A Redueed Dlvidend.

The directors of the Fair Haven and Vest vile horse railroad company held their usual meeting yesterday and declared a semi annual dividend of per cent. on their capital stock, payable on and after July 3. It will bs no- ticed that this is largely reduced dividend and is in fact the smallest dividend that has been paid by this company for number of seasons. It may be accounted for in the fact that it has been to great expense in the pur- chase of new open cars and new rails aud horses and the general improvement of the road in service and otherwise, which is doubt less appreciated by the public. The past winter was very costly and trying one to the company.

The Draw and the Publlc-The Exten- sion of East Grand Avenue-The See 1ectmen.
 The board of selectmen last night voted to refer the repairing of Townsend avenue in the Annex to the committee on roads and bridges with power to act. Selectman Klenke said that teams were of- ten driven across Tomlinson bridge faster than walk. The city would unite with the town in putting stop to such fast driving. The report was accepted. Engineer John E. Powers was appointed special constable to
 see that the order is carried out. He is also to keep people off the drawbridge, as they are in the habit of getting the draw wh en it opens and it interferes with the moving of the draw.
 A profile plan of the proposed change of grade of Greenwich avenue was shown by Engineer Butler. The top of the hill is to be cut down three feet.
 The plan of the Consolidated road for the extension of East Grand avenue from Cen
 ter street was explained by Mir. Butler. The

 As to the Pierpont affair, Mrs. Pierpout is a Plainville woman and was married here about seventeen years ago. Miss Aide ridge was few years the senior of both her and her husband and knew them well. Mr. Pierpont has no children. His wife is a very estimable lady.

 row Night.
 All should hear the very bright, crisp,
 humorous and entertaining lecture "The Army Mule" which Rev. I. M. Foster, the eloquent pastor of the StJohn street church, will deliver tomorrow evening at the church. It is a lecture well worth hearing and the low price, 25 cents, for admission and reserved seats, enables all to hear it.

The days of the war now seem in the dim vista of the past to the new generation that has risen since the great con fiict, but young and old including the war veterans will be well repaid to hear Rev M Foster tell of that redoubtsble, refractory and sometimes invincible quadruped "The Army Mule.n The tickets are obtainable oi any member of the Ladies' Aid society, and can be exchanged without extra cost for re- served seats at Loomis' Temple
