 There was some discussion around Fair Haven yesterday as to whether a slight tremor of an earthquake shock was felt here early Thursday morning. Several people report that about 2:3O o'clock a slight tremor was felt, and this was the same hour that quake was felt at Schenectady, IN. Y. If it was felt in New York state it would not be st all surprising if it was felt here. Those whose attention was at- tracted by the tremor, are pretty sure ! 1t proceeded from an earthquake. Over twenty years ago, it will be re- membered, that there was quite se- were shake here, as well as in other parts of New England, sufficient to l jar houses and rattle movable articles and crockery and several months ago when the powder explosion occurred, 1 at Bridgeport, some felt quite sure at that time that it was an earthquake.

 Twenty-Five years ago the town of East Haven issued $100O00 in bridge bonds. This was to take up an indebt- edness contracted in building the Quin- nipiac drawbridge. When the bridge was built the territory on the east side belonged to East Haven and when annexation took place these bonds were assumed by the town of New Haven. It is doubtful if East Haven would have agreed to part with this territory at that time, but for the fact that it had big debt in propor- ticn to its size and population. An nexation was discussed pro and con for months. and there were important hearings at Hartford. Some of the East Haven people opposed the plan zealously, but were defeated.
