The Committee on Appropriations Cam
 nos Consistently Vote Co cOmnend
 That NIrs. Hubbel1 be Given $2,OOO
 From she City Treasury.
 The committee on appropriations met last night in the mayors office to consider the resolution offered by Councilman Manning in the common council which provided for the payment to the widow of the late Fireman Hubbell the sum of g, 900, to be taken from the city treasury.
 Chief Hendrick of the fire department, Superintendent of Fire Alarms Smith, Fire Commissioner L. H. .Stannard and Councilman Manning appeared in favor of the resolution. Chief Hendrick said that Mrs. Hubbell had received about twenty-five hundred dollars from various sources.
 The committee went into executive session and finally voted to indefinitely postpone the resolution. The members did not see how they could honestly and consistently reeom- mend that the money be paid from the city treasury. Besides, they thought they would be establishing wrong precedent, and fur thermore, that they had no right to do it. The widow is well provided for at pres ent. In taking this action the members of the committee knew they were facing public public opinion, but notwithstanding this they did what they thought was their duty in the matter.

 The meeting last evening of the former of- 6cezs and members of the National Blues held in the parlors of the active company at Union armory for the purpose of forming permanent veteran organization, resulted in great success. A committee consisting of O. K. Farpham, 0. F. Merwin. George Francis. John Santry and Richard W. Waite appoint ed at recent meeting for the purpose pre- sented report which was in the nature of constitution for the organization. At this time the chair of the presiding officer was filled by First Lieutenant Robert G. Christy, the temporary secretary being R. T. Waite.
 The constitution as presented, together with recommendations to be acted upon, was approved and thirty gentlemen signed their names to the instrument, each one paying half dollar into the treasury. The motion that those intending to vote for permanent officers should first sign the constitution was made by ex-Sergeant Farnham, who is also colonel and head of the organization of Sons of Veterans in this State. His idea found favor and ex-Sergeant Charles F. Merwin was appointed treasurer pro tenn.
 The officers named by the committee and who were chosen to remain in office until the first Wednesday in January, which is to be hereafter the day for the annual meeting for the election of officers, are: President, Cap tain Luzerne I. Thomas; first vice president, Frst Lieutenant John Sinister; second vice president, John 0. Miles; secretary, Sergeant George Francis; treasurer, First Lieutenant Robert G.

O., of New Haven, hereby and of our own free will and accord, unite and form an organization for the purpose and objects hereinafter set forth, and in so doing honest ly pledge ourselves to be governed by the constitution and the several rules, regula- tions and bylaws which are based upon the same."
 Captain l.. I. Thomas made an excellent speech in which he begged to be excused from the honor of being president His wishes, however, were overru1ed by the meeting, and, on his taking the chair, he re- ceived good deal of enthusiastic applause . The committee on bylaws is the same as reported the constitution, and the new organ. ization adjourned until next Thursday even- ing, when some unfinished business will be acted upon.
 Probably the most distinguished soldier formerly connected with the Blues, now iy- ing, is Major Lyman Bissell, who served in the company during the Mexican war, and for bravery was afterward made an officer of the United States army His health has not been good for long time and he has an af- lection of the heart, from which he cannot recover. His portrait, painted by the late F. Paul Barnes, hangs on the wall of the ac- tive company's parlor.
 The new organization commences it's ca- reer with every prospect of fourishing for l an indefinite time.

 The Foreman Morton company opened at the Grand yesterday to large houses. ''The Hermit" sensational spectacular drama, was produced. There is good deal of blood and thunder about the play, which pleases the audience immensely. Charles R. Foremal plays the part of "The Hermit, ," who is called Ia mysterious unknown" 0. Edgar Fore man as the Yankee boy made the audience laugh when he was about, and Miss Ida Mer- edith, clever soubrstte, does some neat dancing. In museum hall is "Jumbo," the largest horse in the world.
 BRASS MONKEY.
 At the New Haven Opera House to night Charles H.Hoyt will produce his new comedy "A Brass Monkey" This is one of the queer names that Hoyt has given to all his come- dies. The Worcester Spy of Tuesday com- pliments the play highly and says: "It is inn mensely funny from beginning to end and the audience was kept in roar most of the time. It differs from the other plays from the pen of Mir. Hoyt only in the fact that there is more music introduced, but it is ex- actly like them all in having no plot. It is a satire on the various superstitious of the day and they are all cleverly introduced. The company is especially clever"
