HARBOR COMMISSIONERS

Vote to Allow the Sluiceway at Belle
Dock to be Filled 1n-Other Business
Transacted.
All the members of the board Of har Dor
commissioners were present at the regular
meeting of that body in the city hall last
evening. The principal business was the
discussion of the Belle dock sluicewsy
matter. At the last meeting of the board
it was decided to send petition to all the
members of the board asking them to favor
the filling in of the slufesway. This was
done and all the members of the board
signed the petition except Captain Town
shend.
Captain Townshend objected to signing
the petition for the reason that 1t did not
specify VIXEN, how and where compensa-
tion was to be made. It is generally Tn
derstood that the work of dredging outside
the harbor will be conducted in such a way
as to make ample compensation for the dis
placement of the sluieeway, yet it is not
so specified in the petition nor does 1t
specify when the dredging will be done.
Again the petition asks for the filing in
of the sluiceway on the eastelly approach
to Tonlinson bridge when as matter of
fact it is on the westerly side of the bridge.
Ex-City Engineer Hill read communi-
cation from Lieutenant Colonel Roberts of
the Typographical engineers who has
charge Of this districs, in viii III it WAS
stated that the city and hsrbor commits
sioners were not obliged to spply to the

sion could sanction the filing in, If 1t were
desired by tae property owners.
In executive session thu board voted tc
give the city and Consolidated Railroad
company permission to fill in tbs sluiee

There are any quantity of "split" snd

every ballot before depositipg it in the

CLOSE IN THE FIRST.
An interesting and close contest Is ex-
pected at the First ward polls to-day bs,
tween the republican aud democratic can
didates for aldermanic honors The re-
publican standard bearer is Frederick W.
Skif, and the democratic, Edward R Sar-
gent, and not Henry F., as has baen erro-
neously printed. Both candidates are de,
servedIy popular in che ward and close
but friendly contest can be reasonably ex-
pected.
A report was current last evening that
trading was being attempted by democrats
as regards candidates for selectmen, aud
that tickets were out with the name omit
ted of Mr.. Stahl of Stahl & Hegel, repub-
lican candidate for selectmen. Rspubli-

nous for many years in New Haven as q
thorough-going enterprising, highly estim-
able business man, courteous to all, kind
hearted, a friend to the needy, and a
staunch republican,. He is man admira-
bly, qualified to do most excellent service
as a town Official, and in his hands the
towns interests would be we'll protected.
He would honor the position and should

democla ats will cast their votes for him to
do him honor.

INVITATION DEBATE.
TO TONE DOWN FOOTBALL.

There are rumors to the effect that re-
strictions of some kind are to be placed on
the football management of the university
by the faculty. The conduct of the stu
dents at the Princeton game was closely
observed by tutors and proctors and it is
thought that they conducted themselves in
a manner satisfactory to the authorities.
Just what the restrictions will be is not
known, but it is supposed that they will
endeavor to bring about a milder man
ner of playing the game.

AT THE POLLS.

Town and City officials to be Elected
To-Day-Discsvery Made That the
Republican Tickets Which nave
Been Sent Through the Mail Arc H.
lesal-Chafrman Macdonald Issues
a warning-TheG Genuine RepubH-
can Town ticket.
To-day the political battle which has for
some time past been waged on paper will
be transferred to the polls, and from the
time the polls open at 6 O'Clock until they
close at o'clock, the politicians Of both
parties will be hustllpg with all their
might and main to get out the full vote.
The contest will undoubtedly be cloae
one and the result cannot probably be even
spproximated until after the last vote has
been counted, owing to the fact that there
are go many features in this campaign
which will combine to make the result one
of great uncertainty.
Yesterday the republicans were dumb
founded to ascertain that the city tickets
which have been distributed were illegal
and will not be counted if deposited in the
ballot boxes. The illegality consists in
having printed at the top Of the ticket with
the names of the candidates for alderman
and councilmen the name of Nathan East
erbrook, jr., for collector. This invali-
dates the entire ticket and all republicans
are cautioned to carefully examine their
ballots and see that this name does not ap
pear on the tickets which they deposit in
the ballot boxes at the several polling
places.
In consequence of this fact Chairman
Noonopo1l oF he hli~on tpvy =
tee has issued notice to the effect that all
the ballots with this defect are illegal. The
notice reads: "Don't vote the city ticket
cent to you. The name of the candidate
for collector of city taxes should not be on
1t. Be sure and get your city ticket at the
booths"
The regular republican town ticket
should read as follows:
