cates made their last stand at wealth

tax rates. Another plan was, that of
Senator Hollis to increase the. levy

NIANTIC, Sept. 7.—-Suspicion that

much excitement among -.thc troops.
Lightshave been flashed mysterious-
ly for the last three weeks on the
banks of the Niantlc River ,opposite
the Camp. The flashes have been ans-
wered at all times by the flashing of
a lantern froma tower'in Pine GNAIG
which is next to the camp site. That
the ofi‘icers in camp take the flashing
of lights seriously is shown by the.
fact that Coinpany A. First Connecti-

Opposition to the draft law, burn-
