 | Yesterday morning a twelve-foot rowboat was seen sailing up Quinnipiac l river. It was imbedded in a big cake 1 of ice which was floating rapidly with | the tide. It is probable that the craft | had been tied to some wharf and when | the ice broke up it was detached from | it's fastenings As the boat passed un- der Quinnipiac drawbridge it was dis covered by c. R. Newton, a clerk in the Booth meat market. He hastened to
 one of the Front street Wharves, secur- ed a roWboat and rowed up stream to intercept the fugitive craft, which had got good start. It was a long chase and he did not catch up with the boat
 until it had nearly reached the Shore Line railroad bridge. After considera-
 bic difficulty he broke away the ice and got line to the runaway But it was not easy to row out of the ice pack and it was quite time before he got into clear water. Rowing down against the tide was not easy and row on the riv- CT in February is no pleasure trip. It was fully two hours before he returned with the boats. The boat which he picked up is painted green outside and red inside.

 The proposition for the M. Seward & Son company to locate in Fair Haven East, as outlined in this paper yester- lay, is meeting with favor. One East Side resident offers to subscribe $5,000 ( 0 the company's stock if any further ; apital is needed provided Fair Ha- ' -en site is adopted. There is very lit- z le manufacturing in the Fourteenth s yard since the wire mill burned, and ( his kind of enterprise is needed to , ring business to that locality again. { everal of the citizens will do what they an to have the new business located ( here. It is said that wherever the , ompany locates it's plant it will require !
 signed agreement from this adjoining ! roperty owners that they will not op- I ose the company because of any noise g rom it's trip hammers. One of the S ammers weighs eight tons, and pre- ! it will make quite little noise I I hammering iron, but the people in I he district say they can stand little I oise, provided Q good, live manufact- \ ring plant is located among them. The i fleet of such an enterprise, employing ( twenty-five hands, would be to provide f demand for tenements-some of which re now idle-and increase business at V ne nroysOp stores T.
