Strawberries for the lawn festival, last
week, were to have been furnished by
Arthur Iii Sherwood of Mill hill, who
had some prime berries. When it was
decided to postpone the festival, the Der
res were taken to Bridgeport and sold
readily, as there was a scarcity in the
city.
Scholars of Prof Brewers academy
were unable to give the promised enter
tainment at the Town hall, Friday. kal-
sominers had not finished work and the
hall was not ready to be used. The
school has been dismissed and the schol-
ars have returned to their homes. A sue
cessful school has been maintained and
the school will open the Fall term in Sep

The Town hall looks neat and attract
i've in its decorations of paint, ETC., ap-
piled by M. L. VanIIorn, under direction
of Frederick Sturges. 1t was used by
the Congregational people, Sunday, for
the first time since its renovation and was
made still brighter by beautiful flowers.

week, by Court Fairfield, A. o. f., at
which most of the officers were contin-
ued in office for another six months.

Eager, apparently, to finish the work
so long in beginning, the lawyers of the
railroad informed j. d. Toomey, last
week Thursday, less than week after
the appointment of the commissioners o.
Coughlin, Talmadge Baker, H.H. Knapp
that they would be ready to go ON with
the case on Monday, 22d. AS this was
decidedly short notice, Lawyer j. ID
Toomey, Jr, counsel for his father, re-
tanned Judge Glover as additional coun
sci and began preparing his case with
all speed. A postponement was not ad
visable, because of the nearness of the
first of July, when courts and lawyers
take vacation.
Having obtained the necessary infor
nation as to the fact of the bringing IL
of garbage by John L. Donovan, in viola
ton of the regulation of the board OF
health, Judge w. B. Glover, counsel fol
the town, made out papers for his arrest
last week and they were placed in the
hands of Sheriff Pike. He drove tc
Bridgeport and when near Spooner's
farm at the upper end of Clinton avenue,
saw Donovan driving leisurely towarc
, the farm. Donovan was stopped and ar
rested, but when he saw that Lawyer
John l.. Morehouse was named as the
Justice before whom the hearing was tt
be held, he became decidedly angry. lie
and Mr. Morehouse are not on at all gooC
terms and he has several times expressed
uncomplimentary opinions of the lega
gentleman. However, Donovan was Ia
ken back to Bridgeport and brought be-
fore Justice Morehouse at his office. A
preliminary hearing took place and the
trial was set down for Saturday at the
Town house in Fairfield, Butcher James
III. Dorus of $50 Main street, Bridgeport
becoming surety for him. Saturday
however, the hearing was postponed I'M
til Tuesday at p m, at the Town house
