Dr. L. Kimbell at the Tontine Hotel if having the greatest success in curing the feet of our citizens of deep nerve corns, bun ions and ingrowing nails. We saw him per form operations upon lady who had suffer ed for years with both of her nails growing in the flesh on her great toes. She also had two deep-nerve excrescences on each of hel large toe joints and several corns on and be- tween the toes. We saw the doctor remove them all s'root and branch in few minutes without the slightest pain or disagreeable sensation Although great holes were seen where the corns and deep excrescences were taken out, yet no blood was drawn. The flesh was left clean and smooth, with no prospect of soreness or trouble hereafter, and ready for the shoes as soon as the operations were performed The doctor is certainly very skillful in his operations and everyone afflicted should lose no time in calling upon him. His charges are moderate and always made known to the patients before they are treated. Read his testimonials in another column.

BOARD OF SELECTmEN.

Consultation Between City and Town OmeiaIs-Quinntpiac Draw
 bridge to be RePa1red-B1lls App
 proved.
 Previous to the regular business of the Board of Selectmen last evening, a consulta- tion was held with a committee from the Board of Public Works consisting of Messrs Reilly and Crawford. City Engineer Hill was also present. The purpose of the meet ing was to consider the repairs of the Quin- nipiac drawbridge.
 Mir. Crockett, of the New Haven Concrete company, stated that the reason the concrete roadway which his company put down did not wear better was due to the bad weather prevailing at the time the work was done and the company received $100 less than the contract price owing to the condition of the concrete. He said his company would waive all claim for money due on the contract, and bid in competition with others for laying new concrete.
 The city engineer stated that asphalt would cost three times as much as concrete. MT. Crockett said his company would lay course of concrete one inch thick ,one-quar- ter of the material to be Trinidad asphalt, at six and half cents per square foot. The committee voted to award the contract to the Concrete company at the price named, and Engineer Hill was instructed to draw 8 contract.
 Engineer Hill stated that for the sidewalks a new flooring of yellow pine two and half inches thick would be required This he was instructed to contract for. The bridge will be closed to travel for few days, but there will be no obstruction to navigation. The question of opening the draw for the passage of sharpies was brought up, and after brief consideration the matter was dropped.
 The committee then withdrew and the Board proceeded with it's regular business Selsctman Beecher reported some of the catch basins in Westville ss needing atten- tion, owing to their being filled up with sand. The matter was referred to the Com mittee on Roads and Bridges. Town Agent Reynolds reported that Cap tain Landfsar, of Fair Haven, had about | two thousand bushels of Virginia oyster shells which he would sell at three cents bushel, and there was place that they could be used near the watering tank on the road | to Four Corners. The matter was referred | to Selectman Brown with power to act. Bills were approved as follows: General l account $97.25, outside poor $446.O7, roads l and bridges $312.50, new farm $1OS, ,bO. con
 struction account $23. 75, almshouse S5l.

The Leen1 Laber Tronb,as.

At Peck Bros. 6 Co., all the workmen who went out on the strike returned to work yes
 terday morning as they agreed to do and for time at least everything will probably run along smoothly.
 At the carriage shops there appears to be
 no change in the troubles. At Henry Hale
 & Co.'s the blacksmiths have taken away
 their tools. At Henry Hooker 6 Co.'s over
 forty non-union men are at work and most
 of the strikers have taken away their tools.
 At the other carriage factories where the men
 are out nothing new about the matter was
 heard by the proprietors, the situation still
 remaining the same.
 Chief of Police Bollman when seen last ev- ening would neither deny confirm the fact that several carriage manufacturers waited on him yesterday and consulted with him as a precautionary measure about the strikers in regard to the guarding of property in case
 the strike should possibly assume an alarm ing or theatening character.
 l' Several of the Knights of Labor were seen last evening after their meeting but they could not say whether they had decided to stand by the carriage makers in their strike or not, but presumed that they would.

AT EVERGREEN CEMETERY.

Preparations for the Vernal Verdure
 and Flowers-The Cemetery's Com.
 ing Enlargement-The Many Beauti-
 full Monuments.
 Superintendent Dorman at Evergreen cem etery has force of men at work putting the cemetery in complete readiness for the flow CTS that bloom in the spring. Turing is be- ing done, the lawns put in order, and the flower beds, shrubbery and ornamental plots of ground are receiving all necessary atten- tiOn. On all the pleasant Sundays for weeks past the cemetery has been visited by hun dreds of people. Chief Hendrick drove into the cemetery yesterday and inspected the condition of the fremen's lot, one of the most beautiful and finely located plots in the cemetery. There are thirteen graves of 6remen there and there is room for one hun- | dred graves. Each of the graves is marked | with a small headstone, all the stones alike ! The fine monument which stands in the cen | ter of the lot, crowned with life-size bronze \ statue of a fireman dressed for fire duty, cost I $7,000. Among the new monuments at the \ to the memory of the late Corne- ints has ., John D"'''s a 'oB D.viess or rhs rhs monument which has just been erected to his memory by his widow, and which was de signed and built by Thomas Phillips & Son I of this city, is massive sarcophagus about nine feet in length by four in breadth an6 six feet in height. It is very handsome monument with polished dies and polished columns one at each corner, with carved capitals. On the front is the epitaph, anG
 on one end is an incription to the memory
 of child. On the opposite end is ''D'' iI
 old English lettering. On the top of the mon
 ument lies beautifully carved laurel wreath
 The sarcophagus stands nearly overlooking | the meadows near the cute ! end of what was once th
 lake, now filled in, and the monument Ii
 very similar to that erected to the memor,
 of the late Lieutenant Governor Oliver F ! Winchester.
 The Evergreen cemetery, although opened
 less than forty years ago, is already very
 large city of the dead, and the lots in the olc ! portion were all taken up long since. Tht | new portion is nearly all taken up, and whe1
 the extension of the grounds takes place nt doubt the new land will be quickly taken The large number of new and costly monu ments in the southern portion increases year by year, and already the newest portion ii quite thickly studded with these beautiful monuments. The Anderson monument il It's grandeur and beauty is still an object oi interest to hundreds and has been viewed with special interest by hundreds of people ! from other places and other States

MT. Wallace was 87 years old, and born in Newtown in 1901, and, when quite young, learned the comb-maker's trade, which business he carried on successfully both in Newtown and this city.
