The eclipse of the moon last Sunday even
ing was on time but some forgot it altogether.
The editor Of the AMERICAN was so absorbed
in outlining an article for some future num-
Der of his paper that he entirely forgot the
eclipse ami the eclipse either forgot him or
would not condescend to call his attention to
the interesting spectacle about to take place.
According to solar time the moon entered the
penumbra, or partial shadow. at about five in
the afternoon and passed entirely ont at about
20 minutes past ten in the evening. The sun,
earth and moon were in direct line at 1.40 p.
M. the moon then being in the middle of the
eclipse. or course the earth Was between the
sun and the moon. and rs the earth is much
larger than the moon the shadow that was east
upon the latter completely covered it, The
time OF The eclipse is prolonged more than the
lime necessary for the moon to pass through
the shadow Tor the latter is moving in the same
direction as the moon, though the latter moves
much the Easter so as to pass completely
| through the eclipse proper in 81 minutes. The
eclipse Was yisible over half the earth. but the
people of New England were especially fay.
ored both by position and by the clearness OF
the sky, which was cloudless.

HARTFORD, Feb. 16.-Nicholas Staub, |
democratic candidate for comptroller, took |
the Office to-day. Chief Clerk Moore turn |
ed it over to him on his demand this noon,
on receiving a certificate that took the
oath of Office on January Is. This is the
| oath taken in the senate chamber before
the house declaration.
Shortly after / o'clock Attorney Ham
mersley appeared in the comptroller's
Office and presented Mr.. Moore with the
following certificate of oath, which it will
be observed is the one administered by
Senator Pierce on the day the senate in
augurated all the democratic candidates
for state offices. Hartford, February 16,
1891, I hereby certify that on January Is,
| 1891, administered the oath required by
the constitution to be taken by all the
officers, executive and judicial, to Nicholas
Staub elected comptroller at the general
election for state officers and members
of the general assembly, held on
Tuesday after the first Monday of
1 L,
justice of the peace, Hartford county. In
a spirit of true reciprocity Mr.. Moore then
handed Mr.. Hammersley a letter from him
self to Mr.. Staub, the substance of which
was that, having received official evidence
of the taking of the oath required by the
constitution by Mr.. Staub, he, in pursu-
ance of the instructions of Comptroller
Wright, thereby turned over to Nicholas
Staub all books, papers and appurtenances
L sc IL, e .Az1
Mr.. Staub's orders. After demands and q
long struggle, Nicholas Staub, at precisely
LEO p. m, became comptroller of the
state of Connecticut. Five seconds later
Mr.. Hammersley handed Chief Clerk Moore
another document which had far more in
terest for Mr.. Moore than the preceding
one, though less to the public at large.
Staub has appointed Mr.. Moore chief
clerk of the Office.
Hartford underwent quite ferment to-
| day. There was crowd at the capitol,
assembled to see what was going to hap
pen, and from appearances one would sup
posed that theatrical show was about to
open. 1t was long time, however, be-
fore Staub appeared and qualified. By
| that time the crowd had thinned out con,
sideIably. While the crowd was waiting
much clapping was INDUCED in. One mar
suggested that Mr.. Staub was trying on 6
: costume to wear at the masquerade ball he
has promised to attend this evening. II
was insisted by several that they had pri
: vate information he was to appear as Gu
: pid. This assertion was received with ex
pressions of doubt. The chances of Mr.
,, Staub presenting himself in front of the
capitol with brass band was also consid
: cred.
John Clarity, the selectman of New Ha
ven, can claim the honor of being the frs
man in whose name Comptroller Staul
drew an order. 1t was for the funeral of ,
