A democratic caucus will begheld this
evening in the council chambers to
nominate a candidate to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the death of Couuncilman
George Bogart. It is believed that
Eugene Tolles and Henry D. Fox are
aspirants for the honor. The meeting
will be called to order at 8 o’clock.
Frantz Haydl, the popular engineer
of Frank Becker’s delivery wagon, ar—
rayeu himself in a new yaller water-
proof suit yesterday morning so that
he might bid defiance to the elements.
He then went to the barn to hitch up,
and his criss-cross canine, Growler,
supposing that Frantz was a Lapland
savage, resented the intrusion, and now
the new toggery looks as if it had had
a dispute with a double-breasted cy-
clone.
One of the DAILY GAZETTE’s constant
readers, who lives in the central part of
New York state, writes to say that, in
addition to Collector Snyder’s policy
of imposing a prohibitory tariff on the
importation of vacant pauper stomachs,
the correspondent thinks if a heavy tar-
111' were imposed on “official red tape,”
it would yield a greater revenue than
that derived from all other sources com-
bined, for the reason that the tape is an
article more extensively consumed than
anything else on this hemisphere, “jig-
water” not excepted. He also remarks
that the GAZETTE is the best daily pa-
per with which he is acquainted.
Yesterday morning the depression of
that portion of the Fort Point road
which passes under the new above-
grade railroad bridge, was flooded with
rain water to a depth of two feet or
more, and pedestrians were obliged to
wear long-legged rubber boots in order
to get through. One gallant citizen at-
tempted to carry a lady through the
raging billows; but after reaching the
deepest place, down they went to the
bottom of the depression, and when
they escaped, they presented the ap-
pearance of a brace of half-drowned 1'0-
dents. The railroad company have con‘
structed fences each side of the tracks
which would puzzle an agile ursine
baboon to surmount. This distressing
state of affairs demands a remedy.

[From the New Haven llegisterd
The peculiar performances of Steeple
Charlie at St. Patrick’s chm-ch, New
Haven, so aroused the curiosity of the
spectators that it was determined by a
number of them to sit up all night, if
necessary, in order that the wiley
climber might not escape them. Ac—
cordingly at midnight to group of about
15 persons gathered at the corner of
Wallace street and Grand avenue and
begantheir self imposed night vigil.
They did not have long to wait. In
about an hour footsteps were heard
coming down Grand avenue. They
proved to be the footsteps of Charlie.
He entered the church with a key
which he took from his pocket and
ascended the stairs in the tower.
Soon the form of the climber was seen
to emerge from the little south window
midway up the steeple.

wooden seat and the ropes which he
had adjusted yesterday morning to the
belfrey.
ladder of only ten rungs.
himself up again to the little window
carrying the ladder with him, not an
easy job at best,
Then began the real ascent of the
spire to the golden ball and cross at the
apex. It will be remembered by those
that have ever noticed the steeple of
this church that it is in the shape of a
hexagonal pyramid. and has a series of
modern knobs or balls on each of the
edges, which serve as an ornament to
the strips of wood which hide the
ragged edges of slate.
On one of these wooden balls directly
above the little window he placed his
ladder and ballanced it nicely against
the edge. Then he walked up the lad—
der until he got to the topmost rung.
Here he paused a moment, seemingly 3
to get breath and then stood on one of
the wooden knobs. He pulled the lad-
der up after him, placed it against the .
steeple, walked 11p the ladder, balanced
himself 011 one of the knobs, drew the
ladder up after him again and so on
until the top was reached.
When the climber had reached the
apex he stood on the golden ball and
placed his hands on the cross. He re—
mained in this position for several mo-
ments and then he began to draw up a
big rope by means of a fine line, which
had not forgotten to provide himself
with when he started. He fastened
the rope around the cross and tied his
ladder to it. Then he lighted several
matches and seemed "to be examining
the injuries to the cross. Then he came
down the rope very easily, slid into the
little round window, came down stairs
and walked up the avenue without
deigning to notice the group who
pressed around him to get a good look
at him. The ascent and descent to—
gether odcupied just half an hour.

New York, Jan. 23.~Much anxiety
is evinced in New York, and particu-
larly in yachting circles, as to the fate
of the intreprid mariner, Capt. F. L.
Norton, who started on November 24
last from New London in his life-boat
yacht, the F. L. Norton. bound for
Toulon, France. I
Capt. Norton is a brother of the naval
constructor and is well known in New
York. His wife and neice accompanied
him, and the boat was manned bya
crew of seven. A press dispatch
from London on December 19 an-
nounced that the Norton had been
sighted off Gibraltar 011 December 18.
Since then no report of the life—boat
has been received.
Inquiries made at the office of the
Norton Naval Construction and Ship
Building Company (of which Capt.
Norton is president), at No. 18 Broad-
way, developed the fact that neither
the friends of Capt. Norton nor his
business associates here had any word
f1°01nhim since he set sail from New
London. Capt. Norton’s home is at
No. 139 W'est Eighty-seventh street.
The life-boat Norton is a very small
craft, being only fifty-eight feet in
length over all, by twelve and a half
feet beam.
Capt. Norton’s object in visiting
Toulon was to receive the prizes
awarded him by President Carnot for
life-saving devices. These prizes were
given on the recommendation of the
special commission appointed by the
French government to examine and
test life-saving appliances of all de-
scriptions.
Two tests were made, one at Cher—
bourg, last May, where the yacht
N eversink was tested, and one at Tou-
lon, in July, where a life-boat similar
to the F. L. Norton, built especially
for the French service, was tested.
The prizes consisted of a gold medal, at
Sevres vase and a diploma.
