City Fathers Slightly Ratified.

The city council had a long squabble
last night over the time to be allowed
the contractors for the waterworks reser-
viOr to finish their work. The discussion
finally got mixed up with the coming
city election. After running along
nearly an hour, it was discovered that it
was out of order, as the contract had
been already signed, and was out of the
hands Of the committee.

S45,OOO APPROPRIATED.

New Haven County stands Half the
 Expense For n New Bridge.
 NKw HAVEN, June 19.-This morning the state senators and representatives from New Haven county met in the common pleas court room and discussed the advisability of erecting a bridge across the Housatonic river connecting Huntington and Birmingham. There were present Senators Twitchell, Morse and Graham. and twenty representa- tives, including John O'Neill of Watsr- bury. Senator Graham of West Haven was chosen chairman. The dangerous condition of the bridge was shown and the general opinion was that new bridge should be constructed. When it came to the point of fixing the expense there was considerable friction and several motions were voted down. After two hours discussion it was voted that the county appropriate 1000 for the new bridge, and the county commis- sioners were empowered to borrow money for the purpose. There was but one dissenting vote. The meeting ad- iourped at half past twelve.

FREIGHT RATES REDUCED.

Waterbury Will Receive the Benefit
 of Sharp Railroad Competition.
 A special from New Haven says Inn portant reductions in coal freights are being made by the management of the Consolidated road. They have given their first attention to the Naugatuck railroad, and have made the rate from New York to Waterbury via this line $1. 20 per ton instead of $1.45. The New York & New England does the same on it's coal hauled from the mines, and the two thus meet the $1.20 rate which the Meriden, Waterbury & Connecticut River road has been charging for coal that it took there by way of the Connec- ticut river. A reduction of 15 to 25 cents ton will also be made on points on the Naugatuck north of Waterbury. President Clark said to a prominent rail- road official within a few days that he intended to reduce his rates from New Haven to Springfield on the main line from ninety cents to seventy-fve cents, taking in all intermediate points and New Britain, East Berlin and Sufheld, and also on the Canal road (Northamp- ton division) from New Haven to Vest field and intermediate points, including the Collinsville branch. The New York & New England will of course, reduce its New Britain rate from $1.45 J0 $l. 20 to correspond. It is reported here that these reductions had their origin in the cutting of rates by the Boston & Albany in competition with the New York & New England's all rail coal business.

News of Meriden's Missing Census
 Enumerator.

HELD FOR THE SUPERIOR COURT.

Ed Mcdonald Realizes That the Way
 of the TransRressor is Hard.
 The Mcdonald trial is finished and the unfortunate victim is bound over to the next term of the superior court under $500 bonds. Up to the writing of this article no bondsman has put in an ap- pearance and Mcdonald was taken to New Haven jail on the morning train. Hio pretended friends have now deserted him while those who were the most bitter toward him prior to his arrest are now speaking only words of sympathy.
 The sentence of the court was 8 severe one and unexpected. At the most a nominal fine was all that anyone thought of. Most of the witnesses testified to their ignorance of the affair and seemed in no way inclined to convict them selves. McDonalds story on the stand was that he met Russell few days be- fore his arrest and the latter told him that a dog fight was to take place in the old stone mill near Union City Satur- day night, and asked him to go down there and spar @ few rounds before the dog fight and take up a purse among the spectators, to be divided be- tween them. Mcdonald consented and was there for that purpose when the raid was made. On cross examination he could not be shaken in his testimony. Sheriff Sweeney and the other officers all testified to the circumstances of the raid and the arrest of Mcdonald. Professor George Hosford of Union City, put all the former witnesses to sleep in one round. His testimony fell like bomb shell among the spectators. He testified that arrangements were made for a fight and identified the referee and other people who were pre- sent when the raid was made. Hosford himself is known as an instigator of prize fights and told his story in order that he might not be arrested.
 Sheriff Sweeney, it is said, will bring into court all who were present when the raid was made.

