Gov David B. Hill will succeed William
NJ. Evarts in the United States Senate.
What course Gov. Hill would elect to pur-
sue in this matter has all along been an
enigma. That he had it in his own hands
to take the office or name the man for it
was entirely evident. At the last moment
he gave the word for his own nomination,
which took place on Tuesday, and his form
al election followed on Wednesday. He had
81 votes to 70 for Mr.. Evarts. To secure
his election the vote of one assemblyman
was necessary who is under indictment for
forgery. The question now is whether Hill
takes the senatorship on the general prin-
cipe that a bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush, and thus leaves the field clear for
Cleveland's nomination in 1892, or whether
he regards it as being in his own case, con
trary to all precedent, a sure stepping stone
to the White House.

Reports Of extremely cold weather CON
tinue tobe received from Europe. The har
bors of Toulon and Laseyne are frozen over
for the first time. The Seine is filed with
floating ice. In Paris the authorities have
built fires in the open air, at which the
wretchedly poor may warm themselves, and
various public buildings have been opened
to furnish them shelter. In the country
districts of France and Spain the deep
SHOWS have driven the wolves into the vi
cinity of towns and cities causing terror
among the inhabitants. Heavy snow storms
have fallen throughout Greece, and also in
Algiers and Tunis. Vessels from Algerian
ports have come into European ports on the
Mediterranean covered with ice. One cause
of the great suffering from the unusual
weather is that none of the houses in the
countries mentioned are built to resist the
cold or have adequate facilities for warm
ing in severe weather. There will doubt
less be great increase of mortality among
invalds who have sought health resorts in
southern France and Spain.

POLICE COURT.
John PatrosI<i Charged With the Theft
 of $255.


 An army of Lithuanians were in court this morning, some as witnesses and others as spectators at the trial of John Patroski for theft of $255 from a fellow countryman named Pavenski. The latter had the money sewed up in his coat, which he left hanging on a nail in his room Thursday night about ' o'clock. At o'clock he discovered that the money had been stolen and paper substituted. Patroski was sus- pected because of his spending money freely in different saloons, although he had worked only two weeks in month. Through an interpreter this morning it was learned that Patroski was drunk on Friday and Saturday, and had been seen with bills in his possession in Mahoney's saloon Tn the Brooklyn dis trict. Patroski denied all knowledge of the theft and said the money he had was some which he received from farmer for whom he had worked The evidence was so conflicting that Judge CoWell continued the case until tomorrow morning to allow Officer Dodds to look further into the matter Bonds of $500 were asked.
 William Whims, who has appeared before the court before, was charged with drunkenness. He came to town Saturday with a load of Middlebury cider on. He was fined $3 and costs.
 George Welton, charged with breach of the peace in creating disturbance at his home, at the suggestion of his at torney, R. A. Lowe, had hls case con- tinued for week. It is probable that divorce proceedings will be introduced before that time.

What Was Done at Saturdays Meeting
 of the Board of Education.

What Was Done at Saturdays Meeting
 of the Board of Education.
 Last Tuesday night at the conclusion of the meeting of the board of educa- ton Rev R. W. Micou, member of the board, informed Clerk A. J. Smith that it would be unnecessary for him to at tend the adjourned meeting set down for Saturday afternoon, MT Smith said that the charter provided that all meet ings be attended by the clerk. ttWell, you can do as you please about it, "added MT Micou, and the matter was dropped. Section Il of the charter reads as fol lows:
 "The clerk of said Center school dis trict shall be clerk of each of said boards and shall attend all their meetings; he shall keep true and correct record of all said meetings which shall at all times be open to the inspection of any of the members of said boards or any taxpayer of the Center school district" As it was clearly his duty to attend the adjourned meeting the clerk was present Saturday afternoon. The meet ing was for the purpose of making ap- pointments and determining the rating of teachers.
 At Tuesday nights meeting Charles C.. Root moved that John A. Moran be ap- pointed assistant principal of the High school. Rev R. w. Micou stated that Paul Klimpke, the present assistant, had applied for re-appointmcnt. MT Root then withdrew his motion. The matter
 was finally tabled until Saturday. Af- ter a lengthy debate at Saturdays meet ing the matter was again tabled until the Donald, the Rev J. A. Mulcahy and Dr
 Hayes favored appointing MT Moran to the High school; John Henderson, Jr, | wished him placed over the Bishop street school. c. G. Root. the Rev MT
 Micou and John w. Webster were of the opinion that he should be appointed
 principal of the Porter etreet school. | After this matter had been disposed
 of Rev Mir Micou moved that they ad-
 journ as the board of education and imme ediately meet again as the board of school visitors. This motion was car
 ried. There can be no doubt as to the object of Rev MT Micou's motion. It is plain that he wished to exclude the clerk from the meeting at which the
 rating of teachers would be determined. Although it is generally acknowledged
 that the clerk had legal right to at tend the meeting of the school visitors. | yet rather than create scene he quietly | left the room. a.- Why he should be barred out or why any attempt should be made to hide from the public the business transacted
 by the board has not yet been explained.
 If anything Clerk Smith has been too cautious about divulging the business of
 the boards. Through courtesy to the
 members he has always made it point to ask for instructions as to what news
 to give out for publication, although the charter plainly states that the books should be open for inspection at all times.
 Another meeting of the board will be | held this evening,

