WASHINGTON HILLS BANQUET.
Danced and Dined and Enjoyed Vocal
 and Instrumental Music.

The rooms of the Washington Hlll A. c. were the scene of mirth and gay ety last evening. It was the scene Of the. reception and banquet which the club gave in honor of the members of it's champion base ball team and of the lady canvassers who so ably assisted i'll making the recent fair of the Wash ington Hill A. c. Il marked success. The reception and banquet were a flat tering success. About ninety couples were present. The entire interior of the building was prettily decorated with flags and bunting, the work of Decorator E. Parker. The lower floor was used for dancing and for short entertainment, while upstairs was the banquet room. Dancing was indulgCd in until the midnight hour. Galli- peau's orchestra furnished music and Prof Harper was prompter. Inciden- tally vocal solos were rendered by Miss Mamie McNally and John Cun- ningham, and q piano solo was con tributed by Edward Parker. Imper- sonations by H. Freedman were fea ture of the evening, Shortly after 12 o'clock all present adjourned to the banquet room. There were three long tables, which were able to accommO- date about 1S0 persons. David David was caterer and the tables were under the able direction of Edward David. There was fine bill of fare, consist ing of cold turkey, cold chicken, sev- eral kinds of meat, chicken salad. Do- tato salad salted pickles, mashed oo- tatoes, mashed turnips, cake and hot coffee. There is no need of saying that justice was done to the repast. Incidentally to the banquet q hand some gold watch was presented to Will liam Myles, the crack pitcher of the ball team, and a gold ring to James Madden, captain of the ball team. The presentation speech was made by James Kelly in his usually clever style. The recipients responded with few appropriate remarks. 1t was a late hour when the merry festivities came to an end. All present voted it sue cess. Much credit is due to the mem. bers of the arrangement committee for the perfect manner in which every ds> tail was arranged. The members of the committee were as follows: James Kelly, chairman; John Parker, Frank Smith, Edward Parker, Thomas Car roll, James Pryor.

 and Three Months in Jail.
 4 dandy looking young man, who re- sponded to the name of Edward D. bristol, pleaded not guilty in the clty court this morning to theft of various artlcles of sllverware, the property or Mrs Annie Baylor, 72 Grand street. Judge Burpee presided Mrs Baylor stated that yesterday she complaiae,i to Sheriff Rigney of the disappearance of some of her boarders with their bills unpaid and he went to the house to begin the search. He located sou,e of the men in Naugatuck and then ''e- turned to the house to take up the clue against another. He first searched a room that had been occupied by Brls- tol and running his hand over the bot tom of the mattress, felt something hard, which proved to be souvenir spoon. Gradually other things rc- vealed themselves in most unexpected parts of the room, in the rafters, for instance, a hole in the mattress and q crevice behind the plaster. Things other than those Mrs Baylor lad missed were discovered. A table match stand which has for some. time been missing from I. w. Hodson 5 cafe, q hair brush from the Scoyill
 
 things. Mrs Baylor was amazed, for she never suspected Bristol would do anything like this. She had looked upon him as a model of veracity not withstanding his occupation as q book agent.
 Bristol denied taking the greater part of the stuff. All he would ac- knowledge to was the match stand and the hair brush, and these he said he took while under the influence of drink He denied having tried to beat the Exchange hotel some time ago out of board bill, saying that he had merely gone to his home in New Ha- ven to attend his birthday party. Mrs | Baylor missed in all SIP worth of sil- yer spoons. besides souvenirs from all parts of the world,'' which she consid- cred priceless, three diamond rings, stick pins, badges and other things. l The total value of the articles was not named in the complaint, and Mrs Bay Tor seemed too happy over the recov- l cry of her goods to be able to figure il. However, Bristol was fined $50 and costs and sentenced to three months I in jail.

Mir Kelly IS a prominent labor man and held an i'm portant office in the state organization of the National Machinists' union ar the time of the strike. Four of the eight democrats refused to vote for his confirmation because he is q repuoli- can, and they were assisted by four re- publicans. Four democrats and threo labor republicans supported MT Kelly.
 The appointment of Edwin c. Bush well for assistant fire marshal was withdrawn and William Haines was substituted. It was alleged by the labor men that Bushwell during tue strike worked in an objectionable shop at Greenpoint, l.. l. Mir Bushwell de nied this. Rev 0. NJ. Gross, who was appointed on the board of education, declined and Thomas B. Davidson, republican, was substituted. Martin F. Drscoll, who was arrested with the present mayor on the charge of con spiracy during the strike, and Clarence Cushman were appointed as members of the board of charities, but their names were withdrawn as it Was learned that the present commissioners have two years yet to serve. The al- | dermen confirmed the rest of the I mayors appointments.

A caucus of democratic aldermen was then held to take action on the new mayors appointments. Mayor Charters was elected by com bination of democrats and labor repub- licans. The republicans have received n larger share of appointments than the democrats feel ought to be accord. ed, and as the democrats control the board of aldermen they refused to con. firm one of the mayors principal ap' pointees.
