REDUCED ONE GRADE.

The Verdict Of the Police Commig-
 sioners After Consideration of the
 Charges Against Patrolman James
 E. Doolittle-Sympathy for MT.
 DOolittle.
 Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather last evening every member of the board of police commissioners was pres ent at the meeting last evening. The principal business of the meeting was the consideration of the case of Patrolman James E. Doolittle, who, on March 2, was suspended from duty, charged with gross neglect of duty growing out of "scrap' which occurred on February 27 at the cor ner of Charles and Orchard streets. At this time it was alleged that although one of the men engaged in the fight reported 1t to Officer Doolittle and also told him the rame of the man who assaulted him, the officer did not make any arrest, nor did he, in fact, even make a report of the occurrence in his book.
 At the hearing last evening on the charges, Sergeant Woodruff, Patrolman Taylor, Captain Brewer, George Blake, George Hall and William Miles appeared and testified in reference to the case. One of the allegations made in the charge was to the effect that Blake, who was the man injured in the fight, had asked Oficer Doo- little to arrest Alexander Wilson, who, he claimed, had assaulted him. This the witness denIed emphstically last evening, stating that he did not ask the officer to arrest Wilson, but also that his assailant was at least block distant when the off, cer met him, the witness.
 The matter was finally settled in execu- tive session, the board voting to reduce Officer Doonttle one grade, from A to B, for period of two montha. The officer will also lose his pay for the eight days during which he has been under suspen- sion. After the verdict of the board had been announced 1t was sharply criticised by some of those present, who thought the evidence hardly bore out the conclusions reached.
 The board approved the weekly payroll of the department. The question of the pension for the widow of the late patrol man, Charles A. Hooper, went over until the next meeting, after which the board voted to allow Officer Dick Moore to re- ceive the reward for the capture of de- serter, and then adjourned.

WILL OPPOSE CONSOLIDATION.

The Town Counsel so Instructed sby the Board of Selectmen Last Even-
 ing-Maps Showing the Limits of
 the Town to be Prepared at once.
 The question of the consolidation of the city and town governments occupied the attention of the board of selectmen for short time last evening, but was finally set tied by the board voting to instruct the town counsel to oppose before the commit tee on cities and boroughs of the general assembly any bill providing for the con- solidation of the city and town govern ments of New Haven. ...--,-.
 The matter was precipitated upon the board by Selsctman Beecher, who stated that he was emphatically opposed to con- selidation, both as citizen and as mem
 ber of the board of selectmen, and his
 views were shared by many otheE citizens of both the city and town. He further
 said that in his opinion the board of se-
 lectmen should be prepared to meet the issue aud that the town counsel should be instructed to oppose any such proposition. In this connection he said that the board had never been properly notified that any such bill was to be presented to the general assembly. He then moved that the town counsel be instructed to oppose any and all plans of consolidation, and the motion was unanimously carried.
 The report of the committee on maps, showing the limits of the town was ac. oepted and the recommendations adopted The committee was further instructed to procure bids for same and report back to the board, the board reserving the right to | reject any and all bids submitted.
 The committee on outside poor to which | was referred the question of where Ids Webb's residence, she who was indirectly | the cause of Clerk McPartland's arrest 1T Bridgeport several weeks since, reported | that in their opinion the Webb woman be
 longed in Bridgeport, having been borr ! there October 8, 1871, and her father hay 1 ing been town pauper there before her The matter was left in the hands of ths same committee who were also given powe | to act. -- l John Manning was appointed the ofdeia distributor of the tax lists for the ensuing
 year at salary of $90 per annum.
 The question of moving or raising tn power house on Tomlinson bridge was re
 ferred to the joint committee on railroad
 and bridges of the city and town, witl power to receive specifications and plan
 and report back to both boards.

WHEeLMEN IN HARD LuoK.

A Chester Party Has Collision and
one Young Man Overcome by Heat.
A party Of ten Chester wheelmen came
TO this city yesterday morning by way Of
the Philadelphia turnpike. One Of the
number, who was in advance Of the
others, attempted to turn around while
descending the hill at shellpot park
Another of the party was coming down
the hill at hard pace, and before he
could control his wheel came into colli-
sion with the first Both men were
thrown to the ground, but were not in.
jured One of the wheels had several
spokes broken out OF It,
While these men were recovering
themselves the remainder Of the party
came up. One Of their number alighted
from his wheel and complained of being
sick Suddenly he swooned and was un.
conscious for sometime. By the efforts
Of his companions he was brought TO.
They brought him to this city and sent
him home on the City of Chester.
The party had been riding hard from
Chester and as the morning was very
warm the sun was too much for the
young man, who is of frail stature.

sINcE THIRTY YEARS Aeo

The Market Is Greatly Extended for "a
Wide Distribution Of the Luscious
Peach.
Remarkable stories Of the prospects of
good peach crop come from Delaware,
but the conditions are different from
those which prevailed thirty years ago.
Then a great peach crop would glut sthe
markets of Philadelphia to such an ex-
tent that on Saturday nights luscious
peaches could be hsd by the basketful
almost for the asking To day the market
is greatly extended by means of fast
trains and il the crop should be large it
would only mean a wider distribution Of
the fruit without ruinous sacrifice Of
prices in any one place. This is better
for everybody. Philadelphia would like
to have good peaches at a reasona-
BILE price, but no one should want
to see them sold at rates ruinous to the
growers. shippers and dealers. .-Phila-

EMIL MILLER SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

He Can Obtain Incandescent and Arc
Lights Out of the Same Machine From
Which He Gets Electricity for Plating.
MILWAUKEE, June 9-Electricians
have for years been engaged in seeking
to solve the problem of obtaining the
d ifferent lights, such as incandescent
and arc lights out of the same machine
from which they get electricity for plat
ing and other kinds of machine work,
but until recently without success.
In January company interested in
the scheme came in contact with one
Emil Miller This man, after looking
carefully over plans arranged by f.
Mueller, lately deceased, agreed to perfect
them and build a machine that would
accomplish the desired object. Now
after little over five months work he
has perfect machine-a dynamo equal
to thirteen and one half horse power.
This dynamo gives either 90 arc
lights or 200 incandescent lights or one.
half of each. 1t can also at the same
time be used for nickel, silver or other
electric plating or light machine power.
The company will shortly erect its own
factory and begin manufacturing on q
large scale.
