IT ENBSTHE'LII‘E OF AN EAST NOBWALK MAN. Henry II. Pierce Who Lived Alone In Apartments on lort Polnt Strut. Bo- comes Dupondent Whll- Recoverin- From a Spree and ‘l'nlea Poison. Henry H. Pierce, of 80 Fort Point street, East Nurvvalk, died at the Nor- walk Hospital, about 7 o'clock last even- ing. from the effects of a dose of Paris green, taken with suicidal intent. 7 Mr. Pierce, who was about fifty-three years of age, owned the house in which he liVed, but kept bachelors ball in one portion and rented the remaining apart- ments. They are occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Walters and family. ' This state of affairs has existed since his wife died last January. Pierce was a hard drinker, and had periodical sprees which would last several days. During these periods, when he was very deepen- dent, Joseph Lockwood acted as his con- stant companion, and furnished him ivith liquor. Pierce was a great sufferer from rheumatism, and had often remark- edthat he wished he was dead. It is thought that he was in one of these des~ pendent moods when he committed the act which ended his life. He was on a spree all last week. Saturday he began to sober up. He would eat nothing, but kept his strength up on liquor. When he came out of these periodical sprees he wasnaturally very weak and remained in bed most of the time. Sunday afternoon, between and 3 o’clock, he called Mrs. Walters into his apartments and told her he had taken a large dose of Paris Green. She refused to believe him at first, but he was so earnest that she aroused young Lock- wood, who was asleep up stairs, and Dr. Baker was sent for. He was not at home at the time, so between 7 and 8 o'clock Mr. Walters went after him. The doctor returned with him,and al- though Pierce had vomited up a portion of the poison, the physician found him in great pain. Dr. Baker advised the man’s removal to the hospital, where he could be nursed and prescribed for him. Yesterday Pierce had a poor day and at 4 o'clock was taken to the hospital in the ambulance. lie was very weak, but managed to walk to the gate. He grew rapidly Worse after reaching the hospital and died about 7 o’clock. The attend- ing physicians ascribe his death to the shock from the spree and the effects of the poison. Pierce had no living relatives in this vicinity. Last night Undertaker Ray- mond, who took charge of the body, tele- graphed to the dead man’s brother in Shelburne Falls, of his death. Last suin- mer Pierce mule a will, bequeathing all of his pr nperty to this brother. The in- strument was witnessed by several of the neighbors. The Paris green taken by the suicide was some left from a quantity that he purchased for his potatoo vines. ‘l’it-rcu was born in Vermont. l.lr* eli- listed from Meridcn in Company t', Suv- enteenth Regiment, Connecticut \‘olun- teer, in 1801. He was pi'u'noti‘d to sec- ond lieutenant for gallant service, and held that oilice until he was discharged, though since the war he had always been called captain. During the war he was taken prisoner and confined at Camp Sorghum, at (Yolumbirr, S.

The 'l‘erpslchorean Iestlvltlos Preceded hyuarand Concert In which Singers of Note from Nor-walk! and Surrounding Towns Delighted the Large Audience. It goes without saying that the an nual concert and ball of the Arion Sing- ing Society was a complete success in every way. It was held last night in the society’s well-arranged hall on Mad ison street, and notwithstanding the numerous counter-attractions there was a large attendance, and the receipts were of the most gratifying character» The programme began at 8:30 o'clock wrth Bach's "Schauapiel," rendered by an orchestra of seven pieces, under the direction of Professor Richard Vogler. The selection was well rendered, as w.re also several others interspersed throughout the programme. Tire chorus of the Arion society acquitted themselves,” usual, with great credit in their selection, "Ich Bin ein Deutscher," by Liebe. Professor Vogler was the leader. Master Reginald Zunder, the boy violinist from New Haven, was con- ceded by the audience to be one of the most accomplished artists ever heard in town. His skill was fully brought out in Donizettl‘s “Daughter of the Regi- meat," and the intonation was perfect. The Stamford Turn Verein, under the direction of Lender Menz, rendered Mal. met'e “O, Lleb so Lang du Lichen Kannst." The baritone solo was sung by Richard Vogler, of South Norwalk, formerly of Stamford, and the audience was delighted with his rich voice and the strong support he received from the chorus. Master Zuniler again showed his ability in the duct with Louis Well, diet) a violinist of the first rank from New Haven. The liernianiu Sing- ing society sang lllendelssohn's ‘*Turck~ ishes Sr-lienkenliet ," and did it in a way that called forth hearty i'xprI-ssion of up provnl from the listeners. The chorus, under Professor 'l'hr-il‘s leadership, is ad- vancing rapidly.and fully deserved the applause accorded It last night. On ric- count of acold, Charles Goodfellow, of Bridgeport, was unable to give the solo announced, and Matt. Wheeler, also of Bridgeport, in his place, sang a humor- ous selection, displaying his versatility in reeponseto an encore by giving a very dramatic rtcitation, which the audience npplaudcd with vigor. The appearance of Messrs. Leigh Whittaker and J. Masomof Norwnlk and Bridgeport, was enthusiastically received, and these fine. vocalislsanil favorites, wrth the Arion society, and others in town, did not die- appoint their n uditors a particle in their interpretation of "Al- bion" by llrnhm. Their Voices blended most harmoniously. The Con- cordia society, of Bridgeport, sustained their high reputation in thr- rendering of Weinzierl's “llerbstnacht.” thr- prize song for the second class in the Singer- fvsl at Madison Square (lardcn, New York, last summer. and from the libr ral applause accorded them the audience would have liked more. Tire chorus was under the direction of popular llun Loser. The excellent programme concluded with ltoash‘s “Fairy Trip“ by the orches. tra, and then the. members of the Arion society were grouped on the stage and a photograph taken of them. The scene on the floor during the dancing (‘1' the Lanciers was taken later in the evr-ning.

