To Pass Around the Hat.

''Just as soon as can get about it, said Lawyer Wilson of Westport, sI will again pass around the hat in Westport and will complete the $75,000 which westport is tosraise for the Saugatuck Valley road. Then shall descend upon Redding and Newtown." The matter is moving along quietly at pre- scnt, but all things are In readiness and the actual work on the road could be begun in a very few hours after preliminaries were completed. Of course the packers will not hold for the last cent of the $100,0OG; n close approximation will be considered proof that the people desire the road. The branch from New Preston to Lake Waramaug is an assured fact; plenty of money has been subscribed and the task of transforming it from n proposed rail- road on paper to an actual road on land is to be actively prosecuted, that it may be completed, as far as possible, before Winter sets In. President Chapman is as enthusiastic as ever over the project and Superintendent McNeil is quoted al saying that engineers are making a new survey of the main line of the Shepaug in order that the curves may be straight ened and the roadbed otherwise improv ed.

TrinitY's Tower.

.%ttcr the repairs made on Trinity's tower, some time ago, by a New Haven ma son, it was hoped that the source of the annoying leakage had been discover cd and stopped and the trouble perma- nently removed. The late furious storm, however, proved conclusively that the leak still existed. A large quantity of and thence to the church, whose organ loft is especially damp. After hard rain, the water stands on the floor and the fine organ is becoming affected by the constant dampness.
 A careful examination of the situation leads to the belief that the water enters at the base of the four minarets at the top of the tower proper and percolates downward, through the walls of stone, until it escapes into the church. When strong southeaster is raging, the south and east walls of the tower are quite damp, while those on the opposite side are comparatively dry. Similar cOndit. ions are noticeable when the wind is ir any other quarter.
 These minarets, which are about three feet in diameter and nine or ten feet high are anchored to the stonework below by stout iron rods and are doubtless hollow like the other walls of the tower. Ithas been suggested that the damage could bt stopped by taking the minarets down tt the top of the tower, placing there q cop per plate and re-laying them, filling thu interior solid with small stones and grouting.
 The leak should be stopped in some way, for, if allowed to continue, the or gan will be considerably damaged, if not indeed ruined, by the excessive damp ness, while the discoloration of the church walls will Increase.

Some 8 years ago, it was made for his father by q Pennsylvanian who, remodeling an old, fashioned, long barreled flintlock, cut la inches from the end of the barrel and fit. ted Il stock and lock to it. Although SC short, it Is capable of carrying a ball a considerable distance with deadly effect It has more than once in family fcuds been aimed at human game, but murder has never been committed with it. II will be traced as far back from Mir Snow as possible, to ascertain through whose hands 1t has passed.

 Among the legal fraternity in this city, Lawyer W. II. O'Hara is known as the champion boxer. Lawyer O'Hara's s private office resembles a gymnasium, insomuch as he has always at hand dumb bells, several pairs of boxing gloves and other athletic paraphernalia. Nearly every lawyer in the city has been inveigled into putting on the gloves and trying d round with Attorney O'Hara but all of them have succumbed to his skill and several of the lawyers have been knocked out so suddenly that no amount of persuasion could induce them to put on he gloves again. Lawyer O'Hara strikes a powerful blow and exercises great judgment in defending himself, the result of thorough training. To the un- initiated, he appears like novice and, for this reason, many of the lawyers have entered into contest without fear. -[ Bridgeport Farmer.

A Scene in Shiloh.
ve,y.

There was quite an exciting scene in Shiloh, last Friday evening. The rain was falling in torrents and man was seen plodding his way from house to house with lantern, arousing the neigh bors with the announcement that their immediate presence was required at a cottage by the wayside occupied by a ''Vidder" and "Vidder"-er, with several small children. Soon several aroused from their slumbcrs, speedily attired in waterproof and rubber boots, lantern in hand, sallied forth to ascertain the cause of this unreasonable call and to their surprise (perhaps) found it to be a sort of melo-dramatic exhibition. On the lounge lay prostrate form tortured with spasmodic action, said to be caused by a solution of apple juice and mysterious white powder, administered by the "Vid' der"-er. A lad was quickly dispatched with n fleet steed to Sandy Hook to sum mon the doctor, who arrived in less thar an hour and, after examination of tho patient, pronounced it bad case of ar stuICal poiSohihS. IHell ioIbhNlIh uCI the thoroughly drenched lad, with tho ? 10 stced, through the pelting rain ant intense darkness after the worthy pries to administer needy preparations, ere tho boatman ferried the patient across tn, river to the eternal shore. About mid night, the spiritual official was at the bedside, performing the rites required by the church. On his departure, the men were excused from farther service, as the "Vidder"-er was quietly held in the arms of Morpheus, and the patient was left with the attentive watchers. In the ear ly morning, man with child was seen vending their way toward the flowing Housatonic and it was hoped there would be no return therefrom. Later events seem to indicate preparation for anoth- CT act in the drama. Will it be comedy or tragedyg That is the question. If so, at all events it is expected the civil au- thorities will be invited to be present. f X Subscriber.

This tower is part of the Sykes absolute block system with which the Consolidated road is provided, which was adopted by President Clark after thorough investi- gation of all known signal systems, in cluding those in Europe. It is an inter locking switch and signal system, in which one tower is governed by the tower on each side of it in such way that two trains cannot be on the same block, unless one is side tracked, at the same time. The system requires watch ful attention, a clear memory and mus cle as well. Mir Mitchell is in charge oi a 20-lever machine and has an oil mar and gate tender in the tower.
