Making Electors.

The SeIectmen's Office Crowded During
 the Day-Over Five Hundred Persons
 Made.
 The first day for making electors in the Se1ectmen's office yesterday was lively one. The Board of Selectmen met at 9 o'clock, and after the men had been formed in line the work commenced. Police officers were stationed at the different places of ingress and egress to preserve order and keep the men in line. Notwithstanding this fact, Fit is claimed that while line was formed extend ing from the Selectmen's office nearly to Court street, yet another line composed of Demo- crats entered the office through the side en- trance and gained an undue advantage over others who were in the main line by getting through before their turn. If this be so the matter should be remedied to-day, so that neither party can take any undue advantage The Board ceased their labors at o'clock, when it was found that the total number of electors made was 563, divided by wards as follows First ward AS, Second 49, Third 59 Fourth 54, Fifth AZ, Sixth 61, Seventh 65, Eighth 27, Ninth 5S, Tenth 35, Eleventh 32, Twelfth 21, Thirteenth 12.
 After the Board adjourned their regular session they met in room 10, City Hall, to hear cases that had been postponed for fur ther hearing. The first case heard was that of James R. Daley, who was challenged be- cause it was claimed he was under age. A dispatch from Springfield, Mass, stated that he was not of age and the applicant claimed that the person sending the dispatch was not his father. He was given until next Mon day to produce proof regarding his age.
 Edward Shannon was challenged because he had been sent to the State Reform School for theft The Board thought this did not forfeit any of his rights as a voter, and it was agreed to admit him to-day without de- bate.
 Samuel LaveIle had moved out of the city on account of the illness of his child, but had continued to work in the city. The objec- tions to him were that he was nonresident. Voted to admit him to-day without debate.
 William Churchill, a student of the class of 'S2, was not admitted The trouble with him was that the Democratic members of the Board thought him nonresident, although he had lived here over year and considered this his home.
 The objections to John Higgins were that he was under age, and he was given until Monday to prove that he was twenty-one The same question arose regarding John J. Sears, and he was given tugther time.
 Charles Benoit came here in October, 1879, from Buffalo, N. Y. His family stopped in Massachusetts to make visit and reached here the December following. It was voted to admit him today. Peter Boyan, whose case was similar to Benoit's, was also passed
 There was dispute about the name of Marx Jacobs being on the registry list, it being stated that he did not apply un- til after o'clock on the afternoon of Octo- Der 14. It was left with the registrars to de- eide whether he should now be entered ''to be made" Wilbur H. Smith, a divinity stu dent who supports himself, John E. Futile, and William A. Thomas, also theologues, were passed after being objected to on the ground of non residence.
 Everett Warner, student, was rejected after stating that he intended to make New Haven his permanent residence and was boarding with his uncle on Howe street.
 Peter Tierney, an inmate of the almshouse was objected to because he was partially in sane. He was passed by the Board.
