TUB SCHOOL ELECTION.
The Old Ticket Re-JBlseted It Receives
Thirteen Hundred Votes A Late Op
position Ticket.
The school election yesterday resulted in
the election of the old ticket, Messrs. Hen
ry F. Peok, M. Zunder and F. E. Har
rison being attain chosen to membership on
thtBoard of Education. It looked as if
there would be no Apposition, but during the
forenoon another ticket appeared headed
"Anti-Monopoly School Ticket,' ' bearing the
names of George A. Dickerman, Alderman
James N. States and Charles Kleiner, presi
dent of the Board of Oounoilmen. The
Dickerman name was meant for Lawyer
George L. Dickerman, chairman of the Derby
railroad investigation, and not for George A.
Dickerman, the florist, whose name was
Voted for. The latter was approached by
many yesterday who inqnired if he meant
business in running, and last evening his
greenhouse office presented somewhat the ap
pearance of a ward primary or caucus, owing
to the groups of inquirers present. Mr.
Kleiner said yesterday afternoon that he did
not authorize his name to be used and had
not been consulted.
The new ticket received but a small num
ber of votes. The return of the votes was
made at the First ward polls. The vote will
be found elsewhere on this page.
The Insurance Building.
To'the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
It apDears that after the petition and pro
test of myself and others against the sale of
the Insurance bnilding, Jndge Beardsley, on
looking it over, deemed it "as having no
place in the proceedings," to which a learned
lawyer in private life said to me that it
meant "out of time in the order of plead
ings," and consequently ordered its return,
and I received it. Very well, let it be so for
the present, because there will be a time and
a court which will revise the whole Insurance
building procedure and the proposed sale,
if a building whioh cost $300,000 of
the premium moneys of 3,000 policy
holders, in thirteen States, is feittered away
at a price which would only recognize a legal
venture. It should be remembered that the
facts and averments in said petition are
neither admitted nor denied by the receiver.
I shall not attend the sale.
B. Noym.
NATIVE PEACHES.
Superintendent Ward's Alllnptown
Orchard.
Just over on AUingtown hill in the town
of Orange is a peach orchard, the property of
Superintendent W. W. Ward of the West
Haven horse railroad. There are about three
hundred and fifty trees in the orchard, which
are loaded down with luscious fruit as
handsome as any ever seen in this market.
Mr. Ward has Commenced to gather his
peaches and expects to realize at least one
thousand bushels of peaches from his or
chard. A limb that had broken from a tree
from the weight of the fruit was on exhibi
tion in Spaulding's drug store on Church
street yesterday. There was at least a full
basket of fruit on the branch. Thev were
very large, of beautiful color, large and of
uniform size and of delicious flavor. For
the benefit of the "small boy" it may be said
that Mr. Ward keeps a close watch on his or
chard night and day to prevent thieving.
The trees are about hve years old and are
now in their prime. The question very
naturally arises if one can make peach cul
ture profitable in this section of the country,
why cannot another!
THE INSURANCE BUILDING.
The Sale This Forenoon at 11 O'clock
Mr. Mores Protest Ruled Out.
The protest of Mr. Noyes to the Superior
court against the sale of the Insurance build
ing, printed yesterday, was officially filed
with the Superior court yesterday morning.
Mr. Noyes went to file it on Saturday, but
arrived a little too late. Mr. Talcott H.
Russell, receiver, later in the day yesterday.
called the court's attention to the petition
and it was ordered stricken from the files as
having no place there. It is not, therefore,
before the court. The auction sale of the
building and the lease takes place at. the
building this morning at 11 o'clock, and
from the importance, prominent location
and value of the property cannot fail to be
an interesting public event. The sale is to
be without reserve. Many inquiries have
been made of Mr. Russell both yesterday and
previously by prominent monied men re
garding the property and the sale, and as the
property is to be knocked down to the high
est bidder, no doubt plenty of monied men
will attend the sale, as will people in gen
eral interested as spectators. Mr. B. C.
Lake will officiate as the auctioneer. Mr.
Russell said last evening: "No better title
could be asked for than is offered with the
building (and lease), it being sold by order
of the Superior court and under the verifi
cation acquired under the foreclosure by the
state of Connection! of its mortgage thereon;
while it has Mr. Henry D. White's certifi
cate. Five per cent, of the pnrchase money
is required at the sale, the balance within
thirty days, or on delivery of deeds if deliv
ered before the expiration of that time." Mr.
Russell said last evening that he knew of no
syndicate formed to buy the building, though
any number could, of course, combine to buy
it, and that they could acquire, if they de
sired to, the charter of the New Haven In
vestment company, under which to hold it as
a joint stock company.
REV. A. H. WIATT.
