Justice Brown has taken exceo.

The learned jurist will permit nc to

been the basis CT all Christian ;es.s,a-

time to be the light and guide OF
millions OF souls. A1d there Is no
subject which be treats more fully
and clearly than the question of mar

IN three OF the gospels be pro-
claims the unity OF narriage and
permits separation OF married coup
le only n the cause OF adul,ry. I
DO not see why Law which has bees

every age and country where Christi
unity dominates. should De consider
cd obsolete o: impract!cable in the
United States.
The multiplication o; divorces"
the Cardinal continued, rs largely
aser!oed by some writer's not to our
divorce laws. but to the eager aad
reckless manner n which ministers
of God osac!ate at marriage services.
But are not these persons confcund-

Deaths and Funerals.

Raymond, aged F years, the young est son of Ellen E.. and the late Will liam Delaney, died yesterday morning at the home of his mother, 164 Arch street, after an illness extending over a period of some time. The deceased had entered the local High School with the class of last year, giving unusual promise as a student. His health broke down and he was compelled to give up his studies. Under medical care he seemingly improved in health. A relapse followed and he failed grad ualIy for several months, during which time he was confined to his home. the homestead in which he was born. Death came peacefully as he slept yes terday morning. While in the High School he was much given to athletics being member of the football team and also quite prominent in Y. M c A. affairs. Before his entrance into the High School he gave signs, while still member of St. Augustine's school of making a name for himself in the athletic world. Up to his ill., ness he served as an altar boy at St Augustine's church. Besides his mother he is survived by two broth CTS, Alexander L. Delaney, city prose. cutting attorney; Fred ", employed ir i the office of the Bridgeport Gas Co. and two sisters, Agnes L.. with the D
 M. Read Co.,, and Mrs. Grace Corbet ] of New Jersey.

the town, Selectman Stacy gave some figures relating to the cost of so do- ing for Barnum avenue and Main street, and as they seemed to be very high, the whole matter was laid on the table, It was ordered that the next town report be fashioned on the same lines as the present one. The Select men were empowered to fix the south- ern boundary of land belonging to MT.
 Nearing, situated at Short Beach. The name of Broadbridge road was chang ed to Bruce avenue. It was voted to place a horse trough on Barnum ave-
 nue at an expense of not more than
 S175 A resolution to limit the debt of the town to $100, ,000 was voted down. A gentleman thought if the town must
 not go into debt beyond that sum the
 limit might prevent the building of a
 grand school house on HO1llSteT
 Heights A good deal was said about
 the equalization of the values of prop
 erty, and the new Board of Assessors
 was instructed to value all property in
 town for purposes of taxation at it's
 full market value. MT. Judson thought
 that if this is done, there will be
 plenty of money in the town treas
 ury Now the town has to borrow.
 A committee of three is to be appoint
 ed by the chair to cooperate with the assessors and they, are to receive s per diem for their labors. MT. Judson said there is great inequality in the taxation of Stratford, and that the
 small men have to pay more than their portion of the taxes; the large tax payer does not Allusion was made to the outrageous price asked by the Curtis Thompson estate for one acre of land on which to build the Hollis ter Heights school. MT. Judson would have all property put in at it's full value MT. Conine was glad the hon. orable Senator had woke up. He had been fighting for years for the very thing which MT. Judson now advo- cates, he said. The last matter touched upon was the question of car rying out the State law and requiring saloons to close at 10 o'clock p. m
 One cadaverous gentleman thought it would be too bad to deprive men of little inspiration' at precisely 1( o'clock if they happened to be taking a dinner fat a shore house. MT. Co.,
 nine and MT. Judson had kind words to say for the saloon, and although ii was opposed by Dr.. Packard, MT. Dor
 man, and others. it was. finally agreed | that they may close at Il o'clock p. m Adjourned.
