Lizzie Borden Not Guilty.
In accord with general expecta-
tion, the jury, yesterday, declared Liz-
zie Borden not guilty of the terrible
charge of murdering her father and
step-mother, and she Walks forth a
freed and legally vindicated woman.
The verdict comes from a fair con-
sideration Of the facts presented at the
trial. i'l‘he efforts of counsel did not
becloud, bewilder or mislead the minds
of the jurors, and the charge of the
judge showeda distinct leaning to-
ward the accused. It is suggested that
Governor Robinson showed this pro-
found knowledge of the typical New
England jury he had'to deal with, when
he refrained from bringing to bear any
of the forensic ability he is credited
with possessing.
The public will very. generally ap-
prove the verdict, as it has been evi-
dent since the moment the prosecution
rested that the people had made up
their minds that no case had been made'
out against the accused.
As the case stood in court no fatal
weapon had been found, no direct evi-
dence connected the woman at all with
the deed, it was monstrous to assume
that a Christian woman could do such
a fiendish thing, the police had made
her a victim for want of any other easy
at hand, and that following the theory
of Lizzie Borden’s guilt the‘authorities
let slip every trace of the real murder-
er, but she was innocent and the jury
found her not' guilty. The most im-
pressive effort made to prove “exclusive
opportunity” went only far enough to
show that the servant shared that Op-
portunity, and that it was open to any
shrewd, adroit person who might have
slipped in from the street while Miss
Borden was in the barn and the servant
was engaged in household tasks. To
imagine that Miss Borden could have
slain her step-mother and then disposed
of her stained clothing and taken a
bath—for nothing less would have re-
moved the_ evidence of her guilt—in
time to meet her father returning from
business, exchange cheerful remarks
with him and assist him to lie down,
then kill him and go through another,
even more requiring process of cleans-
ing, and destroy another dress in the
brief period that elapsed from the mo-
ment that he was butchered to the time
that she gave notice of it, is incredible.
And there remains the mystery—and
there it bids fair to remain—like other
and even greater mysteries which have
puzzled the wits of men in similar cases
and still remain unsolved.

Divide the Tax.
To DAILY GAZETTE :—In the edition
Of the 20th inst. appears a suggestion
to divide the present Borough tax, the
last half to be collected six months
hence; to give the bonds of the Bor-
ough and pay interest thereon, conse-
quently increasing the final amount to
be paid. The question presents itself :
Is it the highest type of wisdom to
throw the proposed last payment for-
ward into the time rightfully belonging
to the assessment and collection of the
regular new tax next in order ? If so,
how are the tax-payers relieved, and
with the intervening regular town-tax
to be collected ? Is it not getting them
packed_in pretty closely, or does the
suggestion mean that the postponed
ba ance to pay take the place Of the
next regular tax. Will the advocates
make it plain to your readers ?
C. P. TUBNEY.
June 21st, 1893.
The proposition to divide the Borough
tax ought to be clear to any man of Mr.
Turney’s keen business perceptions.
Were he building a house for a custom-
er, and owing to any unexpected strin-
gency in the-money market his custom-
er could not pay him but one thousand
dollars instead of the two thousand
stipulated, would it not be wiser, and
would he not be the first man to accept
a half-payment rather than oppress his
customer, when he knew said customer
to be sure to pay the full amount after
the lapse of a little time ? Burgess
Glover made a most sensible business
man’s suggestion when payment for the
Main street improvements were under
conSideration. He proposed that if the
"work was to cost a total of $15,000, that
the Borough borrow the full amount
for a limit of three years, and provide
for the payment of five thousand dol-
lars each year out of the tax levy. Had
this been done, our tax-payers would
' have been caught in no such pinch and
panic as they now are in, but no atten-
tion was paid to Mr. Glover’s Wise and
prudent plan ; a tax was laid suflicient
to pay the Whole cost, and at a time
when there was no unusual stringency i
- in money and‘business. Now these or-
dinary conditions‘are changed. A sud-
den stringency in the money market
came upon us; a long an unusual stOp-
page of work has resulted; mechanics
_ and day laborers find it exceedingly
hard to support their families and keep
the wolf from the door. It is difficult
for our merchants to keep up their or-
dinary collections, so that there are not
probably a dozen tax-payers in the en-
tire Borough who are not seriously in-
convenienced by this extraordinarily
large tax. Taxes have just been c'ol-
lected for the two School districts, our
Town tax is due in October, the times
are just now exceptionally hard for the
raising of money, .and it will make a
very considerable .difference to most of
our tax payers whether the whole or only
a half has to be paid now. As for the
future taxes, to which Mr. Turney al-
'most pathetiea‘lly alludes as sure to
come and dOuble up on .us, the shortest
answer. is, “sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof.” The present condi-
tions oughtto teach us stricter economy
in municipal expenditures and a lessen-
ing of taxes in the future. Nor is it
at all likely that business" conditions
later on can be as near total paralysis
as at present. SO that, from every ra-
tional point of view, the GAZETTE
deems it wise and merciful to divide
the present unusually heavyiBorough
tax. It will be far easier for all to pay
$10 now than $20, and $250 now than
$500, so that poor and rich are alike af-
fected and interested.

