CITY FATHERs MEET.
DOinEs of the Councilmen-The Publi Park Extension-The Half MilliO

DOin&s of the Councilmen-The Public
 Park Extension-The Half Million
 of Sewer BOnds-Salary Questions.
 Nearly every councilman was in his seat last night. No time was lost in getting down to business. The motion to concur with the board of aldermen in it's referring the exten- sion of the city's public park system to the committee on squares to confer with the chamber of commerce was, after opposition, passed. Councilmen Kelley and McNamara opposed it on the ground that the council could attend to the business without calling in the chambers help. Councilman Noran's explanation made things satisfactory.
 The order was read to instruct the corpor ation council to secure proper legislstion from the legislature for the power to issue sewer bonds to the amount of $500, 1000 and was passed in concurrence after a slight ob jection from Councilman Kelley.
 City Treasurer Weleh's annual report was received. It showed that tae orders paid during the past year amounted to $77O, O,S0s.- 45; balance on hand, sS0, ,511.75.
 By the report of James Bishop, clerk of the city clerk, for the month of December, it is shown that the receipts were $1 ,420.0S.
 Councilman Hamilton strongly advocated an increase of the salary of the assistant clerk of the city court, MT. Linsley.
 Councilman Asher said that it was nig- gardly, miserly salary to pay lawyer of ability.
 Councilman McNamara replied that no lawyer of ability would take the position.
 The matter was tabled for inquiry on mo- tion of MT. Moran.
 The bill now in the legislature provides for the abolishment of hearings in damages to the court after default or demurrer is over ruled was next taken up.
 Councilman Hamilton moved to amend that the corporation counsel be instructed not to interfere one way or the other in the matter, and Councilman Moran moved to amend by tabling.
 MT. Hamiltons amendment was carried. On the several other bills pertaining to this city which have been introduced at the present session of the legislature, the board concurred with the board of aldermen. When the resolution to increase the salary 6g of the city auditor from $1 800 to $2, 800 came up, Councilman Dyer thought Auditor Lake had it very easy, and the common council should not start out wrong by in- creasing salaries.
 Councilman Asher said the city auditor was the poorest paid official of the city. The motion to increase the salary was lost. This makes deadlock between the two boards, as the board of aldermen voted to grant the increase.
 Petitions referred For an electric light \ to be placed at the intersection of George and York streets; for sidewalk on both sides of Ellsworth avenue, between Chapel | and Martin streets; for 8 walk across Chapel ! street, between College and High streets; for | an electric light at the junction of Rosette l and Washington streets; of Thomas J. O'Con- l nor for appointment special constable; of John J. Moakley for appointment as special constable.

The Young men's Republican Club 70 Celebrate the Anniversary of Lin. coln,s Birthday, With Appropriate Exercises To-Nighf.
 Tonight will be gala night for the young Republicans of this city, and bids fair to be an occasion which will be looked back to by the members of the Young Mems Republi- can club as the merriest and most successful affair ever given by them. Over seven hun- dred have signi6ed their intention of attend ing the exercises, and as it will be held in their club rooms the seating capacity of the rooms will doubtless be taxed to it's utmost. Among the most noted out-of-town persons who have been invited are Senator Platt, Senator Hawiey, ex-Governor Louns- bury and Governor Bulkeley. A fine eolla- tion will be served throughout the whole evening and will be interspersed every twen- ty minutes by singing by the glee club, music by the New Haven Orchestral and Banjo clubs, and by impromptu remarks by the following persons: Rev. Dr. Reed, Attorney James Bishop, Attorney J. P. Goodhart, Alderman Bushnell, T. Manson, James A. Howarth, Prof. Townsend, Attorney o. B. Matthewman and several others. The newly elected officers will receive the congratula- tions of the members of the club during the evening.

We Cannot Emphasize the Matter Too
 Much.

Ladies who have difficulty and discomfort in their house shoes will find that handmade turn sole boots and low shoes combine style, fit and absence from noise with thorough ease. Nine-tenths of so-called house boots are made by machinery, and the lasting, nails, paste and unnecessarily stiff soles prevent the comfort sought for. Handmade turn sole house boots and shoes cost little more than those made in the objectionable manner indi- cated and should take their place in all well regulated households.
 Enquire for handmade turn sole boots and low shoes for house use.

The League Meeting.

A league meeting was held in Meriden yes- terday afternoon, as Meriden wanted to re- instate Cunning. The latter was present with his lawyer and had hearing. When it came to a vote there was considerable excite. ment. Someone asked Sands and Reilly if they had any interest in the Neriden team ,as they seemed to be putting in hard work to get Cunning reinstated. Both said they had no financial interest, but represented Manager Lucas. Every club but Meriden voted not to reinstate Cunning. Sands and Reilly were also asked why they were not trying to get Lampkin reinstated as well as Cunning.

 After the game last night the Bridgeports had a seance in their room. John Smith swore what is commonly called "blue streak, ," and said that he would never play on the team again as long as Williams played at center.
