Ford’s Theatre Collapse.
The finding-of the coroner’s jury at
Washington holds Col. Ainsworth, Con-
tractor Dant, Supt. Covert and Epgj-
neer Sasse guilty of criminal negli-
gence in the Ford’s Theatre disaster.
Some one ought to be held responsible,
and this drag-net process was probably
adopted to catch the right man. Yet
at the bottom of it all, and more re-
sponsible than all others, stands the
American Congress which on three dif-
ferent occasions has been notified by.
its own committees that the building
was unsafe, and which truth has been
emphasized by the late apalling catas-
trophe.

Let the Tax be Postponed.
We have never known a greater una-
nimity in any local public matter than
has been expressed in favor of the di-
vision of the recently laid Borough tax.
The tax would have been a severe and
onerous one at any time, but in the
present condition of business, it be-
comes actually, and in many cases, cru-
elly oppressive. Then this heavy Bor-
ough tax is to be immediately followed
in October by our always heavy Town
tax, and if the Borough authorities
Will adopt the GAZETTE’s suggestion of
accepting one-half the tax in July and
the other half in January next, they
will do an act of justice and mercy that
will win the gratitude of all our peo-
ple. The Borough can borrow all the
money it may be forced to procure by»
reason of this favor shown its tax-pay-
ers, at very low rates of interest, and
're-pay these loans when the secOnd
half of the tax is paid next January.
By authorizing the Borough Collector
to accept half the tax, and taking a
signed agreement from the tax-payer
relinquishing all claim for exemption
from levy, in default of final payment,
etc., no legal complications can arise,
and all can be made smooth sailing.
This action would seem to be an ur-
gent and immediate duty— to relieve
the serious anxieties and even distress
of many menaced tax-payers, and we
trust our Borough officials will honor
themselves by adopting such an easy
and practical means of relief to our
people.
We append the following communi-
‘cation from an influential tax-payer
anent the same subject:
EASE UP ON TAXES.
MR. EDITOR :—I was gratified by the
suggestion made in a recent number of.
the GAZETTE to the effect that one-half
of the unprecedentedly large Borough
tax should be remitted for six months
or until January next, when business
may reasonably be expected to bomuch
better than now, and when certainly it
can be no worse than now.
I chanced to be present on Satin day
at a gathering Of Borough tax-payers
and , who pay large amounts. They
were quite hotly discussing the unusual
severity of the present tax, though not
decrying the general principle of pay-
ing for our extraordinary improve-
ments as we go. The hardships of the
unemployed, the stringency in money
matters of such of our citizens as live
on restricted incomes. the difficulties
among merchants of making collec-
tions and the like, were all gone over
and the conclusion was unanimously
reached that some relief not only
should be, but must be shown the tax-
paying portion of our citizens. A
dozen or more schemes of relief were
discussed, but none were decided to be
as feasible, as see of execution and as
effective, as the AZETTE’s proposition
to divide the tax and give a six months’
grace _on the payment of the last half.
That just hits the nail square on the
head. It relieves the tax payer of a
present pressure and at the end gets
the Borough out of its heavy Main
street improvement debt. B all means
let this be done and please r. Editor,
do not let up' on the important matter
until the almost universal public do-
sire to have it done is recognized and
acted upon by our Borough Court of
Burgesses. TAx PAYER.

A Conservator Appointed.
A hearing in reference to the appoint-

Bates and her son William Bates of
Rowayton. was held in the Probate
Court, before Judge Woodward, Mon-
day afternoon. Several witnesses were
examined and a shocking state of affairs
was shown to ex1st. Indeed, they are
too revolting for publication. Both
mother and son are evidently of un-
sound mind, the latter being little less
than a beast in human form. Some
years ago the woman’s husband'died
leaving“ a property valued at perhaps .
$1,000 and some money in the bank.
The administrator is a Darien man and
he has provided food, .etc., for the fam-
ily. Frequent complaint has been made
of the-actions of the son, who has sev-
eral times frightened Women in thatvi-
'cin’ity. On hearing the testimony Judge
Woodward appomted William T. Ray-
mond conservator. ’ 1
Both the woman and her son will be
sent to the asylum for the insane, an
an order will probably be issued by the
Court for the sale of the property, the
money to be used in defraying the ex—

ent Covert and Engineer Sasse responsible
for the deaths of the victims by reason of .

ence of the work of repair and alteratiOn

There was an oppressive silence for a. mo?
ment, and then the voice of Lieutenant

Coroner Pattersdn decided not to issue
warrants for the commitment of i’Ains-'
worth, Dant, Covert and Sasse until,to-
day, in grder to give them an opportunity

woman. She is also a widow and has
five children. She belongs in Stratford
and her living is in part provided for by
the Selectmen of that town. Caroline
is employed at the Children’s home,

ence of liquor on Sunday, and as is al-
leged assaulted a colored man named
Webb. For this she was arrested Mon-
day afternoon,by Deputy-sheriff Toner
on complaint of Attorney Gray, and
placed in the station-house over night,
her five children, the youngest about
four years of age, being provided for
by a woman living on Knight street.

GERMlN ' COMBlNllIOR
lBITTBRNESS AGAINST RICHTER.
_. Government Parties Will .Votefor Social-
ists Rather Than See the Radical Leader
Chosen—Big Gains of , the Socialists in
the German Capital. E
BERLIN, June 20. —- Eugene Richter,
leader of the opposition Radicals, has
agreed with August Bebel and Wilhelm '
Liebknecht, leaders of the Social ~ Demo:
crats, to deliver to the Social Democrats in
. the second ballots all the Radical, votes
' that he can control in constituencies where
the contests will be between Social Demo-
crats and candidates favoring the army
bill. In return Liebknecht and Babel will
order the Social Democratic voters to sup-
, port Richterists in constituencies where
the latter contest‘ seats with representa-
tives of the government parties.
The bitterness felt by the government
parties toward Richter is excessive. In
Hagen, which Richter represented in the
last reichstag, and which the recount gives
him the right to contest with Herr Breil,
Social Democrat, the National Liberals
say that they will vote with the Socialists
so as to throw Richter out. Breil received
6,658 votes on the-first ballot and Richter
9,361. As the National Liberals control
4,000 or perhaps 4,500 votes in Hagen it is
in their power to oust Richter.
From the two districts in Berlin where
elections were secured the official r turns
are: Fourth division—Paul Singer, ocial
Democrat, 46,356; Eugene Richter, 9,768.
Compared with the ballot in 1890 these
figures show a Social Democratic gain of
5,647, and a. Radical loss of 4,499. Sixth
.division—VVilhelm Liebknecht, Social
Democrat, 51,569; Dr. Schwindt, Conserva-
tive, 15,338. A Social Democratic gain of
9,295, and a. Conservative gain of 4,502.
The total Social Democratic gains in the
six Berlin districts were 28,007. In five
districts the Radicals lost 13,241.
Charge Against a Military Officer.
HARRISBURG, June 20.——Attorney Gen-
eral Hensel has brought suit against Cap-
tain John D. Badger, late of Company F.
Third regiment, N. G. of 13s., to recover
$500 state appropriation made to the com-
pany in 1890. It is charged that Captain
Badger appropriated the money and re-
fused to account for it.

PITTSBURG, June 20.—-An explosion “of
