having the stone
come from out of the State.
