BOARD OF SELECTMRN,
The Subject of Junk Dealers License
 Under Consideration.


 Under Considerations.
 A regular meeting of the Board of Select men was held last evening. Present, Select men Tyler (presiding), Reynolds, Feldman, Treat, Klenke and Brown.
 The Board considered the subject of junk dealers licenses under the law passed by the last legislature, which provides that chiefs of police may issue such licenses for cities and Selectmen may issue them for towns. The question under consideration was whether 8 man who had received license from the Selectmen for the town which covered the city as we'll, could be com pelled to take out another to do business within the city limits. Again, it was found that no penalty is attached for not taking out license, and the question was, what could be done with man who refused to take out license provided he was arrested The law seems to be poorly drawn and it was the opinion of the Board that it would be well to consult counsel in regard to it before acting upon it's provisions.
 Sylvester Keohane, the town joiner, asked that his pay be increased to thirty cents sn hour as fixed by the Carpenters union. Ths request was granted.
 The tour of inspection of almshouses to be made by the committee on the part of the town, who have under consideration the erac- tion of new almshouse buildings on the Springside farm, was talked over. The oom- mittee will start on Thursday at a. m., going to Hartford, Worcester, Boston and Providence in the order named, reaching New Haven the return Friday night or Saturday morning.
 Bills for the week were approved and the Board then adjourned.

To-day Justice Ullman will hear evidence in the case of Mrs. Davis, of this city, against Carrie Bailey, also of this city, to for board and other necessaries. John Hitchcock, of Southing- ton, is her overseer, which differs from that of con.
 ervaor in that he has charge of her property only and not her person. The point to be decided is whether Hitchcock has right to appear in the suit codefendant. The liability of Miss Bailey to pay the claims against her will be an after considera tion.

A SILK HAT RUINED.
Clerk Munger of the SeIden House is Justly Indignant.

Clerk Munger of the SeIden House is
 Justly Indignant.
 The genial clerk of the Selden House, Frank E. s. Munger, bought recently a brand new $7 tile. Last evening at o'clock it looked az if it had been through the wars It bore a huge and yawning dent, and other wise it's glory was diminished. Clerk Nun ger said he was the victim of an unprovoked and heinous assault at the hands of James c. Shannon, a drummer for New York oil firm boarding at the Selden House, but who left recently, according to Clerk Munger, be- cause he could not have either Lyonnaise or baked potatoes (Mr. Munger forgot which, for breakfast. Hence his ire at Clerk Nun ger, who says further: I was sitting on the rail in front of the house when Shannon came up in an intoxicated condition and struck me two blows under the chin and one that spoiled my new silk hat. MT. Munger, seeing the condition Shannon was in, did not retaliate and the latter departed, evidently ashamed of himself for striking a man una wares.

THE FOOT GUARDS.

Meeting Last Evening-Lfeutenant
 Johnson Again DeclInes-As Yet No
 New Captain Captain Morse-An
 Outside Man Talked Of.
 The Second company Governors Foot Guards held another election last night at the Union armory and fer the second time elected First Lieutenant Johnson to the cap- taincy, Lieutenant Johnson again declining, though warmly approaching the honor and mark of satisfaction and esteem. Captain Morse is, therefore, still commander, his res ignation having been accepted by Governor Harrison with the proviso that he remain in charge until successor should be found. Captain Morse has had command of this fine organization for seven years, and choosing 8 time when the company was up to the high est standard rendered his resignation, his in- creasing market business in Fair Haven mak- ing it less convenient for him to give the same attention to the work as formerly It is now hinted that as Lieutenant Johnson is firm in not accepting the captaincy, an out side man will be selected, but who it is is not yet disclosed. Captain Morse's command has covered one of the brightest periods of the Foot Guards long history, and he will retire with fine record. The Charleston, s. C., trip of the company made under Cap tain Morse will ever figure as a memorable event in the company's history.

 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 The New York News says of We, Us & Co.,. which is to be produced at this opera house on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sstur- day afternoon: To say that "We, Us & Co., is funny but half expresses the true criticism of the play, and viewed in it's proper sphere it stands pre-eminent, for there has been nothing of it's kind yet seen in this city that can compare with it without suffering much by comparison. To criticise the performers individually would also be invidious, for each excels in his own peculiar style.
 THE MAGISTRATE.
 This new and successful comedy by A. W. Pinero will be produced at the New Ha- ven Opera House this and tomorrow even ings by the Boston Museum company The Boston Journal says; The first impression of this piece, as of most English importations. is that decided merit is necessary to neu- tralize any drawbacks on account of it's local limitations. The popular run of the piece must be accounted for by the drollery, which at times approaches to farce in the dialogue and situations, and which can be effective only in so far as it causes the critic to relax hia nations fha claims nf nflOIOa1jtv onl probability If the purpose of the playwright is to create laugh by means of odd outlines of character and incident, it is certainly &C., complished here.
