not had such a service as it should have
had, but he would guarantee a much
improved service under a new contract.
Director E. S. Adams said that. in the
past few days, eighty-nine ground wires
had been removed. and that the lights
had been thoroughly cleaned. At pres-
ent they were brighter than ever before.
He, referred to the additions and im-
provements about to be world to the me-
ohrnery, as already outlined in the Sen-
tine].
When asked by Mayor Wheeler about
figures, Mr. Adams said that Council-
man Tristram had three-year contract
figures, but if the city would consider I1
live-year contract the electric light com-
pany would be pleased to talk on that
basis.
After the discussion Councilman Boy-
or offeredarosolution, giving the light
committee, Messrs. Tristrpm, (Joinery
and Boyer, power to make a contrast.
The resolution was carried.
In regard to the amendments to the
city charter, the city clerk was authori-
zqi to give legal notice of the proposed
changes, as required by law.
Mayor Wheeler reported that he met
the representatives of the Street Iluil-
way Hand Tramway companies in the
morning, and that, in all probability,
joint trackage wonll be in operation in

The second public meeting of St.
Joseph‘s Lyceum was held in, Music
Hall, last night. and despite the cold and
disagreeable weather was largely at-
tended. Through the energetic eilorts
of Father Winters, assisted by the vari-
ous committees of the Lyceum, a pro
gramme of unusual merit had been pre-
pared, which rendered the entertain-
ment enj 'Iyable in the highest degree.
Dr. John ’1‘. Kennedy presided, and
seats upon the stage were occupied by
Father Winters, Joseph L. 0' Brien and
Attorney (Sieorge A. [I Inueekor.

The still breehe blowing. yesterday.
kicked up quite a we. on the Sound.
Early in the day the water became so
rough that sever-ale! the smaller sized
boats put into tho harbor. By nightfall
the Sound was ten rough for travel ex-
cept on the part of the large craft.
The steamer Boeedale, of Bridgeport,
left New York on time; but was unable
to make much headway against the
wind nnd'wuves. She reached a point
in the Sound opposite Wilson Point har-
bor in the neighborhood of 7 o’clock.
The roughness was increasing and as
the passengers were already very sea-
sick and likely to become more so if the
bout continued, it was thought best by
Captain Witherwax to put into the her-
bor. This was donennd those of the
passengers who were so disposed took
the trains for Bridgeport, coming up
from the Point on the 7:10 and 7:30
trolleys. The Rosedule remained at the
Point until this noon. and may be there

er continues.

love to Two Women.
Timothy B. Porter, of Stamford, was
subjected to a rigid crossvexamiuation
yesterday in the trial of his suit for
I”00,000 damages for conspiracy. Schuy-
ler Merritt, one of the defendants, is the
brother of his former wife.
A letter was read concerning the sign-
ing of the codicil, which made Mr. Mer-
rit non-executor of his de Id wife's es-
tate. This was signed on December 13‘,
1891, two hours before her death, and
Mr. Porter said that it was a conspiracy.
She was not mentally capable of execu-
ring it, and in her dying moment she
raised her hand and said: “No, no, no;
not that wuy,” declaring she did not
want Merritt us executor. Mr. Porter
said he did not protest then because he
I
feared the excitement would kill her.
Mr. Fessendon then read extracts from
letters-some to Miss Clarke, of Siam-
lord, and others to Miss Eurie~sbowim
that as early IIII April, 1892, Mr. Porter
contemplated rte-marriage A letter
written in June, 1892, to Miss Clark
consisted of almost score of closely
written pages, in which he indulged in
many potestitions of regard for the
young woman, com-bod in elegant
Iungnauo. This It‘litll‘ IrouIIiuI'rd :1
copy of :1 letter to his son, L Iuis Porter,

marrying Miss Clarke.
