FAIR HAVEN HAPPENINGS
LANCRAET BROTHERS. OYSTER
STEAMERS HEALTHY LADEN.

The Condition of the streets-MaiI Carr
riers Have IA Big Day Oysters Not So
Good Owing 10 the Warm Weather.
The Lancraft Brothers have had their
steamer Carrie V. at work on their oys-
ter beds at Patchogue, Rockaway and
Oak Dale, Long Island, for several
weeks catching oysters, and they are
shipping from these beds to New York
about 800 bushels of oysters week.
This is very fine stock and said to be
equal in quality to the famous Blue
Points. The steamer Carrie V. was
purchased by the firm at Providence
several months ago. The boat formerly
belonged in Providence.
The crossover nearly opposite the Sta
ton A has been so undermined to eX-
pedite the work of preparing for the
brick paving that several electric cars
are derailed every day. Two left the
track yesterday. On Saturday one OF
the cars was damaged on being thrown
from the track.
Another spot that has been left in
very bad condition is at Ferry street,
where both crosswalks have been dug
away. This is the most important cross
ing of Grand avenue in Fair Haven,
and never should have been left in such
condition. 1t was reported yesterday
that load of brick had arrived in the
harbor, and it is to be hoped that the
report Is true, for the people are anx-
ious to have the paving job finished
During the time of waiting for the brick
the workmen have been grading and
putting in the concrete foundation, so
the work of paving can be pushed ahead
expeditiously.
In resetting the curbing on the north
side of Grand avenue the large roots of
several large elms have been cut. 1t Is
feared this treatment will injure the
trees permanently.
Miss Effie w. johnson, who has been
singing several Sundays in the choir of
the Grand avenue Baptist church, has
been engaged to sing permanently She
was formerly the soprano in the Union
Baptist church of Montowese. Eugene
Perry, basso, who sang at the Grand
avenue church Sunday, has been invited
to sing permanently
The voting places in the Fair Haven
wards are located as follows: Eleventh
ward, iii and 113 Chapel street; Twelfth
ward, corner of Grand avenue and
Bright street. Fourteenth ward, engine
house, East Grand avenue; and Fiji
teenth ward, engine house, Forbes ave-
nue..
Several Fair Haven people will attend
the reception to be given by Childs'
Business college in Harmonic hall on
the evening Of November %. Clifford
Roberts and Miss Hurd of Fair Haven
attend the college,
w. D. Hemingway and E. H. Craw-
ford have returned from stay of sew
eral weeks with relatives in Norfolk,
Va They report business as very good
there and the city is growing rapidly,
as is Newport News, just across the
harbor. The location of several cotton
mills at Norfolk has greatly helped the |
business of the city.
Superintendent Mulvey of Station A |
saws that the carriers yesterday had the |
biggest day in delivering mail matter
of any day since the station was estab- !
lished 1t was necessary to employ a |
substitute carrier, Frank Daley, to de-
liver the mail, the extra matter consist |
ing of election ballots, pastors and po-
litical circulars. 1t is estimated that |
fully 10000 election envelopes were de-
1ivered from Station A and the rush
was so great that the carriers We're
Obliged to omit the usual noon deliv-
cry
The warm weather this fall has been
unfavorable for shipping oysters, but
a fair amount has been shipped With
the advent of cooler weather the ship
ments will increase rapidly.
Some of the dealers report that the
seastars are beginning to scourge the
deep water beds of the sound. These
stars are from the set of this year,
which are large enough to terrorize the
oyster family They are working in
from deep water on to the oyster farms
and it will require vigilance on the part
of the planters to keep the beds free
from the pests.
The w. C. r. U. will hold parlor
meeting at the residence of Mrs. Moody
this afternoon at o'clock.
