GROUP OF DEFENDERS.
ENCOURAGEMENT TOR MEMO
RIAL ASSOCIATION.
Design Submitted by Sculptor Kelly
Has Been Accepted and Committee
Hopes That Contributions VIII New
Come in Rapidly--COlOneI Rutherford
TrOwbridge's~Gift.

The executive committee Of the De-
tenders Monument association held a
meeting at the rooms of the chamber OF
commerce Tuesday afternoon and the
reports made showed progress of an en-
eouraging nature.
The treasurer reported all debts paid
and cash on hand of $21922 also that
unconditional pledges had been receiv-
ed to the amount of 1881 and conditional
pledges amounting to $2,16S.
The committee on design made a ia
vorable report on the group model
which has been on exhibition for sew
eral days at Tiernan's art store, and on
its recommendation the model was ac-
cepted and adopted, subject to some
slight changes to be arranged with the
artist.
The following votes were then unan-
im1usly adopted:
Whereas, The plaster model of a
group Of cannoneers for the proposed
Defenders monument, which was sub
mitted by James e. Kelly, has been ap-
proved and accepted; and
Whereas, The next step in order is to
begin the erection of the monument on
the site which has been provided for it
by the city, at the junction of Daven-
port, Congress and Columbus avenues;
Voted, That the treasurer be instruct
ed to call in at once all the unpaid cash
subscriptions to the monument fund so
that the pedestal may be commenced as
soon as possible.
Voted, That this association urgently
requests all citizens and associations
who have not already contributed to
the monument fund, and who are in
terested in its object, to send such do
nations as they are disposed to give to
the New Haven Trust company, No. 40
Church street, at an early day.
Colonel Rutherford Trowbridge, who
was present, expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the group model
and arLounced that he would make his
conditional subscription of $500 uncon-
dional and would pay the same on call.
1t is greatly to be hoped that other con-
ditional subscribers will follow his ex-
ample.
The amount required for the pedestal
under the contract with the bronze
company is $500, but it is hoped that
an arrangement will be made, for its
erection at less expenditure.

TENSION.

Branford, May 16,-General Superin-
tendent John K. Punderford of the
Consolidated Railway company, and his
engineer, came out this morning, met
the board of selectment, and with them
went over the proposed extension Of the
trolley road.
tits now thought preliminaries are
over, the board Of selectmen will make
its report and the road will be built.
The trolley extension was the one
thing taxed about last evening. The
company seems ready to build, but
will not place its order until it is sure
that the work can go on satisfactorily.
Yesterday the board of selectmen and
the citizens committee held a confer
ence with Mr.. Punderford at his office.
Mr. Punderford heard the committee
first. They were in session for an hour.
After this hearing Mr.. Punderford and
the selectmen held conference. Noth-
ing is given out but it is thought the
company means to make some conces-
sions, probably a special rate to COM
muters will be one point granted.

CHAPLiNF'S LAST CHANCE GONE.
Supreme Court Denies Motion for Re- hearing, and lie Must Pay Amount
 of fine and Costs.

Little Rock, April 24-The Su- preme court yesterday denied the motion for a rehearing in the case of Representative George F. Chapline of Monroe county, who was convicted in the Pulaski Circuit court on charge of con- spiracy to bribe and fined S25 and costs.
 This yact::4,. of the supreme court removed the last chance of securing a reversal of the Ver- dict of the lower court and there is now nothing for Chapline to dc but pay the amount of the fine and costs. His attorneys stated yesterday that nothing more could be done and that the case was at an end. There are no federal questions involved which would permit an appeal to the United States Supreme court, even if such a course were deemed desirable.
 While the fine assessed against Chapline in the circuit court was a nominal one, the costs in the case have been large and the full amount which he will be re- quired to pay will probably be more than 1000. The costs in the circuit court, before an ap- peal was taken, amounted to about $90O. The offense of which he was convicted being a misdemeanor, Chapline is not disfranchised and still has the right to vote and hold office. Some question has been raised as to whether he still retains his seq ir the legislature and would 21Jsntitled to sit in that body if a special session should be called before the next election, but there is little chance that there will be any necessity for decis- ion on that point.
 Chapline was among the first members of the legislature to be indicted when the poodle inves- tigation was instituted by the Pulaski Grand Jury last spring. He was given an early trial. his case being taken up before Judge Winfield early in July, few days after the close of the trial of Senator A. w. Covington. Chap line was charged with conspiring with others to raise a fund to be used in securing the passage of the Cache river levee bill. He was convicted on July II and

CURTAllS DAVIS APPOINTING POWER
Supreme Court Decides He Has No Au- thority to Appoint to Fill Un-
 expired Terms.

4A4GG4S ANCO!A' II 4S' EA tA >0' By the decision rendered by the Arkansas supreme court this morning, amendment No. 3 of of the contitution oI the State of Arkansas, authorizing the gov- ernor to fill vacancies in elective offices where such vacancies oc- cur before the regular elections, was declared void.
 The decision was based on the case of H. D. Palmer Vs. R. k. : Rice, circuit clerk of Lincoln county. Rice being the appointee of Governor Davis, to fill the un- expired term of the former ln- cumbent. The decision was rem dered through Chief Justice Hill, Associate Justice McCulloch dis senting.
 Associate Justice Riddick will deliver separate opin o1, con- curing, however, in the decis- ion of the majority of his col leagues. This decision declar- ing null and void amendment No. 3 of the state constitution, removes from the hands of the governor his appointive power, in cases where there are Vacan- cies in unexpired terms.
 The decision upholds the yer dict of the lower court and de- clares that when vacancies in unexpired terms occur special elections must be held.
 A direct bearing on the ap- appointment of young Scoggin prosecuting attorney at Hot Springs, is carried by the su- preme court ruling.
 It is probable that proceedings may now be started to oust Scog- gin and have a special election. Such action would have a most important bearing on the 'hd' question.
 WHAT THE DECISION SAYS. The decison, which is a lengthy one, deals to a great extent insit- nations substantiating the stand of the court and says in part; 'The constitution provides how the amendment shall be passed through the general assembly for submission to the people and that immediately preced- ing the next general election for senators and representatives at which time shall be submitted to the electors of the state for their approval or rejection, and if a majority of the electors vot- ing in such election adopt such amendment the same shall be- come a part of the constitution. -
 Such election, evidently re- fers to the general election for senators and representatives. Any other construction would be straining the natural meaning of clear and proper English. The majority necessary to adopt would be the majority of the electors voting at the general election for senators and repre- sentatives and not a mere ma- jority voting on the subject of the amendment. The framers of the constitution of 1874 used plain and simple English.
