PETITIONS TO ATE

PETITIONS TO INVESTIGATES.
1t is understood that Daniel Nc
Donald has filed a petition to the
board of county commissioners ask
ing that an examination of the coun-
ty books for the last four years be
made. A petition has also been cir
culated by others, asking for an ex-
animation since 1870. The indie
pendent believes that if there has
been any crookedness, either by
democrats or republicans, it ought
to be exposed and in consequence
sanctions the investigation as far
back as any taxpayer may wish.

COnstanCy.

Friend after friend has left my side,
Departing never to return
And some of those for whom yearn
Were by the tenderest ties allied.
From some the cruel hand of fate
In early youth did seperate.
And others since that day have gone
Their different ways into the world;
And, like leaf In winter whirled.
And forever hurried on
Toward the cold and cherries crypt.
One friend alone that from me goes
Always returns-if / inclose
A postage stamp-my manuscript.

SILVER WEDDING.

The silver wedding of Judge and Mrs. Morris B. Beardsley of Bridgeport will be celebrated at their residence in that city, Monday, June 6. Judge Beardsley was the candidate for lieutenant governor on the democratic ticket four years ago, being associated with the Hon. Ernest Cady of Hartford. The judge was the member of the house from Bridgeport in 1893, and is widely known in legal and political circles throughout the state. He graduated from Yale college in 1870. For many years he was the judge of probate in Bridgeport. His wife was Miss Lucy Fayerweather, the favorite niece of the millionaire philanthropist of that name. She was one of the principal benefi- charles under the will. The oldest son of Judge and Mrs. Beardsley graduated from Yale in 1895, and was present at the twenty fifth anniversary of his fa- ther's class in the university. He has since studied law and was admitted to partnership with his father in Bridge port. Judge Beardsley is a man of great popularity with Yale men throughout the state. Friends in this city have received invitations for the silver wedding.

The Sad Decrease of Bird Lifeline
 Audubon Society. Connecticut has a very bad record with regard to the decrease in bird life during the last fifteen years. No state in the union except Florida has a worse one, and therefore it is especially pleasant that we have an Audubon so- ciety started a few months ago in Fair field. New Haven alone has fifty-three members already, among whom are some real bird enthusiasts, who can testify to the shy thrush, and the rare rose breasted grosbeak, being still visi- ble within four blocks of the Green Frank Chapman, the great authority on birds, is to speak at the annual meeting which takes place Saturday, June 4, at half-past three o'clock, in the town hall of Fairfield.

There are two trains returning at convenient hours of the afternoon and a pleasant outing is guaranteed.

Date Decided Upon is Satisfactory to
 All Concerned.
 The fact that the triangular race be- tween Yale Harvard and Cornell will be rowed at New London on Wednes- day, June 22, gives complete satisfac- ton at Yale. This date does not con- f1ict with the previous arrangements of any of the colleges interested The freshman race will be rowed on Thurs day, June 23.
 The freshmen race will interfere to some extent with the Yale-Harvard university ball game, which is sched- uled for the same day, but that is not considered a serious drawback or req son why the attendance at the race will be lessened to any great degree. liar wards class day follows on the 24th, while the exercises of the graduating class of the Sheffield Scientific school will be held on Saturday, June 25.

EimamciaI.
The Stock Market.

New York, June Wall street to- engagement at Santiago as a success for the United States forces Even the rather meagre details of the affair and the counter claims coming through Spanish sources did not greatly dis turb this conviction. It is not entirely a sentimental result that prices of stocks should rise upon news of a na- val victory, for dealers in stocks take the practical view that it insures an early termination of the war and a consequent revival of commerce and industry.
 Prices bounded upward at the open ing and a furious activity developed together with the buoyant tone, the buying demand premeating pretty much the whole list. But it must be remembered that there has been quite a large volume of buying recently in anticipation of naval victory. There has also been the remarkable advance in Rock Island, carrying with it a group of allied stocks, in anticipation of to-day's action at the annual meet ing on the dividend This meant, ac- cording to the invariable rule, large selling to take profits on the culmina- tion of the event.,
 There was, in fact, enormous profit taking during the day. which was most marked in Rock Island and Peoples s Gas but was also heavy in many other leading stocks. The placing of Rock Island on a five per cent. dividend ba- sis and the distribution of ten per cent stock dividend was as good as and even better than many of the ru- mors on the subject had foretold But this did not save it from the inevitable reaction on realizing and on a vigorous bear attack, which was directed also against Peoples Gas with a view to | uncovering margins on some of the re- cent large buying.
 There was very pronounced under | tone of strength all through the list, and it was sufficient to sustain fairly well the profit-taking in the stocks which have recently, in their turn, sus- tained the list. The days net changes are in consequence very much mixed | many important stocks showing losses and the extreme advances in others be- ing very much reduced by declines in l sympathy with the weakness of spe- cial stocks. London was buyer in the New York market, and there was a | large commission house demand. Rates l for money continued to show declin- ing tendency and foreign exchange weakened in sympathy with the ease of money in London It is clear that the abundance of money here is al that prevents a resumption of gold i'm. ports.
 The strong factors in the situation | had freer play in bonds than in stocks and were not hampered by speculative realizing. The demand was very ac. tive and included all classes of securi- | ties, the cheapness of money encourag. ing the placing of funds in well secured
 mortgages. There were very large in. dividual transactions in many issues and prices advanced throughout the ex, tensive active list. The sales were $5,- 225000.
 | United States twos and the old fours registered advanced 1a and the old fours coupon, the new fours and the fives 4 in the bid price. There were sales o1 the new fours coupon at 1221a, a gair of E over the last sale.
