 Mr. Dunn did not occupy a stateroom, but took berth in the lower cabin where he felt safe. Mir. Dunn doesn't think the robbery was done by New Workers. He says that the negro attendant stood watching him when he retired and saw him put the bills in his vest pocket. MT. Dunn had to borrow $2 to get back to New York.

Ex-BOr0ughIGes and Life in CaIIfornia -The One HundredGh Anniversary oI MeIhOdism.
 There were no services in Christ Episcopal church all day last Sunday owing to the ill., ness of the Rev. MT. Whitney.
 Mir. F. M. Robinson, speaking of the num- Der of people that had left West Haven, Fair Haven and other places in this immediate vicinity to go to California last fall, year ago and also this fall, says the Pacific slope is, to his mind, the place to reside, especially the northern portion. Mir. Robinson Is an old resident of California. He would not have returned to West Haven if he could have disposed of his large farm here to ad vantage The wet season there is not more disagreeable than it has been in Connecticut the past fall. In the dry season he noticed large cracks in the ground six to eight inches wide and from six inches to two and one-half feet deep.
 Mrs. Maria l.. Bradley, widow of the late Wm. Bradley, was eighty~on years old last October She is just as keen in intellect and can do large family washing now. she says, as easily as she could in her younger days and not be very tired.
 CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
 There being no services at the Episcopal church last Sunday, many of the members attended Rev. MT. Squires' Congregational church. As the minister entered the pulpit the organ pealed forth g lively voluntary, and as the last note died away the impress sion was conveyed to the writer that the sweet harmony had left peaceful, devout thoughts on the minds of the large congre- gation, who were ready to receive religious instructions, and in accord with the bright, beautiful Sunday morning. The 374th hymn was sung by the congregation. accompanied the choir. After forcible aud comprehen- sive prayer a Bible lesson was read and the 734th hymn was sung The reponsive read ings were followed by prayer and the singing of the hymn beginning, "Thou who didst on Calvary Bleed"
 The Rev. MI Squires chose the words of his text from First Timothy, chapter second, and third verse, which reads as follows: ssFor this is good and acceptable in the sight of God, our saviour" The speaker held the at- tention of the congregation for about an hour, urging upon his hearers the importance of not fencing in Gods boundless mercies. Open wide the doors and windows, he said, and let prayers ascend tor the conversion of mankind. Space will not allow report of the sermon. It was scholarly analysis and delivered in a clear and concise manner. In conclusion he said: Pray that God will that all men be saved; pray for yourself, but do not forget to pray for all mankind.
 Announcement was made that next Sum- day special services would take place in the church, it being one hundred years since John WeeIey,s voice was heard in the cause

 Notes.
 Judge L. P. Deming's lecture tonight will
 be the last of the season. It will commence at 7:45 o'clock at the Second church and will be entitled ''The Continental Divide" The lecture has been handsomely illustrated from photographs taken expressly for Judge Dem ine,s lectures Mir. o. E. Steele will have charge of the stereopticon. The price of ad- mission has been placed at 8 small sum in order to give all 8 chance to hear of the beau ties of the Yellowstone Park. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the Young Peoples Society of Christian Eadeavor. Mrs. Isaac Woodford, who has been very l i'll with gastric fever, continues to improve. The recently established boys club is do- ing we'll and the attendance is very large every evening.
 The Baltimore oyster dealers are complain ing very bitterly of the ineficieney of their oyster navy. The navy consists of twenty vessels, sail and steam, and Is maintained by the State of Maryland at an expense of from $6O, 900 to $100, 900 per year. It is supposed to watch over the oyster interests and see that the oyster pirates do not inter- fere with the grounds of the cultivaters and to see to it that they do not commit other lawless acts. As matter of fact the Baltimore people claim the navy does noth'. ing of the kind and the pirates of Chesapeake do just about as they are minded and hold the navy in little fear. The pirates of Long Island Sound are getting 50 numerous and daring that the local growers think the State would not make any mistake in maintaining navy to catch them. As it is H. o. Rowe & Co.,, Smith Brothers, the Lancrafts and other well known growers have been obliged to hire the schooner Mary and Emma, under command of Captain Thayer, to cruise about and watch for pirates.
 Frank Smith is now conductor on Derby road freight train.
 Schooners are being built at Wilmington, Del, and New London in which Fair Haven parties are largely interested. There appeared to be a little more en- thusiasm over the election in Fair Haven yesterday than in other parts of the city and good many voters seemed to have forgotten altogether that it was election day. The poli- ticians were all much surprised at the small ness of the vote cast.

As result it is now the most overcrowded car on the line. It has been said that the load was too much for three horses to draw up the hill, and yet the car weighs only 500 pounds more than the open ones which are easily taken up the steep grade.
