 It will be recalled that Detective Ed ward Cronin and Officer George Arnold of Bridgeport ask for the $500 reward offered by the committee of safety for the arrest and conviction of the burglars who ransacked Capt William Bradley's house, which Luddington has confessed that he and Joseph Brown were ghilty of. This confession was sworn to, June i, 1891, before John Chamberlain, con- missioner of the Superior court for Fair field county. It is hardly probable that any reward will be paid until after Browns confession or sentence. Cronin and Arnold claim it and appear to have considerably the best grip on it; but Sheriffs Doran of Bethel and White of Ridgefield claim it also, because they had to do with the arrest of Brown on in formation furnished by others. Members of the committee have expressed will lingness to pay the reward, if Browns conviction or confession follows.
 Dora Conroy, Luddington's paramour, is at large and is in Bridgeport with her children.

Efforts at settling the church pew i'm broglio had so far progressed, last week, that a committee from the church, J. H. Jennings and E. c. Birge, was appointed to wait upon both gentlemen and effect, if possible, satisfactory terms of settle ment. The basis of the proposition made by the committee was that both Messrs Alvord and Elwood withdraw entirely from the pew in dispute and each take seats in different parts of the church; the contested pew would be rented or sold to no one and would remain empty until the time for another sale of seats. MT Alyord, after a little reflection, signifed his willingness to accept this proposition, provided MT Elwood would do so ike wise. This was Friday of last week. MT Elwood asked till Saturday noon to give an answer, but was hardly satisfied with the terms.

BRIDGEPORT.

When one thing changes, another is always sure to follow. In years past, when the Rosedale was the peoples fa- vorite, because they knew that she was run for their benefit, it was unnecessary for the old stockholders to hire band and parade through the principal streets, accompanied by a man carrying ban ner, inscribed "Rosedale comes up to- night" because she had so many friends that there was always sure to be an im- mense crowd to welcome her on her re- turn, every time that she went in for her annual repairs and new suit of paint. Last Wednesday, when the new com pany's Rosedale arrived at the dock, she looked well, after having been thorough ly Overhauled and was greeted by many people, but not with the old time enthu- siasm. Bridgeport merchants made mistake when they did not take the stock of the Rosedale and hold it, making it the peoples only line and universal fa- vorite.

Many people stood spellbound, watching the runaway, when suddenly MT Willett turned the horse into high fence, stop- ping it and doing no damage, except the broken girth. It was remarkable es- cape.
