WEST HAVEN BOROUGH MEETING
Action on Street Lighting and Fire De-
 partment Troubles.

Action on Street Lighting and Fire De-
 partment Troubles.
 The warden and the burgesses of West Haven held a meeting in the town hall last night and considered local matters of more than ordinary interest, includ- ing the taking of final official action with regard to the dissension concerning the Graham Hook and Ladder company and also action on the petition for elec- tric lights.
 The troubles of the hook and ladder company began with internal strife at the time of the last election of a cap tain. At the time of this election the company was composed of twenty-nine members. Among these were two who had aspirations for the captaincy. These were A. H. French and B. P. Thomas. The election resulted in a vic- tory for the latter, whereupon French and seven of his supporters decided to withdraw from the organization. Be- fore they had time for this step, how ever, their intention was learned by the other members and their expulsion from the company followed This did not tend to allay the animosity of the fac- tions and unpleasant charges and coun- ter-charges began to be heard. The elect accused those without the fold of sending in false fire alarms, and the latter retaliated with charges of infor- malitiee in the conduct of the official business of the company. It was said that there were irregularities in the elections of new members and in other respects.
 Then the commissioners, melted, it Is said, by the "outs," instituted proceed ings which eliminated in the suspen- sion of the company. The company con- tended that the authority of the com missioners was limited to inspection of the apparatus and was in no wise to be considered in questions of the personnel or private business of the company.
 At the meeting last night the vote of the burgesses on the question of SUD- porting the action of the commissioners resulted in tie. Warden Peck dissolv- led the tie by voting to sustain the com missioners in their proceedings.
 It is understood that this will not in- terfere with the social side of the com- pany's existence, but will only tend to curtail or destroy their efficiency in the primary object for which they were or ganized. The effect of the action of the commissioners in the event of an emer- gency call for services of firemen is matter of conjecture The specific charge against the company was insub- ordination
 The warden appointed committee to confer with the officials of the electric light company regarding a proposition to substitute electric lights for, lamps for street lighting. The meeting then adjourned.

eight in the morning, you see. While they had been workin' on him the wind breeZed up and we kept eatin' into the windward and we got off the fishin grounds.
 I "So the old man allowed that we might as well trim said and make away for Cape Ann. And we did. Got to the grounds off Cape Ann long about five o'clock in the afternoon. Hove to and down with our lines and commenced | fish. Had good luck for about half an hour-fish bit well and were of good size. Then all to once they stopped biting-just as they had done before.
 The old man strengthened up his back, put up his hand to shade his eyes, 1 and took a long squint to windward. | 'Ubble- de- -dubble-de double Jinted sea grass-hoppers, howled he, here's he dDmes!'
 And away, way off. we could see a shark come finnin along moderate like, yet in toilable hurry-finnin' like this -" and the narrator stuck his hand up in the air, fingers erect, and gently vi- | brated the member.
 So along the shark come, and the old man told 'em to heave over that doomi- ty-boomity sha k line agin. And they did And the shark bit He bit hard. He evidently wanted to be caught He had bus ness with us. And when we puiied him over the side it was jest as the old man said it would belt was that same shark.
 "Lookin' for his liver, lookin' for his liver. How sad that sounds when you think of 1t.
 Now the old man admired grit. Didn't make any difference who had the grit-the old man admired the critter that had it.
 "He stood there and looked at that shark
 "Gol durn vel said he. we're nothin' but a blame no'count shark, but ye've got backbone enough to stock up a whole village Shake'-and he grabbed that shark by the fin there right before Us and tipped his hat to him and give him the grip of the Seamen's Union.
 But stifl the shark looked vexed. '0h! said the old man, in admirin' tone, I wish ye knew how to talk the Eng lsh language. By the whiskers of a haddock, how ye could swear'
 Nov, there was nothin' mean about the old man. He said as how that shark was goin' to have his liver.
 Take out them stitches again. said he. And they did.
 And then the old man with his own hands put back that liver into that shark and they sewed him up carefuller than ever. Then the old man. to do what he could to square things poured a horn of rum down the sharks gulet and they threw him over.. He still looked vexed, as I could see from the galley-and I dunno as it is to be won- dered at. When his fin went out of sight it was twiggin' kind of mad. But he'd got his liver-and we didn't see any more of him. '-Lewiston Evening Jour- nal

A Down East Shark That Knew His
 Rights and Dared Ask for Them.

