 The electric ca4s have ceased running through to the city via Chapel street owing to the break in communication caused by the early construction of the new drawbridge. There was some talk that the cars would be run over the Manufacturers railway from a point east of the bridge, connecting with the Grand avenue line, but 1t seems that the company had not considered the plan. This would have accommodated the people who depended upon the East Chapel and East Pearl street line to ride to the center of the city. If the contractors will hurry up the work on the bridge the people will try to be pa tient, but some are prophesying that the work will take about a year and a half.
 All of the pastors were present yes- terday at the several churches, and the choirs, which have been away during August, had returned Communion was celebrated in most of the churches. At the Grand avenue Congregational church the service was held at p. m. and was largely attended.

He was driving in a delivery wagon to his farm in East Haven, and when near Chapel street bridge the wagon was struck by an electric car. MT. Eagan was thrown out with great violence up on his head. One wagon wheel was smashed and the vehicle otherwise damaged. Friends went to MT. Eagan' s relief and he was picked up and taken to his home, 279 Ferry street.
