The Mayor and the Board of Public
Works.
The mayor started business in earnest
last evening at the meeting of the board
of public works. A number of little
items of business with no quorum present,
but finally Commissioner Todd made his
appearance, and things received a more
Legal hue.
Fhe bill of James Delehanty of $26 for
ice furnished last summer at the supply
house on Spruce street was presented.
Mr.. Delehanty stated that he was author
lied to do SO by Frank Campbell, acting
under the authority of Mr.. Kent, who was
superintendent of streets at the time. Mr..
Kent refused to acknowledge the bill and
matter was left with the mayor.
The desire of the Southern N. E. tele-
phone to erect new telephone poles where
needed in the city was referred to the park
commission with power to act.
The mayor was also instructed to adver-
tise for bids for materials for the city,
use.
The matter of procuring the earth filling
for the protection of the piling of the
boulevard sewer was referred to the city
engineer and the superintendent of streets.
The mayor stated to the board that he
had notified the Old Colony Distilline

Clay street.

THE HARTFORD MIDDLE.

How to Settle It-Talk of the Press.
The deadlock at Hartford and the strange,
anomalous situation of affairs regarding
the state offices, so novel in the history of
politics in the land of steady habits, con-
tinues to be more or less exciting, but the
business industries of the state 60 along as
usual, and it is generally conceded that a
solution of the difficulty will be found ere
long. The Hartford Courant says the
democrats themselves begin see that they
have made mess of it, but Morgan g.
Buckley is by the constitution of Connec-
ticut governor of the state until his sue
cessors be duly qualified, and section 9 of
article 4 says the governor "shall take care
that the laws be faithfully executed"
Another phase of the middle is thus set
forth: "Suppose first for the sake of Illus
tration that Mr.. Norris seeing the mistake
he has made, and realizing his duty to pull
out of the chaos that his party is spread-
ing, should decide to resign Some peo-
pie have suggested this. But, if he has a
gavernorship to resign, then under the
constitution Mr.. Alsop, having a stronger
claim to the second place, would set up
that he thereby became governor, and SO
on. Norris resignation would do him
credit, but not aid the situation"
Of course the leading question is what
will be the outcome of all this kettle of
fish. That is question which the legisla-
ture must tackle and dispose of, and Off
GERS at Hartford will claim an unusual
| share of public attention this week.
The Norwich Bulletin says, regarding
the official power of moderator:
'sThe law gives the moderators at cleo
tons the right to throw out certain bal
lots for certain well defined and exact rea-
| sons. And it requires them to 'sspecif-
cally state those reasons on the "face of
the returns" They have no more power
to throw out a ballot for any other than
legal reason or to throw one out without
specifically stating" the legal reason, than
they have to burn the -ballot-bo1es and
hang the counters.
The stface of the returns" show that
certain moderators threw out more than
hundred ballots for no reasons at all,
legal or otherwise, so far as the returns
state. ... III 49, ~
A moderator has no power to throw ont
ballot but for legal reason. If he does
so his action is void per &c."
The Bridgeport Standard says: s'The
Waterbury American Gnd.) has piece of
cold comfort for the democrats at this par
ticturlar juncture which must be to them
like snow ball to hungry man on win
ter's day, 1t advises that if they can hold
their present position and oblige the re-
pubIcans to continue the administration
Of Governor Buckley for two years more
they (the democrats) can go before the peo-
pie with an admirable argument in favor
of constitutional reform!
When we consider how constitutional re-
form was kicked OUT of their party con-
vention and denied plank in their latest
platform, we can understand how fierce
they are for it."

Jan. 19.-Southington was thoroughly ice
plated on Sunday and much damage was done
to shade and fruit trees. The large peach
orchards in the neighborhood of Shuttle meadow
sustained the most injury and in some
of them one-fourth of the trees are broken.
Apple orchards look as if a hurricane had passed
nearly an inch thick on the trees and the ground
is strewn with limbs and branches. The electric
tramwsy track is several inches under ice and
the cars were unable to run for two days. It is
regarded as the severest ice storm ever known
here and the crystal coating yielded but little
during Monday.

Another Store Also Visited.
MER1pEa, Jan. 19.-When Miss Began
of the* Forsyth Laundry company,
daughter of Police Officer Bicey Began of
New Haven, opened her store this morn
ing she saw at once that something was
wrong and on investigation found matters
still worse than they at first appeared, for
burglars had been there. But it was not
the firm she represented that were the suf-
ferers, for they escaped with the loss Of a
few cents, broken money drawer and a
broken lock on desk, but it was Miss
Nancy Hall, who occupies the rear part Of
the store, and who conducts fancy work
and fur establishment and branch of the
Woman's Exchange bakery. Miss Halls
loss is fully $3.50.
When Albert v. Griffin, manager of the
Union Pacific tea store on West Main
sta Get, went to look up his cash this morn
ing he found that he, too, had been visited
by burglars and that their visit cost him
sbost 90.

THE LATE ICE STORM.

More Concerning the Damage Done
State.
in New Haven was largely repaired yes
terday and last night out of 1000 tele-
phones here all but 100 were in trans
hitting order. Many of the fire alarm
last night and the fire alarm circuit was
not fully re-established. At most of the
steamer houses the men took turns Sun
day night in going on watch outside the
engine houses in order to make sure of
hearing an alarm of fire from the city
hall bell, should one be struck. A gang
of forty men were at work all day yester-
day on State street between Forsyth's dye
works and Neck bridge continuing the
work of repairs. Between these points
the poles and wires were an utter wreck.
The long distance telephone service was
partially started up again yesterday but
Meriden and Hartford, but much in the
way of repairs remains to be done and it
will be days before the whole damage in
the state is repaired.
SASSc
in New Haven been damaged by an ice
storm as by this one. The beauty of the
ice-covered big elm trees on the old green
yesterday, especially when the SUMS rays
Ilumined the scene, WAS the subject of
much admiration, and scores Of kodaks
were put to their best work by amateurs
in photographing this and other similar
triumphs of Jack Frost's work.
From towns in the state everywhere
come additional reports of the damage
done to the electric wires, to shade trees,
orchards, etc.
SCENE OF BEAUTY.
HARTFORD, Jan. 19.-Looking from the
wharf of the Transportation company in
this city scene met the eye rivaling in eff
feet the widest wanderings of vivid i'm
agination. In the immediate foreground
stretched the river until lost around the
Wethers6eld bend. Its ice and snow
covered surface glistened in spots as the
sun struggled for freedom through riffs
of lowering clouds. Here and there
the white expanse was dotted with
some graceful skaters. Along the eastern
bank as far as the eye could reach a fringe
of silver fret work edged the great white
curve. On the other bank the picturesque
wharf of the Colt company stood out in
bold relief against the sky, and the cupola
of the factory just appearing over cluster
of whitened buildings looked like the bell
tower of some holy mosque. At the
wharves between the armory and the State
street dock, several barges and schooners
lay without a sign of life upon them
Their masts and rigging hung with icy
stalactites and made them look like the
miniature boats Of the, Bohemian glass
blowers. A solemn stiffness pervaded the
atmosphere, giving the whole scene deep
ly impressive effect. -. - - 49,. :
