 S7YLL BRANCHING OUT.
Continued Evidence of Popularit
 with the Public.

Continued Evidence Of Popularity with the Public.
 In spite of the fact of his having four other grocery stores in prominent parts of the city, all of which are doing a large and f1ourishing business s. s. Adams, the prominent grocer, still finds the customers of the old store on State street increasing, and has just been forced to make more room in order to accommodate them. He has just erect ed a commodious office in the eastern part of the store, which is reached by a stairway, and this will give considerable more space for goods.
 Another requisition to MT. Adams list of stores, a recent one, is the store for merly occupied by the w. F. Judd com- pany, on the corner of Howard and Co., lumbus avenues. This store Is a model one in every respect, finely equipped and stocked, as all the Adams stores are, so that the business, since acquired by him, has branched out considerably
 From this fact and the undeniable popularity of his other stores it can but be concluded that the name S, s. Adams stands for good groceries with the housewives of New Haven.

 ED.
Moulders in Malleable Iron Fittings

Moulders in Malleable Iron Fittings Company at Branford on Strike.
 Nearly eighty men employed in the annealing room of the Malleable Iron Fitting company in Branford went on a strike yesterday morning and at even ing they were still out. The cause of the step was their dissatisfaction with the wage schedule. This the men say is now $1.25 per man day, which is ten cents lower than the regular rate. The cut was made. they claim, nearly year ago and they now desire a restoration of the old rate. Last evening the situ- ation was still unchanged and the men were still out The statement was made that the officials of the company had not yet been informed of the reason for the mems action.
 The foundry is owned entirely by the P. F. Hammer &, Sons of Branford and employs large number of men. Should the strike result in anything serious nearly 800 men would be temporarily thrown out of work

MORRIS COVE NOTES

Rev. William McNicholl of St. An | drews church preached powerful ser mon in Park Methodist chapel Sunday afternoon from the words, What God has cleansed call thou not common or unclean" His masterly manner and burning words held his listeners so qui- etly and attentively that a dropping of a pin would have been noticed, His whole aim seemed to be to do the peo- pie good and honor the cause he repre- sents.
 MT. Schneider has his fine residence on Lighthouse road nearly completed and it is a fine looking building; in fact, the most imposing in the Cove.
 Jacob Everett has moved into his nice new home on the old Morris property a welcomed addition to the permanent residents.
 MT. Boyier has moved into his new home on Lighthouse road another per- manent resident A hearty welcome to all newcomers.
 MT. Clapps new cottage has been completed and his family are expected to soon occupy it for the balance of the summer.
 Edward Wards new home is very neat and pretty, and nearly finished. It is hoped he will become a benedict and occupy it himself instead of rent ing it.
 Two needed improvements are now going on The water and gas compa- nies are laying pipes from the Cove ho- tel to the lower part of the Cove, and perhaps to the Lighthouse. Morris park people are greatly pleased, as more homes are promised when the park is supplied with water, and those already there will appreciate both water and gas.
 Among the attendants at Park chapel last Sunday afternoon was MT. Doty of Hartford, MT. Plaskett of New Britain and a goodly number of people from New Haven. All joined in praise for the preacher and the preaching.

TRITM PLANT Ell

Saturdays game, in the opinion of many who are in a position to know, was the best that has ever been seen at the field. Within the memory of the undergraduates of to-day there is cer-
 tainly but one other that in point of in
 terest can be compared with it-and
 that is the wonderful game with Prince
 ton two years ago. Every hope and
 every bit of confidence that Yale has
 placed in her team was justified Satur- day It could not have done better. Each man played for all there was in him, and as a consequence it is almost impossible to decide where the great est individual praise should go. Rob- ertson's work in the box was phenome- nal, and his steady pitching has rarely been equalled on the intercollegiate field Yale is proud of her team to-day, and Captain deSaulles and his men deserve all the good things that will be said about them We do not believe in be- ing over-confident. Yet we cannot but believe that the prestige gained by this victory will go far toward winning the games to come. Here's the best of suc- cess to the nine, and may they end the two championship series as triumphant ly as they have began this one.-Yale News.

ALLEGED FALSE AFFIDAVIT.
Charge on Which Pension Attorney
Wilgus Was Arrested.

Constable Alter last night arrested
Lorenzo D. Wilgus on warrant issued
by the Federal Court in San Francisco
charging him with having made a false
affidavit for the purpose of securing a
pension for a client.
Mr.. Wilgus has for a number of years
conducted a pension agency at Eleventh
and j streets, and has heretofore borne
a good reputation.
Constable Alter said to a "Record-
Union" reporter last night that some
time ago Wilgus in his effort to secure
a. pension for an old colored man in this
city, forwarded an affidavit setting
forth that he had known the applicant
during the war, and knew that he was
a member of a specified regiment
Alter stated that the papers in the
case showed that the pension authori-
ties had investigated the application
and found that the only two men of
that name who served in the regiment
are dead and buried, and that Wilgus
The record-union., 1899-04-25

had been discharged from the regiment
several months before the date men
toned in the affidavit.
The affidavit, Constable Alter said,
set forth that the affiant remembered
the applicant as a member of the regi-
ment, because of his expertness at high
jumping and other athletics. Mr.. Will
gus told him that possibly he might
have been mistaken in the man, but his
recollection so Tailed with the colored
mans account of himself that he had
no hesitancy in making affidavit that
he was the man he represented himself
to be.
Constable Alter has a warrant for
the arrest of the applicant for the PEN
SION and will serve the same this morn
ing.
Bonds have been fixed in Wilgus' case
at 81 900.

ONE-HORsE STYLE.
Miserable Street Sprinkling in
Residence Localities.

Complaint is made in some of the
residence portions of the city of the
manner in which the sprinkling con-
tractors do their work and it certainly
is time somebody brought them up with
a jerk.
Some of the sprinkling wagons make
a single trip through the middle of the
street and never sprinkle within five
feet of the curbs. Where there are
railroad tracks all the wagon travel is
on the sides, and it is not an uncOm-
mon thing to see the middle (and un-
used) portion of the street well soaked
while clouds of dust rise along the sides
and settle on the front steps and
porcheS of the residences.
It's nice, cheap way to sprinkle
streets, but the people who pay for the
service-and for officials to- see that the
work is properly done-have a right to
complain. They should not be content
with this, however, but should demand
the value of their money in a. way that
would be effective.
