There is quite little building in prog
ress just now. On Blatehley avenue, near
Wolcott street, Lowe Brothers have nearly
two-story house for James 7.
Mcmahon. 1t is well built house, finished
in hard woods, and will cost, inclusive of
lot, about $4,000. Lowe Brothers have
also nearly completed a three-family house
on Clay street, near Lloyd street. 1t is
nearly completed house on Houston
street for Mr.. Musch, bookkeeper for
the Quinnipiac Brewing company. James
E. Conner is to paint all of these houses.
Lowe Brothers have begun the construc-
ton of six family house on James street,
between Grand avenue and Clay street.
The house will be owned by a Mr.. Ebe-
hardt. John Lowe is completing house
on Lloyd street, near Grand avenue. A
three-family house is to be built on James
street near Grand avenue, by Thomas
Ahern, the builder, for Mr.. Coffee. The
ground is now being broken for the cellar.
Just south, on James street, J. A. Fogarty,
the builder, has put up two two-story
houses, one of which is occupied. This is
on the big lot near the wire mill. This
land began to be utilized when the Horton
brick block was built at Grand avenue and
James street, and it is expected that the
lot will now be built up rapidly.
The car that leaves the Fair Haven ter
minus of the horse railroad at a. NJ, is
known as ''the school car" because high
school pupils are the principal patrons
One day this week, on a stormy morning,
this car started out with twenty-five high
school girls as passengers. On stormy
mornings, adding the regular passengers,
this car goes to town with a big passenger
list. One day there were thirty-fvs high
school passengers. A few mornings ago of
fourteen school girls on board, nine paid
their fares in pennies. The conductors dis
like to take 80 many pennies, as it is 80
difficult to carry them round in their peck
cts, and tedious work in making up their
cash envelopes. Sometimes conductor will
carry around between 200 and 800 pennies.
Not long ago four mischievious girls paid a
conductor in pennies. The conductor had
previously heard the whispered consulta-
ton, but said nothing. When the fifth
girl of the group rendered a quarter in
payment of her fare, the conductor handed
her the twenty pennies her associates had
given him. But the income from the two
daily trips of the "school car" during the
| year is considerable sum, and the con-
| ductors seldom complain even if the fares
are frequently paid in pennies.
There will be another baptismal service
at the Grand avenue Baptist church Sun
| day evening, when ten persons, it is ex
| pected, will be baptized
| The Ladies' Aid society of the Eas
Pearl street M. E. church will give

Some of the cutters on important bust
ness streets are overlooking with surfac
water and a number of crossings wer
flooded yesterday. The ice should be re
moved to eliminate the difficulty.
Now that Lent is here oyster dealer
hope for some revival in the trade that ha
been quite dull for the past month.
