IMPORTANT INJUNCTION.
Brought Against the County Court Of
Harrison.

CT ARKsBURG, w. Va, June a
The most important aud interesting
question that has been before the
county court for years was the consid-
Grafton OF the West Virginia and
Pennsylvania Railroad bonds to the
amount OF $3.50, 900 voted by the peo-
pie OF Harrison county to that rail-
road. and the effect OF some Of the
effort of some of the leading citizens
of the county to secure their caneella-
tionS. An soon as Il was learned
that the road had changed hands and
Pennsylvania capitalists taken charge
OF the enterprise, citizens Of the high
est standing, including Ira @. Post,
John c. Johnson, John Patton Ed
Southern and Others, began active
work 20 secure the cancellation OF
the bonds Petitions were circulated
throughout the county, which were
freely signed by more than 1000 eiti-
zens. praying the county court to act
on the matter at once
10 the meantime the promters OF
the road had quietly gone to neigh
boring judicial circuit and secured an
Injunction from Judge Freer restrain-
ing the court from acting on the mat
ter. The court was thus locked and
could not proceed until the injnnc-
tion Is dissolved.
The matter now depends upon the
dissolution of the Injunction, but Ii
is believed that If even the court does
cancel the bonds that the railroad
company will resort 10 higher courts.
Don't forget that smart men can
learn many things from fools.

SERMON MAKES SENSATION.

The Rev. Asher Anderson on Uncle
 Sam, the Pharisee."
 Meriden, Dec. 15.-The Rev. Asher Anderson of the Congregational church preached last Sunday on Uncle Sam, the Pharisee." His remarks about the war and expansion caused the members of Merriam post, G. A. R., last night to express themselves pretty freely on the ground that such talk would have a bad influence on the young. MT. An derson last evening explained that he was led to write the sermon after read ing about the Thanksgiving sermons in New York, where the clergy seemed to be Pharisaical, whereas they ought to have felt God be merciful to me a sinner" We should have feeling of humility when we consider how we have treated the Indian and the negro. Concerning the navy in the war he said: And what is there of which we shall so greatly brag. Our own navy was not considered strong; compared with other great powers, weak. On the oth- CT hand, the Spanish navy was consid- cred rotten, hardly worth going to sea, and why should it not have been easily destroyed?"
 While he was not an anti-expansion- ist, he was not an imperialst. Since the war had been for humanity's sake we ought to show mercy to the enemy not take territory except at just values and show at home that we know how to protect the lives and property of our own people.

McLay-Menzies Nuptials Impressively
 Solemnized Last Evening.
 The wedding of Miss Nettie McIay and John Menzies was celebrated at the First Presbyterian church last night. The contracting parties are we'll known in this city and very popular in Scot tish circles. Miss McLay is the young est daughter of the late James McLay, who for many years carried on the car riage business at Quinnipiac rink on Grand avenue, while the groom is one of New Haven's youngest business men, being one of the partners of Menzies Ss Menzies, the well known plumbers on Pitkin street. The ceremony was per- formed at the First Presbyterian church by the Rev. F. A. M. Brown, D. P. The church was prettily deco rated for the occasion with palms and flowers, the work of James Bruce, the florist of Kensington street. The body of the church was set apart for the friends and invited guests, while the galleries were open to the public. Miss Grace Brown, daughter of the pastor, presided at the piano and played To- hengrin's wedding march as the pro- cession entered the church. The best man was Robert Menzies of Danbury, brother of the groom, and the brides maid was Miss Julia Peck of Branford, niece of the bride, while the ushers were George Munro, Donald MacDon- ald Ring bearers, Misses Oracle Me Lay and L. Logic. The bride was at tired in handsome gown of white ben galine silk trimmed with white chiffon and rare old silk lace, and carried a beautiful boquet of bridal roses.

The stock Market.

New York, Dec. 15.-Many stocks gain- ed about a point to-day and the mark ct left off strong with good buying movement in progress. Perhaps the most potent influence was the govern
 ment's foreign trade statement showing exports for November of nearly 130 mil lions of dollars, which was nearly sev- entv-eight millions in excess of im- ports and the excess of imports for the five months of the fiscal year were above the enormous sum of 243. 900 900. Then, too, the strength of the grain markets to- day seemed to indicate continuance in the demand for our products. Alter hating firmness and weakness rendered the market irregular during the fore noon. Subsequently the market shook off it's hesitancy and became buoyant on reports that the Vanderbilt interest had purchased the Chicago & Alton with a view to emerging it into the Michigan Central system. Michigan Central immediately rose five points and Chicago & Alton 8. Subsequently, a Vanderbilt official denied that such a deal had been consummated. This. how ever, failed to affect the Vanderbilt stocks which continued upward to the close at about the best prices.

BOARD OF FINANCE REFUSES.
Will Not Recommend as to Fire De
 partment Deficiency.

Will Not Recommend as to Fire De-
 partment Deficiency.
 The board of finance last night held a regular meeting and after signing the usual bills passed vote declining to make any recommendation to the court of common council to provide funds to defray the expenses of the fire depart- ment for the month of December. A resolution calling upon the board of finance to make such recommenda- ton has passed both branches of the council. The board of finance as it's reason for declining to make any rec ommendation as requested refers to section 46 of the city charter, which provides that no city or department of ficer or board of commissioners shall in- cur any liability or expense by con- tract or otherwise for which said city shall be responsible In excess of the ap- propriations so made by the board of finance and the court of common coun- cil.
 The action of the board of finance in cutting the estimates of the depart ment of education about $200,000 is se- verely condemned by members of the board of education Among the items of the estimates of this department which were cut was that for salaries. So great was the cut in this item that the total appropriation recommended for salaries in the department is about $5,000 less than the amount required to pay the salaries of teachers and other employees of the department for whose services the board has already con- tracted. It is estimated that there will be a shortage of at least $15,oo0 the coming year in the department of edu- cation and members of the board have informed the mayor and board of finance that they will perform their du- ties as commissioners as well as pos sble with the reduced appropriation, but will not be responsible for the de- ficiency which is bound to occur if but the barest necessities of the department are provided for.
 No representative of the board of education has appeared before the spe- cial committee of the common council. in whose hands the recommendation as to appropriations now Is, but it is un- derstood that members of the board of education have appeared before the board of finance since the matter was presented to the common council for final action and asked that the appro- priation be increased. Some comment has been made at the failure of the board of education to take the matter to the joint committee and members of the common council in speaking of this last night expressed the opinion that members of the board of education were reluctant about appearing before the joint committee because of the recent action of the common council in regard to the district coal contract.
 The action of the board of finance in cutting out the item for street sprink- ling meets with quite general disap- proval among citizens and it is openly charged this cutting out of an item for what is regarded as public necessity was done in order to bring the tax rate down to eigtheen mills. It is probable that the common council at tonight s meeting will add an item for street sprinkling to the appropriations recom- mended by the board of finance.
