CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.
A Colored Youth Arrested by Detectives
 Last Night.

Sylvester Peek, a colored boy seven- teen years of age, who boards at 39 | Goffe street, was arrested last evening by Detectives Ward and Frey on the charge of burglarizing the tailoring es- tablishment of I. Kleiner X Son at lO0o Chapel street on the night Of December 31. MT. Kleiner discovered on New Years morning that the store had been
 entered during the night and found on
 a table a quantity of clothing and cloth
 done up in bundle. He pa.5aed noth- ing from the store, but reported the case to Captain Cowles Later he found that dress suit case, a full dress suit and Tuxedo coat were gone.
 Detective Ward was assigned to the case and upon investigation suspected that young Peek had committed the burglary. Yesterday Ward, taking with him Detective Frey, went to the Goffe street home where Peek boarded. When they rang the bell the landlady came to the door and Ward told her that they had come after the dress suit which Peek had worn the night before. She said that he had returned it. They looked through his room but did not find the missing goods. The detectives went back to the store and found Peek there. They placed him under arrest. On the way to the police station he told him that he had taken dress suit to wear to a ball and offered to get it,
 The detectives accompanied him to his boarding house and opening his trunks took from the bottom of it the missing dress suit. They again started for the police station, but again Peek asked the detectives to go back to the house with him and they did so, and upon arriving there Peek went down cellar and fished from under the cellar stairs the missing coat. Later the de- tectives found in the same place coat and vest and pair of trousers and dress suit case which MT. Kleiner iden- tified as having been taken from his store.
 At police headquarters Peek admitted that he entered the store about 9:55 in the evening, gaining admittance by means of a rear window. He said that he did up the bundle of goods and left it on a table in the store so that MT. Kleiner would think that burglars had been scared away and left their plum der.
 The boy was arrested for theft in Boston and served nine months in the reforma tory in Massachusetts.

CLUB COMMITTEES MEET.

Representatives of the Quinnipiack and
 Night
 A meeting of the special committee of the Union league and Quinnpiack clubs was held last night in the New Haven house for the purpose of con- sdering further the amalgamation of the two clubs and when 1t concluded, about II o'clock, General Ford the president of the Quinnipiack club, said that nothing definite had been reached by the committees. He said that this was the third or fourth time that the committees had been in session but as to whether or not a decision had been reached in regard to the amalgamation of the organizations, he would not state. General Ford further said that reports of the meetings would be made at later date.
 The session last night was long one and from what could be learned last night the amalgamation of the two well known clubs is a certainty.
 All the members of the committees were present at the meeting and they are as follows: General George H. Ford, president of the Quinnipiacll club; President George B. Martin of the Union league, General F. S. Gree ley, General S, F.. Merwin, Colonel N. G, Osborn, exMayor Holcomb, Charles E. Curtis, Herbert Mason, c. $. Mer- sick, Colonel S. J. Fox, A. H.

"QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER"
Enjoyed by a Large Audience Despite
 Indictment Weather


 A we'll filled and appreciative au- Aience witnessed very fine and apt portrayal of country life at the present day in "Quincy Adams Sawyer" and the Mason Corner Folks presented at the Hyperion last evening.
 The drama is a most touching one, and characterized by its feeling and strength. Every part was acted with merit and in no part did the interest Wane.
 Charles Dickson as principal charac- ter showed ability and with his easy yet earnest personality won much ap- plause.
 The role played by Miss Helaine Hadley as Alice Pettingill was filled with sentiment and pathos which noticeably moved the audience. She showed consistency which can only be reached by living the part.
 Frederic Reynolds also showed much merit in the part of Brother Zekiel, dis playing d trueness and sincerity which is often observed in the simplicity of country life. The play and the com pany will be welcomed here again Much praise is due for the efficient handsome staging to Acting Manager Napier Lothair.

