DON'T wANrr aE BRIDGE.

Citizens of Fair Haven VINE oppose
the Proposed Railroad Bridge over
she shore Line Road.
The Selectmen had public hearing IN
Fair Haven yesterday morning on the pro-
posed bridge over the East Grand street ex-
tension and Center street. The building of
this bridge over the Shore Line track has
aroused great deal of interest in Fair Ha-
ven. There is much opposition to it. A
good many property owners turned out to be
heard. Every one who appeared opposed
the bridge. George Hulse was elected chair
man. The improvement will cost about
100000, as the town will have to pay the
entire expense of land damages, bridge and
grading approaches, for there has never been
any layout of the proposed extension.
These extensive changes were petitioned
for in November, 1881. by people who own
property on the heights and want to have
Grand avenue extended across the railroad
SO as to connect with the road constructed on
| the heights in 1876. According to the plan
two grade crossings would be done away with
| by making the bridge do for both. The
| bridge would be 90 feet high from the track,
| and the wall of masonry for the grading OF
| the street would extend from point oppo-
1 5As0 t4o OccOuu SOuSIcS0blOAaA OAOASA ~DOU
/ 100 yards up the hill. Center street would
/ be graded to connect Grand avenue on the
south side, but would not Cross the avenue.
Thus stone wall, surmounted by the
/ roadway, would extend around the northeast
i corner of the Second church. To enable the
people on the northern part of Center street
and on Hill Tor church, street. another grade
will be run from the eastern side of the rail-
road bridge through the yard owned by N.
/ W. Potwine and Miss Laura Thompson to
connect with Hill street, and will be con-
tinued through George Hulss's yard to the
northern part of Center street. The wall
would run nearly even with the top of Pot
wines parler windows, and the Hulse place
would also be shut in
The houses owned by Lyman Grannis and
Mrs. Yale at the southeast corner of Grand
1 avenue and Center street would be also part
ly hidden by the wall. The damages to the
residents near the crossing would be greater
than the benefits to the few on the hill, but
| dangerous crossings would be done away
with and the region beyond the hill would b.
opened mp.
On motion of Town Agent Reynolds 6
| committee was appointed to have the railroad
commissioners visit the place to-day and heal
persons interested. Elk Governor Ingersol
will represent the town at the meeting to-
day in opposition to the layout.

A COLD STORM.

Last Saturday it was hot enough to roast
or boil; yesterday overcoats were needed.
Such is New England weather. Many of our
townsmen wore their spring overcoats yes
terday. The drop in the thermometer called
a halt in the ice business which was so BOOM
ing last week. There was also a lull in the
ice cream and soda water trade and the rush
to the shore was small indeed. People were
content to remain at home instead of dwell
ling or visiting by the sad sea waves. 1t
was cool day and no mistake, especially in
contrast with the recent heated spell.

OBITU AIRY.


Death OF Merritt Ford OF Milford.
Merritt Ford, of Milford, died yesterday.
He was born in December, 1921, and was a
descendant of the earliest settlers of the
town. He Yves man of firm convictions,
carefully expressed as occasion called, kind
and considerate to others, and his estinisble
character won for him the universal respect
and esteem of the community in which he
lived. He was a devout Christian and was
for more than thirty-fve years a member of
the official board of the Methodist Episcopal
church of Milford, occupying both the posi-
ton of steward and[of trustee. For several
years previous to 1882 he assisted in the
jewelry store Of his son, General George II.
Ford, in this city, and is well and kindly re-
membered by many in this city, whose ac-
quaintance he formed here, for his unfailing
courtesy and integrity. Six years ago his
eyesight failed badly, and despite operations
performed by the most skillful specialists in
the country he suffered the loss of the sight
of both eyes, which ives followed by paraly-
sis. He has since been an invalid, but al
ways cheerful, patient and unrepining, and
supported by powerful win and hopeful
spirit resisted the prog ress of disease for q
longer time than physicians and friends
dared to hope. He leaves q wife and one
son, George 81. Ford. The funeral will take
place from the NJ. E. church in Milford Sat-
urday at p. N.

Obituary ofDr. e. M. Lemngvven.

Obituary OF DIR. E. HI. LemngWell.
Edward Henry Lef6ngwell was born in
New Haven and educated at Yale college,
graduating in arts with the class of 1929 and
receiving his medical diploma in 1924. At
the age of twenty-five he sailed for South
America with the view of engaging in the
practice of his profession and resided in the
city of Lima, Peru. during period of three
years. He then removed to Lambayeque, a
town in the north Of Peru, where he remained
until his return in 1884.
While in Lsmbsyeque he married Span
ish lady, by whom he had two children, both
of whom died in infancy His wife, who &C.
companied him to this country, died within q
few months after their arrival. He then
made a short visit to Buenos Ayres, after
which he abandoned his profession and de.
voted himself exclusively to the study of
physical science.
Placing himself under the tuition of the
eminent Professor Cleaveland of Bowdoin
college he endeavored to qualify himself for
professership, and in the winter of n and
40 delivered number of courses of popular
lectures in several towns in Maine.
In 1943 he was elected professor of chem
istry and natural history in the University of
Missouri, and was connected with that insti-

under which he had been laboring for several
years.

souri, he delivered the annual course of lee
lures on pharmacy and toxioology in the
medical department of that institution. He
was subsequently elected professor of chem
istry in the Memphis Medical college, but re-
manned there only two years.
From 1854 to 1858 he was in Boston, and
since that time has been q resident of New

During the last fifteen or twenty years he
has devoted himself almost exclusively to
the collection of engraved portraits and au-
tograph letters, an occupation which he has
pursued under great difficulty, owing to the
partial loss of his sight.
His collection is said to be superior to any
other in America, except that of the late
