NEW HAVEN. Dec 5.-The town and city
election is in progress here to-day and al
though the weather is extremely cold and
disagreable heavy vote will be polled.
Besides the selectmen and other minor
offices of the town government, members
of the common council are to be elected in
every ward. There has been much hard
work by both parties and it is safe TO say
that the campaign has been the most vigor-
Gus and IN some respects the bltterest
witnessed in town election in years.
There is much speculation as TO the
strength the American Protective asso-
citation and the temperance people will
develop, Both organizations have entered
the field and have conducted quite cam
paign.

The Midnight Alarm" as produced
last season. and the whole play as wit
messed last night at the National theater,

production, SO numerous have been the
changes. The play has been reconstructed

now rank as one of the best plays on the

presenting it. there is no reason why it
should not hold place with the leading

The finance committee Of the Salem
Savings bank has made an examination Of
the affairs of the bank and feels justified
in announcing that the deficit in the &C
counts of Clarence Murphy, the late re
ceiVing teller of the bank, will not exceed
$4,000. Two Of the commissioners OF saw
ings banks have been present at the bank
and authorize the statement that this sum
can be charged OF at once from the undi-
vided profit of the hank, which now
amounts TO S6t,6ls, without affecting any
future dividends"
This announcement of the approximate
amount of the defalcation is Il great sur
prise, Is il was supposed the loss would be
largely to depositorS who had not been
credited properly on deposits, and the gen
eral impression is that the end is not
reached in the matter yet.

has spent considerable time at n gambling

A Dead Horse Extracted from Its Deep
Death Place.
Yesterday morning several hundred
people watched the process of extracting
horse from 45-ioot we'll at the corner
of Third and Alameda streets. The
animal had been killed by falling in the
we'll the day before, while being led
across insecure boards by colored
woman.
The contractors for removing dead
animals did the work. A derrick was
brought into play and man lowered 10
make q tie around the animal. 1t was
soon found that the horse had started
for China, as nothing could be seen but
one hoof. A hitch was made and the
and the windlass started. After several
revolutions were made, noise was
heark that sounded like an explosion,
but upon investigating 1t was found that
it was the parting OF the animal from
the mud below. After steady turn of
the drum for some time, the horse was
brought to the surface, put into the
animal hearse and carted to the crema-
tory to be cremated.

velopment OF Southern California would
cease II the market was allowed to con-
tinue in its present shape. He called
upon all to rally to the support of the
movement, and quoting from famous
general who, upon the eve OF O great
battle, had said ''Put none but Amer
leans on guard" closed with burst OF
eloquence to "put none but CalifornianH
in charge" The action was carried as
originally presented.
The next section, applying to the pay
ment OF the expenses OF the eastern
branches and representatives. was
amended slightly from the original by
Mr.. Story to read that the expenses
shall be borne by Southern California
pro rata.
The remaining sections were adopted
without change, and the report as o
whole was unanimously adopted amid
great enthusiasm.
DR.. Nisbet moved, and was seconded
by Mr.. Story, that the report be printed
in book form and be distributed to the
fruit growers of this section.
Mr.. Holmes thought that this would
incur unnecessary expence, as the local
daily papers would publish it in full.
The motion of DR.. Nisbet was finally
carried.
Mr.. Taylor next arose and moved that
the district of Covina Azusa and Glen
dora be incorporated with that of Po-
mena. No action was had upon this
motion, but it called forth the fol-
lowing, offered by DR.. Niabet, being
adopted: That the committeeman in
each district call meeting in the dis
trict as early as possible to consider
district lines, and II there Is any dis
pute az to the lines or desire to make
any change, to appoint delegate to
confer with those qfa*l7er districts and
to generally see that the local associa-
tions are completed in his district.
Mr.. Bakewell then presented the
question Of what would constitute the
regulation carload, and made the follow
ing motion, which was adopted:
That at the earliest possible moment
the central board of control establish q
regulation carload as to eize of oranges,
which shall be quoted whenever car
load is asked for or made.
The matter OF the picnic to the sea-
shore was also presented by Mr. Bake
we'll. 1t was stated that the special
rates from the railroads would depend
largely upon the number who COM
posed the party. 1t was decided to
leave the collection of lists to the asso.
citation managers, the names to be sent
to G. r. Robinson, room 36, Bryson
building, in this city.
After discussion of some minor top
les the meeting adjourned subject tc

Justice Bartholomew Gave Her Judg-
meat Yesterday.
Miss Grace Lockwood's suit in her en-
deavor to collect three weeks back pay
for playing narrowing parts in some OF
the good old plays at popular prices at
the Music Hall thsater, was decided
by Justice Bartholomew on what GER
tainly seems to have been an equitable
basis.
It was shown from the evidence that
Mr.. Craig, whom the young lady sued,
was not Obliged to hire an express wagon
to cart the coin made by the company to
bank. Owing to. its cooperative fea-
lures and possibly the acting, there was
very little hope that any one would be
rich. Mr.. Craig showed that he had
received Just 50 during his connection
with the management Of the Craig COM
pany.
Justice Bartholomew has never acted
and he don't know whom . person plays
"leads," bit he got right down to the
cooperative features of Mr.. Craig's COM
pany in grest shape.
Miss Lockwood had been the happy
recipient during the memorable day OF
her engagement, not only of recall,
but of $3.50 which became absolutely
necessary to furnish the einews of war
with which to act. The justice made q
rapid mental calculation and saw that if
Miss Lockwood should be put on the
same cooperative basis as Mr.. Craig,
the manager, who only got So, she
would be entitled in addition to her
$3.50 to $3.50.
Upon this equitable and just arrange
ment judgment went for that amount
for the fair plaintiff. Miss Lockwood
emerged triumphant from the court
room, but the problem is where will she
get the $7.50?la gsi

There was very vicious set-to yester-
day afternoon in front OF the grand jury
room in the court house, between Dep
uty Sheriff Fred II. Mellus and his
brother-in-law Sam Hamilton.
The domestic troubles OF Mr.. Hamil-
ton are very we'll known through publi-

suit brought by his wife is pending in
the superior court. During the pend
ency of the action the children of the
couple are in the custody OF the mother,
with an order by the court regulating
the times the father may see them.
Yesterday Hamilton went out to the
residence of Mr.. Mellus on Temple
street to see the children. They were
not there. Later Mrs. Mellus told her
husband that Hamilton had frightened
her.
Hamilton came up In the court house
to the floor where Mellus was standing
guard over the grand jury. As he passed,
Mellus called him and told him that his
house out on Temple street was his own,
and he did not want Hamilton to 90
there and frighten his wife. One word
brought on another. and Hamilton
called Mellus, according to the state.
ments of byBtanders, a cur. Mellus re-
torted by saying Hamilton was g big
brute. To this other hard words were
added, and blows were passed. Mellus,
while shorter than Hamilton, is active,
and he hit Hamilton in the head with a
swinging blow that knocked d him down.
He began to pound him, when the men
were separated. Mellus put Hamilton
under arrest, and afterwards swore out
complaint against him in Justice Sea-
mans court, charging him with disturb
