TOWN TOPICS. RAIkROAD BRIDGE BURNED
AT SANDY HOOK.

Newtown had spectacular fire, Sun. day, when the wooden railroad bridge over the Housatonic river at Sandy Hook was burned. The fire broke out about 1O.45 a. m. The fire, it is be- lieved, started from hot cinder from a freight train which passed over the bridge an hour before the fire was dis covered. In few moments the whole span was ablaze, the old wooden frame work being eaten up by the flames like shavings. The bridge was just 468 feet long. It was built about 9 years ago and was of the old deck variety, the rails being at the top with box framework below. Agent Samuel W. Lesher got into communication with Superintendent E. R. Pollock of the Highland division at once and before the fire had burned out had men at work repairing the::road leading to the railroad track on the east side of the river. By Tuesday the railroad com pany had 200 men at work on the tenn porary bridge. Agent Lesher engaged teams and personally superintended the work of transferring passengers, baggage and mail. Those furnishing double teams were w. A. Leonard, Newton Curtis, Michael Heating, Charles Hawley, Edward Taylor and Josiah TilSOn.

ST JOHNS CHURCH.
THANKSGIVING DAY.

Morning prayer and sermon at 10. 45.
 The President says: ''It is eminent ly fitting that once year our people should set apart day for praise and thanksgiving to the Giver of Good, and at the same time that they express their thankfulness for the abundant mercies received, should manfully ac- knowledge their shortcomings and pledge themselves solemnly and Tn good faith to strive to overcome them. x
 "Therefore l now set apart Thurs day, the 30th day of November, as a day of Thanksgiving for the past and prayer for the future, and on that day I ask that throughout the land the people gather in their homes and places of worship and in rendering thanks to the Most High for the man. fold blessings of the past year, con- secrate themselves to life of cleanli- ness, honor and wisdom, so that this nation may do it's allotted work on the earth in a manner worthy of those who founded it and of those who pre- served it."
 What high and noble ideal is this for us to fulfill Shall we strive to at tain it? by hallowing this honored custom of our forefathers? Or shall we simply go hunting, and visiting just to eat?-[O. O. Wright.

NEWTOWN'S ELECTION CONTEST
c. H. NORTHROP, PRESENT INCUM- BENT, ELECTED BY SEVEN VOTES.

Newtown's ballot box was opened before Judge George w. Wheeler in the Superior court, Monday morning, to determine whether Charles H. l N rthrOp, democrat, or Levi c. Morris, republican, was legally elected treas. urer and agent of the town deposit fund on October 2.
 l At that time MT Northrop was de. clared elected by 276 votes, to Morris 269. The latter, however, contested l the election upon the ground that II votes for him were rejected by the | moderator because the envelopes con. tained besides the town ballots, votes upon free text books and upon the constitutional amendments.
 Judge Elmore $. Banks, counsel for MT Morris, introduced number of witnesses, including Town Clerk Mi. chael J. Houlihan of Newtown. Depu ty Sheriff Charles $. Johnson, Wilson M Reynolds, postmaster and chairman o1 the republican town committee, and Charles E. Minor.
 Town Clerk M. J. Houlihan testified 1 he was town clerk October 2 and has been ever since. The ballot box was delivered into his custody at the close ot the town meeting and has been ever since; also returns of board o1 counters which were produced in court.
 Deputy Sheriff Johnson testified he was clerk of the board of counters and enclosed envelopes containing rejected ballots at request of moderator. | Wilson M. Reynolds: Was one o1 the counters. Had envelope contain, ing town ballot and town amendment ballots in my hands. Clain @ tOwr ballot should be counted, but it was rejected.
 On cross examination he testified that he was chairman of town com. mittee and present postmaster; hac charge of republican political funds and employed Judge Banks to conduct contest. Was shown one envelope ano contents by moderator after close O1 count.
 Charles E. Minor: Was counter al meeting of October and saw ballots rejected. Took ballots out of three envelopes after rejection. Found two republican and one democratic towr ballot with minor ballot in these en velopes.
 J. H. Blackman, moderator at meet ing of October 2. Did not think he ordered ballots rejected as unofficial One envelope contained text book one amendment with town ballot envelope, two amendment and one town ballot. Eight of the ballots were republican but were not counted, ano do not know as they were straight.
 A. L. Peck, uncle of c. H. Northrop testified that he voted for him with paster on republican ticket over Nor ris. The envelope contained text book ticket with town ticket.
 Judge Wheeler then ordered the bol opened and recount showed 282 votes for c. H. Northrop, the democratic nominee for town treasurer, and 27t for Levi c. Morris, the republican nominee. The Judge ordered the nint votes counted which were thrown out by Moderator Blackman, but this di( not. change the result, as errors wer, found in the original count.

WARNING TO AUTOMOBILISTS ON
 COMING TO NEWTOWN.
MIR RENNELL SETTLES.

1 The case of Levi c. Morris of New. town against Henry H. Kennel o1
 Bridgeport, which was down for trial in the Court of Common Pleas before l jury on Wednesday of this week, was not tried, MT Rennell at the last mo- | ment having decided to settle rather than take his chances with a jury.
 The trouble out of which the case arose happened on May 30 last. On F. N. Benham, Jr., left Bridgeport trout fishing trip. Just below the residence of the late Jerome Northrop they met MT Norris horse and wagon loaded with groceries, in charge or William Honan, one of his clerks. The horse became frightened at the auto mobile and ran away, Overturning the wagon with contents and emptying the whole on top of the genial clerk, who was decked out in his best suit expecting to go out of town on his re- turn to the store. The sequel to this was to have come off Wednesday in trial of the suit MT Morris b ought to recover damages, but did not for the reason above stated. It is stated that he was asked to to settle it, and that with his own expense in the matter considered it will cost him about $25O And yet this is not the end, as he will have to answer in the Criminal court next month for violating the criminal statute on three cOuntS upon which he is under $50 bonds now. Moral: Obey the automobile law or keep out of Newtown, or take the consequences.
 MT Rennell is senior at Yale uni versity and a grandson of the late snowman, P. T. Barnum. The prac- tice of the otherwise excellent Stand ard of late of ridiculing any case brought by parties in Newtown and other rural towns has awakened feel would do we'll to call it's alleged humor- iSt off.