TROUBLE IN THE GRAND ARMY,
A south Norwalk Post Likely to b<
 Disciplined.


 A south Norwalk Post Likely to be
 Disciplined.
 A Hartford dispatch says Tho Grand Army posts of the state have receiv ed an inflammatory document from Douglas Fowler post of South Norwalk, melting an attack on the quartermaster generaFs department on account of the interpre- tation of the statutes relating to the burial of veterans. The law authorizes the payment of $35 on account of funeral expenses for every indigent veteran in the state, whether the deceased served in the Connecticut quota or not. The sum of $15 is also expended for a head stone in each case.
 The Quartermaster generals office has strlctly interpreted the law, allowing the payment for funeral expenses only in the case of poverty or the refusal of friends to be responsible for the burial. The South Norwalk post has inaugurated contest for the payment in cases where the deceased leaves an estate, and has assailed the department for refusing 2 to conform to it's demands.
 An opinion has been secured from General Thomas McManus, who was quartermaster general under Governor Waller, that the law prohibits the payment as demanded by the South Norwalk Grand Army men. Depart ment Commander John c. Broatch of Middletown is also expected to take the matter in hand, disciplining the Nor | walk post.

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

The steamer Hoyt Sunk Yesterday
 1t the Housatonic River.
 Steamer Hoyt, with barge City of It. haca in tow, bound up the Housatonic river, struck on the rocks just north of Washington bridge, Stratford, late yesterday afternoon and sank. The work of raising the vessel will begin at once.
 Edward Saunders of Plainfield, took poison yesterday afternoon then went to the cemetery and died on the family lot. Family trouble the cause.
 Three weeks ago Thomas Roach of Bridgeport was standing on chair re- moving a pane of glass that had been broken in a door. The char leg broke, ing, he put out his hand to save himself, and it went through pane of glass, lacerating his fingers frightfully, and cutting the flesh off the ends of the second and third fingers. He called a physician who advised him to treat the wounds with carbolic acid to prevent gangrene. The doctor probably meant to tell him to dilute the acid before ap- plying. Roach states that the physician did not so direct him, however, and he accepted the orders literally and applied cause to regret it. The powerful acid took immediate hold, and burnt the un- fortunate mans fingers as completely as though he had thrust them into bed o1 live coals. He suffered excruciating agony, and now will have to sustain the loss of the fingers by amputation.
 Scott Beach of Norfolk shot himself in the head this morning and died in a few minutes. He is believed to have been crazy on the subject of prohibition and once before attempted to take his life. He was AS years old and leaves a wife and one child.

Coroner D0ten's Finding Regar6fin
 the Death of Leavenworth.

Coroner Doten's Finding Regar11ng
 the Death of Leavenworth.
 BRIDGEPORT. June 19.-Coroner Doten returned from Newtown last evening, having taken the statement of Henry Manville who. it is thought, caused the death of George Leavenworth of Rox- bury, last Saturday night.
 Yesterday the coroner received word from Sheriff Glover of Newtown to the effect that Sheriff Wheeler of Litchfield had apprehended Manville and brought him to Newtown. The coroner went to Newtown at once and took Manville's statement. Manville admitted a mum Der of things which had a tendency to criminate him. He did not attempt to deny that he and Leavenworth were drinking in Dailey's saloon on Saturday night and he admitted that he had threatened to throw Leavenworth into cents for the last round of drinks. Manville stated, however, that he had not meant anything by the threat and that he was joking.
 The coroner, after finishing the in quest, telegraphed the grand juror of Brookfield to arrest Manville on charge of manslaughter and bring him before a justice of the peace in that town. The coroner's finding in the Case will be handed to the state attorney today. In substance it is that Leavenworth came to his death through wounds and con- tusions on the head and that Manville not find that Manville is guilty of de- iberate murder but considers it a case of manslaughter.
 Manville is locked up in the station house at Newtown to-day and will be given hearing tomorrow in Roxbury.