TAXATION OF PROPERTY. The Duties of Boards of Ann-sou Est-Ir fished by the Luv. Editor of The L‘tening Sentinel: The town of Darien having. at its last annual town meeting, instructed its usessors to assess the taxable property in the town "at its full value," has caused some irri- tation and much fault-finding, as. it is alleged, this would compel Darien to pay an abnormal and larger proportion of the state tax than towns which did not as» sess their property according to law. This indicates that there is much mis- apprehension of the duties of assessors, and this seems to be the proper time, and the. columns of your widely circulated journal the proper place, to call the at. tention of tax-payers and assessors throughout the state to the duties of use semen; established by the law, the laugh- age of which is extremely simple, plain and unmistakable. Title Xli of the Gen- eral Statu'es. Chapter 1. Section 13, says: “All property ** * * to be set in the list at their true and actual valuation." Whenever assessors assess property at 00 per bent. of its value (or any other per- centage) the presumption exists that they know the actual valuation, and the ret_ ting down in the lists of any other valua1 tion than "the present and actual valua- tions" is a willful infraction of the law. and neither previous custom, nor ignor- ance of the law, is a valid plea for abate- ment of punishment. Whenever the assessors take oath to the lists not made according to law, they willfully and corruptly testify to what they know is not true; and are liable to actions against them for perjury, for they swear that they “verily believe that all the lists and abstracts of said town, for the year 18- are made up and perfected according to law." This evil is far-reaching, nullifying the ability of towns to collect taxes, and rendering tax titles void. where such assessments have been made: for, if the assessment is incorrect, irregular and il- legal, the tax levy must be illegitimate, and can there-fore be set aside. If there is one class of cases more than another to Whll'l} our courts hold to a strict construction of the law, it is the one relating to reality. thihsequently it is of the utmost importance. that the assessment of property for taxes, the levying of taxes and the sale of property for taxes, should be strictly according to law. If this letter achieves throughout the state an assessment of all its taxable pro- perty at its present and actual valuation, and so equalize the burden of taxation, it will ha’ve accomplished its object.

A PENNSYLVANIA MAN INJURED BY AN UNRIJLY HORSE. Louis Watson, of Reading, Knocked down at the Washington arrest Crossing and Bi- l‘aco Frightfnlly Out and Bruised— other Accidents. Morris E. Harrigan, coacbman for Wil- liam D. F. Prentice, who occupies the Woodward homestead, was driving over the Washington street crossing about 7 o'clock last evening, when the horse, which is a spirited one, became fright- ened at a trolley car on the West avenue line. It seemed to bystanders as though a man giving his name as Louis Wat- son, of Reading. Penn, walked directly toward the animal. He was s'ruck by the horse's breast and thrown down, and his cries attracted a large crowd. He was carried to Baxter’s drug store, where it wasifouml that his nose was nearly torn offjand his face frightfully cut and bruised. The druggists could do nothing for him, however, and he was taken to Dr. C. G Bohaonan's office, from which place he was removed to the hospital in the ambulance. The horse turned up North Main street and the turnont struck the South Nor- walk Beef company's wagon, turning it partly around. The animal was finally quieted and the police took charge. The driver was held at police headquarters until information came from Medical Examiner Burke that Mr. Watson’s in- juries would not prove fatal, when he was released. .Prosecuting Attorney Joseph Taylor was an eye witness to the accident and stated he did not think Mr. Eartigan could be held responsible for the unfortunate affair. A Valuable Trotter Runs Away. The valuable trotter owned by Harry Brewer, of East avenue, ran away yrs- terday afternoon at the Fair Grounds track. Mr. Brewer had been speeding the animal, and started to get into his wagon to'nlrne brine, when the lion-o started. He retained his hold upwr the lines, but Cwllld not restrain the animal. Rather than lli.‘ rirrgge-l, for he is a crip pie, he let the horse run. in going through the gates the natural freed him- self from the wagon and started for his owner's barn. The vehicle was badly damaged, the dash-imam being broken, the axle sprung, and one side of the wagon body torn off. The vehicle was a new Whalebone wagon winch Mr. Brewer had just purchased for $325. to replace one that the horse stiraslied in another runaway. Mr. [frovver says the horse is gentle, but has the bad habit of starting ollnhen u person attempts to get into the wagon.
