The Tax Divide.
At the meeting to-night of the Court
Of Burgesses, the question of dividing
. the, heavy tax due and payable on the
' 15th inst. is to be considered. It is by
no means certain that the court will see
their way clear to grant the almost uni-
versal desire to have the tax divided.
If they do not the people ,are still
“boss” and a borough meeting can be
called and the old tax be abrogated and
a new one of anyidiminished amount de
sired by the people may be relaid. It
is to be hoped, however, that some
clear, legal way may be discerned by
the court tO-night, by which this tax,
heavier than any our tax payers have
M ’ ever before been called on to pay, may
be eased up.

Another Soldiers’ Monument.
TO-morrow, July fourth, the citizen’s
of New Hartford are to honor them-.
— selves and their dead patriots who thir-
thy years ago, went down in battle
fighting for the preservation of the
American Union,by the dedication of a
soldiers’ monument. Captain Henry R.
Jones will make the address of welcome
at 2 p. in. before the monument is un-
veiled and after that ceremony the ora-
tion of the day will be given by Colonel
Augustus H. Fenn. Short addresses
will be made by G0vernor Morris, De-
partment Commander Wilbur F. Rog-
ers, Department President Mrs. Ham-
mond and others. It is not to the credit
of Norwalk. that to this date no suit-
able public monument records the no-
ble deeds of her many heroic sons who
yielded up their lives that the Nation
might live.
Ex-Secretary Foster’s Views.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury, Chas.
Foster, in an interview on Saturday on
the financial situation and call for an
extra session, is reported to have said,
among other things, that “there were
three things which the Democrats, now ‘
in control of both branches of Congress
could do, (but which in his opinion
. they would not do,) by which they
could end the present business de-
pression inside of thirty days: First,
repeal the Sherman law; second, liber-
alize the National bank issue to the
value of their Government bonds;
third, at the first day of Congress pass
a resolution not to interfere with the
tarifi“. The tariff has more, to do with
this business depression than anything
else. The ’industries of the country
are in doubt as to the effect a change
in the tariff would have upon their
business.”
New York and the World's Fair.
The people of New York thought the
Columbians World’ Fair ought to have
been held there, and a great many
others thought so with them. When it
was decided otherwise the New York-
ers were disposed to treat the efforts
of Chicago with indifference. But
they are getting over it now, and the,
New Yorkers who have been in Chicago
are as enthusiastic as anybody else in
their appreciation of the great exhibi-
tion.
Ex-Mayor Hewitt, who is a man of.
unusual experience, declares that the
exhibition at Chicago has been "pro-
jected on a larger scale and has been
carried out with greater liberality,
thoroughness and artisticalness. than
any exhibition the world has ever seen.”
Chicago,-. he says, has achieved what
would not have been possible to any
other community, and "had the exhibi-
tion been given in New York it would
not have been planned upon a scale so
vast nor elaborated with such energy
and completeness.” ’
No one can question the truth of this,
but the acknowledgment has the more
, significance in coming from this source.
' Will Take Out Fruit Stain.
Whiskey, it is said, will take out ev-
ery kind of fruit stain. A child’s dress
will look entirely'ruined by the dark
berry stains on ‘it, but if whiskey is
poured on the discolored places before
sending it into the wash_ it will come
, out as good as new. Whiskey will also
remove all traces of greenback or silver
stain from'any free user’s clothes.

MilSKED HIGHWAYMEN.
___._———
A South Norwalk Man
Held Up. \
Struck in the Head with a'Ciub.
Between ten and eleven o’clock Sat-
urday night, Everett E. Wheeler, ‘an
old man who keeps a small fruit and
candy store on Washington street,
South Norwalk, locked up his place of
business and started for his home in‘
Springwood. In order to make a short
cut to his house Mr. Wheeler has been'
in the habit of going through the
Snowden woods. As he entered on the
path leading through these woods Sat-
urday night he saw two 'men ahead of
him in the darkness. Just as he arriv-
ed opposite to where they were stand-
ing one of them dealt him‘ a terrible blow
on the side of the head with a club.
The force of the blow failing to knock
Mr. Wheeler down, the highwayman
struck him two others; on the back
knocking him to the ground. One of
the men then jumped upon him and.
grabbed him by the throat while his
accomplice went through Mr. Wheeler’s
pockets. They succeeded in securing
apocket book containing a number of
receipts and a bag with $13 in silver,
which they carried away with them.
Mr. Wheeler had between $30 and $40
in bills with him, but before entering
the woods he took the roll out of his
pocket and carried it inhis hand, and
when struck with the club dropped it
upon the ground where it "was found
Sunday morning by a young girl and
returned to Mr. Wheeler, who gave her
$5 for her honesty.
The police were notified soon after
the occurance Saturday night and made
a diligent search for the highwaymen,
but as they both wore black masks on
their faces Mr. Wheeler ‘gwas unable to
give a description of them, other than
that one was tall and the other short.
This is the second time Mr. Wheeler
has been robbed while returning home,
and it is the opinion that his assailants
are acquainted with hisroute. home
and habit Of carrying his money in his
pockets. ' ‘
While not severely injured, Mr.
Wheeler who is well along in years,
was considerably shocked by the oc-
curence and carries a large cut on the
side of his head where the club struck
him. ~

