The Treasurer of Peck Brothers & Co. the Honored Oueat cordial Greet ings Between Employers and Km ployed. Last evening a complimentary banquet given by the employes of Peck Brothers & Co. to John M. Peck, treasurer of this exten sive manufacturing concern, was enjoyed in the parlors of Downes' City Hall dining rooms. Before proceeding to the banqnet the employes proceeded to the residence of the treasurer at No. 263 Crown street and presented him with a very handsome French clock purchased at Kirby's, a very handsome steel engraving and a handsome picture in water colors. The clock was presented by Aquilla Moore, superintendent of the company, on behalf of the employes. Mr. Moore in makimr the presentation spoke in substance as follows: Men will make mistakes and I 'think these men have made a very serious one to-night in choosingyour humble servant to make the presentation speech. Gift giving and gift taking are not at all to my taste, and were that the only mainspring and motive, I would not appear before you to-night. But down deep in our hearts there is a feeling that 1 cannot describe, nor will 1 attempt it, A feeling that needs some way to make itself known, and so a resort is had to giving You know the Bible says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," so you see we have taken the advantage of you there. JUt l in terpret the feelings of these men aright it is not the intrinsic value of the article to be presented that they wish yon to look at, but we wanted the opportunity to let you know in some tangible form the respect ana es teem of those who have served under you these many years, and how we have learned to love and respect you for your sterling wortn in all onr Dusiness ana social relations with you. And so you see us here to-night and know by this for what purpose. We ask you, then, to accept this timepiece as a small token of our regard for you and yours; and as its pointers reveal to you the ever-flying moments, you can rememoer man you, Bir, have so many friends that are your well wishers for time and eternity. And we not only wish that you may reach in health and strength your fortv-ntth birtnaay, dm rorty- five twice told. With these few remarks I will leave the rest to more competent hands, Mr. A. T. Foster, of New York city, vice president of the company, then presented the engraving as his own offering of esteem for bis brother officer, and the painting he presented in the name of the omce employes of the New York warehouse. Mr. Foster's remarks were brief, but to the point. He expressed the high regard and esteem in which Mr. Peck was held by every member of the company. The presents were a complete surprise to the recipient, bnt he rallied and feelingly returned thanks to the donors. He referred to the good feeling that had ever existed between the employers and the employed, and said that he had no doubt that the same good feeling would continue as the years rolled on. In conclusion he thanked the generous donors and assured them that he should ever cherish their beautiful gifts and the good feeling that prompted them even to the end of life. The company, numbering about thirty- three, proceeded to the banquet hall and at 8:30 took Beats at the table. The supper was an elegant one gotten tip in Downes' best style as will be Been by the following MENU. Blue Points, Half Shell. Moore' Self -Closing. Bonp. Ox Tail. S. O. T. Fish. Boiled Salmon Trout.

After the banquet came the "feast of rea son and the flow of soul." First was a song by the company under the leadership of Pro- tessor B. Jepeon, "sweet sye and JJye." The first regular toast was "Our Country," to which Andrew Gold responded. He said he did not propose to make an apology to start with. I had understood, said the speaker, that I was to have a roving commission in speaking. I am dSwn, however, to speak for "OurUountry."Well,l am an .adopted citizen. but I have been here long enough to say our eountry. It was ours by divine right. If there was ever a dispensation or Divine Prov idence it was when the people of this' nation gained their independence. Reterring to the Pilgrims he said they had a cast iron creed, but they needed one. The country has gone on step by step until it has become great and glorious The foundation of our thrift and progress is that it is founded on true principles and is a responsible government, such as no other country can boast of. I was taught in the colony when I was born to thank God for the principles embodied in the Declaration of Indepen dence. Those principles were not new, how ever; they are as old as the world. I believe those words, "every man was born tree and equal," were inspired, as much as the words that came ' to Moses on Mount Sinai. In conclusion the speaker referred to the wickedness of rebellion and slavery and predicted a glori ous and happy future for our great and glor ious country. On the conclusion of Mr. Gold's speech the company sang "America." Henry F. Peck, president of the company, was the next speaker. The speaker said "We have met here for a pleasant purpose." He referred to the past and nls recollections of boyhood days, his remembrance of his brother's early days. The remarks caused a great deal of merriment in the company. espe cially that portion of them relating to his brother John's youthful tricks. He said that his brother was not the Quaker in his youthful days that he now appeared by any means. After a song by W. B. Hubbard, "The day we celebrate" was announced as the next toast. U. il. Downes was called out and re plied in a most pleasant manner. He referred to the early life of Mr. Peck and bis advance step by step through years of trial until he reached his present position, the treasurer of one of the most important in dustries of our city and State. In closing Mr. Downs paid the following tribute to the guest of the evening: "We congratulate him to-night on his business success and upon the fact that he had the full confidence of those associated with him. For forty-five years he has traveled the rough road of life safely; no stain rests upon him either in business or social lire, and as we shake his hand to-night with hearty congrat ulation our prayer is that the sun which has so long shone so brightly upon him may never be clouded, but that the past forty-five years may only be an evidence and a proph ecy that the next forty-five years will be the same." Mr. John M. Peck was called upon to re ply. He said he had been thinking why his birthday should be thus celebrated, but he was glad that his friends had placed so much confidence in him, and this confidence he hoped he would continue to hold through the years to come that ne may oe associated with the company. The next toast, "Success to the firm," was responded to by H. M. Sanford. He referred to the history of the company from its small beginnings to its present large proportions which he said had come through honest and square dealing, not only with the employes, but also with those with whom they had had business dealings. In closing he pre dicted a still greater advancement and ex pansion of the business of the company. A song by a quartette of the workmen followed. Then came an able address by James Totham in response to the toast "Our relations." The address showed very con clusively the good feeling that existed be tween employers and employes. A song by Professor Jepson was next in order, and then followed another address by J. H. Taylor, tie replied very Deautiiuuy to the toast, "f langes, nuts ana uu pipes. Mr. Downes was again called out and after a few descriptive remarks presented Treasurer Peok with a beautiful volume of Holland and its People, the gift of O. D. Peck, of Chicago, a brother of the recipient. Mr. Peck again expressed his heartfelt thanks through Mr. Downes to the oonor. Song "Farewell My Own True Love" was next rendered as a duet in line style. . There is one thing that may be said with truth in regard to this very pleasant gatner-irnr- The employes, who were an intelligent looking body of men, seemed to be on the most friendly terms with their employers. There was an air of sociability that seemed to prevail between them that was indeed marked. 'Our TjirKen" was the closing sentiment. which was responded to by Willard H. Hub' Dard in a pleasant manner. Then followed reminiscences by Vice Pres ident Foster, who paid a glowing tribute to Treasurer Peck. He referred to the early struggles of his company and its present suo cess, and said that to no one was more credit- due than to John M. Peck. In dosing he hoped that each recurring birthday would be pleasanter than the last. - WEST HAVEN. The Wreck ot Kelsey'e Wharf A Place Notable In the Annals of the Bor ough. The damage to Kelsey's wharf and its gen eral condition is such as to preclude the idea of its being repaired. It served a useful puipose in its day, and when first built the steamer Isaac C. Smith and afterward the steamer George E. Kelsey, now in Florida waters, made regular trips between this city and West Haven, making their outward landing at this dock. It was also useful as a landing place f ot steamers bringing excursion parties to the Bock, although the shifting sand bars rendered the depth of water at the landing place variable. The wharf served a useful purpose to the occupants of summer residences at the shore for a promenade walk in the cool of the summer evenings, and it was also a capital place from whence to snatch out the voracious little bluefish from the blue waters by means of pole, hook and line. The outer portion of the wreck is separated from the inner portion by a huge gap. attesting the mighty power of the wind. waves and floating ice. The summer pagoda of ex-Chief of Police Allen now makes the end of the inner portion of the dock. The building rests upon a huge number of spiles. so numerous and finely imbedded in the solid bottom as to be able to resist complete ly the late onslaught of the elements. Fair Haven. The twenty-third annual ball of Qninnipiac Engine company, of Fair Haven, will be held next Tuesday evening, February 24th, at the new skating rink just finished on Grand street.

An effort is to be made to get Judge Dem ing, of Fair Haven, to deliver his lecture, "Around the World," in Derby, Prof. Steele, with stereopticon, accompanying it. The remains of Mrs. L. C. Evarts, of this oily, were buried in the family lot at Madi son yesterday afternoon. The services were held at the residence of Mrs. Bishop on Blatchley avenue. The Hemingway ice houses are full of fif teen inch ice. Mr. B. F. Stewart, aged about ninety years, is quite ill at his home on Exchange street. Mrs. Edward Horton, of Exchange street, is quite low with pneumonia. Mrs. Meigs, wife of Patrolman Meigs of Woolsey street, is quite ill. THE COURT RECORD.

David Beecher, ef Shelton, aged eighty- two whose funeral took place on Monday from St. James' Episcopal church, formerly owned the property now owned by the South End Land company of Shelton. In 1877 his fine residence, located on the site where the new house of A. B. Smith is now being erected, and his large barns where W. J. Miller's residence is being built, were consumed by fire by the hands of an incendiary. Mr. Beecher was at the time very much cast down by his misfortune and the blow ap peared to hasten the breaking down of his strong constitution. In his later years he became very deaf and conversation with him was nearly an impossibility. His wife, who survives him, has for a long time been con fined to the house from the effects of a par alytic attack. One daughter, Mrs. H. C. Wells, lives in New Haven, and another, Mrs. Morrison Hull, in Birmingham. The only son, David T., resides at the present homestead. President Arthur's Sister. From a Washington Letter. Mrs.- McElroy, President Arthur's sister, has shown justice and good nature in speak ing of Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Cleveland, sisters of the President-elect. She always give8 them kind and womanly praise, with no air of mental reservation, and says that Miss Cleveland is clever and attractive, and is the possessor of much tact and administrative ability. Mrs. McElroy will retire to her be loved home life with the good will of all who have met her here. While her influence in her brother's household has been passive rather than active, her mere presence has crystallized its fragmentary elements into something very like family life and stopped the machinations and intrigues of ambitious women. Each year one of her daughters either accompanies or precedes her to Wash ington. Until this season it nas oeen May, the eldest, now in her twentieth year. Be cently she has become engaged to be married to an Albany gentleman every way accepta ble to her parents, and the White House has no charms to lure her away from her new found happiness. She has begged to be al lowed to stay with4ier father, and so Jessie, the second daughter,' who came on early in the fall and is in a private school here with her cousin Nelly, will probably remain till spring. Mrs. MoElroy said recently to a friend:. "I thank God on my knees every day that I was born, neither rich nor great. I have taken ud the duties assigned me here by Providence and done the best I could, bnt I shall go back to my home with a feeling of joy that I am at liberty to remain with my husband and children. There is a great deal in a household like' this that goes against my life-long habits oi economy, :but I cannot harass my brother by criticising what may not meet my views. If X see an extensive system of waste on the part of the servants, I shut my eyes or look the other way."

Hadley lectured before a very large audience in North Sheffield hall last evening. His subject was "The Present Commercial Crisis." His lecture was highly entertaining and profusely illustrated by diagrams. He showed that the country had gained in wealth for the last fifty years and during that time a commercial crisis oc curred at intervals of about ten years. He then defined a crisis, which was, according to his theory, a rise followed by a depression. There are three theories advanced for the ex planation of a crisis: First cycles, second uanic and third overproduction. He ex plained what was meant by these three theo ries and said that it was impossible for any one of them alone to bring on a crisis, . but that the combination of the three theories was what is necessary. He went on farther to show that when the country is in state of prosperity railroad building goes on with great activity and that only about one-third of the railroads thns built are of actual service, the second third are only of benefit for future use and the remaining third ought not to be built at all, for they are purposely built for another road to buy them out and thus put money into the pock ets of a few scheming men. The way such railroads are built, said he. is that a Bet of men get together and induoe people to buy stock in the proposed railroad and receive about $1,WU,WU for their stock wnen per haps only $600,000 is needed for building, and these men as directors of the road make contracts with -themselves - builders of the road at enormous profits to themselves and the stockholders are fleeced of their money. What is the mor al to be derived from these facts? First, it is impossible to prevent a crisis by acts of legislation, because it is impossible to dehne between speculation and honest business; second, the temper of the community would not support such a law, and the only law for the concession of the people would be to edu cate them to that height, so that-their moral sentiment will condemn such transactions. Printing- the Tear Booh. The Committee on Annual Reports last night ordered six hundred and fifty copies of the city Year Book printed, five hundred in cloth and one hundred and fifty in morocco. The book will be similar to that of last year. Printers will be notified to submit bids for the contract of printing. A $2,500 Bath House. The Bath House committee met last even ing at City Hall and appointed Alderman Defrees and Councilmen Earle and Tuttle a committee to confer with City Engineer Hill n regard to the plans for the new bath house in Fair Haven. The bath house will cost $2,500, and will be located at the foot of Lewis' bridge. The Bluee Fifty-Seventh Annual Re ceptlon.
