Better success next time, boys.

Special attention is called to the borough
try-laws, forbidding the throwing of gar-

punishable by a fine of $55 and costs, and!
the borough attorney has been directed to
strictly enforce these by-laws. Parties

Thursday evening, at the parlors of Mrs.
Tulcott B. Wakcman, the Greens Farms
Dramatic Club made its first appearance
before an audience. The play was “Es-
meralda,” Miss Grace Rclyea taking the
title cl nracter and nequitting herself with
or: dit, Mr. Alfred Bedford appearing as
Mr. Rogers, and Miss Annie IIarris as
Miss Rogers; The bthcr parts were well
smtaincd. Carchad been taken in thc
Setting of the piece, and the applause of
, a large and intelligent audience bestowed
as the play progressed was acceptor! as
more than equivalent to box office rc-
ceipts, of which there was none, the play-
crs playing for their diversion and the
entertainment of friends. In the audi-
ence were those who had heard Esmer-
alda in New York. and so well pleased
were they with this amateur effort that
they say the Greens Farms Club need not
be afraid, by and by, to appear in public.

On Tuesday the Selectmen considered
Judge D. C. Birdsall's petition for a
widening of the highway leading from
the west to Evergreen Cemetery, Messrs
John Q. Adams and Samuel Wood, prop
crty holders in interest appearing in oppo-
sition. From their views it was’ clear,
public travel or convenience did not de-
mand the change—that the passage to and
from the cemetery was, as it always has
been, equal to requirement, and it .also
cropped out that the town, even if a town
meeting was called would not be likely to
vote for widening and pay the damages.
The Judge says he shall callout the Com—
missioners if the Selectmen’s decision is
adverse.

The Shercrow district annual school
meeting was held in the school house,
Monday evening, June 4. Fifty persons
were present. The proceeding were bar.
monious and discordant in about equal
proportions. . E. A. Nash, Esq, was cho-
sen committee. It was rcfreshinglyfun-
ny to observe, especially in balloting for
officers that two men, Messrs. James IIy-
att and Rufus G. Taylor, noted fortheir
high mental attainments, though neither
have children to send to school. were run-
ning the district. Parents ay henceforth
look for great and excclcnt results in
the field of education.

The marriage of Mr. Sherwood Allen
and Miss Bertha Darrow took place in the
presence of relatives and friends at the
residence of the bride’s mother, Wednes-

ding tour through Massachusetts and New
York the couple will reside in Westport.

Mrs. R. E. Nichols had a chanticlccr
.whosc wing as it dragged on the ground
appeared to be broken. To put the fowl
out of its supposed misery she cut the
head off. While engaged in taking the
feathers from the fowl she found a sub-
stance large as ouc‘s fist and weighing a
pound hanging to the right wing. This
was submitted to Drs. Purdec of South
,Norwalk, and Hubbard of Bridgeport,
both of whom pronounced it to be a
tumor such as is sometimes seen in hu-
inan beings,and that it could have been
removed from the fowl while alive with-
out injury.

Delegates f'rcm both Episcopal Churches

The marriage of Mr. Frank Bulklcy t0

' bell made of snowballs,lincd with pansics,

the tongue being of red carnations. On
the arch was the monogram “B. K."
The organ gave thc.wedding march.
The future home of Mr. and Mrs. Bulk-

The ll’estporter-‘s item, with comments,

for digging out our river should receive
thoughtful attention. Our river and bar-

notonly that but thc"canal"thr0ugh Great
Marsh, which cost money to excavate
years ago needs attention now, as no ves-

Two Finns IN ONE Dam—Saturday, at
3 o‘clock, Mr. N. A. Kellogg's sash and
blind factory was discovered to be on fire
An alarm was given, church bells rang
and engines came with good men to arrest
the flames,but owing to the inflamable na.
turc of the building and contents, in less
than half_ an hour it was a shapelcss ruin.
The fire is believed to have started in the
drying room. Thirteen chests of tools
worth $150 each, a number of valuable
machines, all the doors and inside trim-
mings for Mr. Kellogg's new house, and
dressed lumber in many shapes were de-
strayed. Engineer Wood\ left his engine
running and its great driver continued to
revolve long after it was enveloped in
flame. Compo engine got a stream on to
a lumber storehguse south of. the factory,
and saved it. A well house of George
Gorham, and about $25 of partly finished
work were saved- The flamcs were car-

with difficulty rescued. Mr. James Allen
and Mr. Charles Hurlbuu bad to work

ing cinder was carried by the wind to the

zens did all in their power to protect prop-

be said, if all the Steamers in Connecti-

building it could not have been saved.
Total loss by the factory firecxcecds $6,-
