BRIDGE TEND DER AT cos con. Death of an old KmplOye on the Com
 sOlidated Road.


 Death sf an ola kmploys on she Com
 solidased Road.
 In these days, when 90 many accidents oc- cur on the railroads through the carelsssnsss or untrustworthiness of minor officials or sm- ployes, 1t is worth while to give passing thought to those who have, for . series of years, proved sorupulously faithful to the trust imposed in them. Of Soloman Clark, tho old bridge tender at Cos Cob. and for some forty years In the employ of the Con- solidatsd road, the Stamford Advocate speaks e follows:
 "Among the scores of men who have held subordinate positions on the Consolidated road for . long term of years, 1t is safe to say that but few have been so long and so closely identified with special office as the faithful old bridge tender at Cos Cob, Sol omon Clark, who died at his home, close to the bridge, on Tuesday last. For over thirty years his was tho head and his the hand upon which the company relied for attending to their interests aud the safety of the Cos adenoe prove to bs displaced It was not . great or distinguished office, nevertheless fts incumbent made it . typical illustration of qualities which would honor any office in the company's muster roll, from the pres. idsnt down. The life work which fate as. signed to Solomon Clark he did faithfully and we'll.
 ''Hs was native of the village where he spent most of his life, and was in the service of tho railroad company some forty years the hrst ten in the fraight ofioe in New York and the succeeding thirty in charge of the bridge q above stated. When he left thu work some thrse or four years ago, owing tG the innrmities of advancing years, the mum bsr of trains passing in an hour almost squallsd the number . day at the beginning of his service, and as he was a studiouslJ curious In such matters, he Is believed to have accumulated much dats of interest Illustrating the growth and thu development of railroad traffic as noted iron his peculiar point of observation. He leave widow but no children, and leaves her, too In possession of . modest competence, his in dustrious and careful habits and tho limited scale of necessary family expenditures hay ing enabled him to accumulate property tt the extent of several thousand dollars. H was . valuable member of the Methods church at Cos Cob and . steady friend of al | judicious temperance efforts. His widow sister of the wife of William H. Ritoh o | Stamford"

MRS. ALEXANDER.
Twelve Years In State Prison.

Twelve Years In State Prison.
 Mrs. Lorena E. Alexander, who is serving a life sentence in the state prison for the murder of "Stuttering Jack," in Bridgeport in 1878, is quite an adept with the needle. Attorneys Thompson and Tallmadge of Bridgeport received box from her ysster- day which contained number of pieces of fancy needlework, including pen-wipers, blotters and small mats for inkstands. These were gifts to Attorneys Tallmadge and Thompson, who defended her, and also to ex-Attorney James R. Olmstead and the late Coroner F. l.. Holt, both of whom fig ured in the prosecution of the case. Mrs. Alexander evidently had not heard of the death of Coroner Holt, as two articles were marked for him. There was also a hand some pen-wiper in the box designed for Mrs. Curtis Thompson. The articles are made from coarse material but are neatly worked, showing that Mrs. Alexander Lad na tural talent for needlework. Mrs. Alexander has been in the state prison for nearly twelve years and she is now about fifty four years of age.

TO.DAY'S ALDERmANIC BATTLEs A Good Chance to Elect Republican
 i'm 10 TvUNlffh.

A food Chance to Elect . Republican
 in the Twelfth.
 To-day's aldermanic battle in the Twelfth and Third wards promises to be lively one. There is a good fighting chance for the election of a republican in the Twelfth ward. The democrats are somewhat factional and have three candidates in the field. The re- publican candidate is Charles E. Huntley, & young man who is very popular with the voters of the Twelfth. He has made wig orous canvass and has done his utmost to win the sharp contest with his three demo- cratic adversaries.
 Of the democrats who are ambitious to succeed sx-Aldsrman Kent, Patrick Falsey has waged vigorous battle and his friends are confident that he will be able to distance both of his democratic brethren at the polls.
 William Harlow is conducting his canvass principally against Thomas Molloy in spite | of the reports which have been circulated that he had withdrawn in favor of this gen. | tleman.
 Francis Healsy, another candidate, has announced his withdrawal from the fight in favor of Thomas Molloy, whom he considers the real democratic candidate.

A Correction.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: Please allow me to correct the report
 which was given in the COURIER of the 24th
 in reference to the temperance gathering at
 the Church of the Messiah on Sunday even ing last, and which the large audienoe seemed greatly to enjoy. This is my eorrec- tion: That Miss Ellen E. Niles, who is the efficient president of Lucy Hayes union of New Haven. is not the state president, and the review of fifteen years of the Connecti- cut w. o. T. U. which was read was written by the state president, Mrs. 8. B. Forbes of Rockville, Conn.
 Miss Niles, who conducted the exercises of l the evening so admirably, would be among l the last to arrogate to herself any title or credit which did not belong to her. Mention might have been made, had space
 allowed, of the pleasant recitations of the little children, and of tho fact that Ms.
 Morell, who gave an interesting account of | the crusade in North Haven years ago, and who was the first president of New Haven w. 0. T. U., is now again the president of New Haven union No. 1, which meets in English ball on Thursdays. Lucy Hayes l union No. meets in the vestry of the Church of the Messiah on Wednesdays. The choir of said church kindly lent their
 acceptable aid on Sunday evening. see your report gives them the name or "Con-
 necticut choir." which may have been an in- advertency-
 Hoping you will find place for this correc.
 tion, and thanking you for all the kindly
 mention made in your columns in reference to temperance and other reformatory and
 philanthropic efforts, I remain yours truly, F. A. H.