up the street in a carriage hitehed to
the well-known horse “Waltbn Boy.”
The horse became frightened and ran
away. When in iron _"“Of Crofut &

lided with a surry attached to a horse
belonging to liveryman Horace Dann,
Both turnouts:.i‘were overturned, and
the occupantss‘thrown out. Mr. Lock-
wood rece’kv‘ed a severe contusion on
his head 6. young Nagle sustained a
serious Ygench to his right ankle.
“ W on Boy ” continued on at a
mad ce until reaching the Congrega-

thgf'vacant lot in the rear of Nash’s
stem and carrying a section of the
time with him, felldown on the ground
S.iwith a broken legi‘. ~
Young Nagletzipluckily righted his
turnout and getting into the surry
drove to the stables where he reported
the accident to .Mr. Dann, who sent
him homeiii a carriage and summoned
Dr. Lockwood, who pronounced the
young man’s injuries to be of a serious
nature.
Mr. Dann’s surry as well as his horse
were considerably injured. Mr. Lock-
wood’s carriage was wrecked, and it is
thought that he will also suffer the loss

glnal measure would not. The bill cre-
atingthe office of prosecuting attorney
1n Bridgeport was favorably reported.
The bill that all expense above $200
of repairing bridges having 5 spans was
rejected. The same fate met the bill
prov1ding that where a highway extend:
ed_ continuously, through three towns it
might on application of six taxpayers
in each_tow_n be made a county highway
and maintained by the county. .
The bill incorporating the Sterling
Widows’ Home, Of Bridgeport, was un-
favorably reported. Judd, of Strat-
ford,_and Spencer of Saybrook, were
appomted a committee to look up the
document conveying the Governor’s
nomination of Milton S. Shumway as
Superior Court judge. The document
has disappeared.
The Senate passed the Constitutional
Convention bill by a tie vote, broken
by the deciding ballot of the Lieut.-
Governor in the affirmative. Those
who voted for the passage ofthe bill
were Cleveland, Pierce, Root, Holden,
Fox, Crandall, Houlihan, Ensign and
Robertson ; nay—Senators Holcomb,
Jones, Ferris, Milner, Brooker, Chap-
man, Perkins, Gross and Matthewson.
Messrs. Hall and Coffee, and Gardner
and Phelps were paired, and the ab-
sence of U. S. Treasurer Morgan was
compensated for by the absence of
Keeney (Rep)
The speakers in favor of the bill
were Senators Fox, Holden, Pierce and
Root. Senator Holcomb (Rep) was
the only one who spoke in opposition.
He used the time worn argument that
the bill for a eOnstitutional convention
is in itself unconstitutional; if any
changes are needed in the existing con-
stitution they should be made by
amendment, as provided in that instru-
ment.
g ;Under a,,s_uspension .Of the rules the
bill was at once transmitted to the
House. .
When the announcement was made
by the clerk of the Senate, of the re-
ceipt of the report of the Democratic
.members of the State Prison Investi-
gating committee, Jones, the chairman
pf the committee, made an indignant
protest. He said he was surprised to
hear the report; he did not expect it,
and thought that he and his colleagues
had‘ been treated with discourtesy by
the Democratic members of the com-
mittee.
Mr. Cleveland concurred, and scored
Senator Root, one of the reporting
members, severely. He said such a
thing as the rendition of a report With-
out refcrenee to the chairman of the
committee, was unprecedented in the
history of legislation, and in parliamen-
tary rules, and showed much disrespect
to the chairman. He said the Senate
could not act either fairly or intelli-
gently without hearing both reports, if
two reports 'were to be rendered. He
moved that the report be tabled, until
the other report should be presented,
and the Senate so voted.
WThe Senate has confirmed the ap-
pOIntment of Representative Charles
'Marlor of Brooklyn as School Fund
commissioner.
Runaway on West Avenue.
Tuesday evening, a colored man in
the employ of Mrs. E. Hill, of South
Norwalk, drove to the Borough and to
Knight street, where leaving the horse
unhitched, he went into a house on that
street. During the driver’s brief ab-
sence the horse became frightened and
ran into Wall street, scraping a horse
car with the carriage. He continued
on down the street until, when in front
of Silas Gregory’s residence on West
avenue, he collided with a horse and
carriage in which were seated Mr. and
Mrs; Platt Price. The force of the col-
overturned the Price carriage. Assist-
ance quickly arrived at the scene, and
Mr. and Mrs. Price were placed in a
coach and taken home. Both escaped
serious injury, although Mr. Price’s
back was quite severely hurt. Neither
of the horses showed a dispositionto
runafter the collision. The Price car-
riage was considerably damaged, and
the injury to the Hill carriage was con:
fined to a broken shaft. The Price
horse was led home. In the meantime
the driver of the Hill horse arrived,
and hitching the animal to the carriage,
started to drive off, but the horse made
a dash across the street, and the driver
was‘ unable to control him. He was
then unhitched and led home,
