Arguments Made Before Judge Andrews

Arguments Made Before Judge Andrews
 OH the MayOraltv Question.
 The proceedings taken by counsel for F. s. Andrew, one of the candidates for Mayor at the last city election, led to hearing before Judge Andrews in the Superior court yester- day. The claim of Mir. Andrew is that should there be recount of all the ballots, he and not Henry G. Lewis would be found to have been elected Mayor. As is well known, Mayor Lewis now holds the office by virtue of certificate from Chief Justice Park, who, at request of counsel for Andrew, ordered recount in the Third ward. Mir. Andrew now comes into court with desire to have recount of all the other wards.
 T. E. Doolittle appeared for MT. Andrew and l.. N. Blydenburgh and John s. Beach for Mayor Lewis.
 MT. Blyderburgh claimed that the writ of quo warranto was insufficient, because lack ing in substance as well as form.
 /. MT. DooIittle made some statements, say ing he had brought the suit at the request of many of the best people in New Haven. He said ''{Fe relate no specific errors, but er- TOTS had intervened between the casting of the ballots and the declaration of the court :"
 John s Beach said that MT. Doolittle, in stead of saying he had brought the suit at the request of the best people, should have said that it was at the request of the bet ters"
 A great deal of law was read and arguments were made. Mr. Beach, rsmarking upon the idea of having jury make the recount, said: A juror could not properly examine ballot in less than fifteen seconds. The examination by the twelve men would take 1S0 seconds. An inspection of the whole number of ballots cast would therefore occupy 27,000 minutes. This is 450 hours or ninety court days, equal to 224 weeks or 54 months. What a prospect that is, your honor, said MT. Beach very gravely, amid the laughter of every one in the court room.
 MT. Doolittle thought the calculation all nonsense.
 Judge Andrews reserved his decision, lnti- mating that he might ask the advice of the Supreme court. So Mayor Lewis holds the fort, so to speak.

Fair Raven.

A firm in Cincinnati, Ohio, manufacture pipes from the clay which comes from the celebrated caves. Rev. Mir. Hovey thought he would like some of the pipes and accord ingly sent for them. The goods came by Adams Express, c. O D., with the privilege of opening and examining. Mir. Hovey was delighted with the pipes-four of them and with the price, which he thought was one dollar and thirty cents, and showed the valuable relics to his friends. All thought them splendid, but when the expressman came with the bill, one hundred and thirty dollars, which the parson had taken for one dollar and thirty cents, he thought differently of the bargain and immediately had the goods returned.

the town ln theIr hands, and made not only ordinances for themselves, but also general police regulations which were binding upon the whole city. The s'guild merchant'' of Berwick on the Tweed" had sanitary reg ulations, tariffs fixing the price of common articles of trade rules against forestalling and expressing, market regulations, taxes and general provisions with regard to the government and the borough. In Cologne, where the patricians controlled the city they held the craftsmen in position almost of servitude. The law administered in the interest of the rulers. As these guilds became aristocratic, they excluded men with dirty hands or with blue nails, and the craftsman who would be admitted must have foresworn his trade for year and day. The rule of the wealthier guilds in Eng land does not seem to have been as hard as in Germany, but there were many contests. The speaker pictured the life of the artisan in the 14th and 18th centuries. The first step was the apprenticeship. He was brought into the guild hall and there, in presence of a magistrate, was made the con- tract with his future master. This contract extended over many years, in England generally seven, and on the continent two to six years
 The lecturer gave very interesting ac count of these contracts. Monopolies were given to ensure honesty and thoroughness and for these things the guilds were granted | their privileges. The ordinances of the Full | Ter 6ul1Q or bTlSIO1 redO OfQeE 70 put out and do away with all kinds of bad work l and deceits." There were regulations of workmanship, whereby damages were award ed complainants ID case the workman had 8 lack of skill and his work was not well done The drapers had right to visit fairs and measure with standard yard-stick all cloths exposed for sale Outside competition was excluded and there were regulations to pre- vent one member of guild from getting all the business. Masters could not entice an apprentice from another master. The price of labor was frequently fixed by the guild Under the rules workman could carry on 8 small business without hope of brilliant sue cess, but without fear of failure. A feature of the annual election of guild officers was
 the ceremony of crowning with garlands, which were kind of heraldic chaplet, lined with red velvet These election days were
 the great days of the year.
 The lecturer gave most interesting de-
 scription of the annual festivities of the
 English guilds-the costly banquets and cere- monies.
 The guilds were political organizations as
 well as trade societies, and as such it fell upon
