THE JOHNsrOWN CALAMITY.

New Haven's Chamber of Commerce to Meet This Noon-References to the Disaster In she Churches. The news of the terrible calamity at Johns- town, Pa., causes a widespread feeling of sympathy and sorrow throughout the land. Everywhere about the city yesterday, when the extent of the appalling disaster became known, the subject was discussed and sorrow expressed. In many of the pulpits yester- day reference was made to the disaster. Among the clergymen who alluded to it were Rev. Dr. Munger at the United church, Rev. Dr. Todd at the Church of the Redeemer and Rev. Mir. Markwick at St. John street M. E. church. New Haven's Chamber of Com meree will take action this noon in behalf of the relief fund for the sufferers. A meeting of the chamber is called in another column by President Dewell and no doubt New Ha- ven will make a response worthy of its his tory and record in similar appeals. Entertainments.

 FAIR HAVEN. Happenings over Sunday-Mr. GOode. Rough,s SermoR-MOw she Ant1-CeR- senQatIOn Measure Was Knocked OuI-PersOnaI Mention-Brief Notes of General Interest.
 Attorney w. F. Niles, who, as counsel for the residents of the Annex, scored such mo- table victory for his side of the consolidation question, has been receiving the congratula- tions of his friends for the past few days over the manner in which he outwitted the ene- my. Things had begun to look dubious for the opponents of the consolidation scheme, and the adherents of the project were begin- ming to feel confident that they had won the fight. Attorney Niles, alone and unaided, sprung the clause to allow the residents of the parts proposed to be annexed to de- eide by ballot as to whether they cared to come into the city. This move was entirely unexpected ana the other side did not have time to recover from their surprise when they found that the scheme had been successful. Fair Haven's usual contingent of croakers had been predicting that the consolidation people would have everything their own way, and they had pre- dicted a wholesale defeat for their side. For the past few days they have not had the in- clination to say much about the matter. Rev A. H. Goodenough preached another of his course of sermons to young people last night at the East Pearl street church. His subject was "The Woman that is Wanted" A large audience listened to the discourse. N. W. Kendall, president of the Quinnipi- sc Brewing company is attending the annual meeting of the National Brewers association. After the convention, MT. Kendall will con- tinue on his journey and before he comes back he will visit Cleveland, Detroit, Chi cago and Milwaukee. He is accompanied on the trip by his wife. They will be gone about two weeks.
