Meeting of the State Central Committee
i'm New Haven.
New HAVEN, Oct 29.-The meeting of
the democratic state central committee
was called to order at o'clock this
afternoon. The meeting is behind
closed doors and the members refuse to
give out much information. Senators
Reed and Seymour called but were re-

one additional delegate for each
additional thousand votes cast or frac-
ton thereof, exceeding 500.
Mr. Vance believes his system will be

"The Stepdaughter."
The Support of a Pauper.

WILLIMANTIc, Oct 29.-The authori-
ties here have received from GLASGOW,
Scotland, inquiries regarding woman
named Caroline Morse, whose maiden
name was Diancao. Twelve years ago
the Diancao girl was married to man
named Morse here and after living with
him for some time she was confined in
the states prison for a term of years.
After her release she returned to Scot
land and the question now is who is to
support her as she is a pauper. The
Scotch officials want to saddle her on
this country, but probably will not be
successful

ROAD AND SEWER BOARDS MEET.
Paving Contractor Thompson Receives



Instructions.
Commissioner Stevens presided over
the meeting of the sewer board last
evening, in the absence of Mayor Bald
win.
Owners of property on Bishop street
were given hearing upon the matter
of laying a sewer on the street. The
majority opposed the measure and it
was laid upon the table.
A petition was received for a sewer
on Phoenix avenue extension. A hear
ing upon the matter will be given on
next Wednesday evening.
1t was voted to recommend to the
common council that the following
appropriations be made for next year:
Repairs and maintenance $500; new
work $25, 900; total, $33. 500. 1t is ex-
pected that very expensive sewer will
be built in Brooklyn next year and the
appropriation of the 1915, 200 for the new
work was accordingly made.
John w; Gaffney appeared before the
road board, representing John w. Calf
ney & Co, who were awarded the
Meadow street paving contract. Mr.
Gaffney said for want of familiarity
with the work they figured 40 cents per
yard too low. He said his firm was
prepared to carry out their contract,
but would appreciate any help from the
board. Mr. Gaffney's bid was $2.E per
yard and with an addition of 40 cents
would still make his contract 2 cents
per yard less than the next lowest bid
der. The matter was thoroughly dis
cussed. 1t was decided to lay it over
until the next meeting.
1t was voted to recommend the fol-
lowing appropriations for 1892: New
work, $15 1000; repairs, 10000; paving,
$15 900; total, $50, 900.
The street inspector was instructed to
have Great brook at Meadow street
cleaned before paving is commenced.
City Engineer Cairns came before the
board and said that Contractor Thomp-
son was not paving Grand street ac-
cording to the specifications. He
thought all the blocks already laid
should be taken up and reset. Mr.
Thompson claimed that he had two of
the best PAYERS he could find in New
York working upon the job. After
considerable discussion it was voted that
Mr. Thompson secure competent help
and do the work to the satisfaction of
the city engineer.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
Connor and Richardson Likely to L

Connor and Richardson Likely to Leave
; the New YOrks.
There is going to be some fun in the
New York club, says to-day's New
York Herald. The directors may be
given something to think about if they
do not act at once. 1t is j. Walter
:Spalding's idea to cut salaries, and as
that is not the New York way but the
Chicago way of doing business it is
likely that the club will lose some of its
best players. Whistler, one of the best
men on the team, has signed with the
Washingtons for next season. And it is
very likely now that when the next sea-
son opens Conner and Richardson will
be among the missing ones.
Manager Barnie, of the Athletics, is
smarter chap than most people give
him credit for being. He IS going to
corral some of the Giants if possible.
Yesterday he had long conferences with
Richardson and Conner, who had come
down from his home in Waterbury.
Conner and Richardson are chagrined
because they cannot get the salaries
from the New York club which they de-
serve. Last season they accepted cut,
as the club had lost money the year be-
fore. But last season the club made
money and they think it no more than
JlSC GndC Lney receive CHelE lOEueE
salaries they had before the Players
league was started.
Conner has agreed to go with the
Athletics if Richardson will go. Con-
nor has had an interview with President
Day and offered to sign for three years
at salary of $4,000 a year. He also
wanted the club to take the stock he
holds in the club off his hands. All
this has been refused. Barnie has
offered to take Connor for three years
at his own figures, with guarantee
bond signed by three responsible bust
ness men. He also agrees to take the
stock Conner holos in the New York
club off his hands.
Richardson has been offered 81 500 to
join the Athletics by Barnie. He told
Barnie that he would see President Day
| first and if his terms were not agreed to
he would go the Athletics. He wants
81 800 Last season he received $780,,
paltry sum for the good work he did,
especially as that is about the lowest
salary any second baseman in the
league received. Richardson is looked
upon as the best second baseman in the
league, and he certainly deserves all he
asks.

Military at the Worlds Fair.

A large assemblage of military men
met in the Worlds fair rooms at Chi

After considerable discussion a resolu-
ton was adopted that such military
display is expedient and that the several
states be requested to send as large a

John s. Murphy, the Irish comedian,
will appear this evening at the opera
house in his creation of "Bouchal
Bawn," a new and most interesting
character and the title role of four, act

play abounds in romantic, thrilling
scenes based on a story of heart and
home in Ireland, and is prolific in that
exquisite pathos and sparkling comedy
for which Irish plays are noted. Mr.
Murphy has secured an excellent sup
porting company. A special introduce
ton in the way of realistic Geographic
rescue will be introduced.

Her Woman's Will Defeated
Him.

A theatrical man tells the following
story. He did not attempt to vouch
for its truth, so the writer does not,
merely giving it here for what it is
worth as an illustration ola woman's
will. The man who told the story al
so disclosed then ames ofthose about
whom it is related, but owing to the
doubt about the absolute veracity of
the tail it would not be fair TO mention
the names. Suffice it to say that
one was an actor and the other an
actress, and both very well known
to the public. So call the actor Y,
because that is about as far as one
can get from his name, and the ac-
tress Miss A, because her name
is nothing like that either.
Miss A besides being perhaps
the most pro minent chararter in the
play was also tie stage manager, and
it was she who regulated MIR. Y-s
salary.
Now y had long contended that
his salary was not one-half what IT
should be, and Miss A. declared
as firmly that this was neither here
nor there, for the salary would re-
main unchanged. This condition OF
affairs did not make the two love
each other as good christians are ex-
pected to do. Such scenes as these
(behind the flies, of course), became
frequent:
when are you going to raise my
salary?"
"Never."
