A JOINT MEETING.

Do1ngS Of the Town and City Commit t. Zee on tho TomIinson Bridge. At meeting of the joint committee from
 the board of selectmen aud the board of public works, held in the town agents office last night, bill was presented from F. D.
 Butricks, the engineer and machinist, which caused considerable discussion. The bill amounted to $337.46 and was for repairs and improvements on Tomlinson bridge MT. Butricks had made verbal agreement to put automatic gates there for $2OO. The understanding was that it should be in good condition, but it seems it took this extra amount to do it.
 Ex-Selectman Beeeher appeared before the board to explain the bill on behalf of the committee that made the agreement with MT. Butricks. This bill was for repairs out side of the $200 for putting up the gates. It was ordered paid.
 Mr. Renke moved that an agreement be made with MT. William Haney to erect au- tomatic gates on Quinnipiac bridge for $275, provided after thirty days test they are in good working condition.
 Mr. Feldman could not conceive how this Jolnt committee had any right to vote on this matter. He thought the joint meeting had Deen called simply to act on the Tomlinson Drloge. He thought the minority of the Doa.u oL pubic works had no right to vote away money and that this committee couId only vote to recommend the matter to each board. It was thought MT. FeIdman was right and so MT. Klenke withdrew his mo. tion, and it was then voted to recommapd '. the board of public works and the board of selectnen the putting up of automatic eates on the Quinnipiac bridge ee'
 It was voted to give Town Agent Reynolds authority to attend to the immediate supplies of the engineer of the Tomlinson bridge for repairs.

 lures of the Joyous Occasion.
 The fourth annual ball given by the em- ployes of Bolton 81 Nicely took place last eve ming at the Hyperion. It was very grand affair and the immense theater was filled to it's utmost capacity. The scene was very brilliant one with the lovely maidens be- decked in elegant dresses, the dazzling gas jets and very handsome floral and bunting decorations. Great praise is due the artists of Bolton & Nicely who decorated the theater, they even equalling the famous Gunsell of New York. Red, white and blue bunting was principally used in the decorations. The facing of the first gallery was decked with red, white and blue bunting, while over the center aisle the facing was a large silk American flag caught up in the middle with blue bunting. The facing of the second gallery was deco rated with red and white, while red, white and blue was run to the posts supporting the gallery and then entwinee around the posts.
 On one side of the gallery near the boxes an
 American flag hung and the side opposite was
 draped with red and white one.
 The proscenium arch was tastily decorated
 From the center of the arch red, white and blue bunting was draped to each side and caught near the boxes. Bunting also was drapsd from the center of the arch back and caught in the flies. Just in front of the par ouet circle upon the edge of the dancing fool a row of handsome tropical plants was ar ranged. They were furnished by Floris Dickerman. Two extra boxes were built, ,ont on each side of the parquet just at the sid' of the regular boxes. They were built of rec bunting. The base of the flies over the sidei of the stage was pIettily festooned with red white and blue bunting.
 Stacks orchestra were arranged at the lef hand side of the dress circle near the boxes and discoursed beautiful music threughou the evening. The scene was very beautiful throughout. Many of the guests came ir carriages and the entrance for all was on thu | west side of the theater. The hat and cloal room was crowded with wearing appare checked for the occasion. Every seat in thu parquet was occupied and the balcony wa I likewise one sea of faces. The grand marcl was at about nine o'clock, about two hun dred and fifty couples, led by MT. and Mrs Bolton and Mr. William Nicely. Genera Superintendent O'Reilly and wife followed next. It was Q beautiful scene, and the displa. of the ladies' toilets in their many beautiful gay colors lent great additional beauty t the brilliant scene.

 Nm The Next American Armageddon.
 Joseph Cook began his thirteenth year of Monday lectures in Boston in Fremont Tem- pie last Monday noon. The hall was packed and Mr. Cook never received more kindly welcome or faced more attentive audience. He began by calling attention to the poten- cies of growth in the cities of America, and to the dangers with which lack of forecast menaces the future of this country. The most dangerous evil, he went on, of our day and of coming time is the sovereignty of the saloon in the misgoverned great towns. [Ap- plause.1 Little by little this sovereignty is extending in State and even national politics. The enthronement or dethronement of the sa- loon-that is the question to be settled in the next American Armageddon.
