FIRE ALARMS.
The Unusual Prevalence of Fires in All Sections-Forty-Ave Alarms So Ear This Year Here.

The Unusual Prevalence of Fires in
 All Sections-Forty.five Alarms So
 Far This Year Here.
 The New Haven fire department have been kept unusually busy this month. The number of bell alarms responded to has been fifteen, which beats the record. The largest number of bell alarms in any one month heretofore has been thirteen, which was in November, 1888.
 The total number of bell alarms for last year was sixty-nine. So far this year the department have responded to forty five, and with over seven months to spare. The total number for the year will probably far excel anything in the history of the department-thatis is, if this thing keeps up with unabated vigor.
 The fires in most cases have been small, and not in single instance has it been necessary to sound 8 second alarm. The total number of bell and still alarms are over one hundred, which goes to show that the department has been kept on the jump. In many cases the prompt manner in averted a number of what might have been serious confagrations. An epidemic of fires seems to be sweeping through the country, and, according to the report of the insurance companies, the fires this year | have been thirty three per cent. in excess | of anything previously known in the in, surance business.
 To the credit of the fire depar rtment o1 | this city it should be said that no city oi it's size in the country can boast of such small fire losses.

A FINE DIsCoURsE-THE MEMORIES OF BRAVE MEN AND DEEDs-THE MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES NEXT

| A FINE DISCOURSE-THE MEMORIES OF BRAVE MEN AND DEEDs-THE MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES NEXT SUNDAY-FARMERs GETTING DISCOURAGED. May 27-Rev James l.. Willard of Westville preached a memorial sermon in the Congrega- tional church last Sunday. It very fine discourse and was listened to attentively by the congregation. One person made the remark that | it was the best sermon he ever heard, and the l child could understand him. He depicted the l trouble the war made, the misery it brought up- on families and the sacrifices made to save the | country, and he hoped that all would always re- | member the day on the 3Oth of May to decorate | the graves of the brave men who fought for the | flag.
 | On Sunday, the 31st, there will be memorial | services in the Congregational church. Services 1 will commence at half past Il o'clock. The pro- | cession will go from the church to the East l Side cemetery, where the graves of the patriot l dead will be decorated, and it is required that l all owners of lots will mow them as it is very | disagreeable to walk through the tall wet | grass. All that have dear ones there will also l think of them and strew flowers on their graves. The farmers are wearing long faces. There is l weather is so dry. The grass crop is very poor | for this time of the year. Many meadows are not
 worth cutting and it is hard to get up seeds that l are planted. The caterpillars and canker worms l are stripping the trees of their foliage. Many l trees look as though the fire had been through l them. Some have taken pains to keep the worms
 of from the trees and now there is not much sat l isfaction to see the worms crawling from the l trees that have been neglected by others. The l frosts have done much damage and there is a
 l pretty poor show for the farmer.

THE STATE SURVEY.
pr, Chapin to Verify the Government Work on tho Map.
 TNew London TeleQraph1


 Dr. J. H. Chapin of Meriden, who with Professor W. H. Brewer of Yale college and John w. Bacon of Danbury, consti- ute the commission on the Typographical survey of Connecticut, is in this city on business connected with the survey. Gov ernment engineers made a survey of this vicinity year or more ago and Dr. Chapin has received from Washington proof or photograph of the manuscript sheet. He will compare this sheet with the ground surveyed and mako corrections should any be found. When Dr. Chapin has completed his examination the proof will be returned and the engraving of the map will follow. It seems to have fallen to Dr. Chapin to do all the field work of the commission, as Professor Brewer is a very busy man and MT. Bacon is out of the state most of the time. Dr. Chapin was in the legislature and engi neered the bill through that created the commission and the governor appointed him on the commission. He is eminently qualified for tho work and performs it as faithfully as if he were getting paid fol it. As a matter of fact it is @ labor o1 love. The bill calling for the appoint ment of the commission specified that tht commissioners were to serve without pay

The Opening Higher-Wabash Pre- ferred the Prominent Feature In tho Upward Movement-The mar- ket Kept Within Narrow Limits During the Day.

During the Day.
 NEW YORK. May T. Railroad bonds were even duller than usual or late, the total sales reaching only s546ooo, while almost an entire stagnation existed in prices- There was no movement of note during the en- tire day and the final changes are in all cases for small fractions.
 Stocks opened from half to three-quarters higher, and the continued movements of shorts soon forced e fractional advance over the entire list In this movement, however. Wabash pre- ferred was the only prominent feature, and whiie St. Paul and a few others were quite active TOT the time being, there was little or no feature 10 the trading, with the exception noted The up ward movement, however, came to an end when the demand from the shorts was satisfied, ana In the afternoon the course of prices was again downward. Many stocks were then brought be- low the level of the opening figures Rock Island and St. Paul being among the number while Louisville and Nashville was most conspicuous for its decline. The market however, was Kept within narrow limits during the entire day, ana no material movement was scored outside or the advance in Wabash preferred A slightly better tone was developed toward the close and the market closed dull and steady to firm at insig niflcant changes from the opening prices

A St. Bernard Saves the Life of Pug
 Norwich Bulletin1

A St. Bernard Saves the Life of a Pug. Norwich Bulletin.]
 There are two dogs prowling about Bos- wellville that make business of assault ing and murdering pugs. They seem to cherish dislike for these smutty-nosed
 little pets as intense as common dogs have for pet cats. They are known to have in ficted upon two pug dogs injuries from
 which they died. One day within a week these two ferocious dogs fell upon pug
 owned by MT. Fred Manning of Norwich, near the type shop on Franklin street, and would have inflicted fatal injuries upon
 him but for the prompt assistance of MT. George Griswold's great St. Bernard, who was 8 witness to the attack. This animal did not wait to be called, but immediately rushed upon the pug dogs assailant, and
 seizing the brindle mongrel cur by the neck, laid him upon his back. His mur- derous companion, bull terrier, ran up the street, and the pug took position
 directly beneath his great defender. The
 tableau was one of 'Justice." Major, the St. Bernard, glared at the crimnal cur he
 held prostrate, like judge staring at a
 most despicable offender, and with a savage exhibit of teeth, and reprimand growled
 out in the most ferocious St. Bernard
 style, he bade the cur begone! The
 discharged dog ran away for dear life,
 when Major turned his attention to the lit tie dog whose life he had saved. With a
 show of sympathy, not over common even with the genius homo, this great dog reached down and laped the frightened animal as gently as woman would kiss a child, and perhaps whispered to it the ad-
 monition never again to stray so far from
 home, for the pug, with look of wonder mingled with an expression of gratitude, turned and ran home, and from that day he has kept closer to the vine and fig tree of his owners
