THE BODY RECOVERED.

John CostelIoss Remains Found on the shore at short Beach-FOMl Play Suspected, but Not Substan- tiated.
 The body of John Costello of Northford, who has been missing since July 4, was found yesterday morning about o'clock by some fishermen, lying on the extreme eastern shore at Short Beach. Costello had been for some time employed by E. R. Kelsey, proprietor of the fertilizer factory. He was last seen on the evening of July 4 at Short Beach, and is said to have been somewhst under the influence of liquor at that time. At first the case did not look like one of accidental drowning, owing to | the fact that cut was discovered on his neck underneath the right ear, and also that no water came from him when he was turned over. In addition to these facts 1t was the general impression that the wind for the past few days had been blowing off shore and the tendency would have been for the body to have been blown off in stead of on the shore. These facts seemed to some extent to indicate foul play.
 The deputy coroner, Dr. Gaylord of Branford, was summoned and an investi- gation made. Dr. Gaylord said yesterday that after making thorough investigation of the case he had come to the conclusion that death was caused by drowning acci- dent. From all he could learn, Costelow fell into the water Fourth of July night from Kilroy's island, though no one saw him. There were no contusions on the head other than those which might have been caused while the body was floating in the water. There were no injuries on the body that would indicate that the man had been foully dealt with. The cut on the neck in his opinion was not such as could produce death, while the slight bruises up on the head might have been caused by the waves beating the body about upon shore. It was also ascertained that during blowing for some hours strong off the sound. A verdic was therefore according ly rendered that death was due to drown ing, ..-@

The Board of Public Works Talk 1 and Listen to Some Matters of Busl- ness.
 The board of public works met last even ing, or at least three members besides his honor, the mayor. They waited sometime for another member to put in an appear ance, but waited in vain. A number of old corporation counsel opinions were un- earthed and read over to see if the three members with the mayor present would make quorum. The legal light on the question illuminated the fact plainly that it was not quorum. A few matters of business were discussed. Corporation Counsel Driscol appeared before the board in answer to call made few weeks ago for an opinion on section 392 of the city ordinance which relates to the laying and relaying of sidewalks. This call for an opinion arose over the reported violation of certain parties on Temple and Broad strets of that section. MT. Driscon stated that he thought the matter was | rather in the province of the city attorney, | if it was 8 question of violation of the or l dinance. He went on to state further, | when asked, that he did not believe the ordinance included mere repairing, and | that few bricks could be laid in walk | which was otherwise in good condition. Treasurer W. W. Farnam appeared in behalf of Yale university to ask the privi- lege of connecting the new gymnasium on Elm street with the steam heating plant on the Elm and High street corner of the campus. The pipes now run across High street to the Peabody museum and they wish to run them from that building across Elm street to the new gymnasium
 Alderman Kelly, in behalf of Alderman Maley, appeared to speak of the bad con
 dition of Chapel street, between Hamilton ! and Wallace streets. , | Mir. Atwater said it was necessary to be- gin the new sewer on Pleasant street soon and asked MT. Hill if Superintendent Dil lon could inspect the work, as no inspector could be elected that night.
 The board will meet next Wednesday night for another hearing over the pro street. A hearing on this matter was helt at previous meeting, but there are par ties interested who live in Ohio and Cali fornia and they by law have to be notified to appear by judge of the superior court
 The members were chatting owe different things when MT. Todd asked MT. States if h.
 had any objection to granting renewal for electric light or telephone poles
 "Yes, sir," was his quick reply; ''I would like to see every wire under ground.
 He then went on to exclsim vigorousl.
 against the network of wires which nov
 runs along all the streets, and increasing
 daily in number.
 Commissioner Todd evidently was no
 expecting this outburst, and receiving i

After the elaborate supper Cap tain Sucher was called up for remarks. He thanked the company for the banquet and also for the elegantly framed resolu- tions, after which he referred to the prog ress the Light Guard had made in the last six years. Six years ago the com pany had but thirty-fve men that could be depended on. Since that time the ranks have gradually filled up and the rating has increased until last May when the company had the highest percentage in the regiment Captain Sucher expressed the hope that the pres ent officers would have the same support that he had been favored with He also stated that he intended to call meeting of the ex-members of the company for the purpose of forming 8 veterans organiza- tion.
 : Captain F. L. Lehr was then called for. He made good speech and was followed by Lieutenant Fl. s. Hamilton, Lieutenant William H. Coleman, ex-Lieutenant R. M. Walker and others.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.

 The New Organization Not Endorsed
 blythe Farmers of New England.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July S.-The new peoples party is not endorsed by the far mers of New England and New York state, according to the results of an extended canvass by the New England Homestead. The men interviewed were all prominent farmers. While some favor more inde- pendent political action than heretofore, nearly all oppose the idea of special farmers party. One or two go so far as to say that this party, if very conservative, and the right platform is put forward, will draw ten per cent. of the farmers votes in their sections, Maine and New York state, but the majority place this number far lower, from one to two per cent. being the average. The sub-treasury bill and tho loaning of new issues of paper by the gov ernment on land values are looked upon as wild schemes, but the free coinage of silver has small following. The opinion in general shows the strength of the position long held by the grange and carried out by the Farmers league, that the farmers' movement in this section of the country will consist more in independent action through the old parties than in forming; any new party, E
