THE NEW CHAPEL OF THE FIRST CHURCH.
 The new chapel of the First Congrega- tional church has been completed and dedicated to it's sacred and social uses. The question of new chapel had been discussed for many years, but lack of funds prevented its erection. This hin- drance was removed last spring when Mrs Charlotte L. Lewis came forward and gave the society $2000 to be devoted to the erection of a chapel building alone. the society to furnish the building lot. The society accepted the donation with it's condition with thanks, appointed a building committee, of which Rev J. A. Freeman, the pastor of the church, was chairman, and the work went on till it's completion and dedication. When all the bills were brought in they amounted to $2490. The deficit of $490 was at once paid by Mrs Lewis, quite to the surprise of the committee and people and the chapel was dedicated free of debt. The chapel and church parlors are among the most beautiful and satisfactory ones in this part of the state. On Sunday even- ing of last week the church held it's last meeting in the old chapel, and gave it their farewell in religious exercises and reminiscent speeches by it's pastor and Messrs J. H. Linsley and F. F. Hitchcock. It had been in use half century and many touching incidents were mentioned and fond recollections brought to mind. The historical incidents of half century mentioned by the speakers were very in- teresting. On Thursday of last week the dedication of the new chapel took place. A large audience was in attendance. The services were conducted by the pastor and interesting, appropriate and elo- auent remarks were made by him. Rev J.L. R. Wyckoff of the North Congrega- tional church, Dea J. H.

This old church organized in Strat ford May 5, 1870, and moving bodily int the wilderness of Woodbury in 1872 founding frontier town, has had a TO mantle and worthy history second to nc town in Connecticut.

HARRY HAYWARD STILL WANTS
THAT TEN THOUSAND OF
INSURANCE.
HIS ATTORNEY INSTRUCTED,
1T IS SAID, TO ANSWER THE
COMPLAINT OF JULIA
GING-
THE STATUE TO OLE BULL
Committee of Seventy Takes Ac-
don-SchOOl commissioners
Consider Sites,

Harry Hayward intends to fight
the suit brought by ex-Mayor Eustis
for his client, Julia Cling, admins
tratriX of the estate of Katherine
Cling. This was indicated yesterday
afternoon, when he had a long con-
ference with S. A. Reed, the attor-
ney who will represent him in the
action.
Mr.. Reed was instructed, it is
claimed, to draw up the answer to
the complaint Immediately, and he
will probably begin work at once.
The general allegations of fraud,
which were set forth in the COM
plant so literally, will be denied,
and an effort will be made to show
that the transaction by means of
which Hayward secured the assign
ment of the $4,000 in life insurance
policies was perfectly straight.
If Hayward lives to make the
fight as intended it is probable that
much of the ground gone over in the
criminal action will be gone over
again, but new light in the shape Of
evidence showing the business re-
lation of Miss Cling and her muir
derer will be brought out under the
civil case. 1t is understood that the
attorneys will make an effort to
crowd the case up to an early place
on the calendar, and in the event
Hayward should be executed before
the case came to trial, his executors
would continue the fight.

STATUE TO OLE BULL.
First Concerted Work Done in the
Matter

The committee Of seventy appointed
for the purpose of working for the
erection of the proposed Ole Bull
statue held yesterday afternoon it's
first meeting in the New York Life
building library. Some twenty-five
members were present. Among them
might be mentioned Senator R. E.
Thomson, of Preston; G. ]. Lommen,
of st. Paul; Rev. Falk M Gjertsen,
John w. and Ludwig Arctander, Prof
Eric Guile, Fjelde, the artist, State
Weighmaster Reese, Henry ]. Gjert-
sen, assistant librarian; H. Askeland,
H. Lohrbauer Yagvar Laws, publisher
Rasmussen, and Thorvald Nielsen.
John w. Arctander opened the meet
ing by giving an outline of the work
that is to be done by the executive
committee of five and by the great
committee of seventy; also of the plans
of the executive committee with re-
gard to the raising of the necessary
money.
1t was proposed to send out an ap-
peal to the Norwegians of America,
asking them to give subscriptions.
The appeal would be printed in every
Norwegian paper and would in the
first hand be directed to the Nor
wegian-American singers. The appeal
would be divided into two separate
parts; one issued by the great COM
mittee and one by the executive COM
mittee The latter part should chiefly
be detailed explanation of the former,
advising those interested in the move
ment how to work for its promotion.

favor of Keller, who was elected on the

VERY HEAVY PENALTY
May Be Assessed Against Ameri-
lean Asphalt Company.

May Be Assessed Against Ameri-
lean Asphalt Company.
By tonight it is expected that the
American Asphalt company will have
rolled its steam engine even to the
line of the cedar block pavement on
Washington avenue, and the slow job
of paving Nicollet avenue will have
gone down in history. At a late hour
last night the line of demarcation be-
tween the asphalt that had been laid
and pressed, and the concrete which
was yet to be covered was in the i'm
mediate environment of Goodfellow'S
store.
And now comes a new contest. The
contract called for the completion of
the paving by the first of July, not of
next year, but the first of July, and it
was explicitly stated in the paper that
if the company did not finish the paw
ing by that time, that it should forfeit
$40 a day to the city for every day
which elapsed between that time and
the completion of the job. From the
first of July to the 21st of Aug. is in
round figures fifty days, and fifty
times 500, according to computations
by the city engineer, is $1,000
When the estimates of the work are
presented to the city comptroller,
which will probably be before the last
of this week. Mr.. Nye will deduct 81 600,
or Whereabouts, from the little bill of
the American Asphalt company, and
that will bring on a crisis.
The American Asphalt company does
not propose to be held liable for this
$1,000. 1t will not sue, probably, but
it will try to bluff the matter through
the council. Some aldermanic friend
of the company will move to abate the
penalty, and will argue in behalf of
this proposition that the city has not
held other contractors strictly to this
rule, and that therefore it should not
be enforced.

shapes. One, apparently tusk, was
broken so as to be useless, and the
dlfferent pieces were picked up and
carried away by the workmen for
keepsakes. 1t was originally, they
say, nine feet long, and one section
which was preserved is eight or nine
inches in diameter, and almost cylin-
drical. The workmen at first supposed
the fragments pieces of petrified wood,
and broke them into small pieces to
carry home as keepsakes.
Another large piece found appeared
to be tooth, but like the other it was
ruthlessly smashed, and a bucket full
of the pieces is sitting in a window
of the roundhouse. They are of a
closer structure than the others, which
would indicate that the fragmet was
a tooth, and its original shape bears
out the theory. But the most salts
factory find consisted of the two pei
vic bones, which were unearthed al
most entire, lying side by side. They
were apparently connected when first
deposited by ligaments, which decayed
and left them together as in life.
