FIRE BO4ARD'S DEAL R4TIFI ED.
Corporation Counsel Instructed Not to Alp

Corporation Counsel Instructed Not to Ap-
 pear in Behalf of the New Charter.
 A special meeting of the court of common council was held last evening at Which the transfer of the lot re- gently purchased by the fire board for the Tenth ward engine house for anoth- CT on Ellsworth avenue was ratified The board of aldermen took the initia- tive in the matter and considered the subject in the committee of the whole, as Alderman Dewell thought that the matter should go to the fire committee and not passed upon by unanimous consent.
 Alderman Pickett led the engine house forces, and the transfer was rat flied by a large majority.
 The councilmen concurred with the aldermen in their action on the transfer of the lot.
 The appointment of a memorial com mittee, the Fourth of July resolution and the appointment of E. P. Arvine as library director were also concurred in. A resolution instructings the corpora tion counsel to secure to the people of New Haven the right to fish, boat and
 skate on Lake Whitney and Satlton-
 stall was passed.
 A communication was received from the board of public works concerning | the new layout of the Fair Haven and l Westville street railway at the cor | ner of Chapel and State streets. It was l referred to committee on railroads and bridges.
 On motion of Alderman ChillingWorth the mayor was instructed to appoint a committee of five to act in conjunc- tion with the committee from the chamber of commerce, memorializing
 congress concerning the improvement
 of the harbor.
 The resignation of Fred w. Skiff as library director was accepted, and F.. F. Arvine was appointed in the place | of MT. Skiff.
 The board of finance reported in fa- vor of appropriating $1,000 for =the I Fourth of July celebration, Alderman Ryan offered the follow l ing which was voted: That the corpo-
 ration counsel take no action before the
 legislature at Hartford on a new char 1 ter for New Haven, or any bill pertain l ing thereto until until ordered by the l court of common council.

EXTENSION OF WILLARD STREET
 Selectmen Do Not Favor Town Agent Bill Opposed to Division of License Fund.

The board of selectmen last evening
 gave a hearing to Messrs. Veitch,
 Gould, Greist and Bradley, owners of
 the land in Westville through which it is proposed to extend Willard street.
 The distance from Alden street to Bar
 nett street, the length of the new lay out, is about one-quarter of a mile, and it is contended by the selectmen and
 residents of Westville that it would be a public convenience to have the street opened.
 The selectmen decided in executive session to instruct the committee on
 roads and bridges to confer with the owners of the property and to secure an agreement as to benefits and dam ages. It was the opinion of the board that $350 would be a, fair compensation for the land, the proposition to each owner to be adjusted in accordance with the amount of damages accruing to him. The committee will report next Tuesday evening.
 The town agent bill, now before the | legislature, was discussed. Town Counsel Goodhart explained that the bill provided that the board of select
 men shall meet on the day following their election and select from among their number one member who shall be agent of the town.
 | Selectman Baldwin favored the prop osition and moved that the town coun- sel be instructed to urge the passage of the bill
 Town Agent Hugo offered a substi-
 ute to the effect that the town counsel
 be instructed to take no part as coun- sel for the town in the discussion be- fore the committee.
 Selectman Sucher seconded the sub stitute motion, and it was passed by a.
 vote of 4 to 3, Major Sucher voting with
 the democrats.
 The various bills diverting the liquor license fund from the towns were pre- sented to the board. By the present law 80 per cent. of the fund goes to the town, 10 per cent. to the state, per cent. to the police and per cent. to the fire department. This basis of dis tribution gives to the town of New Ha-
 ven about $160000.
 The board decided that it would be injudicious to repeal or change the law now on the statute books. Town Coun- seI Goodhart was instructed to oppose
 all bills pertaining to the change in the law.

GREEKS WIN 4 VICTORY.
Capture of Fort With 400 MussuInans
 Greece Pays No Heed to the Powers.


 Athens. Feb. 16-The first definite news of a Greek victory in Crete was received tonight and the widest en- thusiasm followed the receipt of the in- telligence.
 The Greeks, it is said, attacked and captured Fort Aghia, taking 400 mus sulmans prisoners. Among the number were one hundred Turkish troops, the remainder of the prisoners being mos lems, who had taken refuge in the fort. One report states that no fight ing occurred, the garrison surrendering upon the demand of the Greek com mander. As no mention of any losses is made in any of the dispatches it is surmised that this report is true.
 Notwithstanding the reports that the powers would take concerted action to prevent Greece from taking further hostile action in Crete warlike prepara- tions are being made with all possible dispatch. A regiment embarked upon a transport and sailed for Crete tonight. Another regiment will sail tomorrow.

Greece Has Italy's Sympathy.

Rome, Feb 16.-The bold action of Greece in attempting to solve the Cretan question with the sword has excited popular admiration everywhere in Italy and a great Philo-Crete agita- tion is being carried on through the country. The sympathies of the people are entirely with the Cretan Christians in their struggle to throw off the yoke of moslem rule, and this sympathy is taking practical form. Enthusiastic mass meetings have been held in sev- eral cities, at which the speakers have traced the whole history of Turkish misrule in Crete and have dWelt upon the promises of the porte, broken time and again, to inaugurate reforms in the island. At these meetings subscrip- tion lists were opened for the benefit of the struggling islanders and goodly sums have been realized.
 Many young men whose enthusiasm has been aroused by the heroism of the Cretans and the bold defiance of Turkey by the Greeks have volunteered to serve with the Christians and num- bers of them have already started for Crete

JOHN L. PICKS OUT o0RBE1T,
Says That He Will Win in the Fight at
 Carson Next Month.

Philadelphia, Feb. 16.--John l.. Sulli- van arrived In Philadelphia to-day. He will be rendered benefit tomorrow night at the Quaker City Athletic club, when he will appear in a four-round bout with Paddy Ryan. his first oppo- nent for the championship. When asked for his opinion on the coming fight between Corbett and Fitzsim- mons, he said:
 T certainly think Corbett will win, for he is a level-headed chap and has had lots of experience. He has im- proved a lot since he fought me in New Orleans and even at that time he was a wonder. Then he could not hit very hard, but he has since developed his hitting powers until now he is able to hold up his end with any of them. Then again. Bob Fitzsimmons is not able to hold his end up with a man who is so long-headed as Corbett, and the Australian Is liable to go to pieces at any stage Of the game"

A Beautiful Girl Ends Her Life in Tragic

Lyme, Feb. 16.-Anna Loveland, a beautiful girl seventeen years of age, committed suicide this afternoon at the home of her sister, Mrs. McDonald, by shooting herself through the head. The girl was assisting her sister in the household work. While preparing for dinner she went into a bedroom and soon afterwards the report of a pistol was heard. Mrs. Mcdonald went into the room and found her sister lying on the floor unconscious and the blood flowing from the wound in her fore head.
 Miss Loveland never regained con- sciusress but fingered three hours and died. No cause has yet been assigned for the act. The girl appeared to be in good spirits this forenoon end there was no indication of plans for ending her life. It is said that relations be- tween the girl and the family were not pleasant and this may have been her reason for killing herself.
