LIGHT IND HEAT MEN DINE. Employes of New Haven Gas Company
 Enjoy Annual Banquet.

The employees of the New Haven Gas
 Light company had their annual ban
 quet last night. This is the fourth an-
 nual banquet that has taken place and | it completely outshone all the others, | both in regard to the quality of the 1 light that was present as well as to the quantity of learning and feebler lights | of various hues and compilations that
 at times bubbled forth so strongly that even the brilliant incandescents felt as if they had to take back seat on the | suspicious occasion. At 8 o'clock F. A. Park, Esq, took his seat at the head
 of the table and after the usual bless
 ing had been asked the large company set to and soon made mince meat of the many good things spread upon the table by Mrs Herman Konitze of Washing ton street. After, their bellies had been well filled, as Robbie Burns puts it, Chairman Park rose and put the usual patriotic toasts to the company which were enthusiastically responded to. He
 then in felicitious and carefully pre- pared speech proposed the toast of the
 evening, "The New Haven Gas
 Light Company The speech was
 full of light from the beginning to the end, and at times was so brilliant that even the gaslghts feebly glimmered, as if in acknowledgement that su- perior power had crossed their path for the time being. MT. Parks speech was repeatedly applauded. Cigars were then lit, and the party settled down to enjoy themselves. This was dona by ooopra atJI1a torv cpaachac copus readings and stereopticon views by H. Welch graphophone exhibition by A. s. Thompson. The views included pic- lures of the Dewey parade, the Boers in Africa. but the picture that was re- ceived with the greatest amount of applause was that of Royal Deputy Roger c. Bruce of the order of Scot tish clans, in full Highland costume. MT. Bruce is an esteemed and popular employe of the company, and the ap- pearance of his picture was the signal for a general outburst of applause. Among those present at the banquet were: F. A. Park, John Garrity, Morris Buell., John Kelley, John Burns, Bert Godfrey, James Bruce, Walter Armi- stead, A. s. Thompson, Alexander Stevenson, James Bolton, George Stew enson, Archibald Gardner, Richard Green, Alexander Gardner, William Crowther, Thomas Bruce and R. C. Bruce, Albert Dwyer. The committee in charge of the banquet, R. c. Bruce and Archibald Gardner, were congrat- ulated by all on the success that at- tended their labors in connection with the banquet.

SMOKE AT NO. S,S HOUSE
But No Alarm Was Necessary.

Smoke was seen issuing last evening from the open windows of No Ss engine house, arousing the passers-by to make inquiries as to the cause thereof No. S's men, who were inside, placidly re- garded the inquirers, and after taking several more whiffs from very fragrant cigars replied that the country was safe and no mistake. As time wore on the men were so absorbed in smoking that the twilight had deepened into darkness before they lit the gas, and the darkness was rendered visible by the fiery ends of their cigars. The explanation was at last forthcoming when Captain Wood ruff, removing his cigar for moment, said that the outburst was all due to the arrival of box of Wirtz's finest Paola cigars, the gift of a woman, Mrs, Sirringhaus of No. 5S0 East street, in token of her appreciation of the very prompt and efficient work of No. S's men in extinguishing fire which broke out in her house day or two ago, No. 8's men responding on a still alarm call.

MASTER PLUMBERS MEETING

Some Differences Adjusted Last Night.
 A meeting of the Master Plumbers association was held last evening in the Insurance building to talk over some differences which have recently arisen in the organization. It seems that the association has an arrangement where by large per cent. of the proceeds of the contracts which members secure is turned into the association and distrib- uted among the members. Recently some of the members who did not get many contracts were receiving more than they should from the distribution of receipts turned in by others who had contracts, and as result the dis satisfied members withdrew.
 At last nights meeting three of those members who had withdrawn came back into the association, and it is thought that now the others who with drew will come back, a satisfactory ar engagement of differences having been made.
