SECOND DAVIS SESSION.

The Pharmaceutical Society Discuss
 Various Topics of fInterest-Nomfna.
 lions for Pharmacy COmmtssfO ners
 Next Convention at Hartford.
 The second days session of the State Pharmaceutical association opened at 10 o'clock at the Tontine hotel psrlors yester day morning. The session was devoted to the discussion of matters of various inter- est to the profession. One of the topics which caused @ general expression of opin- ion was the liquor law or that part of 1t which refers to druggists. It has recently come to the knowledge of the members of the association that one or two Bridgeport druggists are selling liquor at retail in the same manner that they would If they were running bar room. The practice was universally condemned and various means of putting an end to 1t were talked of. The sale of liquor in this way by druggists is illegal and if they are caught by the au- thorities they are liable to use their licenses just the same as a saloon keeper who vio- lates the law. The matter was referred to @ committee consisting of two members from each county, who in future report violations of the law to the commissioner of pharmacy.
 At o'clock the meeting adjourned un- til D. m. After they reassembled reports from delegates from the Rhode Island
 Massachusetts and New York State Phar-
 maoeutioal societies were reed and listened to with great interest by those present. A great many points of considerable interest were brought out.
 The following gentlemen were nomin- sted for pharmacy commissioners, one of | whom will be chosen by the governor for | state pharmacy commissioner: N. D Sevin | of Norwich, H. M. Bishop of New Haven, | T. R Shannon of Waterbury, and A. F.. Wood of New Haven.

 with chemical appliances, so that sppli-
 cants will be put through practical test of the knowledge and experience. the ob.
 ject being to bring about a more thorough | test and examination of ability.

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.

James Underwood Arrested on Sus.
 plcion of Being a Thief Will Proba-
 ably Prove to be the Man Who Sev.
 eral Days Ago Committed Burglary
 in Bridgeport and Shot Special Of-
 fcer Hayes.
 James Underwood, who gave his resi- dence as Chicago, was arrested by Officer Tighe last Tuesday evening on suspicion of being the person who stole pookstbook containing $20 60, the property of Miss Oakley of 116 Oak street, from the latter's huff while she was mak- ing a purchase in Fry's store on
 Church street The Identification of the supposed thief was not complete and &C.,
 oordingly the case was put into the hands
 of Officer O. J. Eagan to work up. The
 latter did his work so we'll that 1t is now
 more than probable that Underwood will
 be charged not only with theft, but also
 with burglary, attempt at burglary and
 assault with intent to kill.
 Tuesday evening after Underwood had stolen the pocketbook he at once proceeded to get gloriously full and while in that condition fell in with party of four other men. and while in their company threw away a pooketbook which he said he had got at Fry's in the afternoon and which answered the description of the one stolen from Mrs. Oakley. He also had in his possession revolver with which he said he had shot man in Bridgeport several days ago and which he gave to one of the quartette to keep for him. Yesterday the men reported the facts to Officer EaQan and gave him the revolver aud escorted him to the place where the pocketbook had been thrown away and recovered it. The capture is regarded ss an exceeding ly important one by the police af this city, ,, as it is believed that Underwood is the same man who in company with a pal named John Rooney several nights ago at tempted to burglsrizs the saloon of Thomas Hogan in Bridgeport but was frightened off Later they broke into John Ksne's saloon, and when discovered by Special Officer George 0. Hayes, who attempted to arrest him, Underwood pulled revolver from his pocket and shot Hayes through the left shoulder, inhicting painful but not serious wound. Underwood made his escape, but Rooney was arrested and is now confined in the Bridgeport jail. The Bridgeport authorities have been notified and will probably send officers here to day to identify Underwood

 Attorney H. B. Benton of New Haven read clipping from a Naugatuek paper, which advocated the building of the school in New Haven in very strong terms. Waterbury warmly advocated the claim of New Haven, as did also President Graves of the New Haven board of education.
 Rev. Dr. Phillips, Father Russell, Wal ter Leight and others from New Haven also spoke in favor of the school coming te New Haven.

A Brilliant Ball at the Hyperion
 Last Evening-Many Guests From |
 out of Town-F1Re Music by the
 Philharmonic.
 The annual ball of the Knights of St. Patrick was held. at the Hyperion last even ing, and 1t wss one of the most successful of the many fine social events given by the Knights. All concurred that the decora- tions were unusually attractive and taste full. The prevailing colors of the deoora- tions were pale green and white, and bunt- ing was profusely displayed. The immense candelabra which illuminated the dancing floor was charmingly adorned with run ming pine. Streamers of red and white and green were hung from the proscenium
 arch to the top of the upper gallery. The lower gallery front was concealed by folds
 of silk plush in green and red, with gilt edgings, while the material for the decora-
 tions of the upper gallery was of red and green velvet, also fringed with gold. The upper boxes were decorated with
 American flags, festooned in fan fashion.
 The two lower boxes on each side of the
 stage were decorated with light green and white cheese cloth. Between each box were helmets and bresstplates with crossed swords.
 In front of each of the rods supporting I the gallery was bright colored banner, the Stars and Stripes showing off finely. | The dancing floor extended from the rear of the stage to the parquet circle railing | and was covered with crash.
 Potted plants in great profusion from Dickerman were arranged immediately in | front of the boxes. Twelve temporary l boxes were erected on the stage. These | were handsomely furnished. Over them was suspended a net work of light green and white cloth. The white crash that covered the stage was in tasteful keeping with the decoration, and the masses of palms and potted plant, which were on the
 edge of the stage, simply added to the | picturesque effect
