FAIR HAVEN.


General Items Of Local Interest. About half of Fair Haven went to the city 1 last night to get the election returns. Two "unknowns" will be in the five hour go-asayou- please race at the Quinnipiac rink next Saturday evening. There is a great deal of rivalry between Allen and Monahan, who l are entered for the race, and Allen has offer ed to bet $25 that he will defeat Monahan I The latter will take the bet. The Fair Haven sporting fraternity will back Monahan to de- feat Allen and to win the race. There are already fifteen entries for the race and nine are expected during the next few days. Oscar J. Hull has nearly completed the i'm provements on his building at the corner of Chapel and Lloyd streets. Another story and another tenement has been added, mak- ing six in all, and the large store has been
 divided off into two.
 The Fair Haven oyster dealers are to send to Virginia for another cargo of oysters The schooner which brought the load recently re- ceived has been chartered and Captain Chas. Robinson Is the charter master. The Virginia oysters are opened and used to supplement
 the local stock.
 The Fair Haven police were called upon to make but five arrests last month.
 The Y. P. s. 0. E. of the First Congrega- tional church of Fair Haven, of which the Rev. Burdett Hart is pastor, was rather un- successful with the long talked of debate on the presidential question. When the time came for choosing the speakers to take up the different sides not a youdg man could be found who would uphold the Democratic po- sition, so ardent was the spirit of party feel ing. The debate consequently fell through. All the young men were ardent Republicans except two or three who were Prohibition ists, and they fell into line and voted the Re. publican ticket.
 A large crowd attended the entertainment in the Quinnipiac rink given by the Young America Base Ball association Monday even ing, There was an exciting game of polo be- tween 8 team under William Weber and Michael Brennan, which was won by the for mer team with the score of to g.

BOLD CASE OF swINDLING.
Town Agent ReynoIds' Name Forge,
 10 a Letter of fIn9r0duckiOn.

Town Agent Reynolds, Name Forged
 Co a Letter Of fInsr0ductiOn.
 A bold case of swindling was attempted at Meriden on Saturday. On Friday afternoon mau giving his name as John B. Stanford came to the Winthrop hotel and registered. On Saturday he called at the store of Blair Brothers, the jewellers on East Main street, and wanted to buy gold watch. In pay ment he offered @ check for $75 on John Wanamaker of Philadelphia. MT. Blair asked the man to identify himself, which he did by exhibiting letter purporting to come from Town Agent Reynolds of New Haven to Mayor Davis of Meriden in which MT. Key holds asked Mayor Davis to showS Anford all the courtesies in his power.
 Mir. Blair suspecting that SOL sth1ng was wrong refused to take the check. Soon after Stanford returned with Bookseller stephen McOabe to whom he exhibited letters of in- troduction from New York parties with whom Mir. McCabe was acquainted. Mr. Me Cabe, however, told Mir. Blair that he did not know Mir. Stanford personally and Mr. Blair refused to honor the check. Saturday afternoon Stanford disappeared. telegram sent by Chief Ford to Town Agent Reynolds in New Haven brought back reply from MT. Reynolds that the letter of introduction from him to Mayor Davis was forgery. He gave Stanford letters but only to parties in New Haven. Stanford is scarce up 70 date, but Blair Brothers are happy because they haven't his check.

