STATE sENGRRBUND.

 Rrtt

The Senserfest VIII be Held at New
 The annual convention of the state S@n- gerbund was held in S@ngerbund hall in Hartford Monday afternoon. The meeting was of special interest because of the com plication arising from the dispute of the award of last years prize. It will be remembered that the Concordia society of Bridgeport was awarded the first prize in the second class last year under protest from the Germania society of the same city. The latter society charged the Concordias with taking in outsiders to sing at the festival, which the Concordia denied. The judges withheld the prize, referring the whole matter to 8 convention of state delegates, who, at their meeting in October, 1890, decided that the Concordia was enti- tied to the prize. This society then insti- tuted suit of replevin and seized the prize, a flag, which they still hold. The matter came up before Judge Bill of Bridgeport, who decided in favor of Con- cordia. Appeal was taken to the superior court, but owing to the illness of the judge the case has not yet been decided.
 At the annual meeting of delegates of last fall, the Concordia offered to hold the next S@ngerfest. But the delay in decision about the prize has incensed the society to the point of throwing up it's engagement and resigning from the state bund.
 The state convention Monday unani- mously accepted the resignation. The Hermann Sohne Mannerchor of New Britain offered to hold the next state sangerfest, which offer was accepted. An other state meeting will be held in about a month to pass upon matters relative to the festival and to decide upon several changes in the constitution of the state
 bund, calculated to prevent the recurrence of last years trouble. The delegates to the state convention ] were the following:
 Germania Mannerchor of Union City-M. Turk Concordia of Seymour-John Bach, H. Ru mitsch.
 Mannerchor of Hartford-G. Luther, A. Treiss K. Helfricht
 sangerbund of Hartford-D'Artenay, P. Con rad, E. Witte.

 Concordia of Bridgeport-D Kiefer, Nj. Grelle Emil Haderer
 Liederkranz of Thomaston-M. Engelhardt. Lyra of Waterbury-W. Heger, E. Moeller. H. s. Mannerchor of New Britain-E. Hagish M Schiller.

DEATH OF WNI. l.. SMEDLEY,

Of the Firm of Smedley Brothers
 & Co.
 William L. Smedley of this city died yesterday at his home at 194 Whalley ave- nue, in his eighty-frst year. He came to this city twenty-three years ago, when he with his sons established the trucking business with the purchase of one truck for two horses. This led to the establish ment of the extensive business now carried on by the wealthy firm of Smedley Broth CTS & Go. In very short time after the first truck was purchased, another was added, and the extension of the business has steadily increased up to the present time. This extension of the business was largely due to the management and busi- ness ability of the deceased, who was a man of fine social qualities, able and inter esting in conversation, and possessed of such genial temperament that it was a pleasure to meet him. During the last 1 few years he has not been actively engaged in business, and during the past season has been but little at the office at the ware house of the firm on Brewery street. Mr. Smedley was born at South Farms, Litchfield county, this state. At the death of his father he went to work with the en- ergy characteristic of New Englander and soon grew into prominence, becoming | one of the best known and respected citi- | zens of that town. He was the postmas- ter for many years and was elected rep | resentative to the legislature from Litoh- | field, both when it convened at Hartford | and New Haven. He was democrat and held in high esteem by the adherents of all political parties.
 One sister, Mrs. Conrad of Minneapolis, and one brother, James Shelton Smedley, survive him. His wife died six years ago. | He had six children, all of whom are now living in this city. Mrs. William H. Laurens, with whom he has made his home, Mrs. Amelia Cunning, Mrs. George E. Thompson, Walter, Clark and Ferdi- nand Smedley. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon.

 The senior class at Wesleyan university held a class meeting Monday at which the question of wearing caps and gowns at commencement was discussed. There are sixty students in the class and when it was .put to 8 vote only ten opposed it. There are many who favor adopting this custom of English student life for the whole senior year and it is probable that another meet ing will soon be held at which it will be decided whether to wear the cap and gown during com mencement week alone or through the whole of senior year.

Everybody that wanted to speak had a chance. There was plenty of differ ence of opinion without any ill-feeling, and the upshot of it all was about right. The schools were taken care of, the tax rate was reduced and ordered bought at a price that some thought toe high and others too low. That indicates under the law of average that it was about right Hartford Courant.

It Seemed anlApe.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 s. I think it is proper for me to say that was not the one who took the young man from his perilous situation under the horse car Monday evening. The accident was so strange that will narrate what seen. l was coming toward Elm street from the green, when I saw the Broadway Scar stop suddenly, and heard cry of alarm. I asked what was the matter, and was told that there was man thrown off bicycle and was under the car. Quite number collected immediately. One of those pres ent thoughtfully struck light, as it was quite dark under the car. The driver of the car was trod to detach his horses, which he did. Those present then lifted up the side of the car while two others took the man out and carried him into West Divin- ity hall. All did what they could. The whole affair probably lasted about ten minutes, although it seemed half an hour. No doubt much longer to the unfortunate young man. It was a case in which some who were present seemed to know what to do, and did it. I only assisted in connec- tion with others. J. A. D.

The stock market here to-day opened small fractions higher, helped by @ moderate demand from the foreigners but hammering began i'm mediately and opening prices were in most of the active stocks the best of the day. The move ments as a rule, however, were insignificant. Reading showed the widest fluctuation among the leading shares. dropping IS per cent, to 4l, but the others were all traded in within 8 range of less than 1 per cent. Chicago Gas was in de- mand at advancing prices. Cordage was the strong feature of the day. Atchison was largely traded in, but failed to move. The shorts coy, fractions were regained, the market Closing dull but firm. The final changes are all fractional losses, with the exception of Cordage, which is up 1as per cent.
 Railroad bonds were fairly active and the bssiness, which amounted to $1,814,OOO, was widely distributed.
