Meeting
OF City Council.

The commissioners voted at the regu-
lar meeting of the city council, Monday
evening, that Chas. NJ Shorey be given
the sum of S25 for injuries to a horse,
received in Depot square a few months
ago. The commissioners felt that while
Mr.. Shorey had no legal claim against
the city, it would be well to help him to
this extent.
The resignation of A. B. Goliath as
sealer of weights and measures was
read and accepted Chief Engineer S.
D. Soule of the, fire department presented
the amount of money which would be
required by his department during the
coming year. A request was received
from Misses Lewis and Maxcy for the
use of the common on Christmas night
for a community Christmas tree. The
request was granted.
The matter of overhanging signs on
Water street was brought to the atten-
tion of the council and their removal
discussed. The matter was taken under
advisement for one week.
A Communication from the State high
way department was read, concerning
the maintenance of State aid highways
and plans for the construction of such
highways, during 1914. In accordance
with the request of the department the
matter will receive the prompt attention
of the commissioners. Adjourned.

Arkansas, Utah
And Florida in n. Y.
Marks End Of 5000 Mile VOy-
age TO Mediterranean.
Encountered 5-Days Gale on Last
Stages Of Journey.

New York, Dec. 15.-The battleships
wyoming, Arkansas, Utah and Flor.
da came into port, today. out OF the
teeth of a five-days gale that marked
the end of a voyage of 5000 miles. They
were a part of the fleet that left
Hampton Roads, oct. 25, for the Med
iterranean on pleasure trip for OH
GERS ard men. which was to demon
strate that squadron of United states
battleships can cross the Atlantic and
return without having recourse to for
eign ports for supplies.
The fleet comprised nine battleships
and not an ounce of coal, oil or preVis-
ions was purchased during their alb
senc4 of more than seven weeks. This
is a record in the United States navy,
the officers said, today. Three golfers
and provision ship carried all neces-
sary supplies, enough to have sustain
ed the fleet much longer if necessary, 1t
was said.
OF the rest of the squadron the Yer
mont is bound for Norfolk with
broken shaft, and the Delaware is with
the Connecticut and Kansas on their
way to Mexico and the Ohio to Guam
tanamo with two smallpox patients OH
board, who will be landed there After
disinfection and proper quarantine,
she also will proceed to Mexico.
The ships that arrived today, were
somewhat battered from their encount-
ers at 10 knots with mountainous seas,
but no serious effects were reported.
Out of quota of nearly 10000 men,,
there were only five desertions, an un-
usual record, it was said.
The serious illness of Capt. Freder-
lex L. Chaplin of the Wyoming, marred
the pleasures of the homecoming on
the flagship. He was taken i'll, week
ago, with kidney trouble and was re-
moved to the Marine hospital on the
arrival of the Wyoming at the Brook
lyn navy yard. Tonight his condition
was reported to be critical.
