But for the unforeseen sickness of
 Miss Della Sterling, sister of Mrs. Ru- fus Bunnell, the party intended to 1 start yesterday for California. When the pupils arrived at the Gen.
 ter school yesterday, those who usual-
 ly occupy the two northern rooms Of
 the building found that they cannot
 be used for a week, as the new build | ing operations have not been complet-
 ed and work has had to be suspended
 on account of the severity of the
 weather.
 ''The Story of the Hudson" was the
 subject of lecture given last night,
 at Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, by Rev.
 c. S. Bullock. it being one of the Board
 of Education course.
 Town Clerk Lowell said yesterday
 that it is true he is to have charge
 of the hardware store, so long conduct
 ed by Constable Beardsley. The con-
 tract has been signed. The business
 was established many years ago by
 MT. LovelPs father, and since he died i Mrs. Lowell has retained her interest 1 in the establishment. Now that her 1 son is old enough to conduct the bus l mess, he assumes his fathers place 1 MT. and Mrs. Clinton R. Peterkin, l relatives of Mrs. Patterson and Mir. 1 David l.. Rhoades, sail today for Flu rope where they will remain for three
 months, visiting Paris, Berlin and oth- l CT capitals MT. Peterkin is interest ed in aeroplanes and holds prOmi- nent position in New York in con- nection with the industry.
 Of course there is nothing to hinder I the ringing of a curfew bell at eight o'clock every night, if one wishes to l go to that trouble, but it will have | only a sentimental significance since there is no town bylaw to that effect, and young folks can enjoy the light of 1 the moon until 10 o'clock if they wish before the night watchman comes l around.
 1 Frost fish have stopped biting. The 1 frost was biting them.
 l The unknown friends who sent bou- quets of flowers to adorn the desk of the new Town clerk, on the day he l modestly assumed office may be sure l they were much appreciated
 ] Circuit Judge William H. Sanborn who presided over the court that | found the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey guilty of violating the Sherman law, and ordered the trust dissolved, was in town a few days ago, visiting his sitter, Mrs. Dr. Vim. B. CogsweIl.
 Miss Mildred Patterson of New York is visiting Marguerite Garry. Mir. W. H. Benjamin has suffered a second stroke of paralysis. It has affected his brain to a3certain extent. Idp6IS are UciuE tilxdQGs JUL dt <Ai- bany for the chartering of the Bull lock Safety Appliances Company, which is to take the place of the Dill lock company. The capital will be
 $50,00O. The new plant is to be lo- cated in Poughkeepsie. but this will not require MT. Bullock to go to that city to live. Besides the thermostat,
 now so widely used on steamships, it
 is proposed to manufacture a signal ling burglar alarm, and an apparatus
 for emergency. lights on a vessel, when as the result of an accident, the lights are extinguished, the dynamo being Knocked out of commission. The new
 system will at. once light up the ship
 by cutting in over the same wires, from storage battery.
 It is suggested that the Methodist bell and the Episcopal bell be attached to the new local fire alarm system. Tn such case all denominations could turn out if there should really and truly, be a fire. @ The Stove club is still talking about the benefits which will accrue to the town if next spring a trolley track ! is actually laid in Barnum avenue. All agree that it will be an excellent thing, and help to build up that part of the l town. Property will rise on Long Brook avenue. Patterson avenue, Lazy Bank, and Tea Party lane Then the ! good folks who live around Paradise Green can get to Bridgeport without going to Hard'S corner But it is feared this new avenue of communities tion with Bridgeport will hurt trade between Tanners Brook bridge and the railroad bridge which crosses Main street
 There are not wanting evidences to show that a fish market is soon to be opened in town, near the Russell build ing. This will fill a long felt want. A new lodge is to be organized in town called the Patriotic Sons of America. It is stated that William E1ine is getting it up.
