ferees advised, Mr.. Purcell" asked the

ure?"
We'll" replied MT Purcell. that is
rather large question, and must be
answered In sections. consider that
the most vital point before us was to
give an immediate outlet to the benevo-
lent impulse of the subscribers to- the re-
lief fund and work without delay to those
needing It. Elysian park presented

choose spot In this fair land that equals
in beauty the view over the Los An

tainable from the easterly portion Of this
proposed boulevard. On the summit
the range Of view is extensive, even en-
bracing Santa Catalint and San Gle

extended to the great Griff1th gift, 1t will
lie drive unsurpassed In the world.
AS to Its being full solution of the

opinion, a full solution for the present
and full foundation for solution in

While driving yesterday morning
about II O'clock John M. Irish, who re-
sides at 674 Temple street. gave his
horse 8. cut with the whip, at which the
animal retaliated by letting fly with its
heels. catching Irish on the shin and
bruising it up considerably. He came
to the receiving hospital, where his limb
was dressed and bandaged.
A track layer employed on the new
Main street electric line cSAie to the re-
ceiving hospital last evening about s
o'clock with an ugly cut on the back Of
the right hand, which he said had been
inflicted with spike maui. CHE of his
companions had been drawing spikes
and accidentally hit his hand. AS the
fellow did not have nerve enough to
allow the police SURGEON to take a cou-
pie of stitches in the wound, saying he
never could stand the pain, his hand
was temporarily bandaged and he was
discharged. The fellow was ashamed to
leave his name or address after his ex-
hihition and was accordingly booked as
James Jones.

and gratified at the very generous and
prompt response made by the teachers

and create pride in its accomplishment
Any teacher or pupil who thinks of an
appropriate name is urged to send 1t
to the secretary of the association,

ALLOWED TO PLEAD GUILTY

contractor Corwin charged WIN Mere
r1isdemeanor
The charge of passing fictitious checks,
for which Contractor James Corwin was
arrested about a week ago, was yester-
day dismissed in the police court before
Justice Morrison and the defendant al
lowed to plead guilty to obtaining money
under false pretenses. Corwin induced
H. w. Goldwater, clothing dealer, to
cash a $40 check for him which upon
presentation at the bank proved worth
less. At the time he admitted the act,
but said in extenuation that he had been
in hard luck for some time and had to
raise money in some manner.
When the defendant appeared in
court yesterday morning for preliminary
examination on the felony charge, Dep
uty District Attorney Chambers moved
that the complaint be dismissed, which
was done, and the misdemeanor charge
fled, to which Corwin pleaded guilty.
Sentence will be passed upon him Mon-
day morning at $3.50 o'clock.

Hathaway Says He Did Not Set Fire
To His Shop.


FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 81. Fred
Hathaway, the Bowenyille painter, who
was arrested in Boston yesterday at the
instigation of Fire Marshal Nbitcomb, was
arraigned In the District Court here to-
day, charged with having set fire to his
shop on Davol street for the purpose OF
securing insurance policies aRgregsting
$1,000 thst had been issued to cover the
stock and fixtures. The police inspectors
think the outfit might be worth $500 at a
forced sale. Hathaway pleaded net guilty
to the charge aud the case was contin ued
until Friday. lie was held in 5000 bail.
The young man Is well known in the
city, and his arrest caused sonnet thing of
q sensation. 1T appeared that there was
fire in the same building fortnight ago,
which was never reported to the suthori-
ties and the discovery of this fact helped
to confirm q suspicion of Hathaway's
guilt.

Joseph Barbour Was Elected
Speaker of the House.
Business In Both Branches Con-
Quoted Without Friction.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. 6.-The general
assembly for Connecticut for 1897 was
organized at 1920 this morning, with an
ease and despatch that argues well for
the prompt transaction of business dur
ing the remainder of the session. The
members OF both houses assembled In
their respective halls shortly after 10
O'Clock, but it was 1920 before all were
in their places and order could be OBJ
tanned.
Iu the absence Of Hon. Samuel Fessen-
den, speaker Of the last house, Samuel
Frisbe, Of Pennington called the House to
order. X. 8. Hingmann, as clerk, called
the roll, and this afternoon proceedings
showed that ell but II members were in
their seats.
After the roll call the mem hers were
sworn 10. This business transacted, the
House proceeded to choose a speaker,
and Joseph l.. Barbour of Hartford, was
practically the uuanimou, choice of the
representatives. Cyrus q. Bekwick Of
New London, of the few Democrats in
the House received complimentary votes
from his Democrat colleagues, but when
formal vote was taken, Attorney Barbour
was found to be the unanimous choice.
The Senate was also called to order at
1920 oy Secretary OF State Mowry. The
roll call showed that every one of the "a
Senators were present, and the BODY pro-
oeeded to effect an organization at once
by electing William H.Marigold of Bridge
port president pro tenn; Samuel A. EDDY
OF North Canaan clerk, and Rev. Henry
N. Thompson OF Hartford, chaplain. The
Transaction of unimportant business was
followed at :05 by recess for Is min
utes.
At the conclusion OF Speaker Barbour's
address, which was well received by the
Houses clerk, messengers and door keep
ers were elected.
