 Reports from down North Haven way
 are full of the disgraceful and what
 might be called almost murderous of-
 fray near Allen Sawyer's house, just
 over the North Haven line, at a late
 hour Saturday night. Three men from l the borough and a like number from
 Beantown were engaged in a scrim-
 mage in which rifle and pistol balls
 were flying in a dangerous manner. The only reasonl there was not blood
 shed was the darkness and poor marks
 manship. Sawyer's house bears the
 marks of several of the bullets. The
 matter has been brought to the atten-
 ton of North Haven officers.
 The concrete walks in various parts
 of the borough are in terrible condi-
 ton and sadly i'm need of repairs. Every
 year at intervals the matter of repair | ing the walks is brought up in the In nd dis. cussed, and the clerk instructed to mo- tify the property owners to repair their respective walks. The clerk duly sent out the notices, but the walks, at least large share of them, are not repaired. On East Center street, ,Quinnipiac street, Hall avenue and many other streets in places the concrete is almost entirely gone. Now spring has come, 1t Is time that the walks should be fixed up.

The harness was badly broken and the wagon somewhat demoralized.
 George w. Morse is said to have struck a bonanza A few months ago Morse and one of his friends furnished the cash and another man furnished the h. ventive genius, and the outcome of the combination was an ideal piece of ma chinery, and recently the patent has been sold for $250,000, which, divided equally between the three, will prove quite a respectable starter, considering the depressed state of business at pres ent.
