1t was dark when Fred Wilton re-

expectations he found the half-breed in

he noticed that it had risen considera-

driftwood could be seen here and there
upon it's surface.

opened into the yard of the De Alma

 Mrs Johns Murphy and daughter. Miss Minnie Murphy of Bank street are enjoying themselves at savin Rock.
 William Judge of Bridgeport is spending the week with his grand mother, Mrs Begnal of South Leonard street.
 An entertainment of very pleas ing nature will be given at the Third Congregational church on Thursday evening of next week.
 Miss Allie Wooding of Alder street has accepted position with the South ern New Engla1N Telephone company at it's office on Bank street.
 Miss Mary Brazel who lives in F. J. Lynch's block on Lafayette street was bitten on the arm yesterday by dog owned by John Shea who lives in the same building. Dr Russell was called and cauterized the cut which was rather painful one. The dog, which did the biting was shot last night.
 The statement published herein yes terday that Miss Martha Ramp and Daniel Danaher were spending few days at Meadows End was incorrect The reporter was given the item and having no reason to question its genu- ineness, it went just the same as all such apparently innocent looking mo- tices go. As matter of fact the par ties mentioned have not been away from home and in any case the young people referred to have no acquaint- ance with each other.
 Still another meeting of the board of education has been held and nothing done in regard to the petition sent to that board many weeks ago by 25 of the most prominent taxpayers of this district asking that the dial of the clock of the Bank street school be illuminated. The people of this section would like to have this matter settled one way or the other. They want the dial illuminated and their wish should be granted. It is about the only improvement which tlf. l people of this section have asked for from the present city boards which has | not been granted.
 Ernest r. Ziegler of Riverside | street will leave towards the latter 1 part of this week for Lewis county. l West Virginia.

He owns 1000 shares on | which dividend of three per cent is paid each month. If upon investigation
 he finds that the wells in Lewis county
 are of such value as they have been I reported he will purchase 1000 shares. l There are already thirteen wells be-
 ing worked by this company. If Mir | Zeigler's investment proves successful

REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS.
Intent of the Farmers to Have New
 Law Take Effect Next Year.

Hartford, July 17.-Registrars of electors in many of the towns in the state are in doubt as to when the law enacted by the Legislature at it's recent session, which requires that all elec- tors before they can vote in a patty caucus shall register with the regis trars the name of the political party in which caucus they propose 10 act, goes into effect. They law provides that lists shall be prepared in August and February of each year, and that after the first day of March, 1902. no person shall vote or participate in any political caucus or primary except elec- tors who have enrolled as provided by the act. and any person attempting to vote CT participate in any caucus or pri- mary without having enrolled will be guilty of a misdemeanor. and upon coli viction shall be fined not more than S100, or imprisoned not more than sixty days, or both. The act does not apply to any political party casting less than ten per cent of. the total vote of any town or city at the last previous cleo ton
 All laws passed at the recent session of the legislature take effect August 1 unless otherwise specified, and unde- this resolution of the general assembly many registrars hold that it will be necessary for electors to enroll next month. The registrars of Bridgeport are reported to have so interpreted the law. but the fact that the law sloes not provide q penalty until after the first day of March, 1902, has led many to believe that it is not intended that the law is to take effect until next year.
 Representative Harrison B. Freeman, IT. who is member of the judiciary committee at the last session, said that the law was not intended to take effect until.neNt year. The committee felt, MT Freeman said. that electors would not have time to register if the law was to become effective this year. Senator Roberts of this city is of the same opinion as MT Freeman and this is the view held by many lawyers here. This seems to be the common sense view. since law without penalty is of but litIe value and the penalty provided cannot be imposed until after March of next year.
 It is the intention of the law that an elector will have to register his party preference but once. but should he wish to change to another party it will be necessary for him to make, known his change to the registrars before he can take part in the caucus of another political party. .

Interstate Shooting Tournament.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Ten sweep stake events were shot off yesterday over the Interstate park traps near Queens, on Long Island. It was the opening day of the Interstate association's second grand American handicap tournament at inani- mate targets, and the majority of the best professional and amateur trap shooters in the country took part in it. None of the professionals had any share of the money prizes and shot for targets only, so that the amateurs who were successful in scoring a sufficient number of breaks in each event were rewardedawith fairly substantial sums of money. @'Of the ten events five were at 15 targets each and the other five 1t 20 targets each. The best aggregate score of the day was made by Simon Glover of Rochester, who broke 167 out of possible 17S The next best was made by w. R. Crosby of O'Fallon, Ills, the champion target shot of the world, who broke 166. Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake, la, with 164, was close third.

He read the dispatch with the greatest interest and express ed his surprise at it's contents.
 T hardly know what to say about this dispatch,' he remarked q have just received telegram from the navy department asking me to explain fully by letter the reasons for bringing the Concord to this port, but I have not yet prepared my answer.
 Tt will be impossible for me to say anything pending instructions from the navy department. more than that I have an explanation to make officially which 1 am confident will be entirely satisfactory to the department"
 Commander Knox is still aboard the Concord but will probably be detached from the vessel and taken to hospi- tai i'll this city tomorrow. His health has considerably improved within the last few days.
