matter of selecting drawing Instruments and
the high standard which they have given the
work.
Said one of. the faculty last night: The stu
dents seem to have been made the dupes OF
persons who have endeavored to make trou-
bic. The two instructors hsve worked UNI
csasingly to place their branch upon the
highest possible standard. They have urged
manufacturers and dealers in instruments to
give their apparatus q carefulness and pre-
cision of Auish which 10 absolutely necessary
for the fine work that the instructors are
doing. This they had been unable to do ex-
cept with one firm. It they recommended
the instruments Of this house 1t was to save
the students the trouble of finding for them-
selves the proper instrumental. The faculty
authorize the instructors to prescribe what
instruments shall be used. Those who have
not purchased instruments o. directed will
have to change them before they can 60 on

Per Cent. Dividend Declared Yester-
day.
The auction for choice of boxes at the jun
Tor promenade was we'll attended, and the
bonuses paid were larger than those for pre-
vious years. The premiums ranged from $40
to $50. The prices last year ranged from $40
to $50. Yesterday afternoon dividend of
% per cent. was declared by the promenade
committee upon the price paid for boxes and
seats, not the bonus alone, because Of the I'M
precedented size Of the bonuses. Considera-
BILE comment has been aroused among the
students concerning this premium. It IL
generally thought that the committee should
have given the bonus over and above what
was needed to the university crew, instead
Of giving dividend to those who bought tho
boxes.

which III entirely restricted to members of
the university, will be sold by auction at 274

A Reported Consolidated Project 70
Radically change Its Local Layout
I'm Bridgeport.
The latest report about the probable ac-
ton of the Consolidated road for four
tracking and doing away with grade cross
ings in Bridgeport differs from those pre-
viously discussed by the newspapers. For
mer plans speculated upon were the eleva~
ton of the track through the city along the
present layout, or the removal of the tracks
to the north of the city. A combination of
these plans was also talked of as not unlike
ly. The rumor is that both these schemes
have been virtually overshadowed, and that
the tracks will be carried from the Manga
tuck wharf by an elevated bridge across the
harbor to the end of the Gut, striking the
east end at Cookies Point. This project, it
ID said, was fully discussed by the directors
at the last meeting, and received such favor
able consideration that its execution appears
to be assured. The Farmer says: The pro-
posed bridge structure will be made large
enough for the two additional tracks the
road is now laying from New York. It ia
asserted that the matter has progressed 30
far that the Consolidated officials are ne
gotiating for the land in the vicinity of the
Naugatuck wharf which would be needed.
The scheme includes the erection of depot
| in that vicinity.
There is strong air of FEASIBILITY about
the report. To get land along the present
line for two more tracks or land for q new
depot on the location of the present one IL
almost an impossibility. Hardly less puzzling
is the grade crossing problem. By taking q
| bee line across the harbor all these difficult
ties would be obviated and furthermore there
would be a shortening of the line by about
one mile. OF course the bridge structure
would cost very large sum, but the expense
would probably be less than by accomplish
ing the improvements after any of the Other
| plans that have been preached. The orig.
inal surveys for the road contemplated {
route across the harbor from the present
Naugatuck wharf, but that plan was finally
building Of the road conditions have changes
wonderfully and the rejected scheme is nov
quite likely to be resorted to.

Demands q Payment.
John ]. Clerkin appeared before the Select
men last night accompanied by his counsel,
ex-Judge William B. Stoddard, and de-
manded payment for his services as clerk of
the board during part of Major Todd's
regime - town agent. This the board was
not inclined to do upon the instant.
The bill, amounting to $290.34, has been
before the board ever since Clerkin left his
position as clerk Of the board.
"Why has the bill not been paid beforea"
asked General Sloat.
"Because of the personal spite and tyranny
of Todd" sharply answered Clerkin.
Several other questions were asked which
were not very agreeable to the former clerk.
Finally General Slost objected to the bill b.
cause 1t was not itemized.
"You never saw bill made out better
than this is" exclaimed Clerkin excitedly.
"That's the only proper way to make out q
bill. II that bill isn't made out right never
saw one that was"
Sit down, Clsrkiu, sit down. intsrposed
his attorney.
Well, won't sit down. I'll tell them
what think of them. They're not going to
make me moro trouble than they ever made
any other man.
Now sit down or I'll leave the room, re-.
turned sx-Judge Stoddard.
He sat down. A proposition was then
made TO refer the bill TO the board of finance.
This was again strongly protested against by
Clerkin who said he had been there too many
times already.
The bill was returned to Clerkin to be
itemized.
A bill of $500 from Daniel Kelly for
plumbing at the almshouse was ordered
paid.
