SOUTHPORT.

Work on the maeadamiZed road may
now be said to be fully under way. Red
fields machinery is hard at work crush
ing stone and a number of Southport and
Fairfield teams are carting it from the
quarry to the road. The first load was
taken out, Monday morning and was
dumped on the further end of the road,
near Meeker's wharf. The steam roller
has been at work also and a number of
signs, painted by the artistic hand of G..
w. Wells, warn travellers that @This
street is closed" A new catch basin has
been put in at the corner near George E..
Elwood's.
Fred G.. Fisk of New Haven, who has
been making negotiations for land which
the Consolidated road is buying in South
port and Fairfield, has been off on blue
fishing tour. He expects to return and
complete the negotiations in a few days.
Work at the Eddy and Greenfield cross
ings is going on, but it is under the SUI
pervision of Redfield, who is building the
new bridges.

Mr. and Mrs E. b. Finch expect soon

A car of states, said to weigh seven
tons, arrived at Trumbull, last week, for
William Whites new house. They are
being put on by professional skaters from
Bridgeport. The doors and windows
were also expected, this week and it was
hoped that the whole house would be en-.
closed by the end of the week. The
building, which is partly covered with
crazy shingling, has been painted red
Mr. White has decided not to occupy the
house himself and will rent it as soon
as finished. 1t is somewhat more elabo-
rate than at first expected and will cost
about $4,000.
The train which is to convey the Sun
day schools of Trumbull and Black Rock
to Parlor Rock, Wednesday, 9th, will
leave Bridgeport, stopping at Trumbull,
at 8 40.
The Union agricultural society, of which
Trumbull is part, is looking in the direction
which some of its members have advocated
for years. That is to locate ON CT near the
Housatonic railroad. If steps could be takeI
to have the fair held at Parlor Rock, the cele
brated picnic grounds, it would be a goot
thing. Ample buildings are already provid
ed and the railroad gives every facility fol
transportation from Bridgeport and othel
large towns. There are quite a number of it
members who wish that this could be done.

FAIRFIELD.

Judge Glover returned from his vaca-

With the exception Of Middle and
Banks North and, possibly, one or two
more districts, all schools in town have
re-engaged their former teachers. Mon
day, September I, is Labor day and
schools throughout the town will there
fore open on Tuesday, September 2.
Town officials say that the Black Rock
bridge is not really dangerous and that
the few holes can be easily repaired at
slight cost. The time is not far distant
however, when new iron bridge will be
required. Such q bridge would cost,
probably, not far from $40, 900, of which
Bridgeport would be called upon to pay
half.

used in large city cemeteries. 1t is quar-

this section.

lett, is really married, for he has for
warded from Boston papers which prove
that the marriage was performed at Bos-
ton, August 9, by F. w. Hagar, Jr, as
sistant pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle.
Bridgforth talks of coming back with
his sdear wife, but it is extremely
doubtful if he will do so. Many think
that he should be arrested for bigamy,
but. unless there is documentary evidence
of a previous marriage, he cannot be dis
turbed The fact that he introduced and
supported negress as his wife, while In
Long Hill and that he acknowledged her
family as his children, does not, of itself,
would be sufficient.

from subseribers' doorsteps becomes annoying
once more. 1t VIII be remembered that the
late Judge Smell repressed this evil to great
extent by making the thieves understand that
there was penalty for the offense. 1t Is hoped
that Major Moore will instruct his force to
keep lookout for the marauders, in order that
those who pay for TIE STAR may be saved the
annoyance and the faithful carriers shielded
from the undeserved blame which are the re-
suits OF these petty thefts- In the meantime
