GRAND ARMY INSTRUMENTATION time to
to the benevolent and charitable work done by
Post 10, G. A. r., in this city For three years
the charitable fund of the post was mainly OBJ
tanned from the profits on their successful lee
turc courses, which Melted them about three
thousand dollars. Money was obtained from
other sources as well as by contributions of
members of the organization. But the fair more
than any other enterprise enlarged the oppor-
tunity for charitable work.
Not dollar OF the money assigned to the
charity fund has ever been taken by the
post for any other than benevolent
purposes. Its management and disburse-
ment has been entrusted to board of
trustees who have recently made their report for
the past year. During 1871, many orphan chill
dren and widows and disabled and unfortunate
comrades have thanked the Grand Army charity
which has been their Good Samaritan in the
time Of distress. The aid has invariably been
extended in small amounts, the sum total Of
which is made up of the following items; Gro
ceries and provisions, S726.25; fuel, 1884 50;
clothing, S1274s railway fares, S40.7O; educa-
iional purposes, st44; medicines, 1882 49,; care
of the sick, ss6o.62; funeral expenses, 1892; and
in cash, s29s.7o--a total Of s2,9s526 for the year
The balance of the relief fund remaining on
hand at the beginning of the year was 81 ots.52.
Apart from this fund is another held by the
trustees for the post, which is devoted to special
purposes. This is the drummer Boy fund.
which last year amounted to 81 ,575, $3.50 of
which was sent tolchicago after the great Ore,
and $500 was applied to the payment for the

The convention as well as Mr. Burr were consid-
era0ly surprised at the presentation of bis name
as president, i being generally believed that Mr.
Babcock of North Haven would be selectcd
Mr.. Burr, on taking the chair, expressed bis
surprise at the honor conferred, but as there was
no time to alter the report Of the committee, he
would accept. Mr. Ingersol of New Haven pre-
scented the name of Richard ID. Hubbard of HIATT
ford for governor. At the mention Of his name
the convention gave enthusiastic applause. Mr..
lngersoll suggested that ballot be dispensed
with aud that the convention nominate Nj.
Hubbard by reclamation. The chairman asked
the convention to rise and give three cheers for
Mr.. Hubbard which were enthusiastically given
after which he announced that Mr. Richard d.
Hubbard was their nominee for governor.

ernor.

The decision of the ways and means commit

tariff bill may be expected in the house soon.

shape tomorrow. A large number OF amend

how far The bill will be modified.

Mr.. Kellogg of Connecticut, who is at home
for day or two, telegrapbcd this afternoon to

riOiccd over the news, and the republicans
eoucede that it will lead to lively campaign in
Connecticut.
THE NAVY.
1t is noticeable fact that the house naval
committee unanimously agreed TO Mr.. Banks
hill for the construction Of ten sloops-ol-war.
The complications with Spain and the fury Of
the English press in regard to the Alabama
claims have led members of both pa ties to look
into the condition of the navy, and it is found to
be surprisingly weak. The bill will soon pass
both i0hses.
TIE HotisE SEATS.
The house will undoubtedly draw for seats
Tomorrow. The long contest over the matter
has resulted in a victory for the Discontinued
members. The struggle would he indelensible

ton ordering the investigation.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Senator Wilson has been tclcgraphed to from
New Hamsphire, to come on and take part in
the campaign. He has not decided what an
swer to give, but 1t is rumorcd that, before he
goes, he desires to know what course the admin.

custom house investigation, for that subject en-
ers pretty largely into the canvass in that state,
and Mr.. Wilson desires to he prepared 10 answer
