 Carroll introduced the subject, pre- senting his petition for tho right to look at his papers after which Attorney Charles Morris of the Connecticut civil service reform association spoke and was put through lengthy examination in regard to the actions of the civil ser- vice board.

WORST SEEMS TO BE OVER
One Institution, Member of the Clearing House, Severely Criticised for Charging
 Usurious Rates for
 Call Loans.

New York, Oct 24.--As result of to-day's developments in the financial world there is every indication to- night that the crisis in the banking and trust company situation has been safely passed The Trust Company of America all through the days banking hours paid out money to de- positors as rapidly as possible, and closed the day with all demands hav- ing been met. A very favorable feat ure of the situation respecting this company was that it was able to make its payments with very little assist ance, and another was that the com- pany received over its counters in the morning hours in ordinary deposits more than $1,000,000
 Three Noteworthy Episodes.
 The day was marked by three note- worthy episodes. First and earliest in the day came the announcement of trouble in three minor state banks ifi the outlying districts of Harlem the Hamilton bank, the Twelfth Ward bank and the Empire City Savings bank. These banks transacted only neighborhood business and their suspension of payment was absolutely without significance as bearing on the general situation The Empire City Savings bank was controlled by Tammany Hall politician and its busi- ness operations were confined to small area. Although these banks were obliged to close because of lack of ready cash State Bank Examiner Judson declared this afternoon that all three were solvent, and that their depositors would lose nothing.
 Run on the Lincoln.
 The second episode was a rather more serious run inaugurated against the Lincoln Trust company. The run against this company was steady throughout the day, but was not serious at any time, and the sums withdrawn were not large. It Is an up- town institution, with a great many women depositors and it carried main | ly personal household accounts. The run against it was without importance to the city's banking interests as q whole. At the close of the day the company's officials announced that 1 they were fully able to meet all obli- gations and felt no nervousness as to I the outcome.

 Board Looks
 Askance.

The members of the board of seIectmen indulged themselves in de- cidedly sumptuous fares at the ex- pense of the city during their meetings for the purpose or making voters was the opinion of several of the members of the board of finance when the bills which they presented to that body for approval came up at the meeting last night. The bills, which total up the sum of $19S.S5 for seven men who de- clared on their bills that they had par taken of seventeen meals, were con- sidered pretty steep and one of the meals was set down at $19.95 for the seven which caused especial comment from the members. The figure of $2.85 per person for one meal looked like pretty good things to the members, as 1t was felt that $1 per man would be liberal allowance under the circum- stances. The bills were all approved, however the statement being made that there was nothing which gave tho board a right to reject the bills of the selectmen on account of their size, so they were passed with some reluc- tance.
 One feature of the bills escaped mo- tice until after they had all been ap- proved which if discovered sooner might have resulted in their being held up at least. For each of the days of regular session two meals were charg- ed with the exception of Monday, Sept 23, aad on this day the board evident 1y had a hungry streak, for it partooh of three squares on the city, two .oi which figured at s16.O5 and S1075, whil' the third brought the total of the day up to $3S65. The board considered that the men were entitled to charge for dinner and supper on each day O regular session, but when 1t came t ringing in a third meal and at a higl charge, too, it looked like little to, mrch.
 The bills as approved are divided among three restaurants as follows Heublein's, $75.5O; Oneco, $6S.sO, an( Whites Tontine, s4S95 They were al sent in with the 0. K mark of thu < town clerk to whom they were ren dcred.

Superintendent Coddington Says Kobel's Body May Have Been For

HOSPITAL CLERKS
 HAVE MUCH TO DO
Institution Authorities Fear ed They Would Have to Stand Burial
 Expenses.

A Seymour undertaken came to this city and removed the body of Joseph Nobel from the morgue at the New Haven hospital to Seymour, where the interment will take place to-day. This happening in itself would not seem strange, but the fact that it had lain at the morgue hospital since October without apparently attracting any attention from anyone within or with out that institution has caused con- siderable comment.
 The stories in regard to the matter differ, coming from different sources. That the man had died was made pub lie yesterday when James J. Carr, registrar of vital statistics, issued a permit to the Seymour undertaken to remove the body.
 The story told by the Seymour un- dertaker, whose name for some un- known reason is withheld is that the hospital authorities, after the man had died, forgot that his body was lying in the morgue and were only reminded of it when claimants ap- peared.
 The hospital, through the superin- tendent James Coddington, says that the man died October of typhoid fever and has since been in the morgue awaiting removal by the town of Seymour. MT. Coddington last night said:
 The case was a Seymour case and the town of Seymour and not the hos pital should pay the expense of bury ing the body If the hospital had buried it it would have done so at the risk of never getting the money back either from the town of New Haven or the town of Seymour.
 Tt is probably the case that the persons in charge forgot for day oi so Chat the body was in the morgue for they have great deal to thinl about Whether or not body whict lay in the morgue so long endangered the life or the health of the people connected with the hospital either a'

PARTY TROUBLED
Wedding Feast by Tallow Candle
 Light at Wee Burn Club.

Stamford, Oct. 24.-The failure of the electric lights caused much trouble at the dinner given in the Wee Burn Golf club at Noroton last night for the bridesmaids and ushers who attended the wedding to-day of pr. Ransom S. Hooker and Miss Mildred Phelps Stokes in St. Luke's chapel.
 The twenty-four guests as well as the bride and bridegroom had just seated themselves at the table when the lights went out and chorus of feminine shrieks arose.
 Steward Schmidt, of the golf club was in despair.
 My dinner is ruinedl'' he cried. Then he ran to a nearby country store and procured several pounds of tallow candles. There were arranged on the tables and the banquet went along merrily amid their smoke and wavering light. The dinner was near, ly over when the current came on again.