 pointed Temporary Chaplain of the
 c. N. G. .r...n.
 General Embler favors disseminating the practice of naming encaInpments for the governor and brigadier-general and favors adoption of permanent name-the Camp of Instruction of the National guard.
 On the Mantle camp ground this year there will be d Y. M. c. A. tent for the holding of religious meetings by the chaplains and to furnish place where the soldiers may find newspapers to read and accommodations for writing letters.
 A Hartford man argues that Roman Catholic priest should be appointed to a temporary chaplaincy in the c. N. G., now that the brigade is to spend a Sun day in camp, inasmuch as many mem- bers of tEe brigade are Catholics and should not be deprived of an opportun- ity to attend mass.

The Co c Team Defeated By Narrow
 Margin in Naugatuck.
 It was not the Brooklyn Athletic club base ball team which played Tn Nauga- tuck Saturday, although advertised as such. It was the Go G team. The game was a brilliant one and full of good plays as well as plenty of wrangles between the teams and the umpires Donahue, the pitcher for the Water burys, proved an enigma for the home team and would have won the game were it not for some very rank decisions by Kiely. the Naugatuck umpire, who is also a member of the ttam and a stockholder of the association. The Co C team had the game wen in the last inning when Curtin knocked a ball along the line of third base crossing the third base bag and going into left field. Two runs came in on the hit, which would have won the game had not the umpire, although big kick was made, tors who saw the ball called it fair. Go G was then unatle to score but one run, losing the game by score of 8 to 7. The features of the game were the pitching of Donahue and catching of McAlenny, the latter also making four of the seven runs. German played a good game in the field and at the bat. FitZ- gerald on third helped as much as any thing to lose the game for his nine. McAlenny on right field made a phe- nomenal catch of a long fly and re- ceivsd the applause of the spectators. Klobedanz brothers, Phelan, Weary and Hennessey played good game for their side. The Co G team hereby challenge the Naugatucks to play on their own grounds within two weeks for $25 a side. A forfeit has been deposited in the hands of Cal O'Brien of Naugatuck.
 The long talked of game between the Abrigador Athletics and the St Mary's school nine was played Saturday and was hotly contested at the old polo grounds. It was nip and tuck until the ninth inning and was finally won by the Athletics 15 to 13. Atletic battery Ryder and Corlin; St Marys, Rylie and Brennan.

Favorable Results Produced by the
 Recent Rains.
 Cool, cloudy and damp tells the story of the weather in New England during the greater part of the week just passed. Moderate to heavy rains fell generally throughout New England on the 4th, and on the 7th-9th, making the fall for the week slightly above the average. It was very beneficial to most crops and probably injured none, except that it injured hay that was partly cured; con- siderable injury being reported from the southern states in that respect. Green corn and grain were slightly injured by high winds on the 9th and 7th in west ern Massachusetts.
 The low temperature favored the rank growth of potatoes and grass, but much warmer weather is needed for corn and tobacco and for garden vegetables, although these crops are by no means stsnding still waiting for more favorable condi tions, but are growing steadily There has been very little sunshine during the | week and in consequence some crops have need of more sunshine very much. Having is but little further advanced than It was week ago on account of the very unfavorable weather. A few farmers in the south secured their hay in June; others have their grass nearly cut and report that the remainder is being much injured by the rain and is growing poorer in quality, and still others that the grass is still green and is gaining in quantity. In the north all reports indicate that grass is still growing rapidly and that much larger crop will be gathered than has been anticipated.

 Rev w. P. Elsdon created quite sensation in his sermon at the Baptist church last evening. His discourse was devoted to answering reasons given by young men why they were not chris ians. In the course of his remarks he referred to one of the principal manu- lecturers of the city in this manner:
 ''There is certain manufacturer in town who in some strange manner is working himself into some of the lead ing factories, securing controlling in- terest. He is president of several. Over every shop on which he lays his unholy hands he casts a blight and mildew. ground to the dust. May he get the grace of God in his heart so hot that 1t will burn the meanness out of it.
