A Secret Conference.-The Decision Reached
 Sr Re0nrd to n New Bridge-The COnsOl-
 faated Road Make no Further COnces-
 siOns.
 Yesterday forenoon there was 8 private meeting of the town and city committees to consider further in regard to the offer of the Tomlinson Bridge company, or the Consoli- dated Railroad company, which is virtually one and the same, to the town and city to take the bridge ss 1t is with out cost and in it's place build 8 new iron structure. The municipal authorities have felt that the Bridge company, in addi- tion to the gift of the old tumble down structure, should also bear, propor- tionate part of the expense of the erection of new bridge and this proposition the company through it's representatives have invariably declined. The meeting of the municipal authorities yesterday was of an executive character, no reporters being ad- mitted, and the result of the conference was not made public after the adjournment In consultation with them were Corporation Counsel Driscoll, representing the city, and ex-Governor IngersOlI, representing the | town.
 In the afternoon the municipal authorities with their attorneys met the representatives of the Bridge company in the room of the Board of Public Works where another executive session was held. President Wat rous, Vice President Reed and B. H. Trow- bridge were present of the company. The conference continued from o'clock until af ter D. m., and from all the information that could be gained from members of the same it was without results. The company had no proposition to make different from the one previously made, and there the mat l far f0r the Dra6ant

Who Was to Blame?

A Jury of Inquest Investigates the White PoisOnIng Case-Thetr Verdict.
 Coroner Bollman decided to hold an in- quest in connection with the death of Henry White, who was poisoned at Sargent's factory last Saturday by taking by mistake silver plating chemicals. The jury viewed the body and then heard witnesses in the room of the Police Commissioners.
 John Carr testified that he was fellow workman of the deceased. He said that four men had been detailed by the foreman, Rich ard Martin, to filter the solution, an opera ton which is performed once month. The operation was described by the witness. The solution, which contains deadly chemicals, is poured into tub, and is then filtered back into the tub from which it is poured. It runs of through hose. The witness testi- fe that it has been general rule among the men having the Altering to do to first blow down the rubber hose; then fill it with water, which Is sucked up by the mouth, to give the fluid start, the hose acting on the principle of B siphon, after once the fluid is set agoing The tube being full of water it could be sucked into the mouth without injury, but without water the deadly chemical would be sucked in with a likelihood of fatal results as in Whites case.
 Other testimony was taken and the jury rendered @ verdict that White died by his own carelessness in sucking the deadly poison into his mouth and stomach, but they also found that the death was partly due to neg lect on the part of the contractor, Mir. Saw yer, and that the foreman did not properly supervise the work. The jury seemed to believe that the responsibility for the neglect to warn the men of the deadly character of the poison should be placed on the foreman. The evil dence showed that the foreman had warned the men, but that not man knew the actual danger Dr. Lindsley had said that ten drops was as fatal dose as larger quantity The brother of the deceased said that he himself had once got some of the solution into his mouth, but took camphor and suf- fered no i'll effects. Even he had not warned his brother. The testimony showed that but one warning had been given to the help, and some of the witnesses remembered noth- ing of the kind since year ago. The blame for the general ignorance as to the effect of the poison was attributed by the jury in their deliberations more to the foreman than to the contractor, as he was not at the time overseeing the operation. The jury consist, ed of c. s. Gum, Walter Leigh, Druggists Spalding and Sperry, and Messrs. Thorpe oT11

 Tha decline which sot in in the stock market Friday afternoon and continued throughout eatHr- day made further progress this nnorning.

The County 0 Commissioners.
Hearing in Thomas E. .Tvvftchell's Case
 Decision Reserved.

Hearing in Thomas Re TWftchel's Case
 Decision Reserved.
 The County Commissioners were in session yesterday, and the case against Thomas B. Twitchell, who is charged with selling intox- icating liquors to a minor named Herbert Calkins, who lives at 287 York street, the sale taking place at Twitchell's saloon on the West Haven shore, August l, was heard.
 Prosecuting Agent Dwight Futile first ex- anined Calkins. The witness said he was only eighteen years old and drank several classes of beer in Twitchelps saloon on that evening. He did not pay for the drinks for 1 the reason that he had no money. "A young man named Hayward settled all the bills. | Two young women, Mattie and Alice Barker, who live at 221 Portsea street, and are aged sixteen and twenty years respectively, were
 with Calkins and his friend. Hattie Barker testified that she drank three glasses of beer and her sister four glasses.
 They left the place about Il O'CLOCK at l night.
 Grand Juror Painter said that he prosecu- ted the four persons the following day in | West Haven for 8 breach of the peace. They had been complained of to him as being very noisy and boisterous while driving from the
 shore homeWard.
 l Mr. TWitchelI told the commissioners that | he was not at his saloon the evening in ques- ton until nearly II o'clock, and that if he | had been there it was not at all unlikely that l he would have sold the beer to CaEkins, for | he looked all of twenty-one years of age l However, he had been very particular in try l ing to discover who were minors and who were not.
 l Mir. Twitchell had several witnesses present | to testify to the good character of his place | but they were not introduced. The commissioners reserved their decision | until to day.
 MT. Twitchell claims that the proceeding 1 against him is malicious one.
