D., who had from the beginning given instruction in the school in ecclesiastics, re- moved to Middletown and became one of the resident professors. About four thousand volumes of his large and valuable library had been deposited for many years with the school, and soon after his coming to Middle town the remaining ten thousand were ac- quired by the school. The whole library is now somewhat above seventeen thousand volumes" The funeral will take place on Wednesday afternoon from his late residence and the interment will be made at Indian Hill cemetery, the services to be held in Di- yinity school chapel

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.


 Columbus Avenue and Washington Street To He Improved-Encroach ments On Brewery Street To Re Re- moved.
 special meeting of the Board of Public Works was held last.evening. Present, His Honor Mayor Holcomb, Messrs Gilbert Ore siding), Feldman, Reilly, Crawford, Stack pole and Fuller.
 George w. Curtis appeared before the Board and asked for permission to remove some earth from the corner of Whitney avenue and Humphrey street. The request was referred to ths superintendent of streets and city engineer.
 John Coyle appeared and asked that Washington street and that part of Colum- bus avenue from the Derby railroad bridge to West sriver be put in good condition for travel. The opinion of the Board seemed to be that these roadways should be top dressed with stone and gravel. To this end the matter was referred to the Committee on Streets with power to act.
 Corporation Counsel Driscon appeared be- fore the Board and stated that he had noti- fled parties having encroaehments on Brew cry street to remove them. The Derby rail road company had removed their building, and the Smith brothers were about to re- move theirs, but the Starin encroachments were being removed very slowly. He said that the agents of the Starin line had said that they were going to remove the encroach- ments soon as they could get their men here frem Glen Island to do the work. He said he wrote a plain letter to Mir Starin last Friday, telling him that he felt as though he had given him all the time he could, and should feel obliged to proceed very soon to cause the encroachments to be removed as ordered by the Court of Common Council MT. Starin replied by telegraph yesterday attention.
 It was voted that the city engineer be in structed to prepare plans and get proposals for building plank walk on the south side of Brewery street from Starin dock to Long Wharf, the same to be acted upon at the next meeting of the Board. Adjourned

NEW YoRK, June go During the opening hours of business on the Stock Exchange to-day from Il o'clock until noon the stock market was active and firm under the lead of St. Paul and Louisville & Nashville both of which were actively bought. At the latter hour the prices of the stocks named showed advance of one per cent, while several of the other leading speculatives were fractionally higher There were no developments of any kind to which the advance could be attributed and the more conservative of the brokers expressed the belief that the strength of the market was artificial and largely due to manipuIation The market continued firm up to 1:3O o'clock, but the changes insignificant Just before the second call the bears made drive at Lackawanna, Jersey Central and the Wander bilts and assisted by nexplicable break of 23s per cent in West Shore bonds succeeded in sending prices down at a rapid rate. At 2 o'clock the de- cline ranged from A to 112 per cent. The market continued weak throughout the final hour and prices steadily declined under brisk slling up to the close of business when the bottom figures of the day were current. As compared with Satur- day's closing the decline ranged from Ii to per cent. The specialties neglected. The sales aggregated 204, 900 shares.
 Money closed easy at fa115 per cent.

Their Late Trf1,.

L. A. Horton, A. s. Welch and D. S. Tyr
 Till of this city, who were in Denver, Col, !,
 last week representing the P. O. s. of A. of
 this State, write in glowing terms of their reception in Denver. They joined the Penn sylvania delegates at Philadelphia, the entire
 party numbering twenty-one. On their ar rival in Chicago, where stop was made of seven hours, members of the order in that city decorated their car in handsome man. ner, one of their assistants being A. P.
 Smith, formerly of this city. Many pleasing things regarding the trip have been written home by them, but the one most enjoyed is that while the delegation were seeing Chicago someone telegraphed ahead that President Cleveland was bound West and would pass along a certain route; consequently large crowds were at several stations to see the President, the party not knowing of the joke until they saw the crowd and inquired what it meant. The Colorado State camp are spending about $3, 1000 entertaining the na- tional representatives, and western papers give glowing accounts of the order, the re- captions, excursions and of the men present The Connecticut brothers are expected home this week.
