Special Committee on Water.

The @ Question of Water Again Under Com
 sideration-Corporatio Counsel Stod-
 dard's Opinion-An Adjuurnment.
 An adjourned meeting Of the joint special com Hittes water held in the Mayors office last evening, His Honor Mayor Robertson presiding. There present of the committee Aldermen Bald win, Driscoll and Stoddard, Coun ci1men Twiss and Elliott Corporation Counsel Stoddard also pres ent.
 Secretary Twiss read from the proposed contract showing that the company willing to supply of water at given price, and that any person aggrieved prices charged should have power to and recover.
 Corporation Counsel Stoddard said that he was of the opinion that perhaps technical suit would lay in whether it would or not His own opinion was that practically individual would attempt to contest the matter with the Water company. They say they will pay damages, but how are those damages to be obtaDed? The city has refused to purchase and they are now at the mercy of the Water company He did not think the agreement, far the ater company was concerned in this regard, amounted to anything Yet he believed that the Water company intended to
 live up to their proposition He said that sooner or later if the Water company did not keep their con- tract the city would have to to the for permission to take water from somewhere else he did not believe there would be substantial redress in case the Water company declined to serve consu- CTS according to the contract as submitted by tne
 After the preliminary talk the contract as propos- ed by the Water company, was taken up in detail
 Corporation Counsel Stoddard said that the com pany ought to furnish the the city for noth ing for the franchise they had. There is not thing this contract Corporation Counsel Stoddard, that is binding except to bind the Water company to the price named for water for city purposes.
 Alderman Driscou thought the best way to make a contract without any reference to the old contract of 1862.
 Further discussion followed between members of the committee the feeling seemingly being that the size of pipes and the number of faucets in house should not be limited for the of one family.
 Dr. J. P. Phillips appeared before the committee to protest against any contract with the New Hayeu Water company proposed. He asked that the con tract be submitted the people in January, that the entire question be referred to the people again, from the fact that they {he people, did not fully understand the question when the vote last taken He said that the question should be laid be- fore the voters before the contract expires in Feb ruary next.
 The committee adjourned until next Saturday eV- ening at 7:30 o'clock.

I,icensed Pharmacfets,

Thus far the pharmacy commission has is- sued an aggregate of over three hundred and fifty licenses to druggists of the State and their clerks. The last session of tho commis- sion this year will be held in Hartford on the first Tuesday in December, when all the bus mess will be finished, preparatory to the making of report to the Legislature. 1t is somewhat curious fact that while the law boroughs need be licensed, many applica- tions have been received from the country towns. This is in order to get the benefit to be derived from hanging out sign q i- censed pharmacist with the prestige thus afforded. A license costs but $3, and Is worth that amount as an advertisement, and especially if there is any rivalry with another storekeeper or druggist. 1t would not be surprising if at the next session of the Gene ral Assembly the operation of the act was ex- tended to druggists outside the cities and borOuphS

DOOMED 10 DE HANGED JANUARY OIA.
 The Albany Journal in speaking of the re-sentencing to the gallows of Joseph Alp bolt January 9th says: 'tAbbott appears to be about the last person one would suppose capable of committing murder he being prepossessing in appearance and of good ad. dress. He was unrepresented by counsel, and when District Attorney John B. Stanch- field, of Elmira, moved sentence, he prompt ly rose to his feet when requested so to do by Justice Learned. On being asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced, he merely requested that the time be extended as long as possible that he might have time to prepare for his end. Justice Learned, briefly alluding to the facts above set forth, concluded by sentencing Ab- bolt to be hanged on the 9th of January, be- tween 10 a. m. and ? p. m., and remanding him to the custody of the sheriff of Che mung county until execution is done" Ab- bott's father is in the Connecticut State pris- on for life for killing Bronson in West Ha- ven

Old Yale men will once more have the dear memory of college days brought back by the familiar strains of "Gaudeamus" and other characteristic Yale songs while all will be equally delighted with the new college songs and warbles which the club have added to it's programme since it's last visit here.
