BOARD-OF PUBLIC WORKS.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS..
Bids opened For a TeIford Pavement
The Contract Awarded-Other Mat
tiers of Public Interest.
regular meeting of the Board of Public
Works was held last evening. Present,
Messrs. Gilbert (presiding), Feldman, Stack
pole, Crawford, Holcomb and Pond.
Bids for constructing "a Telford pavement
on Court street between Orange and Church
streets were opened as follows:
P Bowling, 81 96 per square yard.
r. Conner, S1.97 1-2 per square yard.
Q. w. Blakeslee & Son, 81. "a Upper square
yard.
G. Pohlman $1.97 per square yard.
The contract was awarded to G. w Blakes-
lee & Son, they being the lowest bidders.
Joseph Sheldon appeared before the Board
in regard to the proposed change of the line
of Dixweu avenue, petition having been
signed for change in the line
some time since Mr. Sheldon opposed the
proposed change, as did also Henry Munson,
who lives in the town of Hamden. The
latter said he did not see any advantage to
be gained and it would be "a great disad-
vantage to him, as he would have to remove
some trees that he considered very valuable.
No action was taken.
The order for the removal of the stone
posts at the entrance of the Green and
Wooster Square was referred to the Super
interdent of Parks with power to act.
Relay of sidewalks in various parts of the
city were referred to the Superintendent OF
Streets, and the clerk was instructed to mott
fly. parties Crosswalks were also ordered in
various localities
The president of the Board was instructed
by vote to sign all contracts on behalf of the
city sent to the Board of Public Works
This motion arose from the fact that while
the president had usually signed these con
tracts, yet during the past year no authority
had been given to said officer.
The Board considered estimates of the de
partment for the year 1885 and then ad
journed.
The Board voted to discharge all the men
employed at the stone crusher works this
morning fifteen in number. The reason fol
this action is the fact that the Board OF
Councilmen at its meeting on Monday even
ing refused to concur with the Board of AL
dermen in a transfer of unexpended balances
to the stone crushing department.

he can only iken the treatment adopted as a
relic of barbarism. In the upper fiat in a
small room he found sixty men confined, all
under restraint, handcuffed, and strapped to
chairs. In other parts of the building he
found cells without windows and with
wretched ventilation. In totally dark cell
he discovered a man stark naked lying on
straw and handcuffed to belt; in another a
man deaf and dumb, similarly manacled,
without bed or bedding. The women's room
he described as a chamber of horror, and
even more terrible than the part where the
men are kept In conclusion he says it is
amazing that a colony of England can pre-
sent such a spectacle as he has described.
The asylum here is under the charge of the
nuns, and government inquiry will be in

ago when verdict was rendered in favor of
Mr.. Archer for $4,000. The company ap-
pealed and the judgment was reversed. The
second trial of the case was had to-day, the

The Result In West Vtrgfnia-A Re.
duced Democratic Majority With
Large Republican Gains.
WHEELING, W. Va, Oct. 15.-Up to this
afternoon the Republican managers were still
hopeful of having carried the State, as the
returns from the interior districts were slow
ly coming in and indicated almost universal
gains for them The vote in the large towns,
however, has not been overcome and with
additional information from counties where
the same ratio of Republican gains were ex-
pected but not obtained, the State is now
conceded to the Democrats. The returns are
very meager and unsatisfactory. At Fair
mount at 10 O'Clock to-day only 237 votes
had been counted of the SOB polled. Those
counted gave Maxwell Republican Greenback)
for Governor $50 and Wilson Dem.) 81. Com
plete returns from Pleasant county gave VIII
son 708, and Maxwell $50. Incomplete re
turns from Ohio certainly indicate the cleo
