BOARD OF ALDERMEN,

Double Tracks For fine Horse Rail- roads Under Consideration - In. structiOns To The Corporation
 Counsel Regarding The Matter.
 The Board of Aldermen held a special meeting last evening to hear the report of the committee appointed to consider the pc tition of the New Haven and West Haven and the Fair Haven & Westville Horse rail road companies to lay double tracks.
 Alderman Daley from the committee re- ported preamble and resolutions in regard to the petitions of each company which were identical in their general provisions. The order relating to the petition of the West Haven company was in substance as fol- lows:
 Ordered, That tho corporation counsel favor the granting of the petition of the New Haven and West Haven horse railroad company to the General Assembly praying for amendment to their charter giving them authority to lay double track on Church street, provideds
 1. All of said proposed amendments which relates to the propelling of within the city limits by steam or any other motive power other than horses to be stricken out.
 2: Said company to lay stone pavement on Church street between the rails of each track and two feet outside, and forever to keep the same in good repair.
 'S The rail to be laid upon said double track to be approved by the Board of Public Works.
 4. Said eomeany to remove or be at the ex- pense of removing one-half the snow from Church street.
 5. A single car fare from any point in the city of New Haven to Savin Rock and from Savin Rock to any point in the city of New Haven not to exceed 15 cents, said provision to cover not only the main line of said com pany, but any and every other line owned or operated by said company.
 6. To transfer passengers from one of it's lines to any other line owned by said com pany without charge
 7. To run car every six minutes between Chapel street and the depot between the hours of am. and pm.
 8. A single cash fare within the city limits not to exceed five cents.
 9. If said proposed amendment to the charter of said company is not amended in accordance with each and every one of the foregoing provisions, then the corporation counsel is instructed to oppose the passage of said proposed amendment to the charter of said company.
 passed was as follows: That the New Haven and West Haven horse railroad company shall give any passenger desiring the same a transfer ticket from the corner of Chapel and Church streets to pass over the line of the Fair Haven & Westville horse railroad for the sum of three cents.
 The resolutions were discussed at consider able length, the principal opposition to them coming from Aldermen States and fleming way, both of whom were of the opinion that the requirements were too exactlng of the companies and would tend to hinder the carrying out of what all conceded to be a needed improvement

THE aIEE CLUB CONCERT
At Carii's Last NIght-A Large an Brilliant AudieIice-The Features C the Concert.

At Carii's Last NIght-A Large and
 Brilliant Audience-The Feattres of
 the Concert.
 The Glee club rishered in the gaieties of promenade week last night with its annual concert and nearly every seat in the house was tiled with the friends and admirers of the college bows. The club, fresh from it's recent western trip, was in fine form vocally and between the songs ornamented Bowai tch & Co., B furniture, with which the stage was furnished, with all the nonchalance of draw ing room habitues. The club is larger than usual this year, numbering twenty men, and there was proportionate gain in power on the forte passages. It is a remarkable club in having Ave high, pure first tenors; who scale the heights of tone incident to their part with ease and precision. The club is also remarkable in the possession of MT. Hinkle. The time when the whole club indulge in college fun seems to be passing way, but it doesn't matter as long as men like MT. Hin- kle can be found to make up the deficiency.
 To particularize the note worthy perform ances: Mazurka, which Mir. Shepard com posed for the club was done with more fin ish than when performed by last years club. The songs brought out TOT Ino nFSG IlIue were the "Wine Gallop," "The Long Day Closes" Mr. Hinkle's Sunday School Scholar" and it is safe to say that the two first were performed in nner that is sell dom surpassed, the effects of light and shade being handled in 8 delicate though artistic and firm manner. NIT. Adler's warbling has steadily improved since he has been in col lege and h1s performances last evening were especially pleasing.
 The Banjo club has now become a perma- nent institution, and very good addition it is to the concerts of the club. Their playing last evening pleased the audience exceedingly and brought out encores on both their selec- tions. The freshmen introduced their class numerals very prettily set in flowers upon screen, and for the first time they were al lowed to remain unmolested. The audience saw the point and applauded. The floral de- sign, which was very handsome, was the work of F. S. Platt, the florist.
 MT. Darling's solo was very prettily sung, as was MT. Georgers. The latter sang for an encore a very pretty song composed for him by MT. Shepard.
 If there is any general criticism to be of fered, it is that the club seem to be leaving the domain of college singing with all its re- sources of college humor and fun, a domain in which they hold undisputed sway, to ven pleasing music. If some of the time and eff fort devoted to drilling on this ambitious music were spent in originating and working up more songs of the peculiar college char acter the public would appreciate it.

The Condition of MT. Austin.

MT. E. Gilbert Austin's condition at late hour last evening was about the same as it had been during the day. While he was suffering no pain, yet his physicians could give but little encouragement of his recovery. While there is bare possibility that he may rally, yet the chances are very much against him owing to the brain trouble which has not been materially relieved.

Williamsport he spoke to an audience ol
5000 persons, and made brief speech at
Lockhaven. At this place, which is the
home of Mr.. Wolf, prohibition candidate
for Governor. he addressed 5000 people,
touching on the prohibition question, and
then turning aside TO discuss the condition
of colored laborers in the South, who he
claimed, were given no vote, no voice, no
influence, by the Democrats.
They keep the colured laborers, he said
Giving in huJs on starvation wages, and are
hurrying them by the millions into cOmpe-
tition with Northern men. The contest for
free labor in this country, or for adequate
compensation to labor in this country, is
going to he more fierce between the South
and the North and between the repub
and democratic parties than il has been for
the last quarter Of century, and if the
white laboriug men OF the North are not
Wiling TO engage In that contest on the side
OF good wages and prosperous times, then
the battle against them is hopeless"