Which Cedar HIll and Twelfth Ward
 People, Fair Haven, Have in View. People living around Cedar Hill and the Twelfth ward are actively engaged in furth- ering plan by which Blatchley avenue, which now (sinee it's recent extension) termi- mates just before 1t crosses State street, may be continued to Gamer street, thus making a continuous passage from Grapevine Point through Blatchley avenue and Gamer street to Prospect street.
 Petitions are being drawn up and already many of the prominent residents of that vicinity have subscribed to the effort. Trso- ings have also been made by the board of public works.
 Blatchiey avenue was lately heightened, an iron bridge having been built over the rail road cut near State street. The idea of the petitioners is to further extend Blatchley ave- nue across State street, Cedar Hill avenue and View street and across the meadows to the foot of Gamer street.
 Gamer street connects with Prospect street near the Winchester observatory. This would save people of the Twelfth ward mak- ing large circuit of at least mile and 6 half when they wished to go to the Prospect street or Whitney avenue partition of the city or to the Niller's garden section, and by the new street they could accomplish the jour ney in half the time taken at present.
 The new street would have to be built across the meadows below East Rock, but 1t has been estimated that not over 1,200 feet of spiling would be necessary to cross the meadows from Cedar Hill.
 The proposed change would increase the value of property about the upper end of Prospect street, Whitney avenue and Cedar Hill and bring the land occupied by the Cold Spring and college woods into the building market

 Eager, iostling crowds of men, boys and some of the more enthusias tic of the ladies filled the principal streets between State, Church and Chapel from an early hour last evening till quite late. Everybody was breathless with one thought, and that was to know the latest returns from Connecticut. New York and the few other doubtful States.
 Cheer upon cheer announced for blocks away the receipt of some new intelligence, and the rush of people crowded the thor oughfares until passage was almost impossi- ble. Orange street, from Chapel to Crown, was a surging jam of humanity from to il o'clock, and before the Register office, where returns were displayed upon a canvas by stereoptieon, the dense crowds were pack ed up like huge snowdrifts against the buildings Loomis' Temple of Music, where the Republican town committee announced election returns, was crowded and jammed till it could hold no more, and the street out
 
 people. The latest news, as it came in, was given by Chairman Hugh Daley from the stage.
 Before the Insurance building, upon the north side of Chapel street, was packed an- other crowd, which watched the transparent bulletin displayed from the windows of the Young Mems Republican club headquarters.
 All along Church street men were hurrying to and fro giving the street the appearance of one of the busiest of Saturday night Chapel street times. Every post or window at which bulletins were exhibited was besiged by g dense crowd. All through Chapel street, from Church to State, the people fecked by the hundreds, moving here and there from bulletin to bulletin as fresh returns were dis played.
 Opposite the COURIER office on State street another immense gathering stood watching the figures cast upon huge piece of white canvas stretched between two high poles. The streets were crowded till midnight and scattered groups of men gathered here and till the early hours of the morning in animat- ed conversation over the results.
 The Republican league club house was crowded with members who eagerly received the retnrns. The league had special wire and telegraph operator in their rooms, and were constantly receiving returns via the Western Union lines.
 Late in the evening some of those who had listened to the announcement of returns mis- trusted that the returns which were favor able to the Democrats were announced to those in waiting while the news that was fs- vorable to Republicans was withheld, and it was rumored that some of the Democratic stuff was manufactured for the occasion.

Osborn, the manager of the Singer Sewing Machine company in Hartford (formerly of New Haven) discover ed last Friday morning morning that his wife had eloped on the day previous with Jacob Miller, young dyer and boarder at their house. Mrs. Rifenburg is considerably older than the man for whom she forsakes her home and children. She has been mar ried twice, and is the mother of eleven ohil- dren. Two of her daughters have been not ed prostitutes in Germantown, N. Y., and it is to their influence and plotting that the de- serted husband attributes his shame and dis- grace. He declares that they were always
 trying to get hold of his own daughter, who
 lived with the mother in North Adams,
 and who is a beautiful girl, seventeen
 years of age. Miller, he says, is in league
 with them. The eldest daughter was at one
 time the wife of Clarence Schultis of Ger
 msntown, then eloped with sewing machine
 agent named Sharp and Is now living with a
 man named Angie of New York. As long
 ago as last September Mir. Rifenburg was

 time he obtained positive proof that they
 went to Troy and remained together for some
 time. MT. Rifenburg took with her $40 back
 pension money which her husband had de.
 posted in the bank in her name. She is 45
 years old Miller is 55 years old, unmarried
