REPRESENTATIVE HILL,

REPRESENTATIvE-EL HULL.
 Arthur Johnson Hull was elected representative by a very pleasing ma JOr1ty. MT Hull is promising young lawyer of the law firm of Shannon k Hall, Bridgeport. He is a native of this town and comes of sturdy stock of the old Jetfersonian ideas and should make useful man in the Legislature of 1905. Mir Hull after leaving the public schools of this town, spent sev- eral years as teacher and afterward ne LOOK the preparatory course at Wor- ceSter academy, preparing for Brown university at Providence, of which college he is a graduate. After leav- ing college he was engaged for a num- Der of years in Massachusetts as prin- cipal of graded schools in Ware and Manchester by the Sea. Having ap- piled himself we'll in his college work, he was finely prepared as an educator and was quite successful, but having an aspiration for the profession of law and having brother a we'll known lawyer in Bridgeport, already we'll es- tabllshed in this profession, he left his school work and entered the Law school at Yale, of which he is also a course in two years. MT Hull is the son of the late Deputy Sheriff Hull and grandson ofCapt Hanford Hull, who in the earlier days of the last century was widely known as masterly build- CT, and many of the older churches, with their tall spires, and other solid buildings of Bridgeport and surround lng country still remain as monuments of his skill and thorough workmanship. MT Hull is a single man, member of the Baptist church, also of Washing ton Lodge, E: x A. M., of Monroe, and a member of the republican town com mittee.

THE DIR BROWN HOUSE AND BARN
 BURNED.
 The late pr Browns house and barn burned to the ground at 11.3O a. m., on Wednesday. The house had been closed the day before, Mrs Brown and Miss Fanny going to Danbury for the winter. It lis supposed that the fire started from the chimney in the attic or upper rooms. It burned some time before it was discovered, for when the windows were broken into and an en- trance forced, the rooms were so full of flames that little attempt could be made to get anything out. The piano and a valuable oldfashioned clock, be- sides few other small things, were saved. A telephone message reached Dr Chester Brown in time for him to take the noon train from Danbury for Washington. It is reported that the buildings were insured. Much sym pathy is expressed by the community.

BEDDING.
MRS J. A. S. BURR.

The community was shocked, last Tuesday morning, by the sad news that Mrs J. A. s. Burr was found dead in bed by her nephew. Rufus Lyon. Monday Mrs Burr had not been feel ing we'll but was about the house and during the night the family went to her several times and found her rest ing nicely. But when MT Lyon went to see her, Tuesday morning, he found her dead. Heart trouble probably was the cause of her death. She was S3 years old. The funeral was largely att tended from Christ church, Bedding Ridge, Thursday morning, at 1O.3O, Rev MT Jepson officiating. The body was taken to Oak Lawn cemetery, Fairfield, for burial. Mrs Burr leaves two sisters, Mrs Marietta Lyons, with whom she lived, and Mrs Johnson of Bridgeport. She will also be missed by host of friends.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

President Roosevelt's extraordinary victory insures republican control Of the new Congress by increased majori- ties in both branches. Little change was to be expected in the Senate, where the republicans lack now only three votes of two-thirdS ma ajority. The republicans have lost a Senate seat in Maryland, but may gain two seats in Montana and Nevada. The Senate will probably contain, after March next, 58 republicans to B democrats. In the House of Repre- sentatives the republican majority of 30 in 1902 will be increased to 60 or 70. At this writing the republicans seem to have gained eight seats in New York, New Jersey and New England, and in the Western States further gains of ten or twelve seats are already indicated. Outside the South the democrats have nowhere held the gains they made in 1902.
