Bridgeport Birds Win.
A number Of local sports went to
Green’s Farms Tuesday to witness a
Cooking main between birds owned in
Bridgeport and Westport. The fight
took place in an old barn in the rear of
the Lewis estate, and the battle was
for $150 a side. -
A well known Norwalk sport had
charge of the Westport birds while a
Bridgeporter looked after the interest
of that city. .
The main was an exceedingly inter-
esting one and a large amount of
money changed hands on the result.
The contest was short and sweet, the
Westport birds being badly beaten in a
short time.
Another match will be arranged in
the near future.

The Jubilee Sociable.
Notwithstanding the unpleasant
weather a goodly number responded
to the invitation to be present at the
“Jubilee Sociable” held Tuesday eve’g
in the chapel of the First Congrega-
- 'tional Church. It was an occasion long
to be remembered, marking an event
in the history of the Church, which
had not occurred before in a period of
160 years, viz.: absolute freedom from
indebtedness. The chapel was made
bright and beautiful with choice
flowers, and after a time of social en-
joyment Di'. Noble in a few words
spoke of their cause for thankfulness
to God that they were now a church
free from debt. He then offered
prayer, which was followed by a selec-
tion from the choir, consisting of Miss
Fritz, Mrs. Keeler and Messrs. Force
and Main. Dr. Noble then delivered
an address in which he gave the differ-
ent amounts contributed toward liqui-
dating the debt, from his first appeal
from the pulpit up to the first of Feb.
1892, when the last of the indebted-
ness was cancelled.
Dr. Noble spoke of the assistance
which he had received in the work of
raising the necessary amount, from Mr.
J. C. Bundle, to whose faithful and un-
tiring efforts they owed a debt of grati-
tude. He then spoke of the King’s
Daughters’ share in'the work, which
was over $300 raised by t e sale of the
“Souvenir Bells,” made rom the old
church bell. and from the proceeds of
the Doll’s Fete. The burning of the
notes representing over $2,009 of in-
terest money was next in order, and
Mr. J. C. Handle was called upon to
perform this moseagreeable task. He
quickly responded and in a few mo-
ments nothing but a few ashes re-
mained from the cremation. Deacon
M. W. Starr suggested that the ashes
should be carefully» gathered and
placed in an urn and given to Dr. No-
ble “In Memoriam,” being literally
the “ashes of- the dead past.” Next
followed a selection by the Male Quar-
tette, Messrs. Force, Main, Treadwell
and Tucker,which was listened to with
much pleasure. "
The treasurer of the church, Mr.
George B. St. John, was next' called
upon to make a few remarks and re.-
sponded very-briefly. The choir again
rendered a very pleasing selection, af-
ter which Deacons Wixon and Starr
made a few well chosen remarks appro-
priate to the occasion. The next in
order was a so'lo by Miss‘ Fritz, which
was a selection of much sweetness.
Following this was a few remarks by
Mr. E. L. Boyer, (society’s treasurer,)
at the close of which a duet was sung
by Miss Fritz and Mrs. Keeler.
Last but not least was the address of
Mr: E. O. Keeler, who began his re-
_ “Scme are.
born great,'some achieve greatness and
some have greatness thrust upon them.”
As belonging to the first class be men-
tioned Dr. Noble who was a descend-
ant of an illustrious family dating back
to Revolutionary days; to the second
class as having achieved greatness he
mentioned Mr. Randle, whom .he char—
acterized as the great American church
debtraiser, and lastly, modestly allud-
mg to himself as having had greatness
thi ust upon him in being compelled to
make a speech whether he wished to
do so or not,- sayin he had no choice
in the matter. Mr. color was listened
to With, pleasure, and interest. after
. which the choir sang the closing: selec-
tion. Cake and cream were then served
and a social time enjoyed.

Freight Car Derailed-
What came near being a serious acci-
dent occurred on the railroad bridge at
Bridgeport Tuesday morning. As the
Harlem freight train bound west from
New Haven was passing the Sterling
street crossing at 9.30 o’clock, at a slow
rate of speed, the brake beam of one Of
the cars broke, throwing the forward
truck from the track. The partly de-
railed car had reached the central part
of the bridge before the train was
brought to a stop. '
A force of workmen under the super-
vision of Bridge Superintendent Fuller
immediately set to work and soon had
the damage repaired. The ties and
planking Of the bridge were considera-
bly torn.

The Trout Fishers.
The close season for trout fishing will
end on April 1, and some of the local
fishermen are already looking over their
gear and getting in readiness to fish the
brooks. Last season there Was a poor
catch. In these days when so many
streams are posted, there is but poor
show for the ordinary fisherman. Every
season the number of posted streams is
increasing and these restrictions again st
free fishing are annoying to lovers Of
the Sport. For a few dollars paid to a
farmer through whose farm a certain
stream runs, the sole right to fish the
stream may be obtained. Another fish-
erman who is, able to stock a stream and
increase the fish propagation, pays an
annual rental for the privilege and hires
men to watch the preserve. A few fish-
ermen, despairing of any fishing in this
state, take a trip to Massachusetts every
Spring ; the know Of secluded streams
butlittle fis ed. ' '
In these days a trout weighing four
ounces is considered a good fish. A few
half-pounders are hooked, but rarely.
Trout fishing is not what it ' used to
be.—N_ew Haven Register.

