HONORING JOHN E. LOWELL.
Reception to the Veteran PedagoEue
 at New Haven.

RecePti lon to the Veteran PedaEoHue
 at New Haven.
 About 150 Lancasterian pupils at tended the dinner given in honor of John E. Lowell in New Haven last night.
 The dinner lasted from 9 to 10 o'clock, after which came speeches. EX-G Cover nor Harrison presided and afier few words of greeting introduced Mir Lowell. who gave cordial welcome to his old scholars. Mir Lowell has been exceed ingly feeble the past winter, and al though now considerably improved, he was not equal to the task of making a long speech.
 The feature of the evening and one which was very affecting, was when ex- Mayor Lewis came up to the center of the head table and presented MT Lowell with the old bell he used to ring out of the window of the old Lancasterian school when he wanted his scholars to come in from recess. Mir Lowell was deeply moved and in his surprise and joy could not keep the tears back. He handled the old bell fondly and talked as though he were a young man again. The old bell has been stored ill New Haven for many years and It was a fit ting sentiment which prompted its pre- sentation to the old master on this anni- versary.
 Short speeches followed by E. E. Brad ley, A. A. Ensign of Worcester, D. c. B, echer and others. A poem was read by Charles G. Merriman of New Haven. Thomass orchestra furnished the music.

pRfs1pENrKELLoaa,s RULING.
Road Commissioner Goodwin WaS Not Legally Elected.

Road ComminsiOner Goodwin waA
 Not Legally Elected.
 c. H. Goodwin, who is acting as a member of the board of road commis- sioners by virtue of the decision of Pres ident Kellogg of the council that . legally elected. The authority by which the claim is made is not Gushing but Judge Hovey. It will be remembered that the vote by which President Kel- logg declared Mir Goodwin elected re- suited as follows: Goodwin 9, Finley 2, Byrnes 1, blank 1. It was held that the blank ballot did not count and MT Good win having a majority of the remaining ballots was declared the choice of the board. That the ruling was manifestly wrong is shown the by following:
 By the charter of Hartford Ia city at torney is to be appointed by major vote of the entire court of common council in convention assembled. In the case of Cole vs Chapman, 44th Con- necticut reports, Judge Hovey holds that blank ballot must be counted. | candidates for city attorney of the city of Hartford. At a meeting of the court of common council April 15, 1878, the convention proceeded to ballot for city attorney. Forty-five ballots were cast, l one of them being a blank. The tellers, however, reported to the mayor that the whole number of votes cast was forty four, and that twenty-two of those W ere for the relator and twenty-two for the respondent. The blank ballot they did not report. The mayor thereupon declar ed that the action of the conven- tion had resulted in tie, and voted viva voce for the respondent and declared him to be elected. Among other points passed upon in the case Judge Hovey says: When there is an odd number of members present. and participating in the action of the con- vention, as there was in this case, it is obvious that there can be no election unless one of the persons voted for re- ceives majority of the votes of all the members present and participating. Nor | can an election in such a case be effect ed by the casting vote of the mayor. Forty five members participated in the | action of the convention. Twenty-three votes were therefore necessary to con- stitute a majority. The respondent re- ceived but twenty-two and was not elected. Had there been twenty three blank ballots instead of ono the twenty two votes received by the respondent would not have elected him.
 According to this ruling MT Goodwin did not have a majority of the votes cast, and President Kellogg, who is rising young lawyer, finds himself in a peculiar position.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Burkett, the former Worcester pitcher, who Is now a member of the New York National league team, does not improve. He has poor control of the ball and gives many bases on balls.
 The Evening Sun says that Dan Shan non of the Philadelphias greatly dislik es to sit on the bench while the team is playing ,and suggests that he be assigned to third base in place of Mulvey, whom he pronounces the weakest man in the team. Shannon's place Is at second, but ett there most of the time.
 Doc O'Connell of Boston and Arthur Upham, the middle weight champion of Connecticut, left on the steamer for Savannah, Ga., yesterday, where Up- ham is to fight Pat Farrell of Pit,sburg for a purse of $l ,OOO at the Young Men s Gymnaslic club. Arrangements for the seventy i've hour go-as-you-please race, which takes place Ill Chicago on May 14 to r, are be- | ing completed. The track will be fifteen laps to the mile. The following we'll knL wn pedestrians have already enter ed: George Cartrlght, Peter Hegelman, George Corners, Tom Cox, J. J. Engeld- Ellsworth, Allie Chatilain Bernard Seery, Al COurtz, Carl Lorenz, F. H. Hart, George Crozier, Charlis Hibbs.
 Roger Connor, the giant first baseman of the giants, Is putting up magniti- | cent game. He gets anything that comes his way and seems to be all over at once.
 The California Athletic club will probably declare the "La Blanche swing a foul blow. It originated with Harry Carroll, the lightweight, and is delivered with quick turn nearly around, one foot being used as pivo, 2 nd the pugilist who use it lands his wrist on his opponent three times where he lands his gloved hand once hence l it is generally blow with the wrist This is what La Blanche downed Demp. sey with.
 Manager Mutrie yesterday signed Tommy Esterbrook for the league team Tommy is to be given trial a first base, and will mako his first appearance on the bag at Boston to-day. Esterbrook is in great physical condition. and thinL he can fill the bill at first. Scanlon plays the bag fairly we'll, but he cannot hit.
 It is said that Shannon, the extra in.
 fielder of the Philadelphia Players club is to be transferred to the New Yorks Qimited). Shannon is a second basemar and shortstop, a fairly good one, and quite batsman, It is thought that he will be placed at short field, as Captain Ewing is not quite satisfied with Hat fields batting.

GREAT FIRE AT SHELTON.

