THEY WANT A BRIDGE.
PROPERTY. ONNEns ASK FOR
STRUCTURE OVER oPEQUoN.
County Court Defers Action Until a
More Auspteious Ttme-Other
business.

In. the County court Gray Silver
and large number of other property
owners in the Opequon district pre-
sented a petition praying for the
erection of suitable bridge over the
0pequon creek at a point near the
Sulpher Spring ford. In the petition
it was set forth that, the creek being
the dividing line between Berkeley
and Jefferson counties, similar effort
will be made by jefferson county per-
sons interested in the project to Sc
cure the aid of the authorities there,
the expense of the structure to be
borne equally by both counties.
The members of the court received
the petition, but laid 1t aside for
future consideration. 1t is hardly
probable, that any favorable action
will be taken in the near future, mas
much ae the court has expended about
all the money in the erection of
bridges that the members will care to
lay out for some time, and the project
will be compelled to "a wait such time
asathe court can consider it wish some
degree of favor.
About a score of persons appeared
by petition or in person to secure u
correction of erroneous assessments
for taxes, which we're considered
iavorably.
One item of ~ bobbed up as an
echo of the smallpox scare here a
year ago, and was-allowed. Other
bills were passed, and the court adj
iourn ed for the day.

CARIBOU FOR COD BAIT.
Thousands Killed in Newfoundland
For This Purpose.


A little schooner, bought in st
John N. f., for the cod fishery, has
made profitable thing out of her
trip across the gulf by bringing to
Gaspe Basin a full cargo of bait.
This year the stored supply of cap
lin, squid and other sea offal is small,
and the big packing houses which
control the market are setting high,
almost prohibitive, value upon it.
To good sportsmen it seems to be
shame to kill such noble creatures as
the caribou simply for cod bait, but
that was the material the schooner
brought.
1t affords a startling idea of the
game supply of the old colony to
learn that 1000 or 5000 of these val
liable animals have been butchered in
Newfoundland i'll the last few weeks.
In one instance fishermen are said
TO have surrounded an immense
herd which visited the seashore and
TO have killed every member of it.
There were understood to have been
about 5000 in the lot.
The hides are practically worthless
in the spring. But none of the
meat will go to waste, as the cod fish
ing disposes of hundreds of tons of
bait, for which, as is already too thor
oughly known, venison answers very
well indeed.
Just now the fishing is exceptional
ly laborious because of the great
depth at which the cod are found, The
best fish are found far down-great.
large faxed. thick fiesned fellows.
They are drawn up by main strength,
but are usually dead. or nearly so, by
the time they are hauled to the sur
face, owing to the difference in the
pressure of the water.
Some of the men believe that these
great cod are of a different variety
from the smaller ones commonly
caught in shallower water. They are
not dainty feeders by any means.
Their voracity is almost incredible.
Bits of leather, marlin spikes, iron
bolts, ball of Irvine, leaden sounding
plummets, hoofs of deer are among
the curious things which, dissection
shows. some of them to have gathered

OUTLOOK FOR FRUIT.
Peaches May Fail But Large Apple
Crop Is Expected.

The prospect for peaches this year
is not promising. Some of the grow
ers contend that they were killed by
the extreme cold. The prospect for
apples is thought to be fine. The cold
weather of winter is yielding so grad
ually that many are almost convinced
that the apple crop is already safe.
1t is such be the case. Berkeley coun-
ty will have larger crop than was
ever produced III the county. The
fruit raisers should prepare themselves
to make use of the entire crop. The
choice fruit will take care OF itself,
but the unsalahle fruit demands the
most care. Thousands of dollars could
be saved by evaporating the waste
apples. and selling the parings to
factories where, thev are converted
into choice strawberry, peach and
other jellies.

 cause of death being complication of

 The funeral took place in New Milford
 at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon, at
 the home of Clarence l. Case. The
 burial was in Stafford Springs, this

 for some time succeeding the death of
 his brother. Meanwhile, he found Op-
 portunity to correspond for some of the out-of-town newspapers around the state, and later joined the repOrtO-
 rial staff of The Sentinel. AS we have already said, he was connected with The Sentinel for d period of about Is years, and was a faithful, conscientious and painstaking gatherer of the news
 His long residence here made him thoroughly we'll known to almost all of the residents in Ansonia and he was FC1y pOpuldl 0AOh& oAO A0ooOo u people. His work was of a very satiS- factory character, not only to the pa per but to the many people of Ansonia with whom he was brought in con- tact, and the incidents and experien- ces of whose lives it became his duty to report. Since MT Cases removal to New Milford the condition of his health has been followed by a large circle of inquiring friends in Ansonia, who watched with interest the chan ges as they have from time to time oc- cured. He was warmly attached to Ans0nia and eagerly deyoured all news, whether through newspaper or from friends that found it's way to him. It was long entertained desire on his part to revisit Ansonia, partic- ularly after the new Sentinel building was erected, and almost the last words he said to the editor of the Sen- tinel on leaving him. after visit one Jay during the summer were these:
