The Board of public, safety field its regular meeting last evening and the long delay by, its members In getting together. Indicated that something unr usual would come up for consideration. The final items of business showed this to be true. In the absence of the mayor, Commissioner Hull acted as chairman. ' Applications from James J. Raleigh and John Bergin for ap pointments on the police force were received and the annual report of the election of officers of the Protector Hose company was acknowledged. The Brass City Athletic club was allowed to change the terms of its application for holding a boxing exhibition in De cember and the Union Athletic club was granted permission to hold a sparring exhibition during the same month. The regular bills of both the fire and police department were approved and ordered to be paid, including a bill for $18 from Dr Moriarty for at tending a policeman who was hurt while in the performance of his duty, and over which there has been some discussion at the previous meetings of the board. To' an invitation from the fire department of Bridgeport to take part in the city's celebration of its centennial it was voted that it would be impossiole for any company of the local department to attend with any piece of apparatus. This does not ex clude any of the volunteer companies from attending but any of the depart ment's property must not be removed from the city on that day. This step was taken on the motion of Commis sioner Kleinecke, who said he thought the city could not afford to allow any fire company to leave the town, its protection from fire being limited as it is. It was voted to recommend to the board of finance an appropriation of !f20,(X)0 fcr the purchase of a lot and erection of an engine house in Brook lyn, it being considered better in every respect to build a new house than re model the present one. A telegraph system in the police de partment w.i3 discussed also and a step nearer was taken toward the realization of that long felt want, an IATERIAL Binding Strips, all colors 5 yards 10c, SECCOTINE (CEMENT), 15 cents.

The suit of Brown Brothers against George J. Capewell and others will be taken up for ar gument before Judge Townsend and the jury in the circuit court of the United States to-day. The defendants finished their side of the case at 3:30 yesterday afternoon and after a short recess the plaintiffs went on and were engaged in the introduction of rebut tal testimony for the balance of the day. At the session of the court yesterday the defendants called several mechan ical experts. Among them were Pro fessor Charles K. Richards of the Shef field Scientific school at Yale, S. W. Goodyear of Waterbury, Amos Whit ney and Charles E. Billings of this city. They testified that they had seen the machines for making bicycle spokes in operation by the American Specialty Manufacturing company and they pronounced them to be a commer cial and mechanical success. Albert Brown of the plaintiff firm, the only member of Brown Brothers who has been in attendance at the trial, was called bv Judge Eggleston as a wit ness for the defendants. He testified that from the time the machines were put in by the firm to the time the fac tory closed, spokes in England had dropped in price from thirty shillings per thousand to sixteen shillings. The testimony on the rebuttal by the plain tiffs was in direct contradiction to many statements made by witnesses for the defendants. SURVEY STEAMER RETURNS.
