 Justus B. Hawlcy has made applica. tion for license to sell liquor at the building owned by William H. Nichols on Stratfold avenue, opposite the Catho lie cemetery and is endorsed by Frank Lally, Peter Mohan, Alexander McDon. aid, John Lally, James McElroy. Flaw. ley is Black Rock man, friend of Mich. ols of Black Rock, by whom the building is owned. It is one of three new houses recently built, just on the Stratford side of Bruce brook. It is not probable that any remonstrance will be gotten out against a saloon in that part of the town,
 
 dom for Hawley to have waited until af- ter election, as there is lively prospect of no license vote. It is said that this also is backed by McMahon X Wren of Bridgeport.

The teams were filled with young fellows and appear ances indicated that the sale of beer in Milford had by no means been stopped.