For
been heard from the Murphys’ living at

Not even George Henry Waterbury
who was under like restraint has said
but that everything in his neighborhood
was as peaceful as a hay-rake in the

Evidently all this has changed. The
calm was broken on Saturday afternoon,
when Mr. William Murphy went out
with his scythe to mow some grass from
a plot Of round which Mrs. Bridget
Elizabeth rown claims she has leased
from the N orwalk Savings society.
William mowed and as fast as the grass
fell it is alleged Bridget gathered it up
for the use of her own cow. This was
more than William could bear and Mrs.
Brown claims that he struck her “wid
his two fists.” She swore out a
complaint and William was arrested
this morning by ConstablezMoreh ouse.
He was taken before Justice Austin
who adjourned the case until next Wed—
nesday, Murphy furnishing bonds
in the sum of fifty dollars {for his ap-
pearance at that time.
As soon as released Mr. Murphy went
to South Norwalk to consult his attorn-
ey, and will swear out a. warrant
against Mrs. Brown, charging an as-
sault, and he will try to prove that she
was the aggressor and not himself, as
he say “she struck me between the two
eyes, and I with a scythe in me hand.”

F. J.'Gi°ubb Found Dead in 8. Pass-
enger Car at Danbury.
Formerly Lived in South Norwalk.
Between 5 and 6 o’clock Sunday af-
ternoon, the body of F. J. Grubb, was
found in a passenger ”car in the car
sheds at Danbury, of the Consolidated
road. By his side was a package of
Paris green, part of the contents of
which had been used. Near by was a
note addressed as follows :
.“Dear daughters Amy and Adaz—M l t
thoughts were of ’you. Had your mola’hesrs’s
Wicked temper been kept more under control
things might have been very different. G d
bye and God bless you all." 00
The body when found was hardly
cold. Grubb kept the saloon at 31
Fairfield avenue beneath the Opera
House cafe in Bridgeport. He had
been acting queerly recently, had been
drinking and .1118 business did not pay.
He was a native of England, about 45
years of_a e, and came to this country
about eig t years ago. He has been
employed by the Metropolitan Insur-
ance Co. as superintendent and lived
for a time on Washington street, South
Norwalk.
Mrs. Mary _S. Grubb, his wife, was
seen last evening just after the news
had been broken to her. Her eyes
were red with weepin . She said : “It
1:} true I reproache my husband’at
times, but only when he had been
drinking: 7 He drank brandy and whis-.
key and it made him crazy. I think it
was a cowardly thing for him to do this
and leave his two children.”
“ Monday,” she continued, “ my hus-
band went tO South Norwalk and then
to New York. I took care of the sa-
loon for him. He returned Wednes-
day and took care of it himself. Wed-
nesday night he_went to bed as usual.
Thursday morning he got up at 5
o’clock while I was asleep and I have
never seen him since.” -
She stated that he had 840 Monday
and said: “My husband had an in-
surance of $100 on his life. It made
him angry when I asked him to in-
crease 1t. He did not believe in'insur-
ance and he would not join any secret
societies.” ’
Mrs. Grubb occupies several nicely
furnished rooms at the number men-
tioned. She is left without much mon-
ey. She expressed some solicitude for
fear that the body would be brOu ht to
the house where the children con (1 see
it. She will have it taken charge of by
the undertakers. One of the little

