' BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY I
Voted Last Night to Appoint Ten More
j ; Policemen.-. ...
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

NEARING AN END.
Arguments In Suit of Brown Against
Capewell Will Be Reached To-day.
Hartford. Oct 31. 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.
After Spending Months In Alaskan
Waters Making Charts.
Victoria, B. C, Oct 31. The United
States coast survey steamer McArthur,
after two months spent in Alaskan
waters, making chart corrections and
revision of the coast line, has arrived
here. When the vessel left Seattle for
the north a pilot took her as far north
as Cape Spencer, at the entrance of
Cross sound, which is a point where
Nome-bound craft taking the in-shore
passage have to veer off into the open.
The vessel also called in at Muir
Glacier. She entered the bay at night,
being one of the few ships to get with
in sight of the glacier this year. On
leaving the bay she found that she
had to force her way through thick ice
which had formed during the short
time she was in port. She reports
that sailors ars again endeavoring to
consolidate. The owners of two
thirds of the schooners have agreed to
pool their Interests.

Warwick; 821 years before the birth
of Harvard, and sso years Deiore me
founding of Yale. It antedates the
Declaration of Independence 901 years
and the adoption of the constitution' of
the United States 972 years. When
the civil war broke out it --was 1,040
years old and when Prescient McKin
ley was inaugurated if bad witnessed
the passing of 1,072-' years. Yet, not
withstanding its great antiquity, it was
cast nearly 800 ears after the found
ing of the ehurch of which it is a witness.--"The
inscription on the bell,
which may.be read easilyj says: "The

Villa Murva. The Procurator, the Rev
Father Josef E'Stiran. Corrales Made
Me. Made in the year A. D. 815."
