soARDOF PUBLIC WORKS.

Corporation Counsel DrfscOll Advises
 the Board NOt 10 Accept she ProPOs1-
 tfOn ofthe Consolidated Road Rcl&-
 tive to the Jackson Street Bridge
 The West End Boulevard--Street
 Sprinkling.
 Corporation Counsel Driscoll appeared be- fore the board of public works last night and advised that body to resist the proposition made by the Consolidated road that the city pay half the expense for the grading and raising of the tracks necessitated by the new Jackson street bridge. The board voted to grade the approaches, which are the city s property.
 The petition of the West Haven railroad company for permission to relay its tracks on the Sylvan avenue branch with a T rail was tabled in order to give the company a chance to state what it exactly needs in that respect. The clerk was directed to request Superintendent Ward to appear before the board at it's next meeting.
 The layout of the right of way for the west end of the boulevard sewer was shown and several property owners appeared, among them Charles W. :. Scranton, representing the Hamilton Park property. He objected to the layout as it would ruin the park. The lay~ out will be submitted to the common coun- Gil with the principal objections given by property owners.
 The city engineer was instructed to get the repairing of the West river bridge done for not more than his estimate of $400. The bid of the Yale Iron and Safe company for $775 was rejected.
 The board appointed Commissioners States and Whitney committee to inquire and report as regards the duties of its em- ployes.
 The board also voted to forbid any person to water street, top dressed or with Telford pavement, with a hose which has a nozzle larger than one-sixteenth of an inch. The superintendent of streets was directed to see ! that this rule was enforced.

them moved that beth sets of delegations from the Ninth district be admitted, each delegate to have half vote. Mir. Wise, of Virginia, seconded the motion. MT. Hep burn, of Iowa, protested against such action.
 MT. Stevenson, of Minnesota, moved that the minority report, so far as it referred to the admission of Mir. Wood and his colleagues, be adopted.
 The chair explained that the minority re- port did not ask for the admission of any delegates from the Ninth district, but mere ly dlssented from the minority report
 MT, Stevenson then said that he would move that MT. Wood and his colleagues be, admitted to the convention as the properly elected delegates from the Ninth district. After number of gentlemen had spoken and was greeted with applause. He said that when the gentleman from North Caro- iina Russe.D spoke of the gentleman who made. the context as one who probably went to greg Shop, he did not conine him. self to the facts of the case. Mir.

 MT. Hess called for the previo6s> question and the convention adopted the m6tion to seat the Wood delegates by an overwhelming vote.
 The question being upon the adoption of the remainder of the majority report of the credentials committee Mir. Reader demanded decision of the question and that each sep- arate case should be voted upon by itself This was agreed to. MT. Fessenden, of Con- necticut, moved to reconsider the vote by which the convention had admitted the Wood delegation from the Ninth district. MT But terworth moved to lay the motion upon the table and after long wrangle the question was put and Mir. Butterworth's motion pre- vailed.
 The question then recurred upon the ad- mission of the delegates from the Second dis trict of Virginia. The majority report seats the Wise delegates and the minority, which seats the Malone delegates, was offered as 8 substitute, and call of States was had upon the adoption of the substitute. The minority report was rejected; yeas 250, nays 512. The announcement of the vote was received with applause.

They Call for Three Cheers fer Fisk and Brooks and OfFer Great Attrac- tions-Ffrst-CIass Singing and First- Glass Speakers.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: The prohibitionists are wide awake. They don't propose to celebrate in one corner of the town as our Democratic friends have done, They have sent their circulars and posters all; over the city asking the good peo- ep1e of New Haven to come to the Hyperion sto-uightto to give three cheers for Fisk and Brooks. zIiu | They have some good Candidates to cheer for, for General Fisk is one of the bravest and ablest of the generals who led the Union armies as we'll as one of the most successful business men of the country. Withal, he is Christian gentleman and widely known as large-hearted philanthropist, and the most prominent and influential layman in the Methodist church.
 The candidate for vice president stands as high in the South as General Fisk does in the North, and not in the South alone is he honored, for some of our most prominent city clergymen and judges say they are per-. sonally acquainted with him, and that he is in every way worthy of respect and honor Hon. John Lloyd Thomas of New York city, who is one of the principal speakers to- night, formerly lived in Baltimore and was district agent of the National Prohibition bureau for the States of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and | the District of Columbia. He is now the secretary of the National Prohibition bureau and halls from New York city. He is said >sQ be one of the most forcibls and convincing of American temperance speakers and has re- ceiveNhigh eommendation from the press of all parts Nof the country
 Colonel Marvin Knowlton, who is also to speak, is knoW2 all over Connecticut as an enthusiastic and sHccessfu1 worker and speak CT for the cause in which he is engaged
 Rev. I. M. Foster is>Yell known in New Haven as the honored pastor of the St. John street Methodist church whose TEords are full of fire and interest
 Rev. L. H. Squires in the short 15awe he has been here as pastor of the Church oaHe@ Messiah has become we'll known as an abl,. speaker and temperance worker.
 Rev. M. s. Phillips is also well known in this city, and is doing good service here and throughout the country.
 Either of the speakers named above could fill the evening and do it well. But when both speakers are added it certainly gives a rich programme, and when such an attrac- tion is added as the singing of the famous Crystal Stream quartette, whose singing is asserted by citizens of New Haven who have heard them at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York to excel that of any other quar- tetre they ever heard.
