AGAINST WOODEN BUILDINGS.
Will City Attorney Terry Ever Report
 That Restrictive Ordinance?

Will City Attorney Terry Ever Report
 That Restrictive Ordinance?
 General dissatisfaction is expressed both by members of the fire board and by citi- zens who have the good of the city at heart at the failure of the city attorney to report an ordinance forbidding the building of additions to wooden buildings within the fire limits, as he was instructed to do some months ago. In speaking of the matter last night one of the commissioners said :: "We have now an ordinance which ought to cover such cases. The real meaning and intent of the ordinance is to prevent the erection of any additions to a wooden building within the fire limits, with an eye to destroying these dangerous structures, but according to the decisions of our court this ordinance cannot hold, and as the case stands now, a man can take his wood shed and with the aid of few bricks and a few corner columns of iron, build up fire trap as big as the city hall. Property owners on our principal streets ought to have q certain pride in the streets and not try tC deface them with one story rookery addi tions which make us a laughing stock fol visitors. We have been promised this or dinance by the city attorney, and it is time that it should be forthcoming"

 Tim Murnane says: ''I look for the Giants to keep up the good work for three or four weeks, when they will take their usual tumble. They have some fine hit ters, however, and if they are looked after by President Day in person they are likely to keep in the front rank to the end. One thing is almost settled, and that is Detroit Chicago and New York will take the three first positions. I look for Boston to come in fourth, as the hard luck the boys are now having will not last much longer"

same ''delusion" as Bayer under the same conditions
 All testimony was announced in and arguments were begun by NIT Judd for the prosecution claiming protection for his client.
 Attorney Burpee, for the defence, claimed that if test of insanity was that when an old man like Bayer had his property taken from him, which he had spent years in accommodating, by two men who paid nothing for it, then he (the speaker) is insane, and so is every one who is beaten in lawsuit and cannot under stand how. Dr Ward wants the man con- fined beyond any possibility of action against him. Colonel Doherty says he has investigated Bayer's claim to the property and says there is justice in it. ''Is Colonel Doherty insane 2" MT Burpee closed with an eloquent appeal for the gray haired old man. He suggested that the old man be taken into the custody by the selectmen His threats simply amount to this" said MT Burpee. "A poor broken down old man, who after years of labor, finds him self robbed of every cent he had in the world, cherishes feelings of emnity toward those who he believes have been the cause of his woe"

MEETING OF THE FIRE BOARD.
several Matters of Importance Acted
 Upon by the Commissioners.


 Every member of the fire board was present last evening when the bids were opened for fuel for the department horses for the coming quarter. There were three bidders, Spencer X Pierpont, N. Heater, and the Platt's Mills Co., The contract was given to the latter firm. Chief Snagg noti- fled the board that the owner of the prem ses in the rear of No 2's engine house had ordered him to remove all city property from it. The empty lot was used to dump manure onto and to spread bedding. The closing of it would place the city in bad predicament. Commissioners Kelly and Roberts were ordered to investigate the matter and see what could be done. The chief also said that the stables in the rear of No Is engine house had become such an intolerable nuisance that some of the fire men would not stay in the house, and that none would sleep there. The same com missioners were ordered to bring the hui sance to the notice of the board of health.

Remarkable Story of South Main
 Street Cat.

hemarkaDle story or a South halh
 Street Cat.
 A family on South Main street, who re- gently lost daughter by death, had pet family cat which came to them when near ly full grown. The cat took the most re- markable fancy tosLibbie, the young lady that died, and was never so happy as when perched upon her shoulder or sitting upon her lap. Each morning, when the feline was admitted inside of the house, it in stantly started in search of Libbie, and when found would express his joy by vari- ous demonstrations. The young lady was taken suddenly i'll one night at dark and was dead before noon the following day. About five minutes after she stopped breathing the cat sprang from the chair in which he was lying, gave one groan and fell back dead These facts are corrobora ted by the family and they seemed all the more remarkable as the cat was very large and enjoyed tbe best of health.-New Ha- ven News
