General Notes That Will Interest Fair
 Haven Residents.
 A horse and wagon was found on the east side yesterday morning and was supposed to have strayed from Oyster Point.
 Arthur F. and James s. Hemingway went to Baltimore to attend the wedding of Miss Julia, daughter of Mrs. Jesse Ludington, to Harry G. Evans, which took place at the Sec ond Presbyterian church.
 The Democrats of Fair Haven are to hold a rally at the rink tonight, on which occasion they will try to fill the rink.
 Voters of Fair Haven who are to be made this fall and who have failed to take the preparatory steps should remember that at 5 o'clock this afternoon the time is up.
 The Boys club will soon be opened near the postoffce. Over $400 has been pledged for the maintenance of the club and as soon will be opened. Among those who have al- ready contributed are Herbert Barnes, Sam uel Hemingway, Lucius Rowe, H. R. Smith, H. H. Strong, D. D. Mallory, Thomas Fer- syth, L. w. Moody, 0. w. Hemingway, O.J. Hull, E. E. Ball, H. W. Crawford, John o. Rowland, Hobart B. Ives, s. M. Munson, Mrs N. Linsley, s. R. Biatohley, George N. Bald win, Dr. W. H. Thomson, Dr. E. 0. M. Hall, Nelson A. Beebe, H. L.

 The fishermen have met with poor luck
 
 by this time, but they have not as yet put in an appearance very largely. Some few are caught at the docks however.
 Orders are quite plenty at the wire mill at present, and some thirty~hve men are at work.
 Ex.City Attorney Julius c. Cable is quite 8 pedestrian. He frequently walks from his Lombard street residence to his office in the city and back, and some days makes three trips. He averages five or six miles day.
 The Electric Motor in New Haven.
 Few people are aware how general this power is coming into use. During the past six months unusual activity has been dis played and many motors have been placed in this city. There are something like twenty motors in daily operation, ranging from one eighth horse power to ten horse power, and it is expected that the number will be more than doubled between now and spring. The motors are so compact and require so little attention that in several instances they have actually displaced steam and gas engines. Power can be supplied in situations where steam or gas would not be allowed, and in- surance rates are not advanced thereby.
 It seems marvellous that so much power can be transmitted through two copper wires. A one horse pony motor, weighing about two hundred pounds and occupying space only two feet square, can be put in operation by 8 child at @ moments notice. The light weight and small space required for even larger powers are reasons why the electric motor is so applicable to horse railroad lines, and probably it will not be long before New Haven will see some of it's cars moving by electricity. Most of the motors here have been built by the Denison Electric company, which has just sold out to MT. J. F. Denison, its former electrician. Mir. Denison is build ing motors of his own design. and lately has bought out some very neat attachments which command notice at once to those in- terested in the subject. In speaking of the uses to which motors can be applied, MT. Denison informed us that they were almost without limit up to twenty-five horse power in situations where the electric light wires were to be found, and that the range was even greater where cheap water power Is available.
 "I do not confine my work entirely to cleo trie motor," said MT. Deuison, "but also build incandescent dynAmos, and find there is quite demand for apparatus of special nature. am at present building dynamo and other experimental apparatus for the Sheffield Scientific school, and have orders continually requiring original research. l shall carry in stock full line of motors from five horse power down, and can build larger sizes at short notice."
 He will be happy to exhibit his machines to those interested at his ofhce, No. 15 Cut Ter building.
