BRIDGEPORT.

Honorable P. T. Barnum has bought
the Baptist Church property situated
on State street, opposite the court
house for $55,000. The church will 'be
razed to the ground and a new brick
block will be erected in its place. Mr.
Barnum is feeling very much improved
in health, although somewhat. feeble,
but is vigorous enough to make large
deals in real estate. ’

Bridgeport’s Grand List for 1890 is a
little over $24,000,000, and the increase
over last year is about $2,000,000,

The death of Mr. Frederick \V. Par—
rot on Saturday last of apoplexy, was a
shock to the community. He was down
four as usual transactingbusiness dur-
221$ the day, and on returning home
alibul two o‘clock he dropped dead.
Mr. Parrot was 87 years old and was
one of our oldest and much esteemed
citizens, and was the father of Mr.
Henry B. Parrot, President of the Par-
allel road. His funeral took place on
Monday from his late residence on
Washington avenue, Rev. Charles Bay
Palmer D. D., pastor of the North
Congregational Church officiating. In-
terment at Mountain Grove Cemetery.

At the last quarterly report of the Y.
M. C. A. 135 new members have been
received into the association, and 75
new members received into the Ladies
Auxiliary, and 162 men in the education-
al classes, mechanical drawing, vocal
music, penmanship and bookkeeping.
One hundred and twentystwo requests
for prayers from young men and a
large number of these have become
church members. This association is
doing great work. The association
numbers about 800.

A pretty home wedding took place on
Tuesday evening, at the residence -of
the bride’s parents, 43 Maple street,
when Miss Georgia A. daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. L. L. Bose, and Mr. James
C. Bracken, were united in marriage
by the Bev.\V. V. Garner, pastor of
the First Baptist Church. The bride
is one of the handsomest young ladies
in our city. She was attired in a gown
of white brocaded silk. The groom is
a member of a well known firm of
dry goods merchants of this city. The
presents were numerous and valuable,
including a silver service and other
useful articles, also checks for liberal
amounts from the parents of; the bride
and groom. The bride and groom
left on the evening train for New
York and Washington. On their re-
turn they will reside on Black Rock
avenue. -

Bev. Dr. Talmage delivered a lec-
ture in Proctor’s Opera House last
evening. Subject, “School of Sean-
Thc lecture was for the interest
of the Y. M. C. A. and was very largely

attended,
The Rev. Henry C. Potter, D. D.,
L.L.D., preached in St. John’s

Church last evening. This church has
no settled pastor.

A pretty little play, performed by
home talent, entitled “The Garroters,”
was held at "the Gaillard” on State
street, on Saturday evening, before a
large and appreciative audience. The
performers were Mrs. Melville E. Hall,
i‘eliss Mamie L. Bishop, Miss Grace D.
L'larke, Miss May H. Morgan, Mr. W.
C. Brown, Mr. ‘M. E. Hall, Mr J. B.
Gaylord, Mr. F. M. Bolande and Mr.
W. ll. Clarke. Music between the acts
was furnished by the company’s or-
chestra under the direction of F. Ful—
ler. Entertaining recitations were
given by Miss Linda Bishop, Mr. E.
r. Hallen and Mr. H. L. Urters, and
Messrs. Jerome May and Oscar Her-
bert in banjo. It will be notiCed that
Mr. F. \V. Bolande, city editor of the
Standard, was one of the participants in
this pretty little play and acquitted him-
self very handsomely in his new role.

The new sight for the Baptist Church
location is situated on the corner of
Washington avenue and West street.
It is said they expect to build anew
church in the early spring.

The grandest concert ever given in
this city, was held Tuesday evening,
by the Choral Society, in the
Fail-field M. E. Church, under the
leadership of Mr. S. S. Sanford. The
solos of Mrs. Lovelle of Boston and Mr.
Trostwyk of New York received par-
ticular attention, as they are both beau-
tiful singers. The singing by the
chorus was the best ever heard in this
city, and showed careful training. The
church was‘crowded to its utmost capa-
city and all felt that they had enjoyed
a great musical treat.

Complaint has been made to Select-
man Craw that the horse recently kill-
ed at Keyser’s Island remains unbur-
ied. The horse was ordered shot be-
cause glandered. The officer received
his fee for the shooting, but nothing
for burial expenses. Those competent
to know say the officer will have to
bury the animal and look to the owner
for his pay, with little or no likelihood
of getting it. He avers that the next
horse he shoots won’t be shot unless
burial fees are paid in advance. This
is the animal that was shot and left for
dead, but afterward got up and stag-
ge:ed 8. )out, and was put out of his
111 sci-y by a humanitarian who chanced
to see its condition. ' In the light of
this fact it is not at all improbable that
the lack of “funeral expenses” saved
the poor brute from being buried alive.
