BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
No Drinking Fountain In WoOste S4uaFe-NeyV Rails on Church Street Other RuaIneRR.

|-NO Drinking Fountain 1n Wooster S4uaFe-Nevv Rails on Church Street Other BusIneSs.
 At meeting of the board of public works last evening Superintendent Ward of the West Haven horse railroad appeared and ex- plained what kind of rails and paving the company proposed to lay through Church street and Howard avenue. Permission was given to lay rail, granite pavement to be laid between and eighteen inches outside the rails on Church street, and also suitable pavement to be laid on Howard avenue.
 From the committee on parks Commission CT Whitney reported in favor of removing trees at these places: No. 137 Wooster street, 24 Oak street, 1s7 Wallace street, Franklin near Chapel, Wallace near the railroad bridge, and the pine trees in Wooster Square. It was recommended by the committee that the Re- publican League club and the Young Mems Republican club be permitted to attach wires in proper way to trees for the purpose of hanging campaign banners. On motion of MT. Crawford the report was accepted and permission given to anyone to attach wires to trees for such purpose, provided it was done to the satisfaction of the superintendent of parks.
 
 ter Square was sent back to the Court of Common Council as there was a lack of funds. The order specified that the money be taken directly from the city treasury, but the Mayor was ot the opinion that specific appropriation was required and on his rec- ommendation the order was returned.
 The building of additional sewers this year came up for discussion. Of the sewerage funds only $15, ,000 is available at present. Mayor York favored the construction of the Howard avenue sewer as soon as possible Commissioner Whitney stated that in his opinion some of the smaller sewers should be built as the need for them was much felt.
 The board voted to authorize the city enpi- neer to advertise for bids for the following sewers Charles street from Orchard street to Dixwen avenue; Foster and Cottage streets from Lawrence to Grange; Forbes place from the bridge to Water street; Exchange street from Blatchley avenue to Poplar street: Ash nun street from Bristol to Eaton street. The total cost of these sewers is estimated at $8,000.
 The monthly bills came up for approval Commissioner Todd refused to approve the bills for watering the streets, holding that the ordinances prohibited the incuTring of ex- pense for any such purpose. As there were but four members present the bills failed of approval last evening.
 On motion of Commissioner Crawford it was voted that the employees of the board be given vacations on the same terms that they were given them last year, the time to be set- tied among the men themselves. E

 lar Young Pastor.
 GUnFoRD, July 3.-A great loss occurred here at o'clock this morning in the death of Father J. H. Dolan, pastor of the St. George R. 0. church. Since his coming here year ago he had brought the affairs of the church to the greatest harmony and was es- teemed by all. He was not considered dan- gerously i'll until Sunday night, when he was taken with more dangerous symptoms of Bright's disease and meningitis. He was located in Birmingham in 1S85-6. He was 8 native of New Haven. His figure was tall, majestic, and his preaching impressive. Dr.. McGlynn was warm friend of his. John Dolan, for many years at the clock shop in this city, was his father. Both parents are now dead. A large estate was inherited by him from his father. He was thirty-on years old. Father Dullard, Father Moore and Father Bedding were his classmates. His funeral is in charge of Frank Keenan of this city, but no date has as yet been fixed.

 HARTFORD, July 3.-The Etna Life Insur- ance company followed up it's libel suit for $50, 900 against the Telegram by causing the arrest of 'Judge" D. c. Birdsall, editor of the paper, to-day. He is charged with pub fishing abusive matter relating to the com-. pany, an offense which is punishable by fine or imprisonment or both. He gave bonds in $500 for his appearance in the police court tomorrow. The alleged libel consists in the publication of an article representing the company to be in bad financial condition and insinuating that some of it's leading officials were likely to flee to Canada. Ex-Mayor Bulkeley, president of the Etna, has long been subject of criticism by the Telegram.
 Birdsall has issued circular giving his side of the case. He is endeavorinR to make arrangements to issue the paper tomorrow. The suspension of the paper, which has long been on ifs last legs according to the Courant. is hailed with joy by Hartford citizens, as the sheet has Of late degenerated into mere in- strument of personal abuse. The course of ehe paper has been fortuitous and the present action will doubtless be it's death.
 Rirdsall was in Meriden yesterday trying to make arrangements to have the Telegram printed there, but hs failed.

A good many of our people will go to Bridgeport to-day to help increase the crowds there and some will patronize the afternoon excursions. The liverymen will do 6 good business and if the weather is fine will have all their teams engaged before noon. Otherwise the day will resemble Sun llay very much.

wn1peEPonr,s CRLEBRATION.

Rnrmdes. Decorations and Fireworks
 to Celebrate Hts Growth.
 Bridpeport's celebration takes place to-day. It will be grand event and many New Ha- veners will be there, besides several New the parade This Fourth of July celebration will proclaim to all creation the semi -centen- nial of Bridgeport. It promises to be one of the greatest Independence day festivals ever held in New England.
 Fifty years ago, or, to be conseientiously exact, ffty-two years ago, Bridgeport was chartered a city. But somehowsor other the celebration idea did not strike the Bridgeport people in 1886. It has struck in very deep at present, and nobody in Bridgeport or the surrounding country is thinking of anything else than the programme for the Fourth of July. The most gigantic preparations have been made for procession, decorations, hre- works and 8. general hallelujah. The dry goods stores are selling nothing but red, white and blue festoonings. The grocers and butch CTS are spreading themselves on providing food for the two hundred thousand people who are expected to be present. The steam boats and railroads are preparing special trips and trains by which all New England and his wife will be brought to see the grand specta- cle. Matches packed in match boxes have lots of room compared with that which will be allotted to the patrons of these special trains and boats.
 Never was Bridgeport so prosperous ss now, or so happy. She is liberal, too, in her jubilation, and has made such generous pro dRision for her Fourth of July celebration as to spread the rejoicing over two days. All the carpenters in the town are busy erecting grand stands from which to view the proces- sion which will pass along the street during the day and to be used again for the fire works in the evening in the harbor, which will be crowded with vessels so gaily illu. minated as to compete with the bay at Naples when Vesuvius is on it's most roaring ram page.

copy of a memorial to the Gen era
Assembly, signed by Mr.. }. M.
Hood. President of the Western
MARYLAND railroad, offering to lease
for a term-of 100 years, renewable
forever. the upper division OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Ca nal, for the
purpose Of constructing an 81 mile
railroad TO connect the Western
MARYLAND road at Cum berland. with
the West Virginia Central and other
roads at that poiut. The company
offers to pay an annual rental OF
$40, 600 for the privilege. This the
memorialist says would greatly IN
crease the business of the balance
of the canal, 100 miles, and relieve
the present financial pressure and
future difficulties of the canal.
The whole subject is now before
the legislature and to their wisdom
we leave it.
