BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Estimates of the Fire Department For the Coming Transformation Given
 Ihe Electric Light Company to Lay
 an Underground Conduit Through
 Chapel Street-COnfereRce to be Had
 to See About Providing For Tramp
 Routine Business.
 The board of aldermen held it's regular
 monthly meeting last night.
 z A resolution was passed authorizing the
 lamp committee to contract with responsible
 parties for the lighting of the city with nap- ths, gas and electricity for period of two years. g.
 David o. Twitchell, who owns three houses on Lamburton street and two on Button street, asked that he be awarded $1 ,000 for
 damage done to his property. He states that for long time Button street has been with out sufficient drainage and that whenever there is large rainfall the water runs into Button street from Rosette and Lamberton streets, and in consequence the water has overfowed and run into the cellars of said
 houses, washing in the walls and doing other damage. He further states that the reputa- tion of the houses has been seriously injured and that he cannot rent the same. In regard to Mir. Buttons claim commu- n1caL1OQ was read rom me OOarQ or pQDnc works in which it is stated that the effectual l and permanent remedy for this overflow ! would be the construction of sewer in Lam I burton street from the Boulevard to Button ! street, and in Button street to the low point | in said street. This sewer is already ordered | but the available appropriation is not suffi- cient to enable the board of public works to | execute the order. The board petitioned for means for the immediate construction of said
 sewer. The appropriation needed is about | $10,000.
 The matter was referred to the committee on claims.
 Permission was granted the Electric Light \ company to construct an underground con- | duit from it's works on George street to
 Temple street, thence through Temple to Chapel street, and that in making the exca- vations in the streets they shall restore them to as good condition as before. The estimates of the fire department were | reoaivad and rafaT-rad kn fha hoard of finanoa.

THE DANBURY FAIR.
It Will Open To-Day - Everythl

1t Will Open To-Day Everything
 Points to the Most Successful Fair
 Ever Held in N ew England.
 The Danbury fair opens to-day. For the past few days the fair grounds have been the New England Mecca and to them the grand army of modern ''fakirs" have been vending their way. They hail from Boston, New York and other places. The race track is in good condition and the prospects for good weeks racing are all that can be desired.
 Among the flyers already on the grounds in readiness for the races is Beauty Bright, Goldsmith's speedy mare, which is entered in the free-for-all trotting race. Beauty Bright went over the eastern circuit this sum- mer and every turfman knows the horse and owner we'll enough. McDonald's Golden Rod is another favorite with the turtles, and the handsome chestnut geIding can cover the track in good style. This horse is entered in the free for all trot also, and the two will go well together and make pace for the thirteen other flyers entered in this race, which will be hard to follow. W. B. Lockwood, of Norwalk, visited the park yesterday to see his brown gelding, Bill Tremble, which is entered tor the 2:45 trot, cover the track. Two of Davison's string are at the stables. Dan and Cuba, his other two entries, being now on the way here. F. P. Dudgeon's en- try for the 2:36 class, Hugh Mclaughlin, and McMillen Boy, entered by W. A. Rockefeller for the same trot, also arrivied Saturday. G. W. Nelson's string is located in the new stables.
 Just below the stables a huge dining tent has been erected, and there are scores of like ones all over the grounds. The road from the New England railroad station has been put in order, and @ number of freight cars were unloaded there yesterday. Lining both sides of the roadway, from Snperinten- dent Ryder's cozy cottage to the end of the big grand stand, the soft green turf is dotted with tents of all sizes and kinds, from the humble canvas cot of the fortune teller to the big canvas houses where refreshments will be dispensed to the thousands of visit ors.
 All the railroads in the State will run ex- cursion trains during the fair, which con- tinues all the week.

The Sunday law was generally observed
in Cleveland, on April Goth. At few So
called restaurants attempts were made to
eyade the law. Newark saloons were kept
closed and the people enjoyed an orderly
Sunday. The law was generally obeyed in
Toledo. Hotel bars and about dozen Of
the more prominent saloons were closed in
Dayton, but no ''smart fellow" who was
very thirsty went dry" A side-dOor busi-
ness was done at GAINESVILLE. There was
probably" leakage" at Circleville. The
law was strictly observed at Lancaster and
at Findlay. The letter of the law was gen
orally observed, even in Cincinnati, but "the
spirit was wofully disregarded." We are
glad to say that all the hotel bars were
closed. Eight tsaloon-keepers who flagrantly
the police, were arrested, and released on
bond. One of these is spoken of as fol-
lows in a special to the Ohio State Jour
nal:
Andy Wetzel, of Fifth and Broadway,
was one of these. He opened at Q o'clock,
telephoned the brewery for thirty four kegs
of beer and did q rushing business. At 8
o'clock. when he was about sold out, there
was a mob of at least 500 in front Of his
place and so dense that travel on the street
and sidewalk was blocked. Even the cable
cars could not pass. Andy was arrested
for disorderly conduct and keeping open
Sunday.
The special to the Journal closes as fol-
lows:
Summed up, there were perhaps not over
sixty or seventy saloons in the city which
sought TO evade the law, and all OF these
not arrested today will be arrested tomor-
row, and the trials will prove interesting
and will be bitterly contested, the brewers
standing half the expense and half the
fines, if any are imposed. As to workhouse
sentences, in case of conviction, the poor
saloonist cannot hire proxy, but must en-
Ture II himself.
