AT sH0RT BEACH.

The DwelIers by the Sea Have a Very Successful Praise Service--UnI0m Chapel CroWded-VOcal Talent at the Beach.
 In the Saturday issue of the COURIER allu- sion was made to the physical features of
 Short Beach, such as the rock-ribbed wings of the shore, the cosy cottages, and the de-
 sirable society of the summer residents. Mo-
 tics was made also of the fine marine illumi-
 nation occurring Thursday evening. Last
 Sunday evening the rain that fell to the dis
 comfort of the Sunday visitors at the cotta-
 ges did not put to an end every sensible en-
 ioyment of the day. Every year it has been
 the practice to hold Sunday school in the
 morning and a preaching service in the after
 noon. When there are singers and any lead-
 CT at the beach praise service is held in the
 chapel. Last Sunday the first praise meeting
 of the season was announced, and those who
 have been regular attendants at the summer
 chapel services pronounced the service of
 song that evening, the finest ever heard here.
 To Dr. Beardsley, of Birmingham, who is
 stopping here with his family for three
 weeks, is due the credit of this pleasant and
 exceptionally elaborate servicezof song. The doctor proved himself an able conductor of such an exercise. and received numerous
 commitments for his work. It was surprise
 to him and to all to find such an array of rausical talent at Short Beach at one time. Those who are here come to rest, and yet the doctor succeeded in organizing chorus of dozen who sang as if they were not stingy of their gifts, nor disobliging to the many who congregated in the Union chap al to listen to their excellent efforts. Miss Hunt, professional organist from Me- dine. N. Y., and guest of Dr. Beardsley pre- sided at the organ and Rev. MT. Alvord of Canton Center, Ct., led the scriptual respon- siye service and made ten-minutes address anrouos and neat The programme comprised selections from the Gospel Hymns for the congregation and specials consisted of quar- tette. ffRefugen sung by Dr. Beardsley, Miss | Parmalee of Wallingford, Miss Beecher of l New Haven, and Mir.

rxPHoID FEVER CASES.

Action Taken by the Board of Health. The board of health held it's regular ses- sion last evening. Several communications
 were read and acted upon. A complain, from M. A. Futile of 8 Warren street con- corning disagreeabIe odors from the chemi- cles used by the Yale Iron works was read. It was stated that the use of the chemicals would soon be discontinued and. no action was taken in the matter.
 The privy at A Clark street and the vault at 1S2 Congress avenue were voted abol- ished, the former being only eight feet from the rear of the hohse at S9 Peart street.
 The house No. 10 Dow street was con- plained of as in an unsafe condition and dan gerous to health. Investigation will be made.
 The report of the health officer was then given. He stated that sort of epidemic of typhoid fever existed in the vicinity of Humphrey, State and Wallace streets. Yes terday twelve cases came in, and several others during the week. There are now seven on East street, four on Humphrey. two on Wallace and one on Bishop, Summer Collis and State streets respectively. Inves- tigations had been made and it was found that defective drainage and plumbing existed in about all cases. No real seat or starting point of the disease was found. Several of the sufferers had been drinking water from 2 well on the corner of Humphrey and Wallace streets. Their physicians laid the cause to well water and bad drainage. Prof. Brewer said he thought the cost of one case of the fever would put the plumbing in good order, The board voted to direct the plumbing to be put into proper condition.
 Two pools and liquid messes of filth on the railroad behind Myrtle street were then noticed Seventy-fve persons use the vault here, which is close upon the wall of the cut. It was ordered to be put in 6 it condition to be flushed. The railroad company were notified to inform owners of the property owners that they were liable to prosecution. Cks hoard thsn Adjourned.

The Invention Which Colonel S. ]
 Aum&in hRa Lumf C0mnIeked.

The Invention Which Colonel S. E. Austin has Just Completed. New Haven is the home of many inven- tions. One of the inventions which has re- centIy been perfected here is the Adding machine which Colonel S. E. Austin of Fort Valley, Gs.. has lsbored for long time to bring to satisfactory state of perfection. Colonel Austin came to New Haven about @ year and half ago for the purpose of devel- oping and manufacturing the machine in ' some of the manufacturing shops of the city ' where he could, if necessary, have the aid of skilled mechanics. During the eighteen months which Colonel Austin has resided in the city he has shown his friends some of the machines which worked almost perfectly and could be used to add colums of figures cor nothing short of perfection, to which he has recently brought the machine. which is now very simple and easily worked. On the front of the little invention are nine keys marked with fgnres from to 9, pressure of ones I finger on anyone of the keys moves pointer on a small dial to correspond with the key that is used. For instance, if the pointer is Il at o when the key indicating 2 is pressed | down, the pointer will move to ana cannot go wrong, to either or 8, but must stop at q. The machines are covered with nickel-plated \ cases, are quite ornamental and are smaller | than many typewriters. They are designed ! for the use of accountants, bookkeepers and others who have to devote much time to the | addition of long columns of figures, which can be so easily accomplished with the ma- | chine that much mental strain is avoided by
 | it's use. It will be relief to many clerks to
 | change work from anything that requires
 ! close mental application to adding a column | of figures with the machine by simply pres \ sing the keys.
 The rapidity with which column of fig ! ures may be added by the aid of the ma ! chine is greater than at first supposed. After persons become accustomed to the use of the \ machine, figures may be added much
 | faster with the machine than mental | ly. A young lRdy of this city who
 | is graduate of the High school and is quick
 at adding figures mentally, has used one of | the machines until she has become so pro- \ icent with 1t that she can add given num-
 Der of figures in half the time with the ma- l chine that she can mentally, The machines \ will doubtless come to be as generally used ' as typewriters.
 Several of the machines have been sent to Kansas City where they are highly prized. It is Colonel Austin's intention to have the machines manufactured in this city.
 One of the machines may be seen at Peck's bookstore, Se2 Chapel street.

gtrfckIand's Grocery Store, Corner Of
 compton Street and Winchester Ave.
 nue-Stock Ruined But Insured For
 $I.OOO.
 Smoke was discovered coming from the windows of Stricklsnd's grocery store, corner of Compton street and Winchester avenue, by Officer Dippold shortly before Il o'clock last night. Alarm 523 was immediately sounded. MT. Strickland occupied room over the store and his first knowledge of the fire was when the coming fremen awoke him. The origin of the fire is unknown. It
 began near the kerosene can and quickly ran over the store. Boxes of firecrackers on the shelves were discharged and made things lively for a while The stock of the store Is badly damaged. Insurance on stock and fur
 niture amounts to $1 GOO and the loss will ] probably equal it. The building was owned | by Richard Bradley. A large crowd gathered ! about the place. and it was over half an hou1 before the fire was out. The hose, which rar \ across the Northampton track to the nearest hydrant, had to be taken apart during the ac | tion to let a freight train pass.