An Address Refore the Prohibition
Club Last Night.
The prohibition meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. Mr. Ga Nun. Rev. A. H.
Wyatt made an eloquent address in which he
said: This question of how we shall deal
with the great evil of intemperance is one of
the great questions of the day; in fact is the
question, the only question, comparatively.
For years we have been buildintr all kinds of
fences to hedge the traffic in. Just before
the war the tending of the country was to
ward prohibition. This war was demoraliz
ing. Men learned to drink and the temper
ance work received a set-back. Then came
the influx of foreign emigration which fol
lowed the war an influx of men who brought
with them the drinking habits of the old
world. The temperance workers trot dis
couraged and the work lagged. Bat a rev ival
nas set in, a revival that reminds me of an old
fashioned Methodist revival. Men are com
ing to the anxious seat and getting convert
ed. I saw a distinguished doctor of divinity
converted a few days ago. He was converted
by a speech from our Prohibition candidate
tor Governor, Rev. Mr. Forbes.
The sentiment of the country is orystal
lizing rapidly on this question and it reminds
the tippler of the future that he will have a
hard time in getting his liquor. The ten
dency is unquestionably towards constitu
tionai prohibition. There are some who still
wish to do all the fighting along the old
lines. The Prohibitionists declare that pro
hibition is legal and right, and that the peo
pie have a right to demand that the traffic
in intoxicating beverages shall be forever
prom oi tea oy constitutional legislation
Prohibitionists declare that the liauor traf
fic is the oause of nine-tenths of all crime
and that it should be as absolutely forbidden
as are arson, murder and other crimes which
none ever undertake to "regulate." -Again
Prohibitionists declare that prohibition is
the normal condition and license the abnor
mal condition. The license law is only a
modified prohibition, and is only of value so
far as it contains tne. element oi prenimtion.
Ought temperance men to unite to
carry through this principle ot pro
hibition and make it ef
factual! I answer yes most emphatically
Nowhere have I seen a better argument for
the third party than in the declaration of
the United Kingdom Alliance of Great
Britain: "That it is neither right or politic
for the States to afford legal protection or
sanction to any traffic or system that tends
to increase crime, to waste the national re
sources, to corrupt the social habits and to
destroy the health and lives ot tne people,
and more to tne same ertecc.
Mr. Wvatt closed his address with a con
demnation of the license system and of its
nse to augment the government revenues
and a denial of the claim that prohibition
must prove ineffectual because it cannot be
enforced, also defending tne tmra party as
the only one standing squarely np against
i the incalculable evils of Intemperance.

This petition after some little discus sion
was referred back to the committee on this
matter for reconsideration.
The letter signed by D. W. Lewis in which
he found fault with the city's way of doing
business, and which came up before the
Board ot puoiic w orks at their last meeting
and was referred to the Court of Common
Council, next came up, but before the
clerk had finished reading it Alderman Dailey
moved it be referred back to that Board, and
it was so ordered.
All the business then being out of the
way the public library matter came up and
the discussion of the proposed contract be
tween tne institute and the city
was opened by Alderman Dailey, who
said l This matter is not a simple one and it
ought to be treated carefully and candidly,
remembering that we are acting as agents for
tne citizens ot JNew uaven. and they should
see by our votes that we do nothing of
wnicn at some later date
the citizens may repent. I think
myself that this contract should not be made
and I myself am opposed to it and shall
vote against it. In the first article it says:
The Institute will turn over to the use of said
library and reading rooms all its books, pamphlets.
periodicals, papers ana ower property, eitoer now
belonging to the Institute or hereafter acquired by
it during the continuance ef this contract, except
such sums as the directors of said Institute shall
from time to time deem reasonable to expend for
litigation to establish or defend the rights of the
Institute, for the meetings of the Institute and its
directors and for advertising."
Now these directors may be perfectly
honest men, bat still as the agent of
the city I should not put suoh power
in their hands. Now take section second,
which reads:
9. This shall include the use of such rooms as the
trustees of the present Institute building shall al
low to the Institute and the money paid over from
time to time under the provisions of their trust.
Now, they might give us two rooms and
they might give us the whole building, but
still I don't think the city would get a fair
equivalent. Again, section three, which reads:
9. All the nroDertv of the Institute, now or here
after included in this contract, which is or shall
have been by the grantor or donor made subject to
any conditions or restrictions, shall be held, used
and managed in accordance with such condi
tions and restrictions.
I don't see why the trust cannot be pnt in
the Mayor and the Court of Common Coun
cil. I think this contract not a fair one for
the city, and I as a business man and
an agent for the city would rather take the
,000 a year mentioned in tne contract and
start a library than put it where in a year
or two you may not have anything to show
for it.