EARLY Mgmnn FIRE.
The Department Called to Hallock
Brothers’ Box Factory.
A Large insurance Carried by the
Firm.
to two Sunday Morning James Skidd,
the watchman at the Lockwood Mfg.
Co.’s factory at South Norwalk, dis-
covered flames issuing from the paper
and hat box factory of Hallock Bros.
on the corner of Day and Raymond
streets. He immediatelypulled box 4
and the fire department responded
promptly. When the firemen arrived
the flames were shooting out of all the
Windows on the second floor, and the
roof was also blazing. Four streams
of .water were soon playing upon the
building and after a long fight the fire
was extinguished. The roof was burned
off and the stock mostly destroyed and
the machines on the ground floor bad-
ly damaged by water._
This .18 the second fire that has oc-
curred in this building since the Hal-
locks have leased it, and it is said that
the. firm'has also had two fires at
their factory in Danbury.
The building is owned by Mr. E. A.
Woodward, who had an insurance of
$2,000 with C. B. Coolidge. Hallock
Bros. had $5,100 insurance on their
stock and machines, $1,900 with Taylor
& Golden and $3,200 with O. E. Barker.
When seen Sunday evening fire mar-
shal Trowbridge said that the fire evi-
dently started in the elevator among a
p116 of packing boxes which were stored
there, and the top of the pile reaching
up the elevator into the second story.
As to what his theory was in the mat-
ter .Mr. Trowbridge refused to say,
stating that whatever he had to_ say
would be given to the insurance adjust-
ers, who are expected to arrive to-day
and adjust the loss.
The fire alarm again worked badly
only striking the right box two rounds,
then starting off on a go-as-you-please
racket greatly confusing to the firemen.
ANOTHER FIRE THIS MORNING.
The fire department was called out
again about 7 o’clock this morning to
subdue a blaze at the'house, NO 32
Chestnut street, South Norwalk, owned
by D. P. Ely, and occupied by Peter
Barry. The fire proved to be mostly
in the celler of the house, and was
oline, from which a stove was being
filled. The flames were extinguished
in short order after the department got
to work, and. the damage was mostly
caused by water.

raced from Execution light to Middle-
ground light a distance of 45 miles. The
course was to the southward, the route
used by the Puritan. ' The Peck was
the first at the. starting point. The Pu-
ritan came along later and they started
together. The Peck reached the termi-
nus nearly a mile fihead of the Puritan.
The Puritan ran eight boilers and the
Peck six. The Puritan’s paddlewheels
made 24 revolutions a minute and the
Peck’s screw 130. Last week the own,-
ers of theLPeck challenged the Puritan
people for a race to settle which was
'the faster. It was accepted, and the
New Haven people claim now that the
matter is settled for all time, and they
are monarchs of the sound.

ADMIRAL MARKHAM'S REPORT. .
[t Proves Admiral Tryon’s Responsibility _
for the Victoria Disaster.
LONDON, July 3.—A midshipman from
the Victoria arrived at Calais yesterday
with Rear Admiral Markham’s dispatches
concerning the collision off Tripoli. He
was brought by special steamer, the Maid
3f Kent, to Dover, and was conveyed
thence by special train to London. He
lrove directly to the admiralty office,
where the admiralty board, notified in ad-
vance of his coming, received and read the
dispatches at once. The board decided to
publish them in full forthwith. ,
The report details at length the move-
ments of the vessels on the ill fated day.
and verifies. the statements published on
Saturday that the collision was the result
of Admiral Tryon’s error in attempting a
strategic movement in too limited space.
although his attention had been ‘called to
the fact that the distance between the ves-
sels was not great enough. The statement
that the Camperdown was ordered by the
commanding officer not to send boats to .
the relief Of the Victoria after he (Mark-
ham) had so ordered is also' corroborated.
Admiral Markham, however, contents
himself with a simple recital of facts, and
has only this to say of Admiral Tryon:
“I cannot express the deep grief and sor-
row felt in consequence of this lamentable
catastrophe by myself, the captains, the
officers and the men of the Mediterranean
squadron—sorrow that is very materially
enhanced by the great and irreparable loss
which the navy and the nation have sue.
tained in the death of our beloved com-
mander, Sir George Tryon, whose kindness
of heart, no less than his signal " ability in
the profession of which he was such a dis-
tinguished ornament, had endeared him
to all who served in his command.”
The report of Admiral Markham is cor-
roborated by Captain Bourke and these
ofl‘icers of the Victoria: Staff Commander
Smith, Lieutenant Heath and Flag Lieu-
tenant Lord Gillford. '
