BOARD OF POLICE COMPASSION
 FRS.
Election of Second Class Supernumer- ar1es-A Talk About the Enforcement Ofthe Sunday Liquor Law.

1 Election of Second Class Supernumer- | ar1es-A Talk About the Enforcement Ofthe Sunday Liquor Law. A special meeting of the Board of Police I Commissioners was held last evening to hear the report of the special committee, Messrs. Bollman and Sloat, who were appointed to l select six men from the applicants for posi- | tions on the force to be supernumeraries of l the second class. The committee reported the names of ] Francis Sehamp, Isaac Shields, John Doran, | Henry Phillipi, John T. McGrath and Rich | ard Coogan.
 The report of the committee was accepted
 unanimously and the persons named were ap- pointed supernumerary policemen. Chief Webster asked the Board if it was understood that these men were to be used for duty on Sunday. He said that there was good deal of ball playing on Sunday in the outskirts of the city Again, while they had tried to enforce the Sunday law, it had not been his purpose to establish system of es- pionage. But when officers were passing liquor saloons that were thought to be open he had instructed the police to investigate and arrest the parties if there were violations of the law.
 IT, Board should be united If the chief de- sired instructions he should feel free to con- suit the members of the Board and they
 should direct his actions. General Sloat thought those who had op-
 posed the action of the chief in the enforce
 ment of the Sunday law were largely in the
 minority.
 Mr. Catlin thought the matter was deli
 cate one to handle. The men should not be
 instructed to stand around the corners and
 watch the saloons.
 Chief Webster said that the men had never
 been so instructed.
 Mr. Sheldon said there had never been
 more quiet Sabbaths in New Haven than
 since the Sunday law had been so rigidly en-
 forced. He thought the chief had handled this matter admirably, and he hoped he would not be interfered with in the discharge of his
 duties.
 After further informal talk the Board ad-
 journed.

GENERAL HOSPITAL SOCIETY,

Second Quarterly Meeting of Directors Statistics as Presented by the Secre- tary-The Cholera Question COns1d- .ered-A Temporary Enlargement Pro- posed.
 | The second quarterly meeting of the di- rectors of the General Hospital society for 1884 was held in the rooms of the Board of IIAolEh ii, tha nnlica I4l,ildi-e, 1-A~--~--:e5. The report of the secretary showed that during the past quarter there had been 1S9 patients admitted and 1S7 discharged. The deaths were 28. Daily average 118 2-10. Highest number in the hospital at any one time, 128; lowest Ill. The average number is not quite as large as the first quarter, but as high as the corresponding quarter of last year. The work has been severe in propor- tion to the number of patients, the capacity of the hospital at times being strained to it's
 utmost, it often being necessary to use the little pavilion ordinarily used for a work shop.
 During the quarter there were six births at the institution.
 The total receipts for the quarter were SS,- 679.27 and expenditures $11 ,O15.96. This large apparent deficit is due to the purchase of coal, which comes this quarter at an out lay of $2, ,4O6 50.
 The prudential committee asked the board of directors for instructions as to what they should do in case of an outbreak of cholera the rules of the hospital making no provision in such case.
 It was voted to add cholera to diseases not admissible and that the secretary be in
 structed to inform the Board of Health of
 this action. This vote was passed in order to reassure the public, particularly those who
 have friends in the hospital and might become alarmed if they thought it possible to admit cases of cholera, although the dis
 ease was not considered by the physicians as
 so contagious as generally believed. The crowded state of the hospi- tai during the present year obliged the prudential committee to
 bring up again the question of enlarging the
 building. As a difficulty has been expert enced in obtaining money to build a brick addition, it was thought advisable to pro- vide temporary wooden structure that can
 be used for some other purpose when the permanent building is secured. The pru..
 dential committee were instructed to procure plans and estimates for 8 building large enough to accommodate twenty-two patients. The special committee on ventilation re- ported that they had requested Prof w P Trowbridge, of the New York School of Mines, to investigate the matter and lay his plan of investigation before the directors As the details were not fully completed it was recommitted and vote of thanks was ex- tended to Professor Trowbridge for his ser vices which were offered without charge

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 On Sunday of last week there appeared at one of the boat houses at Lake Whitney an individual surmounted by an immense East Indian helmet. By the bystanders he was taken for Stanley, the African explorer, or Chinese Gordon. He wished to keep boat of his own at one of the boat houses, and when informed that there was no room wished to fairly force storage upon the proprietor Of the house. A day or two previous in company with young lady he had hired boat, and through the fascination of the beautiful lake had stretched out..his time to half day. He ! wanted the best boat, used it, and received ! the regular discount for long time, with liberal amount of overtime thrown in. The l following Sunday an article in regard l to Lake Whitney appeared in one of the city | Sunday papers. Monday afternoon another 1 helmeted individual appeared. He resembled
 Michael Strogoff, the Russian courier. | But Mike lives in Russia and it wasn't him. | He asked many questions, propounded con | undrums, wanted to keep boat for his use, | was informed that there were no accommo- l dations. Then he announced, 'I am re- porter for morning paper" The article in l the Sunday paper had been sent broadcast 1 over the country by the Associated Press l He wished to know some facts of the case to
 write up an article for his paper. Facts were given him by the agents of the Water company at the lake, and he was respectfully 1 referred to President Dawson for further in
 formation. The following morning the facts l came into print with the usual distortion and exaggeration.
 On Wednesday both boat houses were in-
 vaded by the same individuals, one to each
 house. They rowed out on the lake for
 awhile, came in and F'by chance" met as a
 committee of two in secret consultation in
 the rear of the ice house, while they ex-
 claimed in tragic voice, ''We have made an official examination" Thursday morning an
 article appeared in the morning paper CNews) entitled 1.-The complaints of Q ten
 dollar-a-week clerk" Also a few lines in
 the editorial columns in regard to Lake l Whitney. This conspiracy to create a dis
 turbance about Lake Whitney (through spite
 by a reporter and his friend is going a little
 out of the line of good and fair journalism
 In conclusion, the fine boats on the lake are
 of the most expensive make, and are unex,
 celled for neatness. The prices are reasona
 ble, which is acknowledged by people who
 visit the lake from all parts of the country ! And at present the water in the lake is in ai
 fine condition and clear it ever was since
 the existence of ''Lake Whitney,"
 FAIR PLAY.

