LONG HILL.

August /, Emancipation day, is re-
inarkable in the minds of eolored people
of Bridgeport and vicinity because it is
the invariable occasion of the negro pic
mic at l'arlor Rock, followed by ball at
Bridgeport. To many this is the grand
outing of the year and they live six
months in anticipation and six months in
realization of the event. All who attend
ed, this year, will have cause to remem-
Der the day, for, during the picnic, a free
fight occurred and the razor, that insep-
arabic companion of the colored man,
was brought into use with deadly intent.
There are many stories as to the origin
of the fight and even the chief assailant
is not positively known. David Brown
and Bob Booker, who fought about a col
ored woman; John Riley and wife, who
were quarreling; John Talbout and Ray
mond Peck, who quarrelled about drinks,
had been engaging in 4 war Of words and
blows had been struck. Talbout seemed
anxious for a fight and was in the thick
of the crowd, when he suddenly cried,
Murder and was seen to be bleeding
| from razor wounds, one of which extend
ed across the shoulders and down the
right arm. The assailant, at first sup
posed TO be Raymond Peck but after
ward thought to be Thad Brown of New
Haven, escaped in the excitement and
could not be found. Talbout, who was
rapidly becoming weak from loss of
blood, was taken to the office of DR. Seth
Hill, where the principal wound was has
tily closed with IL stitches. Talbout
was then able to be brought to the city,
where, at the emergency hospital, his
wounds were dressed. After again
cleansing the long, deep cut which, had
it been three inches higher, would have
severed the corotid artery and caused al
most instant death, was closed with Al
stitches. Talbout, who, with nearly all
others present at the affair, has very lit
tie to say, is doing as we'll as could be ex-
lpected.

EASTON.

Surveys were made, last Spring, on
the Canoe brook, which empties into the
reservoir at the Narrows, for dam and
reservoir about a quarter of a mile above
the dam of the present reservoir. Near
ly rs acres are to be flooded and report
says the work of construction will begin
in the Fall. The present storage facili-
ties seem inadequate and naturally other
dams must be built higher up on Mill
river to save the surplus which runs over
the dam in a food during great portion
of wet year. Bridgeport's growing
population consumes many gallons per
head daily and Mill river seems the most
feasible stream to tap in order to meet
the drain which must increase largely in
the near future.
