 Haven's Encouragement of manu.
 facturing.
 The Billings & Spencer Go. of Hartford have declared regular per cent quarterly dividend and an extra one of 3 per cent. be- sides. This makes the stockholders look eheerfuIly at each other. The B. & s. Co. employ 100 men. They have received flat
 terine offer to remove to Bridgeport. A
 majority of the directors favor not going.
 The Billings & Spencer company does con-
 siderable work for the Wheeler & Wilson
 company of Bridgeport, and on some ac-
 counts, the directors say, it would be to
 their advantage to remove there. The Hart ford papers are, to use Hartforder's ex-
 pression, ''down on the proposition for a re- mo7al like a thousand of brick" The Courant says:
 The city of Hartford should offer encourage. ment to old and reliable manufacturing companies like the Billings & Spencer company to remain, and it will be the aim of the new board of trade with the cooperation of the common council, to strive to accomplish the desired results. Bridge
 port is making strenuous efforts to get 1nanufactur. ing companies to locate there and succeeds in
 many eases by offering ndpcsments which a .n nc ward, but should come to the rescue of it's manu- factUrers, and be as liberal towards them as pos sible.
 Said New Haven gentleman yesterday New Haven's chamber of commerce has taken most satisfactory step forward in it's msve towards offering encouragement to manufacturing enterprises to locate ir New Haven. While no new ones have yet been brought here since the chamber took the action last winter, there has been consid' erable work done and there is good pros pect that the labor will bear good fruit and 1 benefit New Haven materially

BALDWIN STREET EXTENSION.

Hearing Before the Board of Selects
 men The Petitioners Given
 Leave to WfthdPaW-A Breeze in she
 Annex.
 A hearing on the extension of Baldwin street in the Annex to Forbes avenue was given by the board of selectmen last night.
 J. E. Mills, the head petitioner, appeared and
 thought that public necessity demanded that
 the street be extended. It would be great
 convenience to the residents in that street.
 now, but if he closes it the people will be at
 g great disadvantage.
 F. E. Baldwin thought it would be too bad to cut up Mrs. Hughes property, through which the road was to go. It was an inconvenience to her. but it was public necessity nevertheless. Selectman Hughes started to ask MT. Bald win several questions when Mr. Mills ob- jected to the questions, claiming that they had nothing to do with Baldwin street. "I am not talking to you, MT. Mills," said Mir. Hughes.
 "I rise to point of order" said Seleetman Reynolds as Mr. Mills had become quite ex- cited. eff it has got to that pass where a selectman can't ask questions of petitioner the board had better close its meeting" The chairman sustained Selectman Hughes and MT. Mills quietsd for the time being. James Neal said he did not come to cut any one up, nor did he want to be cut up. He lives on the lane, and had worked mauy years to build his house. He was opposed to having the street come through the lane and ! breaking up his property. He did not care l whether street went through Mrs. Hughes property or not.
 MT. Mills said again that at one time the 1 lane was barred and the laborers had to go out of their way to get to work, which made 8 walk of fifteen minutes more. He was ob- liged to Selectman Hughes for using them so well in letting them go through his property. "Yes, and someone cut some boards out of the fence and never said anything about it, " said Selectman Hughes. . .'well, I don't know anything about that, :" replied Mir. Mills.
 Frank Allen, Burton A. Chamberlain and MK Hugo spoke in favor of the extension. s'I want to say to you, Mr.. Neal," said Selectman Hughes, 'that I don't believe that there is any sane man who would harm a hair of your head.'
 Mr Neal exclaimed: 1T knew itl I knew
 it, sirl You have been a good friend of
 mine, and knew you wouldn't want to hurt
 me-"
 John Shepard of Ferry street sent letter
 to the board fayoring the extension.
 Mrs. Hughes was the only one who op-
 posed the extension, as |, the street would
 have to go through her property. She said
 she had fine orchard and it would spoil it.
 The street wouH go within three feet of her back door. .- Mr. Mills made several breaks and dis
 played his oratorical efforts.
 The board voted to give the petitioners
 leave to withdraw.

THE NEW WEBsTRR SCHOOL.

The Contract to Erect It-BulIdexs Heard by the Board of Education Last Night-What Was Done.
 A special meeting of the board of education was held last night to hear in regard to award ing the contracts for the erection of the new Webster school. MT. Zunder presided in the place of President Wslch, who was absent owing to family bereavement. Msssrs. Peck and Bennett were also absent. Major Strong in behalf of the building committee stated that the lowest bidder was Mir. John Hogan and that he had furnished bonds that seemed to him satisfactory. On motion of Dr. Carr malt the matter was referred back to the building committee with power to act.
 Mir. N. D. Sperry was present and made the following statement: "I understood the action of the board in this matter was left to the building committee to award to the low est responsible bidder. I think the point raised by Mir. Plunkett in regard to the re- sponsible bidder is well taken. It must mean man who is responsible in all ways, one who is capable of doing good work in every particular, and not one who is willing to give responsible work. The firm of Smith & Sperry were bidders on this matter. At the time our bid was handed in I said to the architect that we had not handed in a separate bid for the mason work, but said I would do so if he wished That is the particular in which we did not live up to the requirements of the rules. told one member of the board that con- sidered the contract belonged to us, and was ready to give a satisfactory bond. The rules governing the awarding the bid was that satisfactory bond should be deposited within three days after awarding the bids" 1"
 Major Maher was also heard. He said: "I appeared here this evening understanding that MT. Hogan had failed to give satisfac- tory bond, and as the second lowest bidder claim the contract The rules were that sep arate bids should be made for mason work, carpenter work and steam heating work, and these I complied with.n
 MT. John Hogan, the lowest bidder, was heard in regard to the matter. He begged to be allowed to speak for few minutes. He said: tsI saw the call in the paper and asked the privilege to bid on the work came here from Fall River, Mass, to do job of work on the Sacred Heart church and intend to To- cate here. made the bid in good faith and furnished the bond as your committee knows, and intend to live up to the contract" MT. Andrew Smith will go on Mir. Hogan's bond.
 There will be 8 meeting of the building committee at Attorney PlunkeEt's office We'd nesday morning at 9 o'clock when the matter will be settled There is no doubt, said member of the board last night, now that MT. Hogan has given satisfactory bond that the contract will be awarded to him.

 The class day invitations will probably be out to day. The design this year is quite unique.
 A large amount of information anent the Harvard crew is issuing from Cambridge just now and all of it is to the effect that the crim- son crew is very bad one this year and that nothing short of a miracle can place it in the van in the coming race with Yale. Accord l ing to these reports the condition of affairs at Cambridge is truly pitiable. But this will not go down without doubt. Harvard has 8 fine crew, it is not her custom to send any thing else to New London. She means to win that race this year if it is possible thing and no stone will be left unturned to get the crimson across the line ahead of the blue. There is too much talk at Harvard about her poor crew and its object is un- doubtedly to inspire a feeling of over conf dence in the Yale breast, feeling which has so often proved disastrous. Yale expects a hard struggle and will work for victory. Let the talk pass. Apropos of all Rarvards gloomy talk reporter for the Boston Globe named Buckley was in town yesterday and watched the Yale crew at practice. He gave it as his opinion last evening that Harvard would win the race, and advised a friend who had conversation with him to put his money on the crimson. The Harvard crew he said was dn splendid shape, and nothing but 8 phenomenal crew could leave them be- hind at New London.
