' Last night's special town meeting
developed little .more enthusiasm than
a funeral would have. This can prob-
‘ ably be explained by the fact that
the hundred or so voters who had as-
sembled at the town hall had become
thoroughly tired out at the reading
of the reports of the town officers.
'- This task required. despite the omit-
ting of the town‘health officer‘s re-
port. and twu voluminous sections of
the school visitors’freport, almost an
hour. -
After the reading of the call

"Why our opinion is that 5,! will
never be paid. Might as Wellget a

This developed a hearty laugh which
lasted for a minute. Dennis Lane. a
Main street man, had come to the
meeting prepared evidently, for the
worst.
“I move that the report be accep-
ted." he cried. Some one seconded
‘the motion and the meeting quickly re-
ceived it.
. The only questions asked in regard
to the report were those propoundcd
by James 10. Ells.‘.lr.. who wanted to

'trars were credited 11p with such large

LONDON. Sept. 26.«Iiilerestiiig luci-
donta of the experiences of the Eu-
glishmen ‘connected with the old in
dustry at Bakue are reaching their
relatives In_ England. Williams, one
of the four Englishmen rescued from
a mob at Balakhan. writes that the

idea of the actual occurrences. He
adds:
"I was shut tip in my place at Sea-
brat for five days without any water
except halzan (local mineral water).
All the people hcrc were crying and
fainting. All around were fires and
rifle shots. Ten Armenians were kill-
ed out of those in our own. yard. You
could not walk a yard without several
shots being fired at you. We tried to
save the wounded. but the, shooting
was too good and we gave up the at-
tempt." '

British subject, after describing the
commencement of the outbreak Sep-

ing the night of September 6, Tartars
entered the workmen's barracks at
Romanl and massacred everybody in
them within an hour. Five hundred
Tartars surrounded the works where
MacCallum was stationed and forced
him to give up the Armenians hiding
on the premises; He added:
"Fourteen of? “these were butchered
in our yard with fiendish brutality. The
band had carts ready to take away

Attorney John 1. Welsh Gives
Figures from 1880 to the
Present Year——Shows an In-
crease of $203,004.42, and
Limit May he Reached Soon
Attorney John J. Walsh presented
some interesting figures to the atten-
tion of the voters at. last night's town
meeting, showing that the town, dur-
ing the last twenty-live Years. or from
1880 to date. has increased in popula
tion 51 per cent. whiledts indebted-
ness has increased 130 per cent.
To substantiate the claim, Mr. Walsh
presented the meeting with a table
of facts which he had compiled. The
subject was brought to a close ab-
ruptly upon the declaration by the
moderator, Attorney J. Holden Hurl-
butt, that his topic was not In the
call for the meeting. and therefore
could not be consistently talked over
at the time. A moment later the meet‘
ing adjourned.
Previous to this time, however. Mr.
Walsh had brought the subject
home to the meeting. After the reg-
ular business had been disposed of. he
said:
.“The town has been running into
debt year after year, and this after-
noon 1 went through the Connecticut
Manual and looked up the increase for
the past twenty-five years. The task
was an interesting and instructive one,
and if you will bear with me for a
minute i,will tell you the result. I
went back to the your 1880. in twouty-
five years the population has increased
51 per ccut. and the debt increased
130 per cent.
Mr, Walsh herewith read from the
table be had prepared. It was very
interesting and it is given below:

From miles around by canoe and by
the trail came braves and squavs with
their pappooses. as well as many pale
faces to the Wigwam of Uncas Tribe.
which began its trading post. lust sleep'.
The trading“ post was wnceiv {for
the purpose of allowing the brav'" 1, to
get. sufficient wampum to build a per-
manent Wigwam where their children
and children's children may gather
and hold council. For this reason all
the strangers who went. to the trading
post carried much wampum in their
hands. and came away with much
goods so that Uncas Tribe will, by the
time the trading post ends, have a
goodly quantity of wanipum which
they will save. The post continues
open for seven sleeps so that all the
members of other tribes may haVc a
chance to visit. it. ‘ ,
The Wigwam has been swept and
garnished for the occasion. and it
gladdons the eye of those who enter it.
Around it are placed booths where the
goods are sold. These are very
handsomely decorated and the effect
is exceedingly pretty. From the cen-
ter of the hell are suspended festoous
of Japanese lanterns. large and small.
and there are also flags and hunting in
profusion. used whcire they will do the
most. good. At the emf of the room
on a raised platform is stationed Lina-
weilcr's orchestra, which renders the
music for“ dancing. On either side
of the orchestra Are booths filled with
handsome articles which are for sale.

William Miller, and Mr. Wright. as

post. 110 said that. while the Indian
was a nomad by nature. the Red Men
of llncas Tribe are anxious to have. a

for that. reason had decided to raise
the necessary wampum. Mr. Wright
