THE SALE OF THE OLD LINE.

THE SALE OF THE OLD LINE.
 It Is ascertained that two causes led to the New Haven Steamboat sale to the New Haven Railroad company. Some weeks ago the railroad company gave formal notice to the boat company that unless it desisted from competitoin its cut rates would be met. On the oth- CT hand, the boat company had taken steps for fresh competitoin by stopping it's boats at Saunderstown, R. l., thence connecting by trolley with Narragan- sett Pier and by ferry with Newport. The acuteness of the situation thus cre- ated brought both parties together into negotiations.
 An important part of the property transferred is the new wharf built but not yet used by the boat company here, of an estimated value of $100,000. Pres 1dent Hall says that one of the most important results of the transfer is the relief of the Harlem terminal from con- gestion and delay in the delivery of local freight at New York city, hereafter to be shipped to the boat line. President Clark some months ago made an at- tempt to avoid that trouble by special izing New York rail freight, but was unsuccessful.

In Suit Brought by Bridgeport Liv-

In Suit Brought by Bridgeport Liv- eryman.
 Bridgeport, April 23.-Papers were brought to-day in an action brought by Henry Burlinson against John Bren- nan, jr., an advertising solicitor, to re- cover $400 damages. About four weeks ago the defendant hired horse and carriage of the plaintiff to go to Mill ford. He drove over to New Haven in company with Jacob Mann instead The young man, so it is alleged, urged the horse along at a terrific clip. It is said that the animal made the eigh- teen miles in an hour and ten minutes After remaining in New Haven for a short time the young man started back. It is charged that they again drove the horse for all it was worth When near Milford the poor animal fell down with fatigue and was unable to go further.
 The horse was left in Milford over night and the next morning was brought back to this city MT Burlin- SOll Qiu llot sSc IL etSuiiit lOWtNeI, IUI three days He finally recovered the animal from Peck & Lines stable, where 1t had been left. It was so much used up that it could hardly walk.
 MT. Burlinson claims that the horse was worth $150 and that it was ruined It is also alleged that the carriage was injured, Sheriff Doolan served the pa pers to-day and arrested young Bren- nan on a body write. The young mans father, John Brennan, ST, put up bond of S400 and secured his release. The papers are returnable to the civil common pleas court.
 Action was not instituted sooner be- cause the defendant had been in the hospital for some time suffering from the effects of injuries received in runaway accident.

It was about six feet long, the hull being made of cape flowers and the rest of white roses set off by carna- tons. The railings were of violets.

Rev. Spencer II. Bray and of his wife, Martha Rachel Bray (now deceased), will regret to hear of Mrs. Bray's death, which occurred in New York on the evening of April 21, Mrs. Bray had been an invalid for four years past. All that the most devoted care and best medical skill could do to restore her health were unavailing. There was no recurrence of the illness which she had when in New Haven and for which surgical operation was performed sue cessfully, but she was attacked by Bright's disease and by form of par alysis which rendered her helpless as far as walking was concerned For nearly three years Rev. MT. Bray has given his whole time to caring for her night and day as far as possible. On account of her illness MT. Bray has preached but seven Sundays during the past two years. MT and Mrs. Bray had lived and labored together for forty years. Mrs Bray's death will be much mourned, as she had a great many warm friends in every church in which MT. Bray has served as pastor. Rev, MT Bray was pastor of the old St. John
  years ago and later was pastor for number of years of the Humphrey street Congregational church, this city, going from there to serve as pastor in the mission work connected with the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, of which the late and famous Rev Will liam M. Taylor was pastor.
 The funeral of Mrs. Bray will take place tomorrow Wednesday, morning at 10:30 o'clock from her late residence No 69 West Ninety ninth street. New York city. The remains will be brought to this city on the arrival here of the train which leaves New York at D. n, and the interment will be in Evergreen cemetery. Rev. MT. Luckey of the Humphrey street church will officiate at the grave.
