County Commissioners.

The regular meeting of the Board of Coun- ty Commissioners was held yesterday, al- though no business of importance was trans acted. Hereafter one of the commissioners will be in attendance each day to answer questions in regard to licenses and to do such other business as may be required. On the first of November the commissioners will commence to grant licenses to such as have applied and are ''well qualified" It is under stood that the S. P. c. society will make objections to a large number who have applied for licenses this year on the ground that they have, in one way or another, violated the license law during the past year and hence should not be licensed to sell the coming year. Some of these will no doubt be thrown out as unworthy" while others perhaps equally guilty will be recog- nized and be allowed to sell (under Hcense) for another year. The commissioners are gentlemen of good judgment and common sense and will no doubt interpret the law forcibly and to the satisfaction of all parties in interest.

Down a Steep Declivity.

Narrow Escape of Ladies and Others.
 Yesterday afternoon there was narrow escape of two ladies, child and the driver of their team, in 8 portion of what is to be the new park. party of three, consisting of Mrs. Mary E. B. Pease, widow of Obadiah Pease, residing at No. 28 Elm street, her daughter, Miss Pease, and a child, were in 8 chariotee belonging to Mir. Audley, the livery man, who was driving, and were driving up the newly made road from State street which leads to the top of Mt. See All or Indian Head, which is now becoming much ire quented as beautiful pleasure drive. They had ascended about one-third of the dis tance, when the horse began to grow restive, and after some hesitating, backed, and backed the chariotee down steep declivity
 of loose fragments of rock, the descent being some thirty or forty feet providentially there were number of trees, about twenty feet down, in the way of the descending ve- hicle, by which it's further descent was stopped The fright and dismay of the la- dies at the accident and their joy at their es- 1 cape (for they escaped serious bodily injury) may be imagined The vehicle was found to l have one wheel broken and shaft. MT. Audley retained the seat and held the horse l firmly back in going down the steep descent, showing good presence of mind, and thereby, probably, preventing the horse from pitch
 ing over upon the carriage and it's occupants. After assisting the ladies to the road and leading the horse up, he went up the road to | where the laborers were at work, near the
 upper termination, completing the road, and, obtaining some of their number, they hauled up the carriage. The ladies, with their little
 companion, walked to State street, returning | home by the horse cars, and Mir. Audley pro.
 ceeded homeward to have the vehicle re- moved to the carriage repair shop. Soon | after two well known gentlemen, one bank president, the other a bank director, who
 were out for little pedestrian exercise, also
 to visit the new park and get the view from \ Mt. See All, hove in view, and discovered the
 carriage down the descent. They, after mat.
 ters were righted, completed their walk uI
 the new road They estimated it to be two thirds of a mile in length, from State street to the top of Mt. See All, and mile from
 the termination of the State street horse cal | line. Workmen have been busy making the
 road for number of weeks past under the
 direction of the park commissioners, and
 as stated, the work is fast approaching com
 pletion. A heavy and strong railing will bs placed at the spot above spoken of, and oth CTS will be placed where required. The view
 from the top of Mt See All is well known te
 be one almost equal to that from the top o | the Rock

 An exchange yesterday says: Norwich is laughing to-day over the predicament of the Rev. Leonard Woolsey Bacon, who Sum- day afternoon violated one of the old Con- necticut Blue Laws, which he was so ve- hement two years ago in upholding" The foregoing is in reference to the fact that the clergyman hitched up 8 fine team and took his recent guest, ex-President Hayes, to ride last Sunday, the Hon. John T. Wait being also with him.

Run Over by a Grocery wagon.

Yesterday afternoon, while Adolph Helget, little son of Police Officer Helget, was on his way to school, on George street at the corner of Park, he was run over by grocery wagon, both wheels passing over his right leg and severely bruising it. The driver, after his carslessness, whipped up the horse and drove of, without stopping to learn the extent of the boys injuries. The little fellow suffers much pain from his injuries, and his father is indignant at the heartless action of the driver. MT. Helget does not know the name of the driver, but is of opinion that he will be able to discover the mans identity.

 Grand Encampment-Annual Meeting.
 At the meeting of the Grand Encampment I. ODE, held in this city yesterday, officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows:
 asDd Hah PTiest oliner Woodhouse of Hartford
 Grand Senior Warden, Hiram Francis Of Meriden Grand Scribe Frederick Botsford of New Haven
 Grand Treasnrer James E. Bidwen of Middletown.
 Grand Junior Warden. Ellery Camp of New HaVen'
 Grand Representative, James Craig of M1ddletown'
 The Grand Patriarch, Mir. Craig, in his an nual report said that the revised work was delayed SO that it was summer before it was ready to be started. The revised ritual had not awakened the enthusiasm anticipated. This many reports from officers plainly indi- cated and the speakers own view corre- sponded. The Golden Rule degree had been shown of an excellent feature and no equiva- lent had been given in it's place. A consid- erable expense also had been imposed on the subordinates by the introduction of the new work As far as am able to judge. the work of the subordinates has been hindered rather than helped by the introduction of the. new work Nevertheless they seem to be Loyalty disposed to equip themselves as re- quired, and to render the work according to their best ability. I regret that the Sover- eign Grand Lodge did not see fit to adopt the measure proposed by our worthy grand re- presentative, c. B. Foster, looking to re- vision of the work, and hope that the R. W. Grand Encampment will in some way give utterance to the feelings so prevalent in this l jurisdiction. I regret that am under the necessity of calling your attention-as my predecessor did year ago-to the fact that some of the uniformed bodies of patriarchs l in this jurisdiction still all fail to observe the law in regard to balls, excursions, etc. | ance of the requirements of the law, but facts which have transpired during the past year \ indicate that whatever the reason may be, it is not ignorance.
 \ Grand Representative Charles B. Foster and J. l.. Hungerford, who attended the annual communication of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, I. o. o. F., at Cincinnati, ! September 19,-reported, among other facts, these interesting statistics, as showing the condition of the order

 The morning session of the Grand En- campment closed at 12 o'clock, and, in addi- tion to the reports printed above, the report of the Grand Scrlbe Frederick Botsford,
 was read. The principal feature in the re- port was the increase in the membership
 during the year. Thirty new mem.
