The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently
performed great deed of charity, al.
though it was not designed a charity,
being nothing more nor less than an
advert ising scheme. 1t however resulted
in great good just the same. They gave
away 900 bottles OF their Digestive Cor
dial to those suffering from stomach de-
engagements.
1t was so effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they were loud IN
their praises OF it and in consequence a
large demand for he cordial was at once
created.
The druggists OF this town have little
books that tell all about it. Digestive
Cordial creates an appetite, aids digestion
and brings about rapid increase in flesh
and strength.

QUINNIPIAC DRAWBRIDGE
PLANS FOR THE NEW STRUCTURE
NEARLY COMPLETED.

Must be Submitted to United States Govern
ment for Approval-Bridge to Cost About
Fifty Thousand Dollars-City viii Issue
Bonds as Provided for by State Leginla-
ture.
The plans for the new drawbridge Or
dered by the United States government
to be constructed across the Quinnipiac
river at Grand avenue are rapidly near
ing completion under the supervision of
City Engineer Cassius w. Kelly and
will be soon submitted to the board of
public works for approval. They will
then be sent to Washington for approx
al by the United States government, as
it is required that they must be accept
ed by the government before the work
Of constructing the bridge can be COM
menced.
The bridge must be completed and
open to traffic by the latter part of
next year, so that as bridge building is
necessarily slow at the best, but little
time remains before the actual work of
construction must be commenced. The
new bridge is to be erected at a cost of
about $4,000, and will prove a decided
improvement to the section of the city
where it is to be located. The present
bridge is an old ram-shackle affair and
has b en- condemned as unsafe for heavy
IA a al, \
eral teams have broken through the
planking of the present bridge, but for
tunately no serious casualties have &C.
Cured UP to the present.
In order to secure funds with which to
erect the bridge the city of New Haven
will be compelled to issue bridge build
ing bonds, and the bridge will be con-
structed from the proceeds of the sale
of these bonds. At the last session of
the general assembly an act was passed
authorizing the city to issue bridge
bonds, and the act was approved by the
governor July l, 1895. 1t is in full as
follows:
Resolved by this assembly: Section l.
That the city of New Haven be,and the
same hereby is, authorized and empow-
cred to issue under the corporate name
and seal, and upon the credit of said
city, bonds or other certificates of debt
to an amount not exceeding in the
whole the par value of $1,000 which
bonds shall be denomnAted Bridge
Bonds of the City of New Haven, and
the same or the avails thereof may be
appropriated by the city, by the vote
of its court of common council, to the
payment of any expenses incurred by
said city in the construction of new
bridges, and for no other purposes.
Section 2. Said bonds may be issued
in such sums, and shall be prepared,
