Action on Applications for Licenses
 Objections by the s. P. C.-BIlIs Ap-
 proved and Bridges Ordered Re-
 paired.
 The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held last evening. Pres ent, Selectmen Andrew, (presiding) Reynolds, Hugo, FeldmaR, Cooper, Crawford and Hart
 MT. Feldman reported that Mrs. John Keenan, of 20 Union street, who had ap- piled for license, had left town and gone to Boston and no action was necessary in her case..
 In the case of H. L. Spencer, who had ap- piled for g license, Mr. Feldman said that he had found from the police records that he had not been prosecuted since 1875.
 MT. Asher, attorney for Mir. Spencer, said that it had been reported that his client had, so far as the police records appeared, kept an orderly place. The statement that he kept house of i'll fame was without any foundation in fact.
 Julius Tyler, jr., said that his father owned property both sides of MT. Spencer, and so far as he knew there had never been any com plaints by neighbors as to his keeping dis orderly place.
 Mir. Spencer testified in his own behalf. He said he had never kept girls in his house ex- cept as servants. He said he kept from four teen to fifteen boarders and had always kept quiet and orderly place.
 A communication was read from Detective Ewing submitting vote of the Society for Prevention of Crime, passed on January IT, 1880, asking the present Board of Select men not to grant licenses to Mary Knowl- ton, 214 Wooster street; George Langdon, 21O Wooster street; Sarah KnowIton, 87 Union street; H. l.. Spencer, 25 Union street Mrs. John Keenan,, 20 Union street Marca- ret Johnson, alias Hicks, 63 Fair street.
 The Board then proceeded to consider the applications, President Andrew reading the applications as presented. When the applica- ton of H. L. Spencer was reached ballot was taken according to the rule adopted for de- ciding on applications objected to. There were four votes in favor and three against. and the application was declared granted

Burglars Busy i'm Hartford,

Every day brings to the Hartford police complaints of burglaries being committed in that city. Monday night the residence of John M. Parker, on Walnut street, was en- tered by means of rear window. A suit of clothes belonging to Mir. Parker was taken out by the thief and the pockets robbed of $15 in money. The clothes were found in the yard of neighbor, where Officer Martin saw the thief and gave chase; but he was unable to capture him. A valuable gold watch and other articles of value were left behind in the house.
 A noise was heard Monday night at the window of the residence of w. s. Bronson, on Ann street, by the inmates. On going to the window one of them saw man running out of the yerd. He had evidently been try ing to enter the house.

A Plea For Elopements.
Mrs LabOuchere PrismaEically COnsid- CTS the Subject of Wedl0ck without Parental Consent.

Mrs L4bOuchere dramatically COnsid-
 CTS the Subject of WedIocEk without
 Parental Consent.
 From London Truth.l
 In England, where young men and maid ems who have attained their majority are not bound to ask for parental permission in order to marry, one would think that elopements were seldom excusable but parental authori- ty can make itself felt in many unpleasant ways, which sometimes force children to make runaway matches. Say that girl is very deeply in love with man whom her friends dislike. She knows that if she mentioned his name in the family circle it would lead to sco1dings, ,maledictions and petty prosecutions without number It is not every girl who has the moral courage to face this kind of thing besides which, as the endurance of 1t could bring about no good result, seeing that girl who is dependent on her parents for support cannot practically be married from their house unless they please, elopement suggests itself as the only solution of the difficulty. It is, at the best, but @ very sorry expedient, and one which, it may be presumed, few girls adopt without reluctance. To siink out of house with small bag of linen in one's hand, to meet the bridegroom in cold empty church, and there to be married, without we'd ding dress bridesmaids, or friends; then to start of on honeymoon tour with the feel ing that one has perhaps quarrelled for life with father, mother, brothers and sisters this is measure which can only be under taken with anything like lightness of heart by @ very thoughtIess girl or by one of the high est spirits. It has been noticed, however, that girls who have happy homes elope more easily than those who have been much buii1sd by

Arrested for Murder.

FeIled by a BIow-Concussion Of the
 Brain-The ASsailans to be ArraIgned
 To-Day.
 The Bridgeport police yesterday obtained
 conformation of their suspicious that there had
 been foul play in the case of Patrick Redden,
 who was found lying in the hallway in Curtis
 building in that city last Friday night, and
 died early Saturday morning. They arrested
 William McMullen, who had been heard to
 say in a saloon that one McQuiliian struck
 man blow and that there might be murder
 case out of it yet. McMullen stated that he
 and McQuillian vera at the ball until between
 twelve and one o'clock, when they were put
 out on account of their disorderly behavior.
 This fact the officers already knew about.
 About o'clock, McMullen went on to say, he
 and McQuillian returned to the hall, consider
 ably under the influence of liquor, and tried to get in. The dance was then over, and sorse of the officers of the society, who were there holding business meeting, refused them admission. They then turned to go out, and while descending the first flight of stairs met Redden.- Their place of meeting was about seven steps from the bottom. McMul- len says that as they approached, Redden threw up his hands and waved them as any
 drunken nan might do, but apparently with
 out any hostile intention. McQuillian took it, however, as a signal for fight and immediately struck Redden blow | in the face, which toppled him over the ban
 mister. He laid where he fell on the floor, and the young men went on and left him. Subsequently he was found and carried up- stairs, where he remained until about 5 | o'clock, and when the janitor and another ! man desircus of shutting up the hall took | him out and left him in the hallway again. Chief Marsh on Monday examined the place | where Redden was knocked off the stairway and found that he received 8 fall of about nine | feet.
 In going down his head evidently struck the lower banister railing, about two feet from the floor, causing the concussion of the brain which resulted in the blood clots and led to ! death.
 When first arrested McQuiilian made strong professions of innocence, but afterwards ad- mitted striking Redden, as stated by McMul- len. He claims, however, that Redden seized ! him first McMullen claims, however, that ! there was no provocation whatever. unless
 Redden's meaningless gestures could be taken | as such. The men had not previously met in l the hall and had no acquaintance. McQuillian is to be arraigned this morning | on charge of murder in the first degree.
 At the worst, however, he can only be con- ! victed of mansaughter, for the reason that the element of reconciliation appears to be ! entirely lacking. He is less than twenty years of age, and does not bear very good name, although he has never before been ar- rested for anything serious. Monday even- | ing his father called on him and told him he ! must get out of his present trouble the best | way he could.

Presi- dent McHenry then took the chair and ad- dressed the meeting on the subject of subscrip- tions to the boat club. He gave the following averages per man for the various classes Seniors, $S.1O; juniors, $4.2O; sophomores. $6.4o; freshmen, $5.46, and stated that there were 25 freshmen, 40 sophomores, 50 juniors and 60 seniors who had not yet been called upon to subscribe. These figures make but poor showing for the under classes, especially the junior and freshmen. It has never before been the case that the seniors have contributed more per man to the sup port of athletics than the other classes in col lege. The figures quoted by MT. McHenry reflect as much credit upon the present san- for class as they do discredit upon the juniors. After an earnest appeal for more hearty sup port from the whole college, MT. McHenry adjourned the meeting.
