t1Ons of Special COnstaDles hecommltted
 The Last of the eAsphaIt-Board of Pub lic Works Had No Advocate.
 The court of common council refused, last evening, to concur in the action of the upper branch of the city govern ment, in tabling for printing, the re- port of the board of finance concern ing expenses incurred by Chief Ken nedy and Fire Commissioner McDon- aid, while in attendance upon the re- cent convention of fire engineers at Salt Lake City. It also adopted a similar course in dealing with the expense ac- count submitted by the special com mittee appointed to investigate asphalt pavements in other cities. The nom concurrence took the form of an order that the bills be paid. The sum in- volved is $S50.
 Asphalt paving had another inning last evening when the matter to con- cur in the action of the aldermen re- lating to the division of expenses as to the original construction and re- pairs of pavements came up. It will be remembered that the corporation counsel held that no assessment could be laid upon abutting property holders for repairs. The aldermen acting upon I the suggestion ordered the total sum | per square yard divided, taking off | thirty-seven cents in the case of Chapel | street and eight cents each on Trumbull l and ere ctr ToI,nciIr,an ptnLy- ett read two communications, one from Alderman Chillingworth to the Asphalt
 company seeking light on the matter
 of assessments and the company's re- ply, which stated that the cost of re-
 pairr on Orange and Trumbull streets would be merely nominal MT. Pickett | argued that if this were so why not ! assess on the whole amount. The l board voted to concur, which means
 that the contract will be amended so 1 that the cost of original construction,
 $293, $2.97 and $293 per yard, respec-
 lively, will be assessed the property
 holders on West Chapel, Orange and | Trumbull streets. while the city will
 assume the repairs at thirty-seven cents for West Chapel street and eight | SCillS edtu IoI llle Olucf SlfectS. 1 This action will take the much moot l ed asphalt question out of the boards l of government for at while, at least. l The Fair Haven and Westville Street Railway company was allowed the | privilege of double tracking Derby | avenue. west of Norton street, provided | it hardens the street the whole width
 and builds a trestle over West river north of the present bridge.

NO SUCH SEA FOR TEARS.
Reports From the Fleet Harboring at
 Gloucester.

Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 12.-The northeast storm that commenced yes- terday morning gradually increased during the day, while last night it reached hurricane force. For many years no such sea has been seen along the coast, which is an indication that the storm is very severe off shore.
 Several fishing vessels from the Banks report the gale in the Bay of Fundy one of great violence and had the weather not been clear they would have suffered severely before reaching port. A large fleet of fishing and coasting vessels put in here for shelter, among them being the United States steamship Blake. No further disasters are reported, The hurricane signals are still displayed and the intensity of the storm has not yet abated.

 New York, Oct. 12.-The following statement was given out at national headquarters to-day after a conference of the entire executive committees:
 'The election of Mckinley and Ho- bart is an accomplished and assured fact They will receive 270 electoral votes. Bryan will receive 110 and there are six states having 67 votes which are doubtful but the probabilities all point to the fact that these 67 votes will go into the republican column and be added to the 270 now assured for Mo Kinley and Hobart. This is the status to-day. We have the election and will hold it. Our present effort in the west is to this end only. The opposition have abandoned the east. (Signed)
