States Was acknowledged for the first
the ancient charter was relm-

Prize Fight.
By the light of a few flickering lan-
terns which lit up the deep shadows of
Hough’s grove near Yellow Mill bridge
there was fought, early yesterday morn-
ing, a savage prize fight With bare fists,
between Dennis Burns, of Howestreet,
this city, and a man from Waterbur
were fought and each time the men
'came to .the scratch. As‘ time was
called at the opening of the’ seventh
round, Burns did not come forward.
The’referee decided the fight in favor
of the Waterbury man.
The decision caused a general row
among the spectators present, in which
the referee wasbadly punished. There
will be another match.
The fi ht came about through a man
named Williams, who was worsted by
the Waterbury man, and he _matched
Burns against Dailey.——Bridgeport.

At the Consolidated freight depot
,there' is a big iron wheel on which is coil-
ed the.wire that acts in connection with
the signal tower near Rowayton. This
morning freight agent Fred. Raymond
took hold of the wheel and was knock-
ed over as if struck by a locomotive go-
ing at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
It'is thought that the wire had become
crossed with a telegraph. Mr. Ray—
mond is of the opinion, though, that
the wire had'been connected With a dy-
namo at Edison’s laboratory. He ar-
rives at this conclusion from the shock
he received. Moral—Don’t fool with
electric wires, but if you must, don’t
do it on a wet day. , '

W. B. Hall & Co.,.the dry goodsmen
of Bridgeport, are giving. special bar-
gains in their two back buildings while
extenswe improvements are going on
in their frOnt store. The Morning News
of the 14th speaks thus of their Cannon
street entrance‘:-“Since W. B. Hall &
Co. opened a side door, rear entrance
on Cannon street, it’s wonderful what a
stream of callers they have had. The
proverblal ‘side door’ evidently has its
fascmations, and the search for bargains
in fmixed’ stocks remains unslacked,
though this great price-cutting house
are still doing their best to meet all de-
mands. It is doubtful that no other
dry goods house in this county could
have met such an avalanche of custom-
ers from Port Jefferson to Great Bar-
rington, supplied their every want and
continued business right along at the
old stand, Without 'extensive;replenish—
ing of -stoc_ks.-- ,;Tl_iat.the last vestige of
accumulated etocks-may disappear ef-
fectuall before there-opening, W. B.
_Hall_& 0. aremakingtjthe reductions
such that patrons of the ‘side door’ will
go _away thoroughly intoxicated with
delight over. their purchases. The sur-
plus of dress goods, corsets, underwear,
notions, etc., is disappearing like dew-
drops before the rising sun.”
The peach festival, and entertainment
to be held at Broad River chapel _next

interest. A programme. of attractive
