Our Bridgeport Letter.

Rev. B. Fay Mills, the evangelist, is
doing a great work here Meetings have
been held every day for the past week.
In the morning a business men’s meeting
has been held in the North Church chapel
at 9 o’clock. In the afternoon at 3 o’clock
and in the evening at 7.30 in the First
Methodist church. These services ’have
all been fully attended and a great deal of
interest has been manifested in the con-
version of souls to Christ. Mr. Mills is
not a revivalist of the sensational or emo-
tional kind. He preaches “Jesus Christ
and Him Crueified," iii a simple and
earnest mariner. Mr. Mills is about 30
years of age, and during his four years of
evangelistic work, it is said that 30,000
MW been converted under his preaching.
The meetings will be continued this week
in the South Congregational church, and
perhaps longer. At the meeting in the
South Church last evening, it was stated
that over 600 had been converted in the
past week. The meeting was one of
unusual interest, the church being filled
to overflowing.

William Carroll, of Birmingham, was
drowned yesterday at Washington Bridge,
near this city. He and three other com-
panions were sailing, when the boat cap-
sized and all were rescued excepting Mr.
Carroll. He leaves a wife and tin: little
children to mourn his loss.

Rev. Dr. Alexander Thompson has been
engaged to deliver the memorial address
in this city on Memorial Day. Mr.
Thompsongis an eloquent speaker and was
formerly pastor of the South Church.

W. B. Hall 61: Co. and the D. M. Read
Co. are both enlarging their borders.
Mr. Read has taken an additional store in
the Wheeler Building adjoining his pres-
ent store, and Hall & Co. will occupy the
buildings to be erected in the rear of
their present store, which will give them
a great deal of additional room. There is
no rivalry between these firms, as they
are often seen walking on our streets,
arm in arm. These gentlemen were for-
merly clerks for Ezekiel Birdsey, and
they have always been the best of friends
from that time on.

Cards of invitation have been issued to
the wedding of Miss Jennie E. Garner,
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. V. Gar-
ner, and Mr. Herbert Birdseye, Thursday,
May 15th, at the First Baptist church, at
.30 p. m.

The Rev. Win. Richardson, of Norwalk,
preached two excellent sermons, Sunday,
in St. John’s church, this city. He re-
sembles the Rev. Beverly E. Warner, of
Christ church, very much, and made a
very favorable impression with the St.
John’s church people.

Mr. J. L. Harlem, formerly of your
place, lies very sick at his residence on'
Faiilleld aVenne. No one is allowed to
see him, outside of his family, but his
physician.

Rev. Milledge Walker, of St. Paul’s
church, East Bridgeport, has received a
unanimous call from St. Paul’s church,
of Newark, N. J. He has not decided
whether he will accept or not, but has the
matter under consideration. His pCOple
here aie very much endeared to him.

The sudden death of the lad, Eugene
Burton, who was fatally injured in the
collision on the Housatonic Railroad, in
Danbury, has cast a gloom over his young
friends in this City. He was formerly one
of the Evening Post’s newsboys of this
city. The newsboys attended his funeral
in a body, which took place at his parent’s
residence, 27 George street, this city, on
\Vediiesday last. Rev. “(111. Brown, pas-
tor of the North Main street Metliodlst
church, officiated. The newsboys sent
some beautiful flowers, among them being
a broken column, bearing the inscription
“One of us,” also “Gates ajar.”

Hon. P. T. Barnum is occupying his
beautiful house at Sea Side Park. Mrs.
Barnum wdl arrive from Europe about
June lst, she having prolonged her visit
in England. Mr. Barnum is in splendid
health, and his 80 years of age does not
seem to tell on him. Mr. Barnum is a
WOndei'ful man, and long may he live to
enjoy the fruits of his labor.

The question was asked many times on
Sunday, why work on the hall grounds
was allowed, while barbei's, news and
peanut. venders and others were prohib-

ited. It W’s a very pertinent question.

The niariiage of Miss Harriet Ruth
Kirby, of New Haven, and Joseph Liv-
ingston Jennings, of South Nor-walk, is

future.

Local newspapers will need to be vigi-
lant. Circulars are received offering the
Union Signal and another paper of Chi-
cago, for 85 cents per annum. Some
think them dear at any price.

Painting, grading and changing has
been the order of the day around many of
the city houses, but none more decided or
more nearly obliterating the former at-
tractions, than that of the former residence
of H. H. Ewell, on High street.

NEWCANAAJV-

The first annual borough meeting was
held on Monday afternoon of last week.
The attendance was small owing to the
fact that the meeting was held in the
afternoon when everybody was busily
engaged. The report disclosed the fact
that progress had been made along prudent
and conservative lines. The greatest
improvement has been the setting up of
nearly a hundred lamps which are reg-
ularlylighted, and the employment of a
vigilant night watchman. During the
ensuing year sidewalks will be looked
after more thoroughly, and other needed
improvements so far as is practicable will
be secured. The tax of three mills is now
being collected, and no better endorsement
of the borough or of its officers could be
giVen than the fact that for the most part
the tax is paid cheerfully.

Anew “Champion” road machine has
been purchased forthe purpose of keeping
our fine roads up to par.

ing on Death and the Judgment, are

awaiting the conclusion of repairs on the

Black Snakes Galore.

The peOpIe of Packer ville and its vicinity
have been greatly annoyed by black snakes,
the country being overrun with them. A
short time ago Chas. Harris killed eighty
in a week, John Frink, of Stirling, forty,
and Lewis Frink, of North Stirling, a sim-
ilar number. The total length of these
snakes. with due allowance for exaggera-
tion, was 174 feel. Albert Brewster, of
Stirling, captured lwo black snakes five
feet, seven inches long. Chas. Lewis and
“’altcr Fisk, of Killingly, have caught 200
of the reptiles. Chas. Tyler, of Moosup,
caught one near the railroad ten feet long.
There seems to be no abatement of the
nuisance, though scores of them are con-
stantly being captured.
