Mr.. W. o. Harris had four fine horses

there has been little or no interest mani-

anxious to learn whether they can vote
on the question of local option. Il
Candidates for county offices are an

To listen to The Messiah" under such favorable auspices as will be presented tomorrow night will be to gain two hours of unalloyed delight and inspira- tion.
 The last regular rehearsal Of the chorus took place last evening in Wool sey hall. As this was the first time the acoustics of the hall have been tested by so large a chorus the event was anti cipated with some curiosity, The result was most satisfactory, and when Pro- lessor Jepson pulled out the stops and let on the great organ in accompanying the 250 voices in the "Hallelujah' chorus there arose and astounding for tissimo like a mighty tempest.

 The announcement which has just been made that the capital stock of Swift & Co. will shortly be increased by an issue of $10,0O0000 of the par value of $100 has occasioned much interest in this city, as fully million dollars of the company's stock is owned here. A meeting of the company directors to be held next Thursday when the action will probably be taken. The money de- rived will be used mainly for the pur- pose of purchasing the wholesale dis tributing markets in New England, New York and New Jersey of Swift & Co.,. the houses in Great Britain, and also to purchase the refrigerator cars and others used by the company.
 The local firms of Strong, Barnes & Hart, Sperry & Barnes, and the Merwin Provision company are included in the list. as most of the officers of these companies are interested in Swift & Co.,

was s1,735, ,325. 60, and the total appro- priations is Sl, ,T29, ,ss6.25. If this is so it means that the city's incmoe has in- creased S, 42s.35 during the past year. and this amount is the increase which the board has allowed in its estimates.
 The police department gets SlS,9O2.25 less than it asked for. and the fire de- pertinent SS2.OS5.S4. Tine library board loses to the extent of 5000, and the rest of the departments ill like proportion.
 The police department does not get they money it asked for to supply the officers with a uniform style Of rev0l- yer, and none of the special things ask ed for by any Of the departments were granted.
 The lamp committee gets $7,47S.75 less than it asked for, and this is $5,10112 less than they got this year.
 Among the amounts granted to the fire department is this item: New roll ing stock and repairs to old, including chemical for Fourth ward engine house." This looks as if that fire house will have to do with nothing but a chemical engine. At the last meeting os the fire commissioners this matter was talked over and it was stated at that time that an engine was absolute ly necessary there.
 No provision is made for the taking out of the gallery of the city court, and it looks as ie it will remain. The department of public works is al- lowed $5,000 for the strengthening of the Tomlinson bridge, and this will enable the Manufacturers' Railway company to send their cars over 1t.
 No reference is made in the estimates to the building of the Kimberly avenue bridge over West river.
 The board of aldermen voted to refer the estimates to the various sub-com- mittees. and it is probable that they will be accepted as submitted at the next meeting of the board. The amount each department asked for next year (190D and the amount which the board of finance recommends be given to each are as follows: Asked for. Allowed.

A CAPITAL SURPRISE

We'll Carried out-silver Wedding of
 Bank Cashier Post and Wife of Clin-
 ton.
 A surprise party of unusual signifi- canoe took place last Friday evening in Clinton at the residence of Ezra E. Post, cashier of the Clinton National bank, the occasion being the twenty fifth wedding anniversary of MT. and Mrs. Post. His son. assisted by Miss Copeland, teacher of languages at the Morgan school, planned a surprise and executed it to a perfect success. They arranged to have MT. and Mrs. Post receive an invitation out to dinner and as soon as they went out, at 6 o'clock, transformation immediately took place. Decorations and the collation. previously prepared were set up and at s o'clock MT. and Mrs. Post were sent for and returned at once under the impression that one of the family was indisposed. They were greeted by about seventy-five guests. Their sur prise was complete. They were also presented with large amount of cut glass and silver table ware, including a casket containing twenty-five silver dollars of recent fnintage.
 Among those present were relatives from Salem, Mass, Hartford county, New Haven and Madison. Mir. Post has been cashier, of the Clinton bank for about a quarter of a century and is one of the states best citizens. He is a brother of our well known and much esteemed townsman, John H. Post, a resident of Edwards street, this city.

sixty miles southwest of the place where the vessel was crushed in the ice year later. After participating in the summer work the Antarctic left Nordenskjold and his five companions at their camp on shore and returned to Buenos Ayres.
 In November, 1902, the Antarctic sail- ed, again to take part in last summers work and to bring the party home at the end of the season. Then the vessel was crushed and Nordensqjold spent his second winter at his camp while the ship party was ashore further north.
 Of course. the failure of the explorers to return in March last caused great anxiety. Prompt measures were taken to relieve them when the present Ant arctic summer dawned; and fortunately every member of both ship and land parties is returning home. It will be interesting to learn what success has

FIRST WRECK IN THE FAR SOUTH
The Antarctic Is the Only Exploring
 Vessel Ever Lost in Those Waters.

The Antarctic Is the Only Exploring
 Vessel Ever Lost in Those Waters.
 Of all the many vessels that have en- gagged in Antarctic exploration from the time of Captain Cooke. in 1773, to the present day. the steamer Antarctic is the only one that has ever been lost in that vast region. To be sure. we have had no tidings for year from the Brit ish sip Discovery and the Scottish tseamer Scotia, but there is no reason to believe that they are lost.
 The Antarctic, which carried the Swedish party to Graham Land, south of Tierra del Fuego, was Norwegian whaler, specially built for navigation in pack ice, and was in fine condition when Dr.. Otto Nordenskjold sailed from home, on October 16 1901. The disas- ter which sank her was not due to any inferiority in the boat; nor is it at all likely that her commander, Captain c. A. Larsen, was at fault for the loss of his vessel
 Captain Larsen became well known to egographers in 1894 through his bril- liant explorations on the sailing vessel Jason. f16 WdS SSHt to liic Soutu pOlhi regions on an experimental quest for seals and whales; and as he did not find the game he was after, he turned his attention to exploration and brought to light 120 miles of hitherto unknown coast line on the east side of Garaham Land.
 It was the irony of fate that his incomparably better vessel, the Ant arctic, should have been crushed in the ice on February 12 last in the very waters in which he had safely cruised in his sailing vessel nine years earlier. His party spent last winter after the wreck on Paulet Island, overlooking the waters in which he had caught some seals in 1894. The disaster occurred about 625 miles southeast of Cape Horn.
 It should be remembered that the Nordesnkjold exploring party was not involved in the shipwreck itself. The Antarctic had taken the explorers to Graham Land in February, 1902, and left them in Admiralty Inlet, some
