 Alderman Sheldon said: Regarding mat ters of local concern, they should be settled on their merits and should be considered as
 to what is best for the interest of the citizens of New Haven. If you force this question upon us is 1t not plain that we shall have to appeal to higher tribunal in order to ob- tain our rights I ask you to hold your hand, and reflect and pause before taking action on 8 question of so much importance.

 WAsHINGToN, Jan. 1.-The vote in the l Senate this morning on tabling the Halliday bill to take up the Kellogg case, although not an actual test of the strength of the parties on the question, is considered on both sides of the chamber as practically a quietus to the agitation en the subject. While three or perhaps four Senators would vote for the Kellogg resolution to save the Halliday bill the result disclosed the impossibility of se- curing majority for the committee's report and no serious attempt to take it up will again be made
 Attorney General Devens is mentioned as probable successor to Judge Advocate General Dunn, who is soon to be placed on the retired list.
 caucus of the Republican Senators was held this morning at which it was decided to resist taking up any action on the Kellogg case to the full extent of parliamentary usage. The appointment was made of a committee of five on the order of business, which will be announced hereafter.

A YOUNG man brought this in: "The

citizen, John Smith, Esq, was last
evening blaze of light, the occasion
being recherche solree in honor OF
the lovely Miss Smiths arrival home
from the Academy. From early gloam.

most appetizing repast to which was
given the close attention 1t so we'll de-
served. The large parlors were clear,
ed for the merry dancers at the con-
clusion of the banquet, AID until the
wee sma' hours ayont the twal were
reached, fair, women and brave men
trlpped the light fantastic toe In the
bewildcring mazes Of the dance." (Etc.
etc., etc., and 80 forth.) When that
young man got the paper and found
these words, "There was u dance at
Smiths last night"-only these and
nothing more-he went out and hanged
himself.
