The sale for the benefit of the Hou- satonic Summer Home for Working Women at Shelton, Conn, held recent ly at the residence of Mrs. George A.. filling, 1195 Chapel street, was highly successful. Mrs. filling is avery active and devoted member of the board, and has given much time and money to the cause. Her home being very attractive and commodious, it was quite easy to place at advantage all the handsome articles of fancy work. The drawing room. where they were to be seen, was presided over by Mrs Samuel A. York, jr., and the Misses York, Moulthrop and Osborn. The music room was given up to flowers and home made candy, the supervision of which was given to Mrs $. W. Hart. Misses filling, Barnum and Munson.

HUMPHREY STREET CHURCH.

The Annual Christmas Sale of the La
 die,' Aid Society.
 The Ladies Aid society of the Hum phrey street Congregational church will have their annual Christmas sale in the parlors of the church tomorrow evening" Home made cake and can- dies, flowers and many fancy articles suitable for Christmas gifts, also ice cream, will be on sale. Admission will be free and all are invited. At the church service Sunday evening a spec ial musical selection was rendered dur ing the offertory by Miss Rena Teresa Barnes, leading soprano of St. John S P. E. church. Miss Barnes sang "The Holy City" with delightful sweetness and purity of tone and the solo was a fitting prelude to the fine sermon by the Rev. Frank R. Luckey, pastor of the church. The sermon was written from the text Walk in the fear of the Lord all the days of thy life, for in the future thy hope shall be fulfilled" The chorus choir under the direction of Prof. Fowler is giving good satisfaction and the special musical solos at inter- vals by prominent local singers are very pleasant.

Claim for Several Hundred Dollars The Augur Wnl Case e-BanIxruptcy Matters-City Court Cases.

The Minor & Merriam company, gro- cers and meat dealers at No 1S0 Temple street, have been attached by the Le- mora Wine and Brandy company of Brooklyn N. Y, for a claim of several hundred dollars. The store was at tached on Saturday by Constable Sei- bert, who had the writ drawn by Attor- ney E. s. Thomas, counsel for the Le- mora company. Keeper Munson was placed in the store and will remain there until some sort of a settlement has been made.
 It is understood that the members of the concern have consulted counsel and have been advised to try and effect settlement with their creditors. Yes terday afternoon a number of the cred itors met the members of the firm and talked over their affairs. If the at tempt to reach a settlement fails it is probable that the concern will go into bankruptcy
 The company has been doing large business since 1t was organized, but has not been able to make prompt collec- tions. Another cause of their financial difficulties is said to be that they have been trying to carry on large business on limited capital.
