 a quorum. President Norris ruled, however, that the members from the outlying wards, notwithstanding the fact that they could not vote, should be counted in a quorum. The members voting against the amendment to in clude street sprinkling in the estimates were Aldermen Shepard, Dove, Norris and Cooley.
 The petition from the firemen asking that the board endorse a petition to the legislature for an amendment of the charter regulating salaries in the fire department was accepted and the order passed. It was voted to authorize the corporation counsel to advocate before the legislature an act giving to the di- rector of public works power to appoint fence viewers. The board concurred with the councilmen in referring the pe- tition of residents along the line of the Edgewood avenue trolley line to the committee on railroads and bridges. A notice from the board of finance to the effect that the board declined to recom- mend a provision to meet the deficien- cy in the fire department was placed on file. It was voted that opinions of the corporation counsel now before the board and all opinions subsequent ly received from him be printed in the City Year book.
 The board concurred with the coun- cilmen in ordering the intersections of Grand avenue and State street, and of Chapel and Church streets paved with vitrified brick. The resolution author izing the special committee on Beaver Ponds park to purchase all lands neces- sary for the completion of the park, was adopted.
 The board adhered to it's previous ac- ton in refusing to adopt the recom- mendation of the street committee that the name of East street be changed to Dewey avenue. Aldermen Hogan and

 John c. Moore, of Milbrae Cal sends to the San Diego, Cal, Union of Mo- vember 27th the following letter about an old-time Norwich boy:
 l One of the amazing things about the late war with Spain especially that part of it managed by Admiral Dewey, is that any American who knows his country's naval history should express surprise at the result. The brave man who commands, and all the other brave men who officer and man the Asiatic squadron of the United States. repre- sent the best traditions of the American navy and have been living up to it; but what they did in the harbor of Manila is the legitimate successor of the brave deeds done in the harbor of Tripoli, and notably that consumate act of bravery performed by Captain Samuel c. Reid in the harbor of Fayal in the Azores, O the night of September 18th, 1914. | Samuel Chester Reid was an earlier Dewey-and the annals of our navy show many another like him in the gall lant days that have gone, just as there will be more to come if the republic needs them in the years that are stretching before us. He waA born in Connecticut, at Norwich. Beginning like the rest of them as midshipman, he served under Truxton and rose to the rank of sailing master. At the time of the occurrence here to be celebrated he was, however, in command of the stanch little privateer schooner the General Armstrong. which sailed from New York September 9th, 1874, with in- structions to hover around the line of the Brazil fleet. Earlier in the war she had been under the command of Cap- tain Timothy Barnard and had made no fewer than nineteen prizes. When she returned home she was fitted with sev- en long hines and one forty-two pound- CT set amidships not a verp powerful armament. but one that would serve at a pinch.
 A MEMORABLE ENCOUNTER.
 The General Armstrong, following her instructions, laid her course for the Azore Islands, and after rattling voy- age anchored in the roadstead of Fay al on the fifteenth day out from New York, seeking water and fresh provi- sions. John B. Dabney, the American consul at the port. came out and was able to assure Captain Reid that no British man-of-war had been seen around those parts for many a long day.

Petrie were appointed members Of conference committee on the matter. The resolution providing for the ap- pointment of a committee to confer with officials of the Winchester avenue railroad concerning the removal of employees of that road to West Haven was indefinitely postponed. The coun- cilmen had adopted the resolution. The resolution ordering the railroads and bridges committee to report upon the petition of residents along the Edge, wood avenue trolley line before report ing upon any petitions from the Fair Haven and Westville road now before the committee was referred to the committee on railroads and bridges unanimous consent for it's passage not being given, The board adjourned shortly after il o'clock.
 A peculiar resolution was handed to one of the aldermen by a constituent, but he did not care to present it and could not prevail upon any other mem- Der to do so. The resolution is evident ly a sarcastic fling at the proposed charter amendment to abolish the board of councilmen and provide for board of aldermen with one member from each ward. The resolution is as fol- lows:
 Resolved, That the electors and tax payers shall not be permitted to vote or elect any councilmen in the future; that they shall not be permitted to elect more than one-third of the present members of the board of aldermen; tlo+ 4l,a 1ca aJl cilmen shall not be permitted to have any voice in the proposed aboliihment of the councilmen or the reduction in the number of the board of aldermen; that the electors shall not be permitted to have opportunity to make known their wishes by their vote for or against any change in the charter to carry the | foregoing resolution into effect; that we favor instructing the corporation counsel to secure all necessary amend ments to the charter to concentrate the power of the city into the hands of the few and against a city government by the people; that the court of common council should not be permitted to pass any vote, resolution, or measure affect ing the expenditure of the funds of the city; that the joint committee on legis- lation be instructed after hearing as provided by the charter to report rec concentrations in reference to the mat ters covered by the above resolutions. | Alderman Madden offered resolu- tion providing that all unexpended bal ances in the various city departments at the end of this year be carried over as a part of the income for 1899. AL
 derman Chillingworth amended to di- rect the controller to report at the
 next meeting the amounts unexpended
 and the resolution thus amended was adopted.

The stock Market.

