Loveman a Co.'s Market Letter.

Liverpool, Manchester and London were
showered with numerous cables from New
York and New Orleans telling of the
growing crop suffering from excessive
heat. The Liverpool market closed q
points higher than yesterdays closing
Level, 9nd spots there were advanced IA
points, Sales, 5000 bales Middlings, Alb.
Apierican longs were again in control Of
affairs and succeeded in advancing the
market an additional 10 to 10 points on
new and old crop positions respectively,
July selling as high as s.53 October sold
up to SO, a new high record for the new
crop Weather in the belt was generally
clear and warm, the temperature aver
aging 81 maximum against 90 yesterday
and IS last year. Adyces from the coun-
try report some improvement in the con-
dition Of the plant as result of cultlva-
tiun and favorable fair weather. Reports
of damage frcm excessive heat appears
to be apprehensive rather than real, but
a continuance of such a temperature at
50 early in the season would probably
be very injurious to the health of the
stalk and termination of late planted
would make slow progress and the crop
would be all the more susceptible to raw
age by frcst before maturity. Mr.. Hester
made the weeks insight 13.710 bales,
last year 29,137 bales, making the total
insight to date 12421, 452 bales, compared
with 9.732, $50 bales, which makes IL pos
sible for the commercial crop to reach
13,25O,Ooo bales from actual growth of about
49, 600, 600 bales.

AN OLD ROAD LAYOUT.
COPIED FROM VOLUME OF THE NEW
 TOWN RECORDS.

TOWN RECORDS.
 The following is layout of high way toward Derby, also toward Wood- bury, and is no other than the original first road leading easterly from New town Street, crossing the Pootatuck at what is now Sandy Hook, thence turning northeasterly toward Wood bury two miles, where for the time being it stopped. The Darbee (Derby) road went southerly from the east of POOtatuck brook toward Zoar until it reached Freelove Adams 6O-acre pitch, where it left off temporarily. The first lay of these roads was 20 rods wide. This is given THE BEE think ing it may interest the boys and girls of, at least, the central part of our town. Copied from Volume l of New town Records, Page 67, by B. L. John son:
 We that are ye Comitee for to lay out highways whose names are under. written have this 18th Day of NOvem- Der, 1715, Laid out a Highway or Con- teree Road two miles from ye middle of ye Towne Down by ye north side of ye Old Farm over POhtOtuck Brook and so towards ye single Pine to a bunch of stones upon a Rock which was two miles. The Highway was twenty Rods wide according as ye Common or undivided land will allow. We moved Daniel FOOt's Southwest corner of His four acre Lott northwest six Rods and gave him seven Rods at his East Corner. Sd. Foot was present and Consented to ye same. We laiG out A Road to go to Woodbury. We began it at ye first Medow in ye above sd. Road Eastward to pOhtotuck Brook, running it more North till we come to some pines, Twenty Rods wide. We laid out Darbee Road from ye going over sd. brook by ye side of il upon ye East side ot ye Old farms til we come to path that Leads to Free. love Adamse's Sixty acre pitch, also ir that path we laid ye Road twenty rod wide Except where there is meadow.

cipal Jewell and assistant, members by the under classes of the High school. All the girls wore white and the sight was a pretty one as they were maSsed on the platform for the opening chorus.

 The only unpleasant feature of tn exercises was the fact that 150 peOpl were obliged to stand, owing to a lacl of seats. 1t is hoped Selectman Black man will remedy this trouble befor another year rolls by. The settee have gradually been wearing out, an' only enough remain to seat two-third of the hall. It is shabby and un complimentary state of affairs.

Vincent Brothers of Bridgeport, who
 formerly conducted the store in the
 B. F. Hawley stand, have settled
 their case against the New York, New
 Haven and Hartford railroad, which
 attracted attention during it's trial
 and afterwards on account of unusual
 developments, having gone through
 the Superior and Supreme courts. The
 basis of the settlement cannot be as certained, but it is believed that Vim cent Brothers have been allowed from
 S4 900 to $5, 900 by the railroad, because they secured a judgment against the latter of something like $6, 800 in the Superior court. The case, however, went to the Supreme Court of Errors
 on an appeal taken by the railroad, and the Supreme court found error, ordering hew trial. Since then the
 case has been awaiting a retrial until the attorneys got together and effected settlement. Allen B. and Samuel B. Vincent, of the firm of Vincent Broth CTS, sued the railroad for very substan- ness conducted on street, access to which was made very difficult through the erection of the railroad viaduct ln the West End. The case was long drawn out one in court and was quite a warm legal battle between
 Cantield & Judson for the plaintiffs,
 and Stoddard, Marsh & Boardman for the defendant. The former won in
 the Superior court and the latter con-
 quered in the Supreme court. Owing
 to the length of time consumed in try ing.the case and the great expense, the
 attorneys thought it best for all con-
 cerned to reach an agreement and this
 was effected on May "A. The case has now been entered "done'' on the Su- perior court docket. The Vincent Brothers are natives of Sherman.
