thoroughly.
Mr.. Sears replied for the defense, max
ing much the same argument as that OF
Saturday. He declared that the new law
was unconstitutional as to its relations
with the city charter, I'd was defective
from the nature of its caption. Numerous
other points were made and the argument
was listened TO with close attention.
At the conclusion of Mir. Sears remarks
the argument for the defense was resumed
by City Attorney Stewart, who read sew

general laws, to which subject a large
portion OF his address was confined.

COLONIAL SOCIETY.

Members Listen to an Illustrated Leo
ture on Birds"
Professor George B. Stevens Of the
Yale Theological school read very in
teresting paper on Birds before the
members Of the Colonial society last
evening, which was greatly enjoyed by
all present The paper was to have
been read by Miss Mary Osborn Wright,
its author, but she was unable to be
present. This was generally regretted
by the members, as Miss Wright is well
known and universally esteemed here
and elsewhere.
The paper was presented by Miss
Wright to the Audubon society Of Con-
necticut, a society which numbers
among it's members many prominent
people of this city and which has for
its object the study of birds and their
preservation. The paper is highly priz-
ed by the society and was only read to
the Colonial society last evening
through the courtesy of Mrs. Henry
Champion, prominent member of both
societies, The lecture was Illustrated

A special town meeting of the voters
of Branford was held In the town hall
there yesterday afternoon. There was
| the usual attendance and the meeting
was characteristic of most Branford
town meetings in that considerable dis
cussion was INDUCED in and not much
business transacted. The meeting was
called for the purpose of taking action
on the proposition to secure power from
the general assembly to construct Sc
ries of sewers in the town. 1t was voted
to oppose the same, as the arguments of
vincing of the fact that no sewers are
needed in Branford, and that none will
be needed for some time. 1t was also
voted to make an appropriation of $500
to be spent on the roads of the town
under the supervision of the state high
way commissioner, James FL. Macdon-
aid. A portable stone crusher was or
dered purchased.
There was a small fire in the polish
ing room of the Branford Lock works
yesterday afternoon. The stock room is
situated directly over the polishing
room, but none of the stock was dam
aged. as the fire was quickly extin-
guished and without the assistance Of

Town Clerk Walter Foote is still very
i'll. There is no improvement in his

BOY STOLE CAR JOURNALS.

Fifteen Old Christopher McGregol
Confesses to Year of Thefts.
New Rochelle, March 23.--Christopher
McGregor, fifteen years old. is locked
up in the local police station, charged
with having stolen hundreds of dollars
worth Of brass journals from the freight
cars belonging to the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad company.
For months past the railroad officers
have been bothered by the loss of these
journals, and two or three more or less
serious freight wrecks have been attrib-
uted to their removal.
Detectives We're detailed by the COM
pany to catch the thieves, and as a re
suit young McGregor was taken into
custody last night. When arrested he
had in his possession feed bag con-
tanning several journals, which he had
removed from cars in the local freight
yard. He confessed his guilt and also
confessed that he had stolen nearly ST.
600 worth of the journals in the past
year and had disposed of them for a
good price in New York city.
Those which he had not been able to
sell he said he had buried near the
freight yard until such time as he could
find a purchaser. McGregor will be ar
raigned before Police Justice Lambden
for a hearing this afternoon and will
probably be held to await the action of
the grand jury.
