clerk figured up it was found that she had taken orders amounting to $27.
 A Pinkerton detective shadowed her and saw her go to the First National bank where
 she got the orders cashed. She then went to
 Myers shoe store and bought pair of shoes.
 Then she went to Buttriek's pattern store on
 Chapel street, and then to Thalheimer's sa-
 loon. She went to the corner of Court and
 Church streets and there met Clerkin. They
 repaired to the hallway of the Lefingwell
 building where she handed Clerkin some-
 thing which the detective thought looked
 like money.
 LOOKED UP. Mrs. Callahan is charged with the theft of one town of New Haven order to the value of 30, another to the value of $4, bank check, No. 277, valued at 8, and five town of New Haven orders valued at $26. The warrant calls her Josephine Callahan, alias Mrs. An drew J. Callahan.
 She was unable to procure the necessary $25O last night and had to be locked up. BIG DROP IN EXPENSE. Since Town Agent Todd came into office 8

Orders Passed by the Board of Alder
 men Last Evening That the old Ruin
 Must be Completely RemOved-The
 Action APplauded --. The Center
 Church Memorial Petition IndeR-
 niteIY POstpOned---No Sentiment
 Needed.
 That the city fathers are as weary of the ndomitable State House question ss others of their brethren in the City of Films was conclusively shown last evening when they so far forgot their august dignity as to unite in a general burst of applause after they had effectually "assassinated" the classic old ruin and ordered it removed from the face of the earth and the Green.
 The orders recommended by the committee were:
 Ordered, That the, old State House building be removed from the public green and that the audit of the city is hereby authorized and directed to plete removal of said building from the Green and In the event of there being no acceptable bids the ed to contract for the taking down and removal of appear for the best interests of the city.
 These were accepted without opposition.

DROWNED IN THE HARBOR.

A Party of Six Boys Go Fishing 0R the Breakwater in a OatbOat Yester- day Afternoon - Henry Ives and Joseph Miller, Two of Lhe Boys@ Swept OE In the Water by a Sudden Swing of the BoOm-N1iller is Res- cued, bus Ives is Drowned.
 Yesterday afternoon party of boys com- posed of Henry Ives, Joseph Horton, Joseph Miller, George Horn, Charles Hipelius and William Templeton started to go fatfshing down the harbor. They left the dock at about o'clock in catboat belonging to Frank Kenna, son of Thomas M. Kenna, pro- prietor of the Selden House, and at 4 o'clock were off the jetty. Miller and Ives were standing in the stern of the boat. Joseph Horton was engaged in fixing part of the sail, and Templeton, Horn and Hipelius were seated in the bow. Suddenly gust of wind blew the sail around and the boom 1 struck Ives and Miller, sweeping them off in- to the water. Miller, who was a fair swim ! mer, made for the boat, which in the mean while had drifted quite distance from him. The distance was so great, however, that ! when he reached the boat he was completely ! exhausted and was just going down, but | Horton and Hipelius grasped him and drew ! him into the boat. Ives was not very good \ \ his hat, which was floating in the water near ! him. The boys in the boat seeing he was \ failing shouted to him to catch hold of an ! oyster stake which was near him. ! But he disregarded their shouts and | continued to swim towards his hat, when \ suddenly he sank. Immediately after the ! boys were thrown into the water the others ! in the boat called to two men in boat near by, who were fishing, to come over and help ! them, but the men didn't start until they ! saw them pull Miller in, when they made l all possible speed to reach the place, but | they did not get there until Ives had gone ! down. The boys spent quite @ time sailing | about the place, waiting to sec if he would ! not come once more, but at last they gave it up and started towards home, which they | reached about o'clock. Oscar Ives, the
 father of Young Ives. is a contractor in the
 clock shop He was sick in bed 1 when the sad news reached him and { was greatly affected by the shock. He went ! to the shop yesterday morning but feeling too ill to work returned home. Mr. Ives was completed prostrated by the news. The drowned boy was employed in the clock shop but has been unable to work for the past few days on account of one of his Gngers being cut off.
 Joseph Norton is the son of Philander o. Norton also an employe at the clock shop. He resides at GA Pearl street. All the boys were greatly cast down over the accident when seen by COURIER reporter last eve- ming but they all said that if the Ives boy had grasped hold of the oyster stake they would have been able in all probability to
 have reached him. They also censured the two men who were fishing near by for not immediately coming to help them instead of
 waiting until they saw them lift the Miller boy into the boat

 A person in position to know says that there are many instances where orders have been drawn and that the town has been sysA tematically swindled out of considerable money. To state how much would be guess work. He told the reporter something of how the business had been carried on and how the net had at last been drawn in. Town Agent Todd, when he went into office last January, began to straighten out af- fairs. He found that there were two hun dred benefoiaries who were either cared for by means of regular weekly or monthly stipend in the way of an order or by work tickets. He found that Town Agent Rev. holds had used stamp bearing fac-simile of his autograph to sign these orders, and he signed them before they were made out. Major Todd found out that no record was kept in the books of orders issued. The on- ly one who knows anything of these bene6- ciaries was Clerkin.
 Town Agent Todd thought it 8 good idea to investigate and find where these orders went to. He finally got a record book in which the names of all the benefciaries were recorded, and party who got an order for cash or work had to endorse it on the back. Immediately the amount of the expenditures decreased. Town Agent Todd found 8 sur plus of orders left over each week, left in Clerkin's drawer. He put them away, ex- pecting Clerkin would ask for them when the persons to whom they were made out called. But they didn't, and finally he had quite 8 stack of them. Then the irregularities were discovered.
 In the case of Mrs. Goodsell he recorded her death and refused to do anything for her funeral expenses, although he kept on draw ing orders for the deceased and getting them cashed. Town Agent Todd now has these orders in his possession.
 A Pinkerton detective was engaged to work up the case.
 Last Friday Mrs. Andrew J. Callahan en- tered the town agents office, but did not find Clerkin there as she expected. She has been frequent visitor to get an order, so it was stated, for a relative. Town Agent Todd and Clerk Pickett were there. Mrs. Callahan very pleasantly took seat behind the railing near the table. The two gentle men appeared to take no notice of her. She was reading paper, and between times reached out and took several orders. She then left. When the town agent and the
