The proposition to increase the tax
collector's salary $300 for clerk hire, was
next considered. William H. Smith, of
Norwallr, offered the following resolu
tion: «
Resolved, That the sum of $800 per
annum, beginning September Int, 1891;.
be and the same is hereby appropriated
from the town treasury for the expense
of clerk hire in the tax collector’s office.
Bradley S.“’keith, the moderator of
the meetingrcnlled attention to article
XXIV ., of the trigonometry? he Con-
stitution, whlhh' feeds in roll _ :
Neither the General Assembly nor
any county, city. borough, town, or
school district shall have power to pay
or grant an extra compensation to any
public officer, employee, agent, or set-
vant, or increase the compensation of
any public oflicer or employee. to take
effect during the continuance in cities of
any person whose salary might be in-
creased thereby, or increase the pay or
compensation of any public contractor
above the amount specified in the con-
tract.
Judge James T. Hubbell said that in
1879 the salary of the tax collectcr was
placed at $000 per year. At that tiuie
the taxes amounted to $17,740.49 and the
number of tax bills made out was 1,095
At the present time the tax is $60,071.17
and the number of bills, 3,220, with 1.200
commutation tax bills additional. He
did not think the request of the tax col-
lector for a clerk was out of place. He
spoke of the convenience and necessity
of having the otiice of the collector open
at all times. He also citedthe increased
labor and responsibility, and insisted
that the collector needed an assistant.
A viva vcce vote on the question was
called for, and asthe result was in doubt.

the moderator's desk. The tellers were
Theodore Smith and William H. Smith.

there was one blank ballot. The appro-
priation was then declared passed.

and wife, are each seeking a decree of
divorce. The case was on trial before
Judge Ralph Wheeler in the Superior
Court, yesterday. The husband alleges
that his wife was guilty of adultery,
which the defendant denies. and she
asks for a decree on the grounds of de—
scrtion and cruelty. Attorney John .‘I.
Walsh uppi‘urs for the plaintiff, and At-
torney John H. Light for the defendant.
The plaintiff is about twenty—two
years of age. ‘In his testimony he said
he was married when he was five weeks
over seventeen years old. The marriage
took place at Port Chester, N. Y , Feb-
ruary 8,1801. ills wife's name was Jen.
uie Larabee. She is two months older
than the plaintiff. He is a printer by
trade. The complaint of the plaintiff
alleges that in the early part of August,
1893, his wife Jennie occupied a room
for three nights in the lodging house
kept by Miss Nellie E. Burt. of IN
Crown street. New Haven. with ' ‘ arles
ti. Parrish, a printer, of Providend r
The case opened with a deposition of
the alleged paramour, in which be ad-
mitted having had improper relations
with Mrs. Ezekiel. Letters were sub-
mitted as evidence, letters the wife had ;
written to Parrish. who, it appears, hurl i
become converted at a revival meeting '
and made acleau breast of the affair to
Mr, Ezekiel and gave to him the letters.

In tho- afternoon Mrs. Ezekiel Was
called to the stand. Tier testimony
consisted in a general denial of the
charges brought by her husband. l‘ar'
rish had been a friend of here, but she
had not incl improper relations with
him. The letters were handed to her
and she was asked to identify them.
Shelmked them over and then stated
that parts of the letters scorned familiar
to her, but that the rest did not. The
parts familiar were the least coin-
promising. She thought that the let-
sbe amended this statement by saying
