 Events and Happenings.
 BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 1O.-Late yesterday Afternoon Colonel Russell Frost of South Norwslk came to this city armed with an injunction prohibiting the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad from appro- priating land owned by him in that place. The injunction was signed by Judge Kane of the city court, and hearing was assign cd for Saturday morning.
 Colonel Frost is the owner of certain lands in South Norwalk which the railroad company desired to take to improve their tracks. The road began work on the prop erty without any previous arrangements with Mir. Frost and without bringing con- demnation proceedings of any nature. The | owner of course objected and obtained the l injunction.
 PORT.
 The Standard 1sst evening reports as follows: .'The advance guard of the army of the unemployed has reached Bridgeport. Application for food and clothing are made by the dozen at hundreds of houses every day. The most noteworthy point about this Is that when the applicants are questioned they almost invariably say that they come from New York or farther west. Five such appeared at door on com paratively out of the way street this morn ing. All said they had walked from 100 to 300 miles in search of work and must now have clothing.
 It is credit to the conditions in Bridge port that these applicants are from outside. There are cases in the city where little assistance would be very welcome, but, with one helping another, there has been no need of house to house solicitation. For the most part those out of work here are 8 sturdy lot, fairly we'll prepared against period of idleness and looking forward confidently to return to their former em- ployment or to finding other work to tide them over. There are few drones in this busy hive"