PUMPMEN AND LINEMEN,
Important Workmen in the Great Coal
 Oil Industry

Important Workmen in the Great Coal
 oil Industry.
 A class of men who know the real meaning of the term strenuous life" are the hardy pump linemen, who su- perintend the transit of oil from well to tide water They live thousands of feet above the level of the sea on lone ly mountains. Months pass and they never see a new face. Clouds, mists and fog above, below and around them form the eternal landscape. In the summer season, the work though hard can be endured; it's main discomforts are the isolation and the physical eX- haustion. But when winter chains the mountains of it's icey spell then the lineman is subjected to hardships from which even the strongest man might well shrink.
 Even though the mercury coquette with the zero, the pipes must be kept in condition to carry the oil TO make necessary repairs the lineman must climb mountains, cross ravines and ford rivers and creeks. Sometimes he must stand waist deep for hours in snow and water, and when his task is finished, tramp back miles through snow- checked and ice-bound forests before he can reach the shelter of his humble home They are heroes of every day life, these brave men. No one applauds their courage no poet sings their praises. yet they daily submit to expo sure and perform exploits that are not in actual warfare.

1IfE BOARD OF FINANCE.
A Number of Tran sfers Allowed Last
 Night.

At the meeting of the board of finance held last night several transfers asked for by the police commission from the payroll account in the police depart were: $500 for an outside stairway leading from the lookup to the city court room; $45.3S to sundries; $S57 for special detective services; 1885 from re- pair of building to sundries. There still remains in the payroll account about $1 ,150 to be turned into the city treasury.
 The charities and correction depart ment asked for transfers amounting to $1,245 including s469S0 from the ac- count for outside poor, $516,3S from the insane account, $1S0 from the hospital account to the account for Springside home The finance board refused to make any transfer from the account for outside poor but granted the other transfers asked for.
 The request from the board of health asking that the appropriation for the salary of an additional sanitary inspec- tor be transferred to the account for medical inspection in the schools. When the estimates were being dis cussed before the board of finance prior to the appropriations for this year be- ing made members of the board of health appeared and said that an ad- ditional sanitary inspector was abso- lutely necessary and for this reason the appropriation for that purpose was made. In view of this fact the request now made to transfer the appropriation to another account is looked upon as queer by the finance board and the re- quest was tabled last night
 The lamp committee has asked for an Appropriation to pay the expenses of trip by the members of the committee to Cleveland o. to observe the opera tion there of the vapor lighting system for the establishment of which in New Haven a proposition has been made. The finance board cannot find that the system is in practical operation in Cleveland or anywhere else and conse- quently no appropriation for the lamp committee's trip was made last night although the committee remained in session long time awaiting a com lnunication from the board in relation to the matter.
 Alderman Wright offered a resolution erovidng that the tax collector turn over to the assistant corporation coun- sel statemnt of all taxes on personal property uncollected on January 1. Af- ter long discussion the resolution was tabled until the next meeting.
 A request was received from the board of relief asking for clerical as- sistance and it was voted to request the controller to furnish assistance for a period not to exceed four weeks. A bill from the park commission for $120 for expense in making repairs of damage caused by washouts in recent 1 storms was tabled until next week.

MIR. MILLS EATS HIS OWN DIN

 D. O. Mills is fond of paying frequent visits to the two hotels owned by him in this city, and known as the Mills houses, Mo- 1 and No ?. Tn making these periodical visits of inspection, MT. Mills not infrequently partakes of the Recent dinner which is provided at the hotels
 On one occasion recently, Mr. Mills, accompanied by the manager of the house, was sitting at one of the tables in the restaurant next to a rather seedy looking individual, who seemed obliv- ious of the fact that the ordinary look ing man next to him was one of Ameri- ca's milonaires, for he asked MT. Mills to pass him the salt dish in not the most polite terms. The request of course, was graciously compiled with but the seedy individual never even as much as said thanks in return.
 To one who understood the circunl- stances the two men presented a strilS- ing contrast as they sat at the table the one, who more than likely spent the last cent he had on the 15-cent dinner he was eating, and the other whose wealth was represented by the millions, yet both enjoyed a 15-cent dinner to- York Times
