Bridge Repairing.
The Cross street bridge is closed to
teams to-day. Builder Hubbell and
Mayor Rody McGinnis are tearing up
the worn out planks an putting down
new and heavier ones 11 their places.
The job will probably be finished to-day
and the bridge again open to public use.
All are Satisfied.
The endineers of the Consolidated
road are happy. The letter of Chief
Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Loco-
motive Engineers, has had a pleasing
efi'ect. The engineers formerly ran six
trips in three days, two trips 9. day.
Now they run one trip every day for
six days, making the same number of
trips as formerly. ‘Formerly the engi-
neers received only 35: cents beyond the
one hundred mile limit; now they re
ceive four cents. The company is sat-
isfied with the men and the men are
now satisfied with the pay.
f
Naval Constructors.
Norwalk is developing a remarkable
boat building talent among its youths.
Masters Willard Comstock, Harry
Beers, Carl Vogel, Herbert. Graham,
LouisFau-ntleroy and NathanHunter,
have" each constructed for themselves
with their own hands, shell canoes con-
sisting of a suitable frame over which
is stretched canvas that is so thorough-
ly painted as to be impervious to water.
These boats are stated to be very neat
and light and extra fine specimens of
marine, architectural and mechanical
skill, most creditable to the boys who
built them.

That Pension Swindler.
Evidently the same pension swindler
who has been workin Bridgeport,New
Haven and Hartfor , is now in Nor-
walk. Yesterday afternoon he got 33
out of widow Jane Gilmore on the
same old pretense that he was a son of
Commissioner of Pensions Baum, and
that for this small fee he would get her
pension increased, when she is receiv-
ing the full allowance of the law
already. He also pretends to be ac.
quainted with Judge Perry and other
local pension attorneys, all of which is
a fraud. Look out for the rascal.

There is a movement on foot among
the branches of Foresters to have the
association adopt a resolution whereby
traveling Foresters can be afforded
help from the various courts of the or-
der throughout the country. This good
fellowship exists in most every orderin
the world, and it is also in vogue With
the Foresters in England and Ireland.
In the United States it has been over-
looked and possibly neglected. Some
of the members are now becoming in-
terested and are working hard to have
a system adopted to assist traveling
Foresters in distress.

A Fire-Almost.
The fire bell sounded an alarm a few
minutes before four a.m. Wednesday,all
caused by a frolicsome cat. Sam. Brun-
dage, who occupies one of the Quintard
‘cottages on Quintard Place, got up to
make a fire, and eat his kerosene lamp
in a chair. Instantly a miller began to
gyrate about the flame, and about the
same instant his tabby made a spring
for the miller and upset the lampwhich
sent the ignited 011 ”about the floor.
For a few moments things looked seri-
ous, but by the quick use of a few pails
of water and b smothering the flames
only a little amage was done, and
when the fire laddies arrived all was
over.

Letter carrier George Nickerson’s
house. on Spring Hill, was struck bv
lightning Sunday evening. The fluid
first communicated with a wire clothes
line and followed it to where it was at-
tached to the house, tearing off the aid
ing, and entering the kitchen tore the
lath and plaster off and then shot across
the room to a window and went through
one of the panes and outside, making
as clean a cut hole in the lass as if
done Witha diamond. Mr. ickerson’s
little boy had just that moment moved
away from the kitchen door and was
t but a Step 01' two out of the course of