ARREST OF A MINISTER.

He Is Charged With EEmbezzIement
 From D. Appleton GC Co.
 Rev. Andrew J. Chambers, former pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. Zion church, was ar rested last evening charge of embezzle- ment by bailee. The complaint is brought by D. Appleton 6 Co.,, of New York, who claim that Mir. Chambers bought set of their encyclopedias some months ago, and not only refused to pay for the same, but went further and sold them.
 Mr. Chambers to reporter of the COURIER last evening said that he ordered the latest edition of the encyclopedia from the Apple tons and they sent him the edition of 1875, in which there were only fourteen pages of additions to the work. He paid them part in advance, as he says, and then told them that the books were not what he wanted and asked them to take the books and refund the amount he had paid This they did not do, and he afterwards exchanged them for the 'FBrittanica," which he considered better work He said he considered the arrest a persecution instead of prosecution, as he had courted the latter many times. He was locked up, but later gave bonds for his ap- pearance before the City court, John R. Grover being his bondsman.

A Pleasant Sail and Fine Catch O1

A Pleasant Sail and Fine Catch of Ffsh-BIafne vs. Cleveland.
 The excursion steamer Ivernia steamed away from her wharf Thursday morning with merry party of forty on board bound for Kimberly's reef, little east of Faulkner's
 Island, to try their luck at fishing. The
 weather was fine and all that could be de-
 sired. After enjoying a delightful sail of two
 hours the party arrived at the reef, and at
 once commenced fishing. Their hooks had not
 reached bottom before they were seized by the hungry fish, which were suddenly landed safe on deck. The first one captured was a fine sea bass caught by J. E. Bishop, Esq. and the manner in which he hauled him in would do credit to an old fisherman. The next was a large blackfsh that unfortunately swallowed the hook attached to the line of Dwight Chipman, who, although at first con siderably excited, managed after several at te1npts to secure his prize. The experts were George Clark and Dwight Munsell, the former fishing as a Blaine man and the latter as Cleveland. Clark won, catching eight sea bass and one EEcunner." Munse1 got eight bass. Luzerne Barnes caught one fish. In all 67 fish were taken.
 After fishing about four hours and feeling well pleased with the success they had, the party decided to go to Thimble Islands for a while. Arriving at Pot Island at three o'clock and enjoying themselves for an hour or more ! they started for home, arriving at the wharf at six o'clock well pleased with the days en- \ joyment and anxious to go again soon. Among those that went were: J. B. Bishop, Dwight 1 Chipman, Wm. H. Moore, Charles fleming ! way, Justin B. Rowe, Orton Rose, T. G. w. \ Jefferson, E. A. Daniels, Wm. Benedict, Geo | Talmadge Leverett Doolittle, Frank John ! son, Geo. Jacobs, Henry Smith, Sherman | MunseIl, Lawyer Barnes, Geo. Clark. The \ party are so enthusiastic over fishing that | they will repeat the trip once week. Next ! week they go to Block Island

The New Haven Yacht Club-Their
 Third Annual Cruise-A Fine Concert
 Last Even1ng-A Large Attendance.
 The pretty, cosy club house of the New Haven Yacht club was the scene of a gay
 party last evening. The yachtsmen with their lady friends completely filled the am
 pie reception room and the broad verandas.
 The cool breezes from the harbor made it
 especially attractive after the heat of warm
 summer day. Many of the yachts prepar-
 ing for the cruise lay before the house. On ly one, the Vixen, was decorated, and this was gay with Chinese lanterns. Thomas or
 chestra of fifteen pieces was rendering the
 first summer concert given by the club. The
 programme was very attractive and the fine
 ly dressed ladies and gentlemen sat and lis
 tened and chatted and evidently highly en-
 joyed the music.
 The selections were frequently applauded,
 but the British PatroI' alone called for an
 encore. The piece was rendered again and
 even met with more favor than at first. Among the company were many of the citys prominent people. Some of them were:

Frequent absence from her home occasioned alarm and her arrest for disobedience follow ed. Judge Studley heard the case in cham bers, the young man who had been intimate with the girl being present as witness. Af- ter hearing the evidence Judge Studley sent the girl to the Industrial school at Middle town until she is 21 years of age.
