allowing these skunks who trade in

stabiss, jurors and courts will all join
heartily. in the work of performing

I am in favor of consolidation. I don't be- lieve in keeping but one set of books. I do believe that it is better that the city should control all affairs within the town limits.
 MT. Dewell then spoke fatteringly of the city
 Board of Finance, of their system and work.
 He had.n fault to find with the present
 members of the Board of Selectmen, but ob-
 jected to the system. New Haven, said MT.
 Dewell, has, in my opinion, outgrown the
 system of town government. During nine
 years the town has run up floating debt of
 $20O, 900, which could not have been done
 under the city form of government. The
 town tax was increased half mill on
 my motion at the last town meeting
 so that the floating debt might be reduced
 and finally wiped out. If I lived outside the these gentlemen do who now live in the town.
 But as I am situated, want one form of government, and I don't think it necessary that those living outside the city should pay
 more than they do now if this scheme is carried out unless they want the same bene-
 fits that the city now enjoys, and if they have them they should of course pay for them.
 MT. Dewell predicted that within the next century New Haven would have two hundred thousand inhabitants, and he submitted that this system of town meetings should be dis continued. The questionwhether the Selectmen had conducted their business properly and eco- nomically or not had nothing to do with the question. He wanted consolidation and should work for it as long he lived and teach his children to work for it after him. At 5 o'clock the hearing was closed for the day and will be taken up again tomorrow (Thursday) at p. m. It is thought the hearing will occupy the attention of the commitie ee for several afternoons to come, as both sides are fairly aroused and there ale
 many who are anxious to be heard on the subject.

Superior Court Civil Side - Judge
 Andrews.
 In the civil side of the Superior court yes terday afternoon Judge Andrews heard mo- tion in the case of Albert Plant, of Branford, vs the Boston & Albany railroad company, a suit on claim for $1 200 damages and $150 loss to business for delay in forwarding two carloads of strawberries to Worcester. Attorney Bennett, representing the railroad company, moved that the count asking for damages resulting from injury to business be stricken out, as such damages were too remote. Attorney Harrison represented Mir Plant and opposed MT. Bennett's motion. Judge Andrews decided that the plaintiff was entitled to prove his claim of damage to business also.
 Yesterday morning MT. Hamilton moved that he be allowed by the court to factorize on Receiver Russell of the defunct American Mutual Life Insurance company and National Life and Trust company, and bring suit against several creditors of the companies. Mr Hamilton stated that if he won these suits the old matter of his alleged appropria- tions of dividends that MT. Russell had paid him to pay over to creditors could be more easily disposed of than now. The court granted the motion.
 Judge Andrews reserved his decision yes terday in the case of Henry G. Thompson, of Milford, against the George w. Miles Fish company of Welch Point after the arguments in the case had been heard.

POLO LAST NIGHT.
New Haven Defeats Springfield.

New Haven DeIoats SpTAuSH01U.
 Lincoln rink was crowded last night to witness the polo contest between the Spring fields and New Ravens. The game was a fine one throughout and many brilliant plays were made by both sides. Currier and Dempsey of the home team did most of the work and they were well supported by the others of the team. Perkins played re- markab1e game throughout, as did Felton, the new player. The two goals made by Springfield were given to them on fouls by the home team. New Haven made her three goals by good playing. The decisions rem dered by Referee Burns seemed to be very unjust and he was repeatedly hissed during the game. At the conclusion of the game a crowd gathered about Referee Burns and it was thought he was being assaulted. The police were telephoned for and three officers were dispatched to the scene of the supposed riot. When the patrol wagon arrived with it's burden the crowd had dispersed and the services of the officers were not required.
 At Hartford last night the Hartfords de- feated the Meridens by a score of 3 to 1.
