Judge kimball has no use for rum nor does
he appear 10 have much use for persons who
drink ii. The fact was established today when
saloon Keeper John L. Burkhart was tried for
an alleged assault on . colored man named
John T. Carter.
The latter went into the saloon and ordered
giass OF beer. He was informed that the price
Tor beer was twenty cents, but that made no
difference to him, SO he said. but still he only
showed . nickel, which he held in his hand.
"9et your beer or get out" he was told, but
he didn't have 70 get out, for the proprietor
took him BY the seat Of his trousers and the
collar OF his coat and landed him outside the
door.
That was why Carter procured the warrant
for assault
Judge Kimball heard the testimony and
asked Garter If he did not think that the pro-
Priefor had done him q good service 70 put
him out Of such place.
Carter said yes, but his look indicated that
he would not refuse drink.
The judge thought that good service had
been done him and dismissed the case.

simply the increasing pressure of Mr.

attention he devotes to the political

BRIDGEPORT.

At a meeting of the society's commit
tee of Olivet church, last week Thursday
evening, it was voted to raise by sub
scription as much money as possible for
a new church, to be of brick or stone, the
latter preferred, to stand on the site now
occupied by Olivet church on the north
east corner of Main street and North ave-
nue. and to be completed at the earliest
possible date. Rev Z. X. Holden, who
has been pastor of the church since 1885,
is to have charge of the work of canvass
ing, with the society's committee, j. j.
Rose, f. L. Bassett, +. A. Wood, F. L.
Marshall, DR. F. L. Smith, as assistants.
Subscription papers were at once opened
and were headed by three subscriptions
of $1,000 each, Mrs F. w. Parrot, Steph-
en- Nichols. Rev Bronson B. Beardsley.
Others of smaller but none the less ac-
ceptable amounts have since been -receiv-
ed and the pastor and his aids feel great
ly encouraged. The plan of payment is
in four installments the first on June l,
and the others bi-monthly so that the full
amount of each subscription shall be paid
by December l, 1891. Plans have not
yet been considered and none will be at
once, for the materials of which the
church will be built and many important
details can only be determined after six
to eight weeks of canvassing. 1t is hop
ed that 500, 900 may be raised; if this can
be secured, a handsome stone church
will be put up, with a seating capacity of
about 500, or two and half times as
the building now used. Work will be
begun at the church, this Spring and the
present house of worship will be moved
to the rear of the lot, which has 'front.'

The new building will contain ample ac-

and basement, Sunday after Sunday.
Olvet church. with a list of $50 commun-
icants and an attendance so large that
chairs must be brought into the aisles at
service, is the outcome of little mission
started in the northern part of the city in
1868 by the North Congregational church.
The movement was taken up by the y.
M. C. A. and grew until,in 1870, church
was formed. In 1877, the present house

MISS LILLIAN j, POST.

After a two-weeks' illness with pneu-
monia, Miss Post, only daughter of s..
w. Post of Benefits bridge, died, Thurs
day, 18th, 80 years old. Rev Mr. Chap
man officiated at the funeral, Monday,
at the house at and the burial was be-
side her mother in the South Britain GEM
etery, Charles Bradley, George Smith,
George Russell, III. Allen, bearers. Miss
Post was a lady of unusual promise and
graduated from q business college in
New Haven about two years ago. She
has since filled positions of Importance
and trust with New Haven business
houses. When the terrible sickness
Frustrated her fathers family, she came
to the rescue, nursing her mother almost
to the day she died. Miss Posts friends
induced her to go to her room after hay
ing been at her mothers bedside, several
days and nights in succession, which she
did and threw herself down upon the
bed in her room, with window partly
open, where she slept the entire night, a
fierce storm raging without and woke
with daylight to find herself chilled and
stiffened from exposure and WEAKNESS.
Her condition has since been critical and
her death fastened by that of her moth
er, only few hours after Miss Lillian
took to her bed. Since her mothers
burial, hope seemed to have died out of
her life and it was her expressed wish
that she might never recover. The
doubly stricken father and her only
brother, George, whose wife is recover
ing from the disease which has prostrat-
ed the entire household, have the sym
pathy of wide circle of friends in the
hour of bitter sorrow.
