Lynde Harrison is authority for the
statement that the Old Colony distillery
will probably start up about October 1.
He said that the claims of all the creditors
except few, representing $4,000 claims,
are in process of settlement These small
claimants would not hinder the starting
of the distillery, however, for bond could
be given until the claims were satisfied.
Mortgages and bonds are to be issued in
accordance with the plans of settlement of
ten days ago, and these are now being
printed. Mr.. Harrison represents the
United Growers association as we'll as
several of the larger creditors. Mr.. Wool
trip. He is now stopping in New York.
All of the stock that remained when the
works were closed has been manufactured
into spirits. The distillery works are a
lonesome looking place just at present.
But the keepers are in no hurry for the
distillery to start up.
The opening of the schools yesterday
brought home many children after the long
vacation. There was about the usual Sep
TENDER attendance. The new Quinnipiac
school was not opened, as some finishing
preparations of the new building are to be
completed.
At the drug store of J. F. Hillhouse is
an apple tree branch six feet in length,
| bearing eighteen large apples. The branch
| is from tree on the premises of Mr.. Eng
| lish.
The schooner H. H. Hanscom is at Bos-
| ton, where she freighted a load of coal.
| Her captain says the vessel is much more
| handily worked since steam hosting gear
| was put on board and the crews are more
| contented
LuZerne F. Barnes says that SO far as he
| has learned, only fourteen bass have been
| caught in the Quinnipiac river this season.
| He has not caught one. He is unable to
| account for the scarcity of this fish which
hook and line fishermen like to catch sc
we'll. Last year the bass were quite plen-
| tiful.
Officer Doody was opportunely at hand

rest of four sailors who were in a genera

| Conrad Helm, the Grand avenue pro
vision dealer, bitches up his gray horse
"Billy" everyday and delivers goods with
him. This is the running horse of whom
such fine work was expected. Mr.. Heir
| does not run his horse on the track any
more, although he believes with proper
training "Billy" would make a still better
record. Meanwhile the Jockey "Wooster'
who was thrown over the trotting parl
fence on the Fourth of July by ''Billy" il
still nursing his sprained arm.
If Captain George NJ. Graves could sal
his yacht "Venus" in the coming regatts
of the New Haven Yacht club, it would
heighten the interest in the affair, as sh,
is flyer, but he is so busy at his shipyart
this season that it is doubtful if he hal
time to put the boat in commission.
The two old school houses on the sit,
of the present new Quinnipiac schoo
house, and which were moved to the 10
of Janitor Burwell, are to be fitted into
tenements

avenue Baptist church will be resumed af

The filling of earth into the catch basins
by the recent heavy rains will make plent
of work for the sewer cleaners befor
many days.