New York Dec. 16.-The trading to- day resulted in only trifling changes in prominent stocks. The speculative pub- lie of England was active on both sides of the market with purchases on ball ance slightly in excess of sales. Trad Ing locally was less active than of late, dence. The traders seemed largely on the short side while there was buying by commission houses and pool SUD- port. Speculation during the forenoon was very regular but variations gener- ally were not significant except in few cases. The market became dull with the cancellation of orders in commission houses. In the afternoon number of hitherto neglected stocks were taken up and advanced sharply, Pittsburg, Cin- cinnati, Chicago and St. Louis ieaHing with a jump of 3-4, but the improve ment was almost eradicated in the late slump. The revamping of the old story of Chicago and Alton passing into new hands was to-day connected with Gn ion Pacific, instead of Missouri Pacific or Michigan Central as the forn1er ru-, mors had it. To this tale, perhaps, was due rise in Union Pacific.
 In the last hour the bears by con- certed action reached stop orders and carried prices off from to.2 points gen. orally. By delivery hour the movement petered out and after period of dull ness picked up all around Newspaper articles treating the sugar trade war as farcical resulted in sharp rise in that stock at the opening which was soon lost closing at last nights figures.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
SE1SoNABLE CHANNELS OF TRADE
 ARE RUNNING FULL.

Great Activity in Prom and steel-For- eign Order Declined-Holiday Trade Reported Extremely Active at Most Markets.
 New York, Dec. 16.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Likening the general business of the country to that of a water course, it may be authoritatively stated that nearly all the channels of seasonable trade are at present running full, and in some lines of business the stream Is virtually out of the banks. This Is particularly the case in iron and steel. Nothing like the present activity in this branch of trade has been seen TOT many years past, if, indeed, it has ever been equalled.
 Advices from all the leading centers or iron production are of an exception ally eager demand for the crude and manufactured products, and of advanc- ing prices, the only anxiety expressed bepg that of buyers desiring early de- liveries. Probably never before in the country's history has it been possible for an American steel company to re- fuse profitable order for rails for foreign account, on the plea that it's mills were already fully occupied so far ahead as to preclude it's trying for the business. Higher prices for pig iron, steel billets, soft steel, and all sorts of car material is at it's maximum.
 In other lines of business the situa- tion as regards prices is favorable one, notable among the advances re- ported being nearly all the cereals, cot ton, coffee lumber, copper. lead and a variety of other less prominent staples. Holiday trade is repored extremely ac- tive at most markets, and clear, cold weather is still a stimulus to the retail movement of winter clothing and foot covering. The country's export trade is of the largest volume ever known, that for November surpassing the total for December year ago, with the in dications favoring a total trade for the calendar year at least sixth larger than year ago, and our sales abroad aggregating two dollars for every dol lars worth we buy.

ACETYLENE A CURE FOR CANCER,
 The latest development of the use of acetylene is on the medical side. It has been employed in the treatment of the terrible disease known as cancer. and 1t is said, with results which have not only been highly satisfactory so far. but which almost seem to indicate that an actual cure for the complaint has been discovered. The importance of this cannot be overestimated. There appears at least to be no doubt that acetylene is the most efficient agent against cancer known at present. The method of it's application is perfectly simple: The canoerous surface is coated with carbide of calcium and then moistened all over with water. Acety- lene is at once evolved in contact with the diseased tissues. The application can, of course, be renewed at pleasure. A burning sensation is felt by the patient and the symptoms are immedi- ately abated. A specific for cancer would, no doubt, stamp out in time one of our most formidable maladies, and there is at least hope that it has now been found d-Invention.

Bentham, eighteen guns, came in sight and was speedily followed by the frig- ate Rota, Captain Philip Somervllle, thlrty-eight guns, and the big seventy four, the Plantagenet, Captain Richard Floyd. MT. Dabney, the consul, was quite certain, even after seeing their enormous preponderance of men and guns. 2,O90 of one, 157 of the other, that the British would respect the neutrality of the Portuguese port Samuel Reid knew better. He could see that the Carnation was clearing for action, so he got up his anchor and began to move the schooner close inshore with his long swoops. About half-past seven o'clock in the evening of clear moonlight night it was when he saw four boats filled with sailors put out from the Brit ish squadron. He put up a stout boarding net all around the ship, cleared for action, and dropped his an- chor with springs on the cable in shall low water.
 Then Captain Reid. his duty done so far, awaited the coming of the British. He hailed them, as they approached, re- peatedly, and, failing to get any re- sponse, at last opened fire. This was returned from the boats promptly. They come on with rush and yell, but before they got within striking distance they acknowledged defeat and returned whence they had come.
 SPIRITED ACTION.
 Thereupon the British set prepara- tions on foot that would admit of no doubt. Presently the Carnation came slowly in, surrounded by boats, wait ing until midnight. the latter in three divisions of four each, left the shelter of the reef where they had been lying, gave three cheers and started for the Yankee. There was only time for one broadside from the Armstrong when they were laid aboard. The attack on the quarterback was first repulsed with enormous losses to the assailants. Then a slight advantage having been attained by them on the forecastle, where two of the American lieutenants had been shot, Captain Reid led his men to the rescue, and the British went tumbling over the side, all that was left of their four hundred against our nine ty.
 Then the Carnation took little turn. With her eighteen guns she came bold- ly in, suffered two or three well-placed shots from the Armstrong's long Tom and went back more quickly than she came. Thereupon the big Plantagenet warped herself around, and the Ameri- cans saw that further resistance would be useless-eight guns to seventy -four was not quite fair. So they turned their one big cannon against the hull of the gallant Armstrong, blew big hole in her and down she went. the wounded having been first removed. Now for the casualties. They are not as dispro- portlonate as at the Manila fight, of course, for the British are another breed from the Spaniards; but the Americans had two killed, one of them Second Lieutenant Alexander o. Williams, and seven wounded, among them the first and third lieutenants, while the British officers admitted to Consul Dabney that there had been more than one hundred 1 and twenty killed as a result of the ac- | tion, though the official report showed | th1rty-four killed and eighty-six wounded. But it was a glorious victory and ought to be remembered.-Norw l Bulletin.
