 MT. Dicks Coming Addresses-G General
 News.
 The address given by the evangelist
 John M, Dick of Boston, at the Y. M
 c. A. rooms last Sunday was masterly
 one. The rooms were crowded with an
 exceptionally intelligent audience oi
 men, many standing in the aisles fer
 want of seats. MT. Dick is a speaker
 of great power and eloquence and un- derstands the needs of the men of our
 day. He has great magnetic power
 and is also of broad education. He
 speaks in plain but forcible language
 and with much earnestness. His ad-
 dress was on Secret Sins or Fast Liv- ing, being the first in a series of six
 addresses that he is to give on Sunday | afternoons of this month and next Sunday his subject will be "The Devil s Tools" and arrangements are being
 made to provide seats and hymn books for all who can be accommodated in the rooms The meetings are for men only and begin promptly at o'clock, a ser vice of song beginning ten minutes earlier The directors of the associa-
 tion are fortunate in securing MT. Dick and that the men of Fair Haven ap- preciate 1t was shown by the fact that
 last Sundays audience was the largest in the history of the association. There is promise that the remaining services will tax the hall to the utmost of it's capacity.
 | The class in mechanical drawing of the Y. M. c. A. organized Tuesday evening.
 A meeting of the Y. M c. A. will be
 held this tSaturday) evening at
 o'clock.
 Lieutenant Colonel Henry w. Robert
 of the United States engineers corps met a number of Fair Haven business men interested in the building of a drawbridge in place of the present Grand avenue bridge, yesterday
 Those present were T. G. w. Jefferson,
 William A. Warner, Dwight Chipman, F. P, Goodsell, c. D. Parmelee, Willet Hemingway, H. w. Crawford D. B. Brown, William Brooks, M. Hemingway, E. c. Rowe, H. H. Thompson, Charles D. Thompson, Lucius Rowe, c. l.. Lud- ington, Luzerne Ludington, H. A. Stew ems, s. Chipman, George w. Dayton and c. S. Bushnell. Attorney L. P. Deming appeared for the petitioners
 After the case had been presented to Colonel Robert he was taken down to the bridge and to the point where the new Shore Line railroad crosses Quinnipiac river. Colonel Robert fa- yored the enterprise and was surprised it had not been carried out before. He said he hardly knew of a place in this country with such fine navigation where there is draw and at West river, where it is proposed to build one the flow of water is not as great as here, he said. He explained that it would be necessary to swing seventy feet in the clear on each side of the central pier. He said 1t would be neces- sary to notify the city and town, own CTS of the present bridge, the railroad and all parties in interest to attend meeting to be held in city hall and which is likely to be held within a month. From what the colonel said, if the same interest Is manifested in the drawbridge at the next meeting, it seems likely he will recommend to the secretary of war the erection of draw bridge.
 Corporation Counsel Driscoll was pres ent and said he was in favor of the new bridge. If built, it will be neces- sary to get the city to makes its ap- propriation next December, and then the town would undoubtedly concur. In any event 1t is likely to be at least a year before the building of new structure would begin.
