 New Bridge Up Over Night
 The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad completed the re- placement of the old bridge on the Berlin division near keefe's cross ing below East Berlin depot, this morning about 1 o'clock. A force of about 50 men began the work at o'clock yesterday morning and ceased their work after 2l hours of fatiguinG effort.
 The preliminary work of remodel ing the piers has been underway for several weeks. This work consisted in lowering the seats for the under Slung bridge. A 50 ton steam hoist was used in lifting the immense 25 ton spans into place and removing the old "rans, Structural steel workers and track men worked in cessantly to put the span rails and ties into place. Owing to the great weight Of the new spans which were larger than those previously in use it was necessary to use a gallows frame in the center of the girder with q hoise pulling at one end and a locomotive at the other end. The spans averaged 70 feet In length each. thrce spans being used for the entire bridge. with a total length Of more than 12O feet. The spans had previously been assembled in Penn sylvania.
 The replacement of the old bridge was necessary due to the larger sig ed locomotives now being used in the freight service on the Berlin branch. The old bridge and trestle farther down the line near the Noiseless plant is being replaced for the same reasons. This is the old Howe type of trestle claimed 10 have been built in the Civil War period. This trestle. which was completely enclosed with sides and roof which resembled a barn. is the last of this type in Connecticut to be to. h down. It has long been con- unsuitable for the present day type of heavy locomotive and is giving way to the new order of things.

Griswold in the Berlin town court which, for the in formation of ,hose who may be caught, is located each Tuesday eve ming at 7:30 o'clock, and sometimes oftcner, in the town hall.
 So far few instances of celebrat- ing have been reported. Several children have been entertaining themselves with fireworks. but par cnts are warned against allowing the youngsters to engage in this practice until the day for it arrives. Although July falls on Sunday and this would seem the logical time for celebrating, the fact that it is the Sabbath naturally holds the observance of the day over until Monday. Those caught dischargng fireworks on Sunday will be regard ed RS premature celebrators.
