 field; A. H. Kellam, New Haven. Mir. Nor
 ris F. Tyler made the leading speech of the evening.
 MT. Tyler said that although there would be no toasts, as it was merely an informal af- fair, he would say 8 few words about the
 work of the company. The board of dlrec-
 tors thoroughly understood, he said, that the success of the company depended upon the outising managers. There had been ID no instance clash between the directors and the managers. These two bodies worked together harmoniously. The company ap- rreciated the efforts of the managers
 MT. Tyler went back in review upon the history of the company to the time In 1878, when Mir. Herrick F. Frost showed him an exhibition of two telephone wires. Now there was one man then managing the con nection, now there are over two hundred That was the beginning of the exchange sys- tenn of the world. The growth of business here was rapid. Two hundred and nine sub scribers were entered in two months Of that number only twenty-three have stopped in six years because they didn't like it or couldn't afford to pay for it. All the rest either used it now or had moved away. The company's income in February, 1878, was $25O; in October, 1883, $2s. 233. The in come of the first week in the present year was $16, ,947 29. The income per day is now ten times greater than the income per month six years ago.
 MT. Tyler detailed the history of the com- pany and it's changes until the State was GOV cred. The business had a steady, solid growth. There hasn't been a month in the history of the company whera there has not teen net gain in telephones. Only one member of the company has been lost by death in the six years. Since the time when the old Connecticut company started in 1880 there were 23O subscribers, now there are about LIDO. In Hartford there has been 8 similar growth. Regarding the Bell suits Mir. Tyler said that there are three principal attacks upon the Bell patent. One is quiescent, testimony has been taken in the others. In the Overland suit the Bell has applied for an injunction. There is no de cision in that case The validity of the Bell patent would undoubtedly be sustained. The American Bell company has not taken pains to contradict the attacks made against it and circulated in the metropolitan press. The statement that they would not accept i'm provements in their apparatus was false.
 After Mir. Tyler's speech Messrs. Kellogg. Denver, Baker, Frost and others made short speeches.

Death of Congressman mackey.


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Representative E. W. M. Mackey, of South Carolina, died here this morning at 5 o'clock of peritonitis. The House adjourned at once upon the announce ment of the death, as is the custom. MT. Mackey was one of the few white Republi- cans in South Carolina who WAS able to main tain himself against the peculiar methods of the Democracy of that State, and he was possibly, under the new election laws, the last of his line. He was 8 man of much force of character, although he seldom took an active part in the debates. The announce ment of Mr Mackey's death, contrary to usual custom, was not made in the House by Q member of the delegation from the State which he represented. MT. O'Hara, of North Carolina, the only colored man in the House, made the announcement. This fact has caused some comment among the members. 1t is supposed that the reason for this unusual occurrence was that MT. Mackey was the only Republican from South Carolina The Senate also adjourned on account of the death of MT. Mackey. Six members of this Congress have already died.