Geo. S. Gromman Appears Before
the U. 8. Commissioner.
The Spotter Testifies.
The case of George S. Grumman of I
this place, who was arrested and
charged with counterfeiting United
States coin appeared before United
States Commissioner William A.
Wright, in New Haven, on Saturday
for a hearing.
ThomasiT. Callighan, of “Brooklyn
was the first witness called. He testi-
fied that he was connected with the U.
S. Secret Service Treasury Depart-
ment and was sent to Norwalk, where
he arrived On the evening Of January
26. He remained but a short time and
went to. New Haven that night in com-
pan’y With Charles Marshall. At N ew
Haven he met A. W. Rose, agent for
Marshall, who informed him Of‘ the
amount of lead nickels he had collected
out of his machine at 43 Main street.
The following morning he went back
to Norwalk and again visited Grum-
man’s saloon. He remained in the
saloon some time and while there some
young men entered and went to the
phonograph and one of them dropped
something into the slot and the ma-
chine would not work. Mr. George S.
Grumman went over to the machine
and shook it. This was also done by
George Allen several times when the
machine would not work. He saw sev-
eral others try the 'machine and it,
would not work and h°e went to it and
dropped a nickel in and it worked.
_In answer to Mr. Hurlbutt, witness
said that sometimes the machine
worked when a nickel was put in and
sometimes it did not.
He left that evening and returned
following morning, the 28th, and was
in and out of the saloon all day until
evening. About 8 o’clock he was talk-
ing With George Allen when George S.
Grumman came in, Mr. Allen intro-
duced Mr. Grumman to him as his
friend. Mr. Grumman said he had
Just returned from New York,and after
a short time he asked George Allen
what kind of a tune was in the machine
and Allen said a good one. Then Mr.
Grumman said to George Allen, “Have
you any lead nickels ?” and Allen said
no, but had some at his house. Mr.
Grumman then went to the machine
and dropped as he supposed a good
nickel in and heard the music. Grum-
man came back to where. he was stand-
ing and in speaking to the bar-keeper,
Allen in my presence. we being the
only persons present, said that on his
trip to New York that day, he had
worked the weighing. candy and cigar-
ette machines with the lead nickels he
had. and they worked all right. Grum-
man. then addressed his conversation
to him and said that the boys had been
beating the machine, and the way they
did it was to take two pieces of beard,
heat a nickel and place it between the
boards and press them together, which
left the impression of the coin. They
then put the metal in and pressed the
boards together and when they came
out they had the impress of a five cent
nickel coin.
._thn questioned by Mr. Hurlbutt
Witness said that the coins looked just
the same as when he saw them, none Of
them looked like 5 cents, and he proba-
bly would not take them for good
inc ney.
In answer to Mr. Hurlbutt witness
said George Grumman did not show or
give him one Of the lead nickels.
The following evening. the 29th, he
was in the saloon and George Grum- ,
man called him over to the phonograph
and dropped into the slot 9. piece that
looked like lead and asked him to hear
the music, which he did. The follow-
mg day, the 30th, he was in the saloon
several times. In the afternoon when
he went into the saloon George Grum-
man, his brother, George Allen and a
number of others were there and he
told them that he was about to leave
town that day, and the Grumman
brothers showed him all over their es-
tablishment. On coming up stairs from
the bottling room he asked George
Grumman for some of the lead pieces
and he feitin his pockets and said he
did not have any. Grumman . then
asked George Allen for some and he
said he did not have any with him, but
had a package at home, which he went
after, but soon returned saying his
wife had thrown them away. George
Grumman, George Allen and a young
man named Brunda'ge soon after gave
him three nickels. and Grumman and
Allen promised to have asupply the
next time he came. He then went to
New York.
Charles L. Marshall, sole licensee of
the Edison Phonographs, under con-
tract with the N ewEngland Show com-
pany of Boston testified to receiving
large numbers of lead nickels from his
agents in Connecticut. In one week
there were 460 counterfeit coins and
lead slugs taken from a machine in
Grumman’s saloon. He said that the
wearing out of the cylinder and the ex-
haust of the battery in the machines
made the actual cost to him two cents
for every tune that was played, and he
could not afford to accept lead coins
for this. In answer to Mr. Hurlbutt
Witness said he was not obliged to make
good for these lead coins.
Allen W. Rose, who has charge of
the phonograph machines in the State
of Connecticut, testified to collecting
in one week from Grumman’s saloon $6
in good nickels and a lot of bad coin.
He counted the coin in the presence of
one of the Grummans, who offered to
take the lead nickels and destroy them.
Mr. Rose produced the coins in evi-
dence. .
The defense offered no evidence. At-
torney Chamberlain argued for the dis-
charge of the accused on the grounds
that the statute on which the charge was
brought did not apply to the present,
case, and that there was no law on the
stautte book at present thatcovered the
case. Another point he raised wasthat
a man cannot be prosecuted for passing
counterfeit money on himself any more
than a man can be charged with embez-
zlement if the. funds taken partly be
long to him. It was also claimed that
the imitation was not such as would de-
ceive a person of ordinary intelligence.
Commissioner Wright said he was
very much in doubt about the final conT
viction of the accused in the higher.
court on the evidence presented, but
under the circumstances he was ob ' _
to bind Grumman over under" $1,200
bonds, to appear before the U. S. court
_ in May, which were promptly furnished
by A. A. Chinery. Jr.
James L. Brundage, who- was sur-
rendered. by 'bondsman. William'De-
Klyn,was released on $1.200 bonds iven
by Charles Britto, and returned-
