The presence of the map and the ref erence to the subject occasioned | lengthy discussion between Selectman Bretzfelder and President Beecher.
 The Fair Haven and Westville Street Railway requested the privilege of re- laying it's tracks in Main street, Vest Ville. The matter was referred to the committee on roads and bridges. l An application was received from John Norback for appointment to the position of tender on the new draw bridge over the Quinnipiac river, which will be finished about the first of De- cember.

DEMOCRATIC SITUATION
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S YIEWs
 ON THE FINANCIAL MATTER,

He Believes There Will be Demand for
 Free, Unlimited and Independent Coin-
 age of Silver-A Cause Worth Fighting.
 For is Worth Fighting for to the End.
 Strong in His Attachment to True De-
 mocracy.
 Washington, June 16.-PresidenH Cleveland to-day was asked by re- porter of the New York Herald for a, statement concerning the democratic situation. MT. Cleveland said:
 q have made no figures as to the probable action of delegates already chosen or to be chosen to the demo~ cratic national convention, but I refusa to believe that when the time arrives for deliberate action there will be garft. ed upon our democratic creed demand for the free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver. I cannot believe this, because I know the democratic party is neither unpatriotic nor foolish and because itseems so clear to me that such course will inflict a very great injury upon every interest of our country, which it has been the mission of de- mocracy to advance, and will result in lasting disaster to our party organiza- tion There is little hope that as means of success this free silver propo- tion, after its thorough discussion dur- ing political campaign, will attract d majority of the voters of the country.
 Tt must be that many of the illusions influencing those now relying upon this alleged panacea for their ills will be dis- pelled before the time comes for them to cast their ballots which will express their sober second thoughts. The adoption by the democracy of this pro- position would, I believe, give to our opponents an advantage both in the present and future, which they do not deserve.
 My attachment to true democracy is so strong that I consider it's success as identical with the promotion of the country's good. This ought sufficiently to account for my anxiety to no mis- take be made at our party convention. In my opinion no effort should be spar- ed to secure such action of the dele- gates as will avert party demoraliza- tion. It is a place for consultation and comparisons of views and those dem- ocrats who believe in the cause of sound money should there be heard and be constantly in evidence. "A cause worth fighting for is worth | fighting for the to end. If sound money ] democrats suppose there is danger of 1 a mistake being made such danger should stimulate their activity in avert | ing it, instead of creating discourage ment.
 q am very far from arrogating to myself a controlling influence upon the | policy of my party; but as an unf1inch- | ing democrat, who has been honored 1 by his party and who desires herefa- 1 ter no greater political privileges than | to occupy the place of private in it's ranks, I hope I may not be blamed for | saying thus much at this time, in the 1 interest, as it's seems to me, of the | grand old organization, so rich in hon. orable traditions, so justly proud ot it's | achievements, and always so undaunt- | ed and brave in its battles for the l peoples welfare"

EINAL EX.IMS. ARE OKER.

The New Seniors Occupy Senior Fence and
 Play Ball on the Senior Ball Ground-'01
 Badly Beaten by '96 in a Matched Game.
 The Yale juniors yesterday morning had the last of their final examinations on junior course, the examination being on psychology and ethicals. The exam ination closed at about II o'clock, and the members of the class of '97, who were then seniors, while the members of '96 had in the meantime become alumni virtually, at once started a game of ball on the senior ball ground, where it was at first proposed to place the Woolsey statue. At the same time a large crowd of the new seniors filled up every available sitting space on the senior fence. A matched game of ball was finally started between members of '96 and '97 and resulted in a decided victory for the former.
 The final examinations for the entire college classes close to-day and next Monday the entrance examinations for preliminaries will begin.

CUSTER'S LAST FIGHT,

When the expedition of 1876 against the hostile Indians in Montana, which eliminated in the battle of the Little Big Horn and the annihilation of Cus- ter and 300 of his troops, was first or ganized, Custer was to have been in command, but about this time the Belk- nap scandal came to the fore and in some way or another Custer got his name mixed up in the affair; he was ordered to Washington by the senate committee and either because of what he did say, or perhaps on account of what he didn't say, he brought upon himself the displeasure of both Presi- dent Grant and General Sherman, by whose order he was not only relieved of the command of the expedition, but for some time was ordered not to go to the front at all. This latter order was afterwards revoked, but the for mer remained in force and General Terry, then the department commander, went out in personal command, Custer going along in command of his regi- ment, the Seventh United States cav alry, of which he was lieutenant col Cnel.
 The whole story of the expedition, il- lustrated by 130 stereopticon views, can be heard at the Hyperion tomorrow night, June 18 when Captain Bowen will lecture on the subject for the bene- fit of the Mothers Aid society, includ- ing the Leila Day and Hope Day nur- series.

AN ECKINGTON CHILD.
Gave Food TO Tramp When the
Mother Had Refused 1t.

Notwithstanding the vigilance of the
police on duty in lexington, residents of
that suburb are more or less annoyed, eS-
peCially this season of the year. by tramp

of The Baltimore and Ohio road, and get
off at the freight yard adjoining lexington
They usually travel in pairs but only one

he is given anything his comrade puts in
appearance later.
The first one generally gets something,
and SO does the second. but when they are
followed by one or more others on the same
day, the business of waiting on them be-
comes monotonous and they are turned
down.
One day last week, after two tramps had
called in succession in the forenoon at the
same house. and each one had been given
liberal supply of bread and butter, a third
one put i'll appearance.
The lady of the house was upstairs, and
her child a bright little boy of three and Il
half years, who had been playing in the
ground back of the house, came tipping
upthe steps. and said to ohiSmother: Mamma
anozer man wants somesing to eat"
Tired of being annoyed with them. she
impatiently told the little fcllo VITO tell him
she did not have anything. Without Il
word he turned and went down the stairs,
hut with not very satisfied look on his
face. His mother listened at the top of the
stairs, and heard him say TO the tramp.
Mamma says her hasn't got anysing for
90. but me gib 90 somesing," and, going
TO the pantry, he found some slices OF
bread that had been left from breakfast,
and. spreading one of them freely with
butter. which he got out OF the refrigerator,
he handed il to the tramp with the in
Quiry: VIII 60 hab some sugar on it?''
which so amused the tramp that he laughed