Alderman States The Alderman from the
Tenth has said something about possible
litigation. Now I don't think the directors
ever thought anything about any litigation
except where legacies might be left them,
and this clause in the article is only there so
as to give the Institute money and power to
probate such wills. There are at present
nearly 600 persons who are partaking of the
benefits held forth by the Yonng
Men's Institute. The idea seems to have got
out that the Institute in some way is going
to swindle the city out of $6,000 a year, and
now I would ask what is the Institute! It is
the citizens of New Haven; and they will
not be liable to swindle themselves. This
library committee have worked hard for two
years nearly to bring this matter to some
... i - i
point, and tney ODiainea irom tae legisla
ture the power to complete this contract, or
to appropriate $150,000 for this purpose and
buy property and start a free library, but
this latter was opposed, and no contract or
anything else for a free library will ever
come up but what it will be opposed by
some one. 1 do not believe mat sucn men
as Harmanus M. Welch, Rnel P. Cowles and
John E. Earle will ever try to
swindle the citizens of New Haven. You
will never have a better tune than to night
to start a public library, and I believe if this
contract is passed there will in time be a
publio library of which all the citizens of
New Haven will be proud.
Alderman Whitmore didn't quite under
stand the exact meaning of some of the sec
tions and so the Board went into an informal
session and Jndge Pardee explained each
clause at lencrth.
Alderman States tnen moved mat tney vote
to accept the contract.
Alderman Graves 1 move it do an in
formal ballot and taken by aye and nay.
This motion Was seconded and a vote was
taken with the following result:
In favor. Aldermen Dickerman. Kenney,
States, Wines, Bradley, Sheridan, Graves,
Whitmore. Hill. Pohlinau, Blakeslee, Hem
ingway and Connors; opposed, Martin, Dailey
and Fisher.
Aldeman Dickerman then moved that the
vote be made formal and it was so done.
Alderman States moved that the commit
tee be ordered to sign the contract for the
city, which motion was passed and the meet
ing adjourned.

Handsome Floral Designs.
During the performance of Corinne and
her opera company at Bunnell's Grand Opera
house last evening Corinne was presented
with eight handsome floral designs by her
many friends. One design was that of a
ship with the name "Corinne" on the side and
another the horn of plenty. The floral
pieces will be exhibited in Bolton & Neely's
store to day.

their rescue and they were brought ashore
very muoh exhausted.
DEMOCRATIC TOWN CONVENTION.
Election of Delegates to the State Con
vention Thomas H. Sullivan, Wil
liam H. Law, martin Conlln and
Truman S. Foots.
The Democratic town convention for the
election of delegates to the State convention
to be held in this city on Tuesday next was
held in Turn hall last evening. Previous to
the meeting of the convention the town com
mittee held a secret meeting in the hall, and
the delegates were kept standing on the side
walk until nearly half-past eight o'clock.
When the , doors were opened there was a
rush up the winding stairway leading to the
hall, but when the door was reached two
stalwart sentinels obstructed the entrance
and allowed no one to pass unless they could
show the proper credentials entitling them
to seats in the convention. For a short time
after gaining admission to the hall the dele
gates gathered in knots and talked over the
situation with considerable earnestness.
At 8:40 Corporation Counsel Driscoll,
chairman of the committee, called the con
vention to order. Mr. Driscoll said that in
the short time he should remain in the chair
he should enforce the rules laid down by the
Democratic party to the letter; and if there
was any faulty be found it should be with
the rules and 55t with himself.. He said he
had done his best to have the' moderators of
the various boards provide the delegates with
their credentials so that they would not be
prevented from being present and participat
ing in the proceedings of the convention.
There was one, Mr. Hayes of the Fourth
ward, outside without credentials and under
the rale he could not be admitted nntil the
moderator of his ward arrived.
Mr. Driscoll called for the nomination of a
chairman. John E. Earle was nominated
and elected. Mr. Earle went npon the plat
form, thanked the convention for the honor
and called for the nomination of a secretary.
Thomas F. Stackpole was nominated and
declined. . James E. McGann was then nom
inated and stated that he was not a delegate
and he was invited by the chairman "to leave
the floor. Mr. McGann promptly accepted
the invitation, as did three or four others
who were not delegates.
F. S. Andrew was then elected secretary.
A motion was made to admit those not
delegates to the gallery, which prevailed

Give TMs Your Attention I
The fact of onr being the largest distributor of.
Teas and Coffees
in this city is positive evidence, that quality
second to none. The tendency of the times is to lower the price a trifle by lower
ing the quality materially. Believing in the articles of Tea and Coffee
more than in anything else that "the best is the cheapest," we
have maintained the higher standard of quality, and
doubled our sales during the past few months.
