BRIDGEPORT.

| BhlDGEPURT.
w. III. Ploss has been presented with
a daughter; mother and daughter are do
| ing finely.
City farmers have gathered their sec
ond crop of hay. 1t proved fine crop
with nice weather to gather it in.
S. B. Squirrels barn in the rear of his
residence on Norman street was badly
damaged by fire, probably the work of
tramps. Loss about $500, which was
fully covered by insurance.
Prindle & Cole, the new real estate and
rent collectors, have leased the office,
2G7 Main street. The new firm are both
young and active and a bright future is
predicted by their friends.
Mr. and Mrs ID. w. Thompson have
been at West Stockbridge for a Fall out
ing.
The fine large chimney for the plant of
the Electric Light Co. on Congress
street is completed.
c. Barnum Seeley's yacht Atlantic has
been in the harbor, its owner having
business in the city.
The several committees appointed for
the celebration on October 81 are hard
at work and are meeting with fine sue
cess. There is no doubt but that it will
be the largest turnout that has taken
place in the city for many years. An
immense boat, representing that ON which
Columbus landed, will be at Seaside park
when the parade reaches there. Every
business should be represented. 1t
would be large addition to the display
and prove good advertisement for the
merchants. Bridgeport should not be
outdone in anything it undertakes.
1t is an ill wind that blows no good.
The great cholera agitation has been a
good thing, for the city streets have been
thoroughly cleaned, yards and cellars
put in proper shape.
North Bridgeport has suffered losses
from three fires during the past week,
the most disastrous being that causing
the destruction of the barns containing
II tons of hay belonging to Mrs Gottlieb
Moll, who lives ON Lincoln avenue. The
fire department responded promptly, but
were unable to control the fire for some
time, owing to lack of water. Mrs Moll's
loss is estimated at $1,000 with no insur-
ance.
The legal fraternity are thrown into a
state of agitation because the clerk of
the court of Common Pleas, by order of
the court, has issued a new set of rules,
which, in the main, are those followed
in the Superior court, ssmutatis mutan-
dis" The Common Pleas will now have
short calander on Friday, at which all
short matters, such as motions, etc., will
be disposed of. Instead of the usual
monthly trial list, those desiring to try
cases are required to give notice before
10 m, Wednesday of the week preced-
ing the day desired for trial. Undoubt-
eddy, the short calander innovation will
be well received, as counsel will know
just what Is expected of them. The 9TH
er changes will require experience in
their use to determine their value.

and Mrs L. F. Marshall are spending two

Rev e. *. Holden and wife have gone
on visit to Mr. Holden's parents, Otis
field, Maine. As both have been at work
early and late during the last Summer in
connection with the building Of the new
Olivet church, as well as in the regular
pastoral duties, it is safe to say that they
have earned rest and vacation. The
pulpit will be supplied during their alb
sence.