The Most Serious in the History of
 the Town One Life Lost and $5o,-
 900 Worth of Property Destroyed.
 SHELTON, April 24.-The fire which broke out here about o'clock this morning proved to be the most disas- trous that ever visited this town. One life was lost and in all eight buildings were entirely destroyed. Nothing that has happened here in many years caused such excitement and half an hour after the fire broke out half of the town was on the scene.
 The comb factory in which the fire broke out burned like shavings and tn e blaze could be seen for miles around. The combustitle nature of the material in the factory caused the flames to make rapid headway and when the firemen arrived on the scene they realized that thelr efforts to save the factory would be of no avail: The comb factory was a three story structure 15O by 90. Ten minutes after the alarm was sounded the building was a mass of flames. The heat was so intense that the firemen could not stand near enough to work. Tie factory was located in the midst of a large number of frame buildings and the flames spread rapidly.
 The three story building Horace Wheeler occupied on the first floor as a SIOCoIy SlOTe ana upSIalrS as Ct nementS by the families of Charles Hopkins and Henry Smith was next attacked. The fire made short work of this block and the tenants escaped through the win dows with the greatest difficulty. Mrs File, a lady 80 years of age, was taken out dead. The fifteen year old daughter If Charles Hopkins jumped from a win dow and was seriously iajured.
 The printing house of w. J. Newhall across the street was next attacked and burned to the ground. Radcliffe's store adjoining was also burned.
 The flames then spread to the factory of the Housatonic Brass company and although desperate efforts were made to save the building it was destroyed with all its valuable machinery.
 Across from the factory was a three story building owned by Michael Toole This was the next to go. Then a brick building in the rear, owned by Sarah l.. Hood was discovered in flames, and also the house of E. D. Cotter, the oldest building in Seymour. Both were de- stroyed. At this point there was a break ill the buildings and the fire died out.
 The total loss is estimated at S5O, ,OOO. the heaviest losses beng: Housatonic Brass company, $12.O0O, we'll insured i; Comb company, $6,OOO, and Horace Wheeler 1000. The fire is believed to have been caused by spontaneous com bustion in the celluloid room of the Comb factory.

A00181nA0ut " AbOAeABs
 In this mornings Republican appear ing in which he makes a poor attempt to crawl out of . very small hole. I do not feel as if 1 ought to cross pens with a person bearing the reputation Whit ing does, but justice demands at least a few words. What Whiting means when he says he did not try to defend the case against C. & M. T. Maloney I fail to understand. It is known fact that Attorney Pierce defended him in the case, for which services said attor- ney had not been paid up to this morn ing. Whiting also says that the DEMO- GRAF only presented the bill once before. I myself presented it twice and the busi- ness manager of the DEMOCRAT has tried in vain to collect it. Now to come to the history of that s which he claims owe him. When I gave the six day race Whiting was employed as ticket seller. He only worked three days, when for reasons which were given at that time, the runners discharged their man on the door and I discharged Whiting. He was paid $4 for his ser vices. When Saturday night came I presented the bill of the DEMOCRAT and Whiting presented the balance of his bill for the week, s for services as ticket seller, having served only three days in that position. l Of course re- fused to pay him. So much for the s. He says everything went satisfactory until April 4. Does he forget the numerous bills held by different attor- neys in the city which they have tried in vain to collect? Does he forget the en- trance of a constable one evening when Whiting grabbed all the money he could and showed it into his pocket leaving the constable only some $3? Does he forget that the constable almost had him ar rested for fraud on that evening? He says that the bills for which he was at tacheC are bills of the polo club. How is it he owes the members of the polo club so much money. He says if he had known that such piece was to have been publ shed he would have fought the case. He has a chance to do so still if he wishes. He does not seem to place any confidence in the assignment which 1 held on the last race. If the defend ant in the case won as he says why is it a judgment was given for the plaintiff to recover $15. 75 with costs amounting to something like $25? l can cite bill after bill if 1 should so desire owed by Whiting personally and could point out the numerous judgments against him, the collection of which Is a regular Chinese puzzle. Now 10 conclude, I hold the assignments made to Judge Cowell and Attorney Burpee as well as the one made to Charles Messer and when Whiting sees fit to come around and settle that little $25 then the assign ments are his.

THOMAS LYNCH'S BODY FOUND.
Floating in tho Connecticut River
 NoAr Cromwell

AuoNuA Ao III NH - DoDA roC N D' Floating in tho Connecticut River
 NeAr Cromwell.
 MIDDLETowN, April 24.-The coroner sent Doctors Look and Cleaveland up to Cromwell yesterday afternoon to make an autopsy. They were unable at first to ascertain who the man was, but he was shortly identified as Thomas Lynch of Hartford. The body was clad in 8 apparently been in the water five or six weeks. The features of the face were un- recognizable. It is the opinion of the doctors that death preceded the going into the water.
 Lynch disappeared from Hartford Monday March 10. On that evening he wac seen driving in Hartford with a man named Bolan. His horse returned to his home at 3 q. m. Tuesday, with only the shaft of the buggy. The buggy was found in day or two in a small brook which runs out of Skinner's pond in the north meadows. Bolan returned to his hon @ early Tuesday morning, and his story was that he had been so drunk that he remembered nothing after driv- ing south with Lynch.
 Dr Califf, the medical examiner, was seen last evening, and said the body had doubtless been in the water six weeks. It was so decomposed that he could not tell positively whether the deceased had died from drowning or not, but he thought the probabilities were that the man had been dead when he struck the water. A handkerchief around the neck was tied very tightly, but could not have strangled the man, the doctor said, unless some one held the ends On the whole, the doctor thought the case looked very suspicious.
