Eight Men Drowned.

Three Barges Lost On the Mouth of the
 Co Onnect1cut i'm Monday Nights Gale.
 The barges Dunderberg, Osprey and Ida bound for Providence with about 300 tons of coal were lost of the mouth of the Con- necticut river Monday night. The eight men on board of them were drowned. The barges were found prom Jersey City and were bling lowed by the tug c. B. Sanford, Captain Hallock The Sanford left New York with the barges Ida, Osprey, Dunderberg and Hat teras, laden with coal for Providence, Fall River and Somerset. When about midway between Cornfield light and Faulkland Is- Iand at fifteen minutes past six o'clock Mon day afternoon, the hawser between the first and second barges parted, and three minutes later the barees Ida, Osprey and Dunder- berg were out of sight and it is supposed that they and the men on board, eight in number, are lost.
 The names of the men believed to be drowned, as near as could be ascertained, are as follows:

 Ida-Captain O. l.. Smith, of Hartford, a man from Frankfort, Me, and boy.
 The tug Sanford returned to the scene of the disaster yesterday, but could find no traces of the missing men, all of whom are given up as drowned. The barges encoun- tered the full fury of the gale after passing New Haven Harbor.

Enacfa of 1he Wind-

The high wind of Monday blew down quite 8 large tree in front of Roth's saloon on State street near Audubon late on Monday night. It was snapped in two near the ground.
 The wind also tore off about 400 square feet of the tin roofing of the residences Nos. 549 and 551 Howard avenue. It happened in the night, severely frightening some of the dwellers in the houses, who thought the whole roof was gone.
 About forty feet of fence on York street, between George and Oak streets, was blown down.
 A very large willow on Sperry street suc- cumbed to the gale. It was torn up by the roots and laid sprawling across the street. A maple tree on Lafayette street was blown down, and one on Blake street. The park commissioners carts picked up several loads of broken tree branches yesterday.

The City Hall J Janttorsh1p.

The resolution introduced by Councilman Gallagher at the meeting of the Board of Councilmen on Monday evening, that ''ths City Auditor, with the approval of the Mayor, be and he is hereby requested to appoint ianitor of the portion of the City Hall used by the city and of the police building,'' met with decided disapproval. The passage of the undebatabIe motion to table the resolu- Sion without giving Mir. Gallagher an instant to explain his reasons for offering it was. said a weI:-known lawyer of this city yesterday, hasty. The city charter provides (section 191 that the Auditor ssshalI contract for and nroyide the necessary fuel. furpiture, sta- tionery and incidental articles and services required for the different offices and depart ments, subject to the approval of the Mayor." Nowhere is the Court of Common Council given any voice or power concerning the cleaning or repairing the city buildings. It is for the faithful performance of these du- lies as well as the accurate keeping and aud ifine of the city accounts that the Auditor is required to give bonds in the sum of $2o, ,ooo.

 A regular meeting of the Board of Select men was held last evening Present, Select men Reynolds (presiding), Feldman, Beecher and Crawford.
 Michael McGovern, owner of one hun dred and fifty foot lot on Ferry street in the Annex, was before the Board for informa- ton regarding the widening of the street He said he contemplated building on the loe and before doing so would like to know if the town proposed to carry out the widening. If the proposed widening was carried out he would expect to receive benefits. The Board looked over the map, and after doing so de- cided that nothing would be done this winter.
 MT. Reynolds said that there had been 8 great clamor to have the road improved.
 Mrs. Speatle, a German woman, applied for the release of Catherine FrOelisch from the aImshouse. She desired her services at her home. As there was not full Board pres ent the matter was postponed.

 The enrolling officers came before the Board as notified and received their instruc- tions from Town Agent Reynolds and their books for making the enrolment. The oth- cers were unanimous in their opinion that the pay they receive for their work with the in- creased duties required of them called for an increase of pay. It is understood that but few changes have been made in the pay of the enrolling officers since B. F. Mansfield was Town Agent, and as the population has in creased they feel that their pay should be increased accordingly Ths mattersw went over for the consideration of full Board.

Opening Of the Windsor.

The opening of the 'sWindsor" on Union street last evening by the Messrs. Chad bourne, which is the famous hostelry for so many years occupied by Norman Rood, was a grand success. It was visited by hun dreds of friends of the proprietors, who were handsomely entertained. The house has been thoroughly overhauled and re- fitted and the managers will endeavor to re- tain the former popularity of this well known resort. The present owners and pro- prietors are young men who propose to faithfully study the wants of the public and to cater to their wishes in such a manner as shall give entire satisfaction. They will keep the best of everything, and having had long experience in the business will be able to fulfill all their promises. It would seem that their success is insured from the afark
