REV c. ]. M'ELRoY.
Derby Rector Will Go to St Angus
 tines Parish. Bridgeport.

Bishop Tierney of the Roman
 Catholic diocese of Hartford late
 yesterday afternoon appointed Rev
 Charles J. McElroy of St Mary's par
 ish, Derby, irremovable rector of St Augustine's parish, Bridgeport, and the concursus assigned for to-day at St Joseph's cathedral will not be held. Bishop Tierney made the ap- pointment under the provisions of the canons of the church which give him the power under certain condi- tions. Father McElroy will not leave his parish for two or three weeks to take up his new position. He has been at Derby fourteen years, was previously at New Milford and about twenty years ago was cur ate at St Peters in Hartford, under the late Father Frederick. He suc- ceeds the late Father Cremin.
 It is understood that the bishop had two men in view for the posi- tion, Rev Charles J. McElroy of Der by and Rev lIugh Treanor of Nor- wich, the former being first choice. One fact taken into consideration was that he was born in Bridgeport and grew up there. Father McElroy was in Hartford yesterday morning in consultation with the bishop and was at first reluctant to accept the position, preferring to remain in Derby. He has brother, layman, living in Bridgeport, and acting upon the suggestion of the bishop, he went there in the afternoon and con- suited with his brother, advising the bishop of his decision later.
 It has been known for years that there would be at some convenient period some, change in the boundar- ies of St Augustine's parish, and it is expected that an announcement to that effect will be made at an early date. St Patrick's parish was form ed from St Augustine's, and St Pe- ter's from the Sacred Heart parish. At present St Patrick's and St Pe- ter's parishes are relatively small in congregation compared with the larger parishes. Those who are best informed in the matter are confident that both will be enlarged by taking slices from St Augustine's parish. St Patrick's parish has not grown as rapidly as was expected, in fact it is stated that the deaths and removals from the parish have equaled the ad- ditions. It was expected that there would be great many Roman Cath plies settle in the parish when 1t was formed, but the high price of land has prevented it's development.

With a bundle of old umbrellas under his arm and a tinker's can, d fellow walked into the police station this afternoon and asked for a nights lodging. Addressing Major Ramon, who was at the desk, he said that the snow was binding and that he was unable to endure it no longer.

Yesterday was decidedly the hot
test day of the year, the mercury
climbing upward until 1t reached SO
degrees above zero. This was three
degrees above the maximum regis
tration Saturday The heat during
the entire day yesterday was op-
pressive, and electric fans and cold
drinks were in great demand. The
services at the different churches
were well attended, but aside from
this the people preferred to remain
indoors. AT II O'Clock the heat was
tempered by brisk breeze from the
west, but this did not continue long
enough to bring much comfort to
suffering, sweltering humanity. There
was only slight variation in the
registration of the thermometer yes
terday, the minium being "a de-
grees above zero.
