State Reform School.

Messrs. Locke, Hatch and Goodall of the
Governors Council visited the Reform
School yesterday. Mrs. Hunt was prevented
from attendance by illness. The gentlemen
were very much pleased with the condition
of the school, and state that the improve
ment for the past three years has been very
marked. There were fewer letters than US
ual from the boys, bat all of them showed
the writers had risen to the highest class, or
were determined to get there, and also
showed an ambitious spirit that could not be
too highly commended The fact that Mrs.
Hunt has succeeded in obtaining good situa-
tions for bows of merit who have left the
school, and that these boys have written to
their old comrades, showing how pleased
they are with their success has had great eff
feet upon the morals of the institution.

THE sALEMs DEFEATED BY THE BILIOUS.
There was a fair audience at the Bijou
Skating Parlor last evening to witness the
polo game between the Bilious of this city
and the Salems of the Central Massachu-
sets League. When the referee sounded his
whistle the visitors entered into the game
with vim, seeming to bewilder the home
club, and won the first goalin three minutes
by an easy shot. After this the Bilious woke
up, but no science was shown either by
them or the Salems, through the entire
game, both clubs playing more to get the
ball into the cage than to play polo as it
should be. When it came to that, the Bij1us
had better staying qualities and won the
victory. The Salems got the second goal in
twelve minutes, and the home team the Aext
three goals, in five, five and three minutes
respectively. Pickett did some good work in
the fourth goal.

NEW YoRK's BRIsE TAKERS.
A Remarkable State of Affairs Just
Made Public.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Now that most Of the
bribe takers of the board of Aldermen of 1884
are safely in the clutches of the law, the people
of this city breathe easy once more and begin TO
have faith that justice will be meted out to the
guilty ones. The announcement of the arrests
Yesterday, was greeted with universal satisfaction
everywhere. The excitement in political circles
has not abated, and the arrest of Jacob Sharp was
hourly expected this morning. The arrests of
yesterday was forced by the flight of ex,alderman
DeLacy, who all along has SAID he would testify
before the Senate investigating committee when
wanted. Aided by specious promises and the
cunning of his lawyer, he escaped. This opened
the eyes of the authorities and they at once de-
termined to secure the rest of the board. On
Friday the aldermen will be arraigned and as has
been stated will plead not guilty. Charles H.
Reilly, the last of the board wanted and within
the jurisdiction Of the court, was arrested this
morning at o'clock.
A remarkable state of affairs was made public
yesterday, by the adjournment of a meeting of
the sinking fund commissioners. Two of the
members were absent, one giving bail in the SUM
of $4,000 charged with brfbe taking. The other
for accepting brbes in his judicial capacity. The
two men were Aldermen O'Neil and Recorder
Smyth.

corruption in local politics. No attention was
paid to it, as the same charge is made against so
many Democrats that it is common. Then
Democratic State Senator named Wier filed spe-
