New York Herald.
The ''cold wave" which has lust
brought sharp local frosts to the States
bordering on the lakes seems to be the
first installment of the "May cold
spell" so famous in meteorological an
mails. The period in America when
this peculiar decline of temperature is
usually most marked is the second
week IN May. The phenomenon, there
tore, apparently makes its appearance
this year at an exceptionally early date.
This IS what we might expect in the
current atnormally warm Spring. The
prime, though not always the prOxi-
mate cause of our May frosts
i the trausserence of air from
Arctic to tro pical regions, result
ing from the increase of the suns
expansive force IN hIgh latltudes. As
MS rays now become powerful III the
northern and weak IN the southern
hemisphere, much of the atmosphere
IN the former Is displaced and driven
across the equator into the latter hem
lsphere. 1t Is while this transfer of air
from cold to warm attitudes is most
actively progressing that The middle
zones get their relatively frostiest YER
nal weather.
The proximate cause of the present
cold, however, is the indraught OF Il de-
preston which has been lingering
around New England and Nova Scotia
Tor week, but Is now passing away.
We may expect slight general rise of
over the United States to-
day, as the Herald predicted yesterday
morning, with a pleasant Sunday III

The funeral of Mrs Isaac l.. Ferris of 549 Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport, was att tended from the Fairfield Avenue Meth odist church, Tuesday afternoon. Mrs Ferris had been faithful member of that church for nearly 40 years and the great number of sorrowing ones who at tended her funeral and the beautiful for al tributes which covered the casket and chancel showed how much she was re- spected and beloved by all. Rev Messrs Streeter her pastor, +. G. s. McNeille, George A. Hubbell of Southport and Carroll of Milford took part in the exer- cises. The music by the quartet choir of the church was mournfully sweet and subdued. The remains were inferred in Mountain Grove cemetery by the side of her husband, who left her the first day of last April. Mrs Ferris had many friends in Newtown and her last visit here of one week was made only two weeks since with the family of H. l.. Wheeler. Mir and Mrs Wheeler, Mrs Bennett, Mrs Tucker and Mrs Ackley att tended the funeral.

The first inning opened with two runs for the visitors, while the Glens, in their half, were only able to score q single run. The second and third innings were goose eggs for both, but in the fourth the home team got the lead by good batting and In the sixth they batted the Watertown pitcher so hard that he got cramp in his leg and retired. Suspenders took his place and our boys made him wish he was back in Watertown. At the end of the game, the visitors had only six runs to their credit. score by innings;

A New Water Tank.

A circular iron tank, much resembling those already in use in Sandy Hook, has arrived at the depot and will be set upat the triangular plot at the corner of De pot road and West Queen street, this week if possible. Excavations for the foundations of the tank and for laying the pipe are well under way and the tank may be ready for use by Saturday night The old watering box will probably be removed. It stood some 250 feet from the spring, from which water was con ducted in a 3-S inch pipe. This will sim ply be extended 200 or 300 feet further to the new tank, E. J. Hall doing the work. The new location will be as con venient as the other for those driving from the Street to the depot and will prove handy for those who travel West Queen street in either direction. The cost of the tank and of the removal was borne mostly by subscription.
