TWO SUDDEN DEATHS.

Two sudden deaths have occurred in this place within the last week. Lyman Nichols of Walnut Tree Hill district, died last Sunday morning of heart trouble. Mir Nichols retired, Saturday night, in his usual health (though he has been poorly for some time) but was able to be about and shoveled some snow paths, Saturday afternoon. He was aged 72 years and was an excellent Christian man, !, much respected by all who knew him. The funeral services were held at his late residence, Tuesday at ? p. m., and the re- mains were taken to Naugatuck on We'd nesday for burial.
 Tie other death was Sidney Laborie in the Center. Mr Laborie has been in poor health for some time. He died early last Monday morning, the cause of his death being fatty substance about the heart. He was 63 years old. He has resided in the Center for number of years and was blacksmith by trade and had shop here, but on account of poor health has not worked al his trade for the last three years. The funeral was held at his late residence. Thursday, at II o'clock, and l the remains were taken to Stepney for | interment. He leaves a wife, two sons and one daughter to mourn his loss.

AS TO THE STREET RAILWAY.

The principal topic of conversation just now is the street railroad. "Are you in favor of it, or not?" The nots seem to be a respectable but decided mi nority. The petition antagonistic to the road has received but very few sigma lures and are mostly of those who will have no use for the cars. It is interest ing to note that of the ohjectors, one spends two months of each year in the town and several others are here for on- ly three months in the summer. The principal argument against the cars is that the quiet of the town will be dis turbed and rough element be brought in each pleasant Sunday. This is cer- tainly decided objection which all can feel, but it is so overcome by the strong CT reasons of the great advantages to be derived from them, that the people of the town demand them, by large majority. Another objection is the soaring of hors- es. Experience in towns where they have been run, show that horses soon get used to them and there is no trouble
 in this respect. Thus far the Bridgeport company is the leading horse. As they now have permission to lay their tracks as far as the Black Rock bridge. and will probably do so as soon as the season per mits. we do not see how another com pany can get in very well.

A NEW BANKING FIRM.

A new bank has been started on Main street in Bridgeport. But it is not new firm, for Messrs Burr t& Knapp have been known more or less, for the past 16 years, both in and out of Bridgeport. About l7 years ago Mir Burr, who was a lawyer, and Mr Knapp, who held the position of teller in the Pequonnock bank, started in during their leisure hours to establish an investment business. They were remark ably successful and for several years had their offices at Is Franklin block. The business grew so that latterly they have both devoted their whole time to this particular business. Mir Burr is the sen- for member of the firm and MT Knapp the junior partner. Both are gentlemen of high standing, both in the city and where they are known. The Georgia Loan & Trust Go. and the Missouri Trust Co. are companies of their creation and it is with pride that they point to the fact that customers of these companies have never lost money or had to wait for their interest. Their business outgrew their old quarters and wishing to add bank ing business in connection with what was already established, they have handsome ly fitted up counting room in the store formerly occupied by Tomlinson & Cox eter, the jewellers, at 363 Main street. At the front of the room is a private office, followed by the banking room. In the rear are the private offices of Messrs Burr & Knapp, and also room for their customers, where can be found the finan- cial papers. The wood work is ash, handsomely grained and the side walls and ceilings are blended harmoniously, making very handsome and comfortable quarters for doing business. They are now prepared to do a general banking and brokerage business and will no doubt continue to merit the confidence of their many friends and patrons.
