CONSIDERS ESTIMATES
Park Board Also Discusses New
 lighthouses.

The monthly meeting of the board of park commissioners was held last even Ing, at which the report of the work which has been done during the month on the park system was made by Su- perintendent Amrhyn. The chief pec, of work reported Is an improvement In the section of English drive near Or ange street, which Is the gift of Com. missioner Henry r. English. The re- port nlso states that small reservoir to hold 6O,O00 10 7).000 gallons and a new pump house Is needed on East Rock park to replace the old pump house, which is now worn out.
 The estimates for the coming year were submitted and referred without action to the finance committee. A motion was passed that Chief Cowles be asked to have two patrolmen stationed at Fort Hale park on Sunday each week to care for the crowd which that day visits this park.
 Another matter that was considerably discussed was the erection of a separ- ate bath house at Fort Hale beach for women. The members of the board are all of the opinion that there should be separate one for women instead of the setting aside of certain days for their exclusive use. The boar will at tempt to have the matter favorably acted upon

VALUABLE SITE
 CHANGES OWNER Property Occupied by R. H. Nesbit Go. at Church and Elm Goes to Security
 Insurance Go.
WILL ERECT NEW OFFICES
New Land will Probably Be Used for Up-to-Date Office Building for Strong New Haven
 Concern.

Another important realty deal in- yolving property in a central location was recorded yesterday In the sale of the property at the corner of Church and Elm streets, now occupied by the R, II. Nesbit company to the Security Insurance company of Center street. The grantors are Strong, Barnes, Hart & Company. The consideration is not divulged, but the property Is among the most valuable In the city for busi- ness purposes and It's sale undoubted- ly involved considerable money. The land fronts 50 feet on Elm street and has considerable depth on Church street.
 When 1t was learned that this prop erty had been sold there was a rumor In effect about the town that this site had been secured on behalf of some projectors of the proposed new hotel in the center of the city This rumor was given color by the fact that the origin al site which had been picked for this hotel. the Sargent property'right across the street from the Nesblt store, has been secured by the county for the erection of the new County Court building and will not of course be available for the hotel. It was stated by man who Is connected with the sale, however, that the site has not been acquired for hotel purposes and that such a rumor is utterly without foundation. He would not disclose the reason for the purchase nor state what use the Security company intends to do with the newly acquired property. From another authoritative source however, 1t was learned that the com pany plans to erect new general of- flee for It's business on this site. The large growth of business done by the firm together with the fact that the erection of new six-story building or the site of the former Connecticut Say ings bank building shuts off the light which the company formerly had fol Its present handsome offices in Center street have led to the decision to erec more coinmodious and satisfactor, quarters on this new site.
 No definite plans have yet been mad' for the new structure for which thu securing of this property is the frs step, It Is believed that construction will not be started for some time ant that considerable time will be given t MT. Nesbit SO that his business vii not be injured at All by the transac ton. It is likely, however, that wher the plans are made they will show on' of the handsomest buildings of thu kind and for the purpose which th' state can show. With the City Beauti full being placed in concrete form oi the block just above in the new II
 brary and court buildings the archi
 tects will no doubt have in mind thu same idea and will plan a structure

BRYAN SUITS HERE
Local Democrats Consider Him Good Standard Bearer
 This Year.
KERN A BIG SURPRISE
Taken as Indication That Eastern States Are Consid-
 cred Hopeless.

The general feeling that the expect ed had come to pass in the nomination of William J. Bryan for president at the Denver convention was prevalent about town last night and among the majority of the democrats the idea seemed to prevail that he was the strongest man the party could non,in- ate for. standard bearer in ths present campaign despite the two defeats he has sustained. Mayor Martin was among those who expressed tho satis- faction of the democrats when hA said that the nomination was as good d one as had ever been made and there is also the feeling among the democrats that Bryan has the best show for cleo ton he has had In any of the three times he has been nominated. The western states are the ones that are looked upon to give Bryan his major itics while In the east the local dem ocrats feel that he will not carry any of the states in all probability New York which Is frequently doubtful state Is considered by most of those who are posted in this city to be safe- ly in the Taft column on account of the peculiar political situation which prevails in that state. W
 Tn the nomination of John W. Kern of Indiana for vicc-president a com pletc surprise was sprung locally and most of those who have been interested In the party and the nominations did not know who the candidate was. IL was pointed put however. that his nomination was probably due to the feeling that the east would do nothing for Bryan while the west and middle states would be debatable ground and should ret all the honors instead of distributing them. Towne was con. sidered a prominent candidate locally.
 Taking 1t all together the local dem- ocrats are pretty we'll satisfied with the ticket which their delegates al Denver have placed In nomination and they believe that 1t will be able to give the republican ticket good argument in the November test

 Nf% ing Meat Market.

William S. Kenny of Crown street, was captured in the meat market of Harry s,wirsky at 32 Congress avenue, shortly before midnight last night by Special Officer Keegan and was ar- rested on the charge of burglary Of- ficer Keegan's attention to the case was due to the announcement to him by a small urchin about the street that he saw man working on the door of the store with chisel. He went down to investigate and on ar irving there found that the lattice work door which is fastened with a paddock had been opened. He went in and came upon Kenny inside. So far as could be learned last night, nothing was missing from the store. A chiseI with which 1t is supposed the entrance was secured was found ly- ing inside the door.

MCNEIL THE LAST SURVIVOR

Denver, July 10.-The democratic national convention concluded its la bors late this afternoon by the nomina- tion of John Worth Kern of Indiana for president, completing the tick ct on which William Jennings Bryan was made the nominee for president during the early hours of this morning. The nomination of Kern was made by exclamation amid the resounding cheers of delegates and spectators. No ballot was necessary as the tide of sentiment had set irreslstibly toward the Indiana candidate, state after state registering their delegations in his fla vor and all other candidates with drawing before the universal demand for his nomination. The convention af- ter adjourning at daylight with the nomination. of Mir. Bryan, resumed it's session at ?. m. with powerful un- dercurrent already in motion toward the nomination of Kern for second place. On the call of the states Indiana presented the name of Kern; Colorado. through former Governor Thomas plac- ed In nomination Charles A. Towne of New York; Connecticut presented Archibald McNeil and Georgia Clark Howell
 The names of Judge George Gray, of Delaware and of John Mitchell of Ill., nois, were not presented, owing to the explicit requests of these gentlemen not to have their names go before the con- vention
 For time 1t looked as though a bal lot would be required but the steady line of states which joined in seconding Kern's nomination soon made 1t appar- ent that the chapces of all other can didates had been extinguished. Mir Towne, in person, was the first candi- date to recognize the decisive nature of the Kern movement and in a ringing speech he withdrew his name from consideration and pledged his support to the ticket of Bryan and Kern With drawas followed from the supporters of Howell, of Georgia, and McNeil of Connecticut. leaving the Indiana can didate a clear field.
 The withdrawal of the Connecticut candidate was accompanied by mo- tion that the nomination of Kern be made by exclamation. The motion was carried with deafening shout, and the great assemblage broke into clam orous demonstration on the accomplish ment of it's work and the completion of the democratic national ticket.
 The nomination was made at 4:23 o'clock and the convention thereupon adjourned without delay.
 The democratic national committee will assemble tomorrow to complete its new organization and to select the chairman who will be the commanders
