Winding up the Business for the Year
 Several Parties Heard.
 The Committee on Claims held meeting last evening, Alderman Munson presiding.
 The first petition heard was that of Charles Shannahan, who claimed damages for land taken for the widening of Blatchley avenue at the junction of Jackson and Clay streets and Ferry Path. Earliss P. Arvine appeared as counsel for the petitioner.
 Parties representing the estate of John Hanrahan appeared and asked that the city abate the taxes on piece of property in Fair Haven on the grand list of 1878, 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1883, the ground of poverty.
 E. c. Dow appeared as attorney for Frede- rick Potter, whose horse broke through a plank on Gainesville bridge and was injured in the legs and back. He asked for $100 damages.
 Mrs F. L. Loomis asked that the tax of 1882 on her husbands property be refunded and that the tax for 1883 be abated The ground on which the petition was based was that Mr. Loomis was in the army and was a pensioner.
 John D. Stirrup asked for the removal of a lien on his property which was placed there on account of widening North Front street He claimed that he had already set tied with the city.
 s. H. Street asked for an abatement of tax on the business of s. H. Street & Co., for 1881, which it was claimed had been assessed three times above it's value. The town has already made partial abatement.

In reply to Patron in yesterdays CoUR- TER, MT. Bunnell writes: The crowding and pushing of which Patron complains has been source of anxiety to me, and could ] make my patrons understand the means talk en to obviate it, there would be no further cause for complaint. Many flock to the low CT end of the museum, being attracted by mechanical marvels, optical Illusions, etc., and from force of habit rush to the narrow door leading into the hallway, forgetting that since my museum has assumed such gigantic proportions. I have been obliged to make another exit to the auditorium whereby the visitors can continually pass from the mu- scum to the theater, giving them double the amount of exit room than entrance. There fore there is no reason for a so-called jam unless they choose to make it themselves, which is often the case. As, for instance, at the Wednesday matinee the house was quite full and seven-eighths were ladies who congregated early, g half-hour ahead of time. Aware of that fact opened ahead of time to avoid the great rush, hoping to save any annoyance. But they crowded all the more and this crowd was composed of ladies of the highest order.
 would like suggestions from my friends how to dispose of case like this in order to avoid being censured for crowding; also any thing to improve the comfort and safety of my patrons.
 Little hints from any interested citizens communicated to me concerning the above will be cheerfully received with thanks.

A YALE STUDENT ROBBED.

COlored Girl Arrested on Suspicion.
 Yesterday afternoon the police arrested Emma Bell Raymond, colored girl in the employ of Mrs. Henry M. Sykes, who keeps a students boarding house on High street. We'd nesday evening when Edward W.Peet, a Yale junior who boarded with Mrs. Sykes, went to supper he hung his overcoat containing $50 in one of the pockets in a room adjoining the dining room. When he put on his coat and felt for the money it was gone. The loss was reported to the police, who after some investigation became suspicious that the young colored cook had something to do with the disappearance of the money. R. L. Lips tond, young colored man from Philadel- phia who has been keeping company" with Miss Raymond for the last two or three years, was also mixed up in the affair.
 Lipstond was brought to police headquar- ters yesterday morning and detained until the matter could belooked up He told story which inclined the police to believe him innocent. He said that he walked with Miss Bell last evening from MT. Sykes to her home in Webster street, and that before leaving her she gave him $10 bill in return for money which he loaned her some time ago. She promised him the money last week. Where she got it she did not tell him. In Lipstond's pockets were found a $10 bill and $3.25 in change.
 The Raymond girl was taken to the police station by Detective Reilly yesterday after noon. She denied the theft and took her ar rest very coolly. Her statements were con- tradictory, she at first denying that she gave iApstond any money and then admitting that she gave him $5. She had no money of any account on her person.
 Hesterday afternoon Detective Reilly made second visit to the girls house to see if he could find the missing money in her trunk or among her other personal effects The detective was unsuccessful in his search.

Hardened Young Girls.

A reporter on morning paper being nee essarily about town good deal during the night sees and hears many things, some of which are as unusual and shocking as they are unpleasant. Bat it is seldom that any thing so terrible greets the ear of the report CT as did last night, when he heard two young girls, neither of them over fourteen years of age, talking and mingling their talk with oaths which but few men would dare utter as they passed up Court street about nine o'clock. They were laughing, too, and did not seem to think there was anything unusual in their actions. There is a good field for missionaries among such hardened young girls who roam about the streets at night and initiate pretty much all the vices of their brothers
