 A number of the members of the city government of Newark, N. J., came to this city yesterday to inspect the almshouse, was received by Mayor Sargent Wednes- day afternoon that they were corning on the Il o'clock train. Thinking that 1t was matter for the town to look after, he mo- ti6ed the members of the board of aeleot- men Wednesday evening, but they did not get the message, and so nothing was done. Affairs being in this condition, Mayor Sar- gent himself and City Auditor Lake drove ! to the depot to meet the towns guests, but missed them. Shortly after they had re- turned to the city hall six gentlemen walked into the mayors office. Tho foIe- most one of tho party approached Mayor Sargent and introduced hlmself as Mayor Joseph E. Haynes of Newark, and he ia- l troducsd the following gentlemen: Henry O. Kiemm, president of the board of edu- cation; Alderman Ely, Terrence Smith, Watson Ryan, and George 0. Haynes, the latter being the mayor's private secretary.
 The mayor of New Haven was glad to meet them and asked them to take chairs. This they did, after which tho mayor turned to them and said that he had ls. ceived their word and had turned the mat ter over to the board of ts,eetmen. The mayor then went to the office of Town Agent Garrity, who was in New York on business. Clerk Owen Groak telephoned to ss many of the sels,tmen aa he could, and Sslectmen Pohlman and Stahl said they would come immediately. Sslectmsn Cunningham happened up st the eity hall about that time. In the meantime Clerk Grosrk had telephoned to the almshouss to have things in readiness for their arrival.
 Mayor Haynes and his alderm sn had Roi rather tired of waiting up in the mayor. office while thsse arrangements were being
 made, and so the Newark mayor went oul
 to find ex-Mayor York, with whom he had
 become acquainted at the time of the dedi
 cation of the Soldiers monument. H.

 that he meat the Newark delegation. Judge York therenpon accompanied
 Mayor Haynes to the city hall and invited
 the delegation out to lunch at Heubleini
 cafe. They were entertained there for | U
 the circumstances, invited ths gentleman
 to be his guests aad. at ones ordered din ner and sls,ghs.
 Sele esmen Pohlman, Stahl, Cunningham
 and Gilbert drove up with eletgbs abou
 this time and so the Newark gentlemen accompanied them to the almshonse, wher they were served with dinner, and whil there they made thorough inspection o the premises, gaining much valuable in formation.
 Ex-Mayor York escorted tho Nswar
 gentlemen to the Monticello club and othe
 places of interest about town. They re
 turned to Newark last eve hing.

 trouble said thas the visitors ought to b entertain s3, even if 1t came out of priva, funds.
 ! "Well," said the mayor, "they are nc . the guests of the city, and even if the a ! were there is no money to entertain then
 The city used to appropriate money for th 5 mayor to entertain visitors, but it doesn l do 1t now. can't use the city's funds | ! entertain them"
