The drummer engaged Mike Colgan to carry them to the hotel, which Mike did and was re- warded for his work with apunched ten cent piece.

Engineer Rider has a gang of men at work inside the fence fronting the Mathews place on West avenue, dig- ging a ditch 400 feet long. It is for the purpose of laying a water-pipe in place of the one laid on the avenue used to supply the place with water from a spring on the hill, back of Seymour place, the street pipe which was laid at the time the place was built having be- come clogged up or broken.

Pierce was very agreeably surprised last evening by a large circle of friends, both young and Old who assembled to help him cele- brate his birthday. Games of all kinds were indulged in until midnight when acollation was served. Both young and Old then indulged in dancing until the early morning. Mr. Pierce re- ceived some very valuable, as well as useful gifts, and all present declared a more sociable and merry event could not have been participated in. In roOm No. 9 at Mrs. McCauley’s hotel, on Water street, lies a very sick man. He being without means Mrs. McCauley has telephoned his condition to the selectmen. To your reporter, this morning, he said that his name was A. D.

Out from a knife He had attended blind school and could read quite readily, and was quite a proficient player on the organ. He quickly made friends with all he met_ It is believed that the cause of his death was an epileptic fit, to which he had for years been subject. He had lain down and a short time before his death talked to his mother and seemed in his usual health. On his arrival home to dinner the father went to the room and was shocked to find his son dead. .____<,-,___.______ SPECIAL CI TY NEWS.

Jefferson Davis held the same position during the preceding administration of Pierce.

OO——-————-— A CLERGYMAN POISONED. At a recent sociable held at Selleck’s Corners, New Canaan, the pastor, Rev. David DeFOi'est took home the cake that was left over. It proved to be poisoned and he will probably die, and three members of his family are very sick. It is supposed the poisonous in- gredient was accidentally put in. 6. Michael Donnelly was arrested by Officer Gormley, this morning, for abusing Timothy Burns, of Chapel street. Justice Mead gave him a leo- ture and dischared him. The new building over the store Of W. B. Hall & CO., the Dry Goods men of Bridgeport, does not in the least dis turb their business. Their stock this season is larger than ever. Probably no house in Connecticut equals them in their three great specialties,Fine Dress Goods, outside Garments and rich Cur- tains. The Farmer of the 25th thus speaks of their new inducements: W. B. Hall & Co. are ever on the alert for some new attraction. From now until the completion of their building they will give to every customer purchasing for cash at one time to the amount of $20 or more, one year’s subscription to the “American Queen,” Bridgeport’s monthly magazine. The firm have at this time an aggregation of bargains so that almost every family will be able to secure good values in trade and re- ceive the magazine free. In addition to the very noticeable offerings in silks, fine dress goods, rugs, and Irish point curtains, a large special sale Of ladies' and misses’ underwear, children’s long and short cloaks, hats and caps, will be held in their new department now on the first floor. The descriptive lists will appear Monday. ——OO. THE COFFINED HERO. Von Moltke’s Casket Is Seven Feet Long. A New Story About the Count. BERLIN, April 28.—The fact is generally remarked that Emperor William, Emperor. Frederick and Count von Moltke all died on a Friday. The shops Of this city are full Of photographs and busts of the dead field marshal, representing him in his usual undress uniform. - The cofl‘in, which is seven feet long, rests on six gilt lions’ claws, artistically carved. A laurel wreath and an extin- guished torch lie on the lid. The cofiii: containsan inner shell of zinc and is lined with white satin. There are five gilt hau- dles on each side. The count’s will was deposited in the Berlin court in 1887. The heir to the en- tailed estate is Mejor Wilhelm von Moltke, son of the count’s brother Adolph. The major. is married, but is childless. LONDON, April 28.—The Paris corre- spondent of The Times relates a hitherto unpublished story about Count von Moltke. During the count’s visit to the Paris exposition in 1886 with the emperor and Prince Bismarck he dined one day at St. Cloud with Emperor Napoleon, and in the talk after dinner Napoleon told Marshal Randon, the minister of war, that General von Moltke claimed to be able to fight the French army with the needle gun. Mar— shal Randon laughed aloud, and in a voice which all in the room could hear re- sponded, “Pardon me, general, but in spite of the high opinion I have of your judgmentlam unable to share your be- lief.” After the departure of Emperor William, Napoleon was so struck by the words of the taciturn strategist that he busied him- self in overhauling the equipment of the French army, the result being the adop- tion of the Chassepot gun. BALMACEDA IS SCARED. Chili’s President Takes Extraordinary Precautions Against Being Poisoned. BUENos AYRES, April 28.-—Later advices from Caldera Bay, the scene of the recent engagement between the naval forces of the government and those of the insur- gents, state that iu addition to the loss of the insurgent iron clad Blanco Encalada, the monitor Huascar, which was also in the rebel service, was sunk by the explo- sion of torpedoes. After the engagement had concluded the government fleet returned unharmed to Valparaiso. The warship Florence has joined the insurgents. The statement is made that so fearful has President Bal- maceda become of attempts on his life by poison that his mother has assumed the exclusive charge of the preparation of his meals. Ferryboats in Collision. NEW YORK, April 28. -—'l‘he Pennsylvania ferryboat Chicago was struck by the ferry- boat New Jersey, Of the same line, in the North river Monday morning.
