On account of the hot weather last night

At the special meeting of the board of
aldermen last night, called by Mayor Sar-
gent to consider the report Of the commit
tee appointed by the superior court on the
redivision of the city hall, but eleven
members appeared, Aldermen Chatfeld,
Hitler, Blskeslee, Callahan, McKiernan,
Kaehrle, Gilhuly, Kelly, Sonnenbsrg,
johnson and Prince. City Clerk Downes
made futile attempts to summon another
member and thus secure quorum.
For the first time in many years the
republicans were in majority, but were
unable to do anything for ali that. The
present mayor and the alderman from the
First were both present to see that the
dignity of the mayor was not lowered by
an inferior Office. Mayor Sargent said
last night that he would call no other
extra meeting. The matter will conse-
quently rest till the first Monday in
August, when the next regular meeting OF
| the board will be held.
The sentiment of the board was in favor
of buying the hall and renting part of il

| to have been introduced at the meeting:

CONCERNING THE STATE MAPS.

1
The Work OF Preparation Almost
Completed. ID
Considerable interest is being at present
manifested in the maps Of Connecticut,
which are being prepared under the direc-
ton of the United States geological sur
vey. The proof sheets have already been
received by the commissioners who are at
work making the final correction, in order
to have them ready to present to the next
legislature.
The Omitted States Geological Survey"
makes the survey and prepares the plates
for the maps, the state and the United
States each paying half the expense. The
printing and publishing of the maps for
the public must be provided for by the
state itself.
The state has not yet madeany provision
for printing. Doubtless the next legisla-
| ture will do 80 when the matter comes be-
fore it.
The field work ny the survey is now fn
ished, and the sheets are in various stages
of preparation. Some are engraved and
| nearly ready for the printer and it is ex
/
from this date.
| When published the maps will be Of two
kinds; one, in sheets, drawn on larger
scale and giving more detail of topography;
the other, wall map, drawn on a smaller
scale.
| The first will be on a scale of about a
mile to the inch. Each sheet will be about
IA by 10 inches and will cover about 220
square miles of territory. The sheets are
drawn irrespective of town. county, OF
| similar lines, each extending quarter of q
degree of latitude and longitude. They
are in conformity with those being pre-
pared by the general government for other
states and will doubtless form, ultimately,
part of great atlas of the whole coun-
try.
Twenty of these sheets fall entirely
within the state and fourteen others, along
the borders, will overlap into the adjoin.

BURGLARY ON CHAPEL STREET.

The Residence of Charles e. Crutten-
den Broken Into and Robbed in the
Daytime.
A very mysterious burglary occurred
sometime between o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon and o'clock last evening. The
house of Charles E. Cruttenden, at 613
Chapel street, was entered and many ar
ticles of iewelry and some money were
| taken.
Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock
Mrs. Cruttenden and family went out for
a ride. The servant was allowed to take
the afternoon off, and so from till z
o'clock there was nobody in the house.
The back door leading into the kitchen
has glass lights in it. One of these was
smashed and the key, which was in the
lock, was turned and an entrance thus eff
fected. The burglars, after gaining ad-
mission to the house, ransacked every
drawer, trunk and pigsonhole in the
house, from cellar to attic. They took
$25 in money, a gold watch, chain and
charm and every other small article of
value that could be easily carried away.
The job was done 30 completely and
with such quietness that none of the
neighbors knew anything was going on
When Mrs. Cruttenden returned the house
was found to be in disorder and bureaus
were turned inside out and ransacked
The police were Immediately notified, and
! were soon at work upon the case. Their
: are scarcely any clues. 1t is believed tina
there were two concerned in the burglary
The burglary was carried out in the SAM
manner that two others were last summe
when the residences of Councilman jaime
b. Mcdonald on Garden street, and a resi-
dence on Whalley avenue at the corner o
Winthrop avenue, and another on Orang
! street, were robbed. In all these cases tn
burglary was committed in open daylight
and the same kind of articles were stolen
