CouNc1LMEN IN SESSION.

No New Horse Hose Wagon for tho
 Fire Department Unless Ordered by
 Vote of the Council.
 There was @ red hot meeting of the board of councilmen last evening, while the aldermen did not meet, the necessary num- Der to constitute quorum not being present.
 After nearly twenty minutes had been spent by Clerk Barnes in reading the min utes of the previous meeting the board settled down to business.
 The board adopted the layout of the building line for Spring street as recom- mended by the local board and gave J. s. Elton and others permission to make sewer connection with the Grand street sewer on condition that they would pay the regular sewer assessment. A new grade was adopted for the Wall street extension. The board reconsidered the former vote and concurred with the aldermen in ex- tending the time for building sidewalks on
 Pemberton street to May, 1890. A resolution was read instructing the fire commissioners not to purchase hose wagon unless by special vote of the coun cil.
 A motion to lay the resolution on the table was lost by vote of 8 to 7. A mo- tion to refer the matter to the fire com missioners was then offered. Councilman Fitzpatrick said it was noth- ing less than direct snub to the fire com missioners and that it was the first time in over thirty tears that such a thing was done.
 Councilman Cross was of the opinion that the fire department was spending too much, and that the council as representa- tives of the city should see that it is stop ped.
 The motion to refer the matter to the fire board was lost by the same vote as the motion to lay it on the table. The original resolution restricting the department from making the purchase was then taken up and carried by vote of s to 2. The board then adjourned

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Bostons have won % games out of 50 on the home grounds.
 The Hartfords have signed Pitcher Henry Porter ,late of the Kansas Citys.
 Old Reliable Jack Burke of New Brit ain, late of the Eastons, has signed to play left field for Lowell. Den Casey has re- | ceived his release.
 The Mansfield nine is under the man. agement of the veteran Jack Remsen Be- | fore he took hold of the nine it had lost r straight games, but after he appeared on the scene the club won IS games out of 21 played
 Ed Tanning, the New Britain sprinter, says that he will give King, also of New Britain, five yards in 15O for $1OO q side or l one and half in 100 yards for the same money. Five years ago King asked no odds of any sprinter in the state. There is considerable kicking iu New York against the offering of $1OO bills for home-runs. They say that it affects tho work of the nine, as all the players try to send the ball over the fence. It does not seem to have had much effect up to date, as the Giants have been winning right along.
 George Lee Bristol horse and George H of Naugatuck, will race for a purae of S100 at the Waterbury driving park Fri day next. Other attractions the same day will be a race for S75 between horses owned by Messrs Mooney, Neary and Free man of Naugatuck. and a race for a $50 harness to be awarded to the horse mak- ing mile i'll the nearest to three minutes Ted Sullivan, after spending three days in Wilkesbarre, left for home last night. His negotiations for Fitzgerald, Petit and Beecher were unsuccessful. Ted says the Wllkesbarre management wanted too much money. Ted will make this report to President Hewitt. Still, it is possible that arrangements may be made for the transfer of Fitzgerald to Washington.
 Tom Wilkinson, the celebrated starter of sprint races in England, has been seized with paralytic stroke which deprives him of the power of speech and the use of his right side. He is 56 years of age, and has always enjoyed good health His rep utation for starting important sprint races is far famed, and his services were well sought for. He is known as" Honest Tom, 1" for many big bribe has been offered him to let some competitor get shade the best of the start. Not single case of a sprinter's beating Wilkinson's pistol has been recorded for twenty years.
 Anson says: 'I believe we have but one dangerous rival for first place. I refer to the New York club. Boston and Cleveland have made game fights, particularly Cleve- land, for the league babies could hardly have been expected to make great show ing, but their gilt-edged work has all been done in my opinion. You won't sec great tumble in either club, but both will slowly slide down the ladder round or two. The New Works have won thirty four games and we have taken thirty. therefore we are within four victories of our only rivals in the pennant race"

An Unsafe Dam at Meriden.

The Meriden selectmen have received a petition signed by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company by o. M. Shepard. superintendent, Edward H. Yale and J. NJ. Bartlett. asking that an examination be at once made of Garlick's pond dam near the railroad track at the peat works, to determine it's safety. The railroad company and the residents near there believe it unsafe and if 1t should break away it would seriously damage the property about there as we'll as wash away the railroad track. The selectmen will at once take action to have the dam exam ined and probably the railroad company will have representatives there at the time

ATTEMPT TO BURN DANBURY.

Two More Incendiar1es In the Hat
 ting City Last Night.
 There were two incendiaries in Danbury last night. About ' o'clock fire was dis covered in the Danbury and Norwalk car repair house near depot. The department were called out, but before their services were needed the fire was extinguished. It was started among lot of waste soaked d in oil. Soon after o'clock the depart ment was again called out. Fire had been discovered in the freight house of the New England railroad. It was soon extinguish ed. Like the one in the early part of the evening it was started among lot of waste soaked in oil and placed under the center of the building. Right over where the fire was started the incendiary placed two bar rels full of oil, but fortunately the firs was extinguished before the flames reach ed them. Damages in both cases were light. Had either fire got any headway the loss would have been large as both buildings are in the center of the city Three boys and one man were arrested as being the incendaries, but no evidence has been found against them.

jority is already predicted.
