THE PUBLIC CEMETERY.
Meeting of the Committee Last Even ing-A Public Hearing to be Has Next Week.


 ing-A Public Hearing to be Had Next Week.
 The committee appointed by the Common Council to inquire and report as to the needs of a public cemetery held a meeting in rooms 10 and Il City Hall last evening. There were present of the committee Alderman Daley (presiding), Alderman Reilly and Councilmen Lum and Whately. The business consisted principally in read ing reports, mostly of a statistical nature, regarding the different cemeteries in this city.
 Alderman Daley reported that the Wash ington cemetery, afterward changed to Ever green cemetery, was opened in 1S48. The l first purchase by the association was plot Of land containing thirteen and one-half acres at cost of $1 ,970. The first grave was opened | Nov 29, 1848. The stock of the association | was originally divided into three hundred shares at $10 each and the purchase was add ed to from time to time until it's area is now about forty acres. The approximate cost is estimated in this way: First, a plot of foul I and one-half acres of high priced land was held at $1 per square foot; second plot of ! two acres on the east side now being | filled is held at from $100 to $200 per lot: third, there is southeast corner of about one acre, which the association is now laying out, in which the price of lots will be about $50 each.
 Councilman Lum reported that the Jewish cemetery was purchased in 1840, 8 tract of 100 by 460 feet being obtained. This had been added to until the present cemetery contains about three and half acres. The first interment was made in 1S42. The prices of burial lots at present range from $75 to $2OO. Additional grounds have been recent | iy purchased at an expense of $5, ,0O0, so that now it is estimated that ample room is pro- vided for the next 25 years. The Jewish society seemed perfectly satisfied with their arrangements and did not favor public cemetery to be under the control of the | city.
 Professor Brewer, who was present, sug- gested that if a public cemetery was to be opened that provision be made for 8 crema- l tory. This is bound to come sometime and | those he has spoken to about it favor the l idea.
 1 Alderman Reilly thought it would take l considerable time to educate the people up tc \ the crematory idea.
 It was voted, after discussion, to give 2 public hearing on the subject next Wednes- | day eveninC.

Mack and Gilmore, the celebrated "bone" battery of the Hartfords, have joined the Newarks.
 President Ballard of the Eastern league has written to President Whitney of the Hartfords asking if his club desires admis- sion to the Eastern league for the coming season. If so, he says, it will be well to make formal application without delay, as he has number of applications already and he does not propose waiting until late before having the league completed for the season of 1SS6
 Smith of the NewaIks recently struck out fourteen of the Nationals and only two hits
 were made off him, while the Newarks hit
 safely ten times. In spite of this the Ma
 tionals won.
 Detroit's reason for paying $7,000 for Buff falo's franchise is probably found in the fact that they thereby secure Brouthers and Rowe White and Richardson. It is said that Buffalo will go out league city next sea- son and will be content with the State league. Anson of the Chisagos is the first baseman in the league to make his 1,000th put out. He was also the first one last year. Games yesterday: At Chicago, Chicagos 12,

The Supreme court has reversed the decis- ion of Judge Bennett in the Court of Com mon Pleas, Hartford county, in the of s. D. Newell vs. Newton Smith, giving the case to Newell. The facts are interesting Newell sold Smith COW, the price of which was to be $40 if she proved not to be with calf at the time of the sale and $100 if with calf. After some months, both parties be- lieving that sufficient time had elapsed to determine the question, and from the appear ance of the animal both believed she was not with calf, Smith paid the $40. Soon after ward the COW dropped a calf and Newell sued for the balance, $60. Smith defended, claim ing that the payment of $40 was a full settle ment. Judge Bennett so held, but the Su- preme court held otherwise, on the ground that there was mistake of fact by both parties.
