eFuhms Many Cunplainis Made ' Regarding Drivers of City of. man s teams—lire Name of Step Rook Read is Changed to Grand View Avenue A semi-monthly meeting of the Nor- walit City Council was held last night, at which several matters were discuss- ed, although the session was a brief one. lasting but half an hour. The first business was a new name for the thoroughfare known at pre- sent as the Step Rock Road. The change of name had come up before the last meeting of the Council, and the matter had been laid over for a couple of weeks to allow the residents to decide on, a more euphonious ap- pellation. A delegation of three citi- zens. S. F. Millard. W. H. ilickey and Thomas Parkinson. appeared with three names,'Berklcy 'avenue. Grand View avenue and Columbus avenue. These proposed names were presented on a paper signed by citizens saying that there was no particular choice be- tween the three. As there is already a Berkley street in the city, this name was not considered further. Thomas Parkinson spoke in favor of Grand View avenue and upon motion of Councilman Glover, it was voted by . the meeting that the Step Rook road , hereafter be onlclaiiy known by that name. Bills of the several departments of the city were ordered paid to the fol- lowing extent: Highway, 8221.38; Po- lice. 8147.50; Fire, $113.00; Sewer. 89; Library. $14.83; total, 8505.71. it was voted to borrowthe sum of 825,000 more. the same to be used to help pay the bills for the extension of the new sixteen inch water main.

The - complaints continued to‘Qcome with an. haying frequency. Yesterday a man had come to him to complain about this and said that on yesterday morn- ing the hose wagon had narrowly ea- caped running over a woman at Arch street. aCouncilman gird“ stated that he “I'll ' did i liken N ooIplaln, so intim- committal Iii shatterl could not 'be to _ saw no need of run the torch?“ such a "clip" and ought that than. could be taught to recognise the d”?- once rapid a practice. ,Adjourned. peasant. rnoav on strains; Connpcticuf Cruiser Took Hint On Board at Ioton Point, on Conley Last evening about 7: 80 o 'clock: the steamer Elfrida arrived in New Haven _ bar r a very pleasant at gaps“ a has run homeWTbe g1 Nlantic bay Saturday af- .. .. , withGovsrnerA MI. “lit-W oil" ~~ '51:: out into anion Point to ' tors and Mocking the exit from thegaug W by lubpfiction of hunches ‘i ,;.- mfg.“ in October. when It will be Per Cent.

The depositors of the Soutbport Na- tional Bank will be pleased with the news which comes from Washington that the Com trailer of the Currency has anthoris a first dividend of fif- ty per cent to be paid to the creditors of the bank which has been in in hands of a receiver. Mr. Pepper of St. Louis for some weeks past. This is a first dividend. and warranted by the assets of the bank already secured. and is not a final settlement. inquiry of ur. Sherwood at the bank yesterday afternoon coudrmsd the cor- rectness of the news Mr. Sherwood said that it is a first dividend. and the total amount of money to be disbursed will amount to between $50. 000 and 875, 000. it will take some time to com- ply with the technicalities before mon- ey can be paid. but the news that it is coming will g'ladden the hearts of many of the creditors who feared that their losses would be total. The dividend is drawn entirely from the valuable assets of the bank and is not the result of an assessment of the stockholders. The total liabilities of the bank have not yet been accura- ately “pertained and no assessment will be probably levied until that is accurately known it has been ru- mored that an assessment canal to the holding of each stockholder would be levied but this cannot be told until the final figures are secured. The div- idend is the result of returns up to the present time, and it is hoped that If an assessment Ia levied it will be a much smaller one than 100 per cent.

Boland. aged fourteen was found In the yard of his home. this morning. and the fact was quickly evi- dent that he had taken his life. No fatality In this city for a long time. has been an extraordinary. The only ex planatlon for the lads act is that he feared chutiaement for disobedience. The lad was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Boland. of 40 Been“ avenue. who have four other children. He had been a very bright obedient boy, and a general favorite among his play- mates. Last night he wished to go to the theatre but his parents refused to allow him He afterwards left the house and attended the performance. His absence from home during the evening and his failure to return after the hour at which the theatre closed. led the parents to go out in search for him. Early this morning his body was found in the yard. Boland had placed a rope about his neck. attached the other end to a tree and than on his hands and knees. crawled away from ~ the tree until the rope had tightened In this position the lad had strangled to death. \ Medical Examiner Paddock and Cor- oner Brown both viewed the body and inquired into the case. The verdict was that young Boland met death at his own hands The meats. who are heartbroken over the loss of their boy. cannot ac» count for his act, except that he fear- ed being punished for going on of the house.

Rev. Mr. James presided, and read the scriptures and called on lilaa Grace Wiest to offer prayer. 11m Rev. Theo- dore Leonhard. who for twenty-two years was a missionary at (.ionstanti~ nople. was the first speaker. He gave an interesting account of his call to the missionary held and also of his voyage, which made a great Impression upon him when he entered the Altic Sea and saw the cldssical lands and Greece and when he came into the Aegean Sea and saw the land Paul had passed over There was Patmos where John received his wonderful vision. As he entered the Boaporua. he told of the .beauty of the white city Constantl- noplc. with its slender turre and min urets rising to the sky Wh is entering the city he found that. although beau- tiful on the outside. it was nltby on the inside. The streets were so nar- row, the foot traveler was likely to come in contact with the passing don. key and cart. The mosques hold a prominent place in the minds and hearts of the inhabitants. There are many of them. and at each one there is a man stationed to call the people to prayer. There are five calls to prayer. and such is the attendance to them that, although sometimes it happens to be at night. they answer the calls.
