DERBY.

A fire in the new F'Iaherty block on Elizabeth street early Sunday morning aroused the sleeping village and marred many Sunday suit on the fire laddies, who, with their usual alacrity, respond ed to the alarm. The damage to the building was principally from smoke, and the cause of the fire, which origina- ted in the basement, is believed to have been some over-worked woodwork in the neighborhood of the furnace,
 The three new Methodist pastors have made excellent impressions and have been cordially received by their respec- tive congregations. Comment has al- ways been made in the custom of swap ping or exchanging pastor among the Methodfsts every three or five years. 1t is argued that minister does not get acquainted with his charge ere he has to vacate the premises. But the policy is certainly not injurious to the socie- ties, for the work goes on often with a greater earnestness as new hands are put to the wheels. A reception will be given by Rev. Mir. Marsdale on Friday evening in the parlors of the Derby Methodist church.

PASTOR SUES MEMBER FOR s5,000. The Rev. $. Edmund Breen, pastor of | the Second Congregational church in Danbury, has brought action for islander against Arthur M. Patchen, 8 member | of his congregation, and asks for five thousand dollars damages. The Rev. MT. Breen alleges that MT. Patchen wrote to another member of the church that the pastors language in the pulpit was more like that of Satan than a Christian, and declared in a church meeting that the minister did not have an honest hair in his head. MT. Patch en, who is a contractor. has long been prominent in the affairs of the church and heavy contributor toward it's sup- port The troubles which eliminated in the suit are the result of dissensions which have recently shaken the church and divided the congregation He is a thief and liar and a crook from way back MT. Patchen is alleged to have said of MT. Breen at a recent church meeting, and at another time he is al- |leged to have declared: "He is the
 worst enemy I have got; he hasn't got
 an honest hair in his head"

AMUSEM ENTS,
OLD lAVENDAR TONIGHT,
Edward Harrigan's Sterling Play at
Opera House, This Evening.

| Tonight, at the Opera House. Edward
Harrigan will present his famous play,
"Old Lavender"-a play which has
moved thousands to tears and laughter
| Mr.. Harrigan was at Bangor, Tuesday
and the following from the News of
J Wednesday. shows how that CITY liked
/ old lavender:
In Bangor opera House. Tuesday
night a good sized audience welcomed
the veteran comedian. Edward HarrI =
gan, who presented his best and most
successful play old Lavender for the
first time III this city within recent
years.
1T has been said. and truly. that Ed
ward Harrigan and Joseph jefferson
are the only living eXponents of true
comedy upon the american stage. Thu
field once occupied by many is now
shared by them alone: the character
of Zip Van Wrinkle. ana the character
Of George CoSgswell. though set in
different environments, have many
traits in common. Certainly the latter
is one of the finest dramatic studies
that We knoW.-for throughout the
three acts Of the play old Lavender
moves as a grandly Impressive figure
dignifed anil his rags, majestic even
in his degradation, simple, whole
hearted. true, wrinsng pathos from
laughter, turning comedy to tears. A
thousand dcft and clever little touches
so slight in themselves that many of
them pass unrecogniZed-turn much
which an ordinary actor would make
only ridiculous into the highest form
Of art
Mr. Harriear's representation of
Lavender seems only TO have grown
SWeeter and broader ANA more mellow
with the passing of the years; and
when in that second act upon the wa
ter front he sang to Dicky the Rat of
" mere POverty'S Tears F.bb ami
FLOW well it WAS no possible use in
trying to deceive your nrighbor. for he
also was industriously engaged in
searching for his pocket handkerchief"
