 Matthew Dunphy of Bank street went to New York this morning and will spend a few days there.
 Miss Della Burns of Washing ton avenue, who has been on a vaca- tion to Newark, has returned home.
 None of the members of the Brooklyn Improvement society seem- ed to know this morning whether they were going to meet this evening. Tonight is the regular meeting night and although the society rests during the summer months it usual. ly resumes business the first week in September.
 The politicians were rather busy in this section last evening and the primaries tonight promise to bring out a large number of voters from the fourth. The anti-administratio men now claim they had a much larger gathering at their meeting of Tuesday evening than the regulars who met the following night. Groups of men were discussing noth- ing but politics last night and the result this evening will be eagerly awaited by many who think the con- test will be close.
 Several girls of the Third Con- gregational church met last evening at home of Miss Elizabeth Whittall on Washington avenue for the pur- pose of discussing plans for the bas. ketball teams which will represent the church this season. The candi- dates elected Miss Carrie Webster, captain of the first team and Miss Mary Selby, captain of the second five. Some of the candidates for the teams are Elizabeth Barrie, Eliza, beth Mackie, Elizabeth Whittall. Clara Woodward, Carrie Webster, Agnes Barrie. Lydia Lambert, Jen- nie Slusher, Marie Whittall and Mary Selby. The candidates will meet for practice on Thursday evening when they will be instructed by Miss El- sic Adams.
 -"Jack" Dahill. the steeple climber, who Is at present doing work on St Patrick's church, lost his pocketbook last evening; in 1t were s75. But Dahill, who is considered rather lucky fellow. was not long worrying about his loss for 1t was returned this morning in a rather peculiar manner. Last evening Da- hill was out calling and it seems had his purse resting carelessly in his hip pocket. Tn some manner the pocketbook fell from his pocket but Dahill did not miss 1t. In fact he did not know until this morning that his money was gone and perhaps would not have realized then only the man whose house he had been visiting called around bright and early with the purse.

THE CITY COURT
Judge Peasley Gave Definition of
 Drink of Beer" To-day.

When is a drink of beer not a drink of beer? You've got to read this for the answer. In the continued cases in the city court against Joseph Gecos, Frank Pekin and Frank Matu- savage the last named for maintain Ing a gambling place in his saloon in the Brooklyn district and the other two for frequenting tie same, the defense, conducted by Attorney Stokes this morning produced evil dence showing that the $2.35 which the policemen yesterday said they LOOK on the table, was just change for seven beers and three whiskies. Furthermore, the defense was that the money was knocked out of the hands of one of the accused and not picked on the table. Again, the evil dence was that the accused were playing for drinks, not money. They were playing what they called a hard times game, euchre in other words, because they considered it cheaper to get their drinks in that way than pay right out for them.
 Now, when is drink of beer not drink of beer? The law says a airing of beer is not drink of beer put a thing of value when cards are played for it. So on this occasion Judge Peasley found a drink of beer was not drink of beer but thing Of value and he accordingly fined the saloon keeper $25 and costs and the other two $10 and costs each.
 John Lumbara was found asleep on the railroad tracks last night. He Will sleep in jail for the next thirty nights. Leon Domingue made nui- sance of himself in the hallway of Mrs Charles Parsons apartments at 3l Grand street last night. He wal fined $10 and costs.

DEPUTY INSPECTOR
Two Men Wbo Claim Salary For
 Same Position.

The law committee held a meet- ing last night and listened to state ments from persons who have filed claims for damages resulting from negligence on the part of the city. Alderman John Hurley represented that owing to defective sewer on ocoViil street he was practically put out or business for three hours one saturday night, resulting in a loss 10 him of about $10 an hour. Alder man Walker wanted to know If 1t was not high figure for three hours business, but MT Hurley didn't think so.
 The next matter of interest was the claim of Otto Stage for service as deputy building inspector during the absence of MT Chatfield. This IS a case where two men claim the same office, but Robert Mackie who was elected by the present board of aldermen, acted during the absence or MT Chateld, and was paid. Mir stage contends that his election as deputy some time ago, holds during good behavior, but the powers that De don't take 1t that way. Mir Stage was represented by Attorney Lynch, Wno made strong plea for his ciient. He claimed that when the vote was taken on the election of a deputy, MT Mackie, who is an alder mal, voted for himself. This was indignantly denied by MT Mackie, who Is also a member of the law committee. These two cases and several others will be considered by the committee and reported upon to the aldermen.

CITY COURT CLOCK.
Has Lost Its Bearings With Old Fla.
 ther Time

Somebody's got hold of what once In while used to tell the time in the city court room. One time, long ago 1t was called clock, but 1t is so long since it told the truth about time that 1t was called any old thing. Some years ago it had a falling out with Father Time and they never made up. Several approaches were made to the old clock and it would keep in good humor for a day or two after but nothing could persuade It to look on the sunny side of things for day longer. It contradicted old Pop Time on every occasion. When the calender had 1t Fourth of July, this old clock was ticking off St Patrick's day. Or mayhap 1t would be Thanksgiving and every thing would be rejoicing while this old clock was frowning in the sack cloth and ashes of Fast day.
 Frequently of late it made mo- tion to stop altogether but a friend of Father Time induced it to get to work again. A period of good hu- nor seized it week ago and 1t made great efforts to make up for the time it lost during the past few years. But after day or so the old grouch seized 1t and back it went again. Now some one has it and probably will wash it's old face and Timber up its joints and get it into going humor again. It must have been the slow est clock in town.

TO LICENSE NEWSBOYS.
To Keep Those Under IA Of the
 Streets Late at Night,

New Haven, Sept "A meeting of the ordinance committee of the board of aldermen has been called for next Tuesday evening by Chair man Frank Kenna to consider again the passing of an ordinance requiring that newsboys be licensed and that they must wear badges. This is one of the important provisions of ordl- nances proposed along the line of child labor reform.
 That part of the proposed ordi- nance respecting newsboys Is of par ticular interest. It is desired that boys under IA be kept off the streets late at night, and the license sugges- tion affords remedy against the ex- isting evil of small boys being kept out. For unless one wears the tag of approval from the city or the chief of police, he will be ordered of.