A Down East Shark That Knew His
 Rights and Dared Ask for Them.
 When I asked Harrison Curtis of Thomaston for his side of this story he looked at me doubtfully. The sage of the Georges Valley. the discourser on the powers of the infinite, the philos- opher of the Pliocene era of the world he looked at me doubtfully.
 "Id rather not tell you that story" said he, flor that is most remarkable story and some people there are in the world who do not know enough to be- lieve it. l have no objections to telling the story to those who are of the elect and who understand that truth is stran- ger than fiction. But it really hurts my feelings to have the scoffer gaze at me ironically with the pathetic misunder standing of the irreclaimable heretic. Understand that l don't class you in with that crowd. But if you write this remarkable story out and quote me in the matter the same misunderstanding will follow me. I'd rather you'd see State Senator Chamberlain of Bristol about the affair. Or there is Fish Warden Hanna. Both of them know the story and are ready to testify to it's truth. It's good to have authority of that kind. I think you'd better get them to tell you"
 Here the reader can insert five min- uteS of solicitation to suit his ideas of how man should be coaxed
 Then, Harrison Curtis loquitur, clear ing his throat and commencing with an

If I must must" air, proceeds from this point:
 "This ere happened right after the war Considerable many of the men that went to the war tackled on to mackerel fishing in hearty style. Hand lining in those days. No traWling. No seining the same as the sweepers of the sea carry on the business nowadays.
 The man that I shipped with for the first trip after war times was the worst man to swear that I think I ever heard.
 T don't know as that has anything to do with the story, but that man did swear so that I can't help thinking of it every time I talk about him. I don t remember how he looked or whether he even wore whiskers, but I do remember how he used to talk.
 Well, I hired as cook for the trip. Had ten other men. You just ask Chamberlain or Hanna about them and see if they were not good men--and by the way, the whole ten of them stand right behind this story-want you to re- member that.
 We did our first fishing off Seguin. Mackerel bit tirst-rate for about half an hour and we was reelin' 'em in hand over flst-fat and white and big's your arm.
 'All to once mackerel stopped bitin'.
 Shark said the old man. and oh, massy you ought to have heard him swear. No, l yean you shouldn't have heard him swear. It was awful.
 Shark said he. When shark 1a rel always stop bitin and go off and hide. But mackerel crew in those days was always ready for anything of that kind-always knew how to come round Mister Shark So we threw over our shark line with piece of pork on the end. The hook had a chain gangin' so that Mister Shark couldn't bite it off
 Well, in less than thirty seconds Mis- ter Shark bit and we hauled him over the side. He was nice hefty shark. Should say that he would suttin weigh six hundred pounds. Had quite a tus- sle gittin' him over the side of the schooner.
 Hold him there roared the skipper when Mister Shark was Tapped on the deck.
 Now. Jeptha,' said the old man, 'straddle him. the wowdiddy ow-diddy lamididdy-&c., and cut him open.
 Now that sharks liver filled half of a gogset. Most remarkable big liver
 Now doodle-ty, dumpty, sew him up!" howled the skipper.
 And, sir, they took a big sail needle l.s, | herring bone stitch across his white bel ly. It was real good looking job in needle work.
 q stood in the cook galley door look ing on and I could see by the sharks eye that he was greatly vexed at losing his liver. But he didn't say anything and so, when he was all nicely sewed ! up, over they threw him, splosh, and down he went below.

n '.Essl::Sf.. .Yasssl:Sf.l THE BLUES STILL LEAD.
WON FAST AND EXCITING GAME
 FROM WAYERBURY.

Clever GOal In Three SecOni utI
 Raising stops by Lations and Sta, .-
 The Goals Made.
 The New Haven polo team by superio play at Bowling hall last night downed the Waterbury team and kept their position at the head of the league table Captain Canavan realized that his team would have no cinch against the for midable opponents from the Brass City and the Blues started out at rapid gait. It soon became apparent that the Tigers were out to win and if a victory was to be secured only all round play of the best order would win the day. The visitors have never been seen to better advantage at any time this sea- son than they were last night. Hipson and Roberts played like a whirlwind and banged at Lations shots that only the Count" was capable of stopping. Menard and Doherty were also alive and showed great coolness and judg- ment in passing to the rushers. Starkie also put up a great game, but was poorly backed up by the center and halfback who seemed over anxious to score goals rather than prevent their 1 being scored. The same was equally true of the Blues defense, Whipple and Canavan keeping in close proximity to | the Tigers cage, leaving Lations at critical times all alone. The Count" | however, was equal to nearly every l emergency and more than upheld his | reputation. With this one exception the wohle New Haven team played win- ming game Warner never was seen to better advantage than he was last night. Besides breaking up dangerous plays he scored some of the prettiest goals that have been seen in the rink this season. Bone played like a flash, waltzing around the Tigers defense at ease and scoring goals such as Bone only can score.
 The ninth goal of the contest was one of the cleverest of the season. Bone won the rush and banged the ball in the netting in three seconds. Warner scored the, next goal off the rebound from Bone's rush in six second. Sev- eral of Roberts goals were very clever and his playing was repeatedly cheered. Taken all through it was a great game. Whipple played dashing, useful game and had the crowd with him, while Captain Canavan puzzled the visitors and kept them guessing where the ball was to travel next. The lineup and summary follows:
