TRUMBULL.

A new bridge is to be built over the
Poquonnock river. The old bridge is so
badly decayed that its removal becomes
necessary. Daniel Ell. Ward is getting
out timber for the new bridge, which will
be little wider than before.
For some years the grade over the rail-
road on the new road to Bridgeport has
been so heavy that loaded teams have
had difficulty in crossing. Last week, a
large force of men and teams were put
on, the hill near the parsonage was cut
down and was drawn back toward the
track. This has made the grade quite
easy and the improvement will be great
1y appreciated by all who pass that way.
The Sunday school institute held in the

ed. There is no reason why these organ
izations should not be permanent and be-
come blessing to every home. They
are located in places naturally removed
from many church privileges. The pop
ulation is sufficiently large to warrant
their organization. No small number
of young people and children, as well as
older persons, are there who need to be
trained in Christian service. Organized
effort, therefore, seems timely for those
who are willing to sacrifice and do for
the good of all.
In connection with these meetings, Rev
W. F. White will soon begin a series of
half hour lectures at the close Meetings

Chestnut Hill and are held ON Thursday
evenings, beginning at o'clock. A cor

THE FAMOUS coMPo CASE.


The case of Harriet A. Birdsall against
Elonzo S. Wheeler, which has been in
the courts for IL years, was settled, FRI
day, In the Superior court, Bridgeport.
The case was last tried before Judge
Thayer in Bridgeport, in May of this
year and resulted In disagreement of
the jury. The agreement was that the
court should enter judgment for the
plaintiff to recover $500 with costs.
The case has been before the Supreme
court. It was tried three times before a
jury and directly before Superior court
Judge. The expenses have been some
thing enormous and the case has impov-
erished several Of the parties engaged in
It.
The most eminent attorneys Of the past
and the present generation have at var
ious times been engaged upon both sides.
For the defendant, there have been ex-
United States Attorney Calvin G. Child,
George Watrous, Amos s. Treat, Judge
II. X. DeForest, Goodwin Stoddard and
State Attorney Fessenden. The plain
tiff was represented by William *. Sec
ley, Henry s. Sanford, William G. Case
of Hartford, Hon James III. Olmstead,
Stiles Judson, Jr. and Hon Edward W..
Seymour, who is now upon the Supreme
court bench. The judges before whom
1t has been tried In the Superior court are
Henry Stoddard, Torrance, Phelps, Thay-
err and J. M. Hall. Torrance and Phelps
are now members Of the Supreme court
and Stoddard several years ago resigned
70 rcseme practice at the bar.
This Is the celebrated "Compo" case,
which was suit twice brought by Mrs
Birdsall against her mother, Mrs Alden,
to recover $4,000 worth Of personal
property. Elonzo s. Wheeler and the
late Capt Jonathan Godfrey receipted for
the property in joint and several bond
Of &2O, 900 and the property remained in
Mrs Alden's possession. Mrs Alden
anaily recognized Mrs Birdsall's claim
The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1891-11-20

to the property and handed it over to
her, but Mrs Birdcali claimed that only
part of the property was given her and
hence the suit. Wheeler now threatens
to sue the heirs of Capt Godfrey for one
half the Judgment, $265o and half the
costs. The case has been watched with
interest by people in the vicinity.

A shameful trick was played upon bar
Der A. Giffen, either Saturday night or
early Sunday morning. Last week Mon
day night, some nasty fellow left his
card on the BARRIERS doorstep. Not sat
isfied with this dirty trick, some miscre-
ants daubed the barber poles and door of
the shop with human dung. Saturday
night, Mr. Giffen left his shop at 10 80 p
m and Night Waterman Clark passed
there at 8 80 m, Sunday morning, and
saw no signs of mischief. However, Mr.
Giffen found the dastardly job done when
he reached the shop, Sunday morning,
and left it for a spectacle all day. He
noticed that the fellows who usually
gather at the blacksmith shop, Sunday
night, were not on hand. Mr. Giffen au-
thorizes the BEE to state that he will give
reward of $25 for the arrest and con-
viction of the scamps. Mr. Giffen, who
was formerly at the St. Marc, has been
in his present quarters for three months
and did not know before that he had an
enemy in the town. He has universal
sympathy in his misfortune. 1t is clear
that the cells were not voted day too
soon.

For some time, it has been question
among some of the city churches how
to increase the attendance at the Sum
day evening services. At many of the
churches, the audiences are painfully
small. AS remedy for this, the South
Congregational church voted, Wednes-
day night, to adopt new order of SER
vice to be changed, each Sunday evening
in the month. Commencing the second
Sunday in December, it is planned to
have lecture on the Holy Land, Illus
tratedEby stereopticon views, given by
the pastor, Rev r. G. S. McNeille and,
succeeding Sunday evenings, praise SER
vices and Bible readings. Some of the
good people think a stereopticon lecture
on Sunday evening is playing with the
devils tools, but it is the aim of Mr. Nc
Nellie to get the people out and then give
them Gospel truths. No doubt he will
succeed, at least in obtaining good au-
diences.

The convention that was held at Cedar
Rapids was n OF the most important in
the history OF the great State Of Iowa.
The nominees are men well and favor
ably known In the State. The can.
didates for Governor aud Lieutenant
Governor are botn farmers, and the rest
Of the ticket Is composed Of able and
strong men.
The main interest Of the convention to
Eastern people lies in the platform it
adopted. A large part Of this platform
deals with local issues. As every one
knows, Iowa is a prohibition State. and
tho Republican party has always upheld
the p~rohibitory Jaw there. The Demo
Gratis have tried in every way possible to
break down the law. but their efforts
thus far have been ~unavailing. In q
commonwealth SO largely rural IS Iowa
. prohibitory law 10 possible of en-
f0rcemAnt, and an overwhelming ma
jority OF the people OF the State are for
the law.
Aside from local Issues, however, the
platform contains q number Of planks
devoted to national affairs. It indorses
heartily the administration Of President
Harrison. II eommands the American
tariff. 1t indorses the Republican policy
Of pensions. IL approves the t.oinaee act
passed by thu Eft first Congress, sby
which the great product of the silver
mines OF the United States IL added TO
the currency Of the people. It asserts
