THE LATE ENGINEER FISHER.

Farther About That Memorable Trip From Now York to This City in 1850:
 TO the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CouRixR: was much interested in reading yester- lday in your paper about the late Engineer Fisher and his famous ride, when he 1 bought the presidents message from New l York to New Haven in one hoor and ] t~snty minutes in the year 1850 Fisher WIS one of the hssi of engineers, and that tip of his was 6 famous one for those ! dys. ! can add word to the story of thst trip. Falling in with our esteemed toynsman, Ward Nichols, who was for msny years we'll known and very popu- lar conductor on the New York and New Haven road, the subject of Fishers ex- plot cana up for conversation. MT. Nichols was on the road then, and well recalls the trip and how 1t was noised abroad all over the country. He recalls ths fact thet the messenger on the train who had the presidents message in charge waa none other than "Fred' Calhoun who in after years became super. intendent of the Shore Line rail road. Fred" was mail agent on the road then, and he had an exciting ride ai passenger and messenger. There was noth ing but the engine and the tender. No ca was attached. Fred rode on the tender When the sharp curve at Greenwich wal reached the tender swsyed first to one sid' and then to the other In such quick ant larring succession, that Fred was vel nigh jostled off from his perch on the ten der. Fisher looked around to see how tn tender was getting along, and in his bluf way remarked, "Well, if 1t can stsnt tkat, it'll stand the rest o the racket" Fred looked ruefuli after that for sharp curves until New Hs ven was reached, but the engine and ten der came through all right. It was re marked at the time that if there had beel one car back of the tender 1t would hay steadied the train and made the run muc less of a shakeup. Fisher was a genial good-hearted, warm hearted man and
 brave and bluff engineer who did his dut and expected similar work from others, ar
 all of our old railroad men have heard o his death with regret. J.

BY DEMOCRATIC VOTES.

Seleetman Forbes Introduced a Res Town Agent and First Selectmar The Republicans Refrain From Voting on the ResolutiOn-Ths COmmittees of the Board Appoint ed.
 A hurriedly-called meeting of the board of selectmen was held yesterday morning
 at which all the selsctmsn except Mr. Bald win were present. At this meeting Johr Garrity was recognized and declared first
 selectman and town agent by strictly
 party vote, all of the four democratic se
 leotmen voting for him, while the repub
 lican contingent refrained from taking any
 action in the matter. This action was the
 result of a conference held Thursday even.
 ing, at which 1t was decided to call the special meeting, and the notices were at once sent out. MT. Baldwin was out of
 the city and consequently did not attend the meeting.
 Although the meeting was called for 10 o'clock, 1t was after Il before it was called to order. After order had been sac ured, on motion of Selectman Garrity, Henry W. Sanford was unanimously elected superin- tendent of the almshouse at the same sal ary as last year, John F. Shsnnahan assist ant superintendent, John F. Maher clerk, Mrs. John F. Shannshan assistant matron and Patrick Kent town farmer.
 These offices disposed of, the commit tees of the board were elected as follows: Committee on finance, S-lectmen Pohl- man, Stahl and Forbes; on outside poor, Selectmen Cunningham, Baldwin and Gar rity; on roads and bridges, Seiectmen Forbes, Gilbert and Gsrrity; on fences, Selectmen Baldwin, Stahl and Forbes; on construction, Ssleetmen Pohlmsn, Gun ningham and Stahl. For park commis- s1oner, Selectmen Pohlman was the unani- nous choice.
 As soon as this business had been dis. posed of Selectman Forbes introduced a resolution declaring that: Whereas, It has come to the knowledge of the select men that MT Baldwin claims to be first seleetman and sx -oficio town agent, which claim Is unfounded. Voted, That this board recognize and declare John Garrity to be first selectman and town agent. A vote was also passed defining the multudi- nous duties which in the course of the year regularly fall to the town agent to perform and authorizing Captain Garrity to perform them.
 This was seconded by another democratic sslectman and voted for by all four, the re- publican sslectmen present, Gilbert and Stahl, taking no part in the vots. After this action had been taken Selectman Forbes introduced the following resolution and 1t also went through with a rush by the same democratic vote:
 Voted, That there shall be a regular meeting of the selectmen every Tuesday evening at 7:30 p. m. at their office. Special may be called at any time and place by the president of the board or by Selectman Gsrrity.
 Town Counsel Pardee was present until after both these votes had bsen passed, after which he withdrew from the room. The action taken by the board Wednesday in appointing clerks was ratified, After which the selectmen decided to visit 5pringside farm Monday morning and the meeting adjourned.

Since the features of the VII son bill were promulgated his bnsiness has slsckened daily.
