Senate Passes the Bridge Bill.
The Hudson River bridge bill was
promply passed by the Senate yester.
day. It must now go to the House for
concurrence in the Senate’s amend-
ments. The projectors have given the
most positive assurance that as soon as
the required Congressional authority is
obtained they will begin work at once
and push it with vigor. The pending
bill requires them to do this or forfeit
their right. There is therefore every
reason to believe that this great public
improvement will soon become a reality.

A Meeting Between Flyers-
Mascot, the pacing wonder, whose
record of 2:04 heads the list, has been
matched for a race against Directum,
the trotting star of the year, and the
two flyers are to meet at Fleetwood
Park to-morrow November 2. So far as
race records go Directum, with 2:05 L4
to his credit, is the king, and the moot»
ed question as to the relative speed of
the trotter and pacer may be decided
when they meet. Mascot is by Deceive,
a sen of Rysdyk’s Hambletonian, and
Directum is by Director,a grandson
of Rysdyk’s Hambletonian. With a
good day and track, the race should be
the fastest on record. _
Rumors of a match between Directum
and Alix, by Patronage, are current,
and there is good reason to hope that
they may try conclusions over 'ihe
Fleetwood track. Alix has a race rec-
ord of 2:07 3-4, and is second only to
Directum in this respect.
A'Que'stion of Taxation.
The Chicago Tribune, alluding to
the I opposition which any proposiad in-
crease in the tobacco tax is sure to en-
counter in' the South, suggests that
“the Southern Democrats would rather
have an income tax levied on the North,
with those inquisitorial features which
the J effersonian Democrats‘used to de-
nounce so bitterly, than have any tax
levied on the tobacco leaf because
grown in Virginia, Kentucky, and Mis-
souri.”
The theory of the income tax is that
every citizen shall bearthe burden ac-
cording to his means, without regard
to his occupation or locality. It would
be felt in the greater proportion, of
course, by the men of wealth, wherever
they are. It is true that persons of
the North than elsewhere, but there
are very many of them in the West, in
the Northwest, and on the Pacific
slope. Their number, it is gratifying
to note, is constantly increasing at the
South,
A tobacco tax, on the contrary, bears
most heavily upon certain states or sec-
tions, and even if we grant that this
tax is paid by the consumer, it might
be made so onerous as to curtail con-
sumption and prove detrimental to the
tobacco interest. Such legislation
would clearly be class legislation;
whereas an income tax is intended more
than any other to reach the not taxable
earnings of the country. It is theoret-
ically just and impartial. The difficul-
iy in its way is the utter impracticabil-
ity of its just and impartial enforce-
ment. ‘
That the South is in favor of an
income tax, however, is unquestion-
ably true. But it is as true, that demo-
crats of the north east and west, would
oppose such a tax as strenuously as
republicans. That great shining light
of democracy, the New York Sun,
utters the following vigorous protest
against it. It says:
“Once only in the history of the
United States has the Federal Govern-
ment found it necessaryto impose and
attempt to collect an income tax.
That was under the stress of civil
war. The tax was forced by the enor-
mous expenditures of a Government
engaged in military and naval opera-
tions on a gigantic scale. The income
tax was a war measure, a last resort, a
revenue expedient obnoxious in itself
but justified by the necessity that knows
no choice. '
A Democratic Administration has
now been in power for a little more
than six months; six months of pro-
found peace.
Has Democratic rule for six months
brought the country to a condition
equivalent to that resulting from the
stress of war, with half the country
Has Democratic rule firoved such a
mistertune. that resort is necessary for
the second tim‘ejn our national experi-
expedient and last effort of the taxing
power ? .
Will the Democratic Administration,
or’any Democrat in Congress, confess
that such is the case ?
If yes, would it not be better to
resort first to a revenue tarifi‘, as pro.
vided by the Chicago platform? Or in
case that would not suffice, why not
impose a direct tax upon. the several
states in accordance with Article 1.,
section 2, and clause 8 of the Constitu-
tion ? »
Anything is better than a war tax in
a time of profound peace.”

A Genuine “ Helping Hand.”
Mr. A. R. Loom, manager of the W.
B. Hall Company, of Bridgeport, has
issued the following timely and gener-
ous card to the needy of that city. He
says:
“There are many worthy families in
Bridgeport who are too proud to ask as-
sistance from public charity, and who
yet must sufi'er from cold and hunger
this coming winter because of the hard
times. To such I am anxious to give a
' helping hand and therefore shall dis-
tribute among such worthy people, 100
tons of coal and 25,000 loaves of_ bread.
on and after Nov. 15. All applications
must be made by letter to me, and they
will be treated in the strictest confi-
dence. No names will be mentioned,
no publicity given. Being a private
gift, no reports to any committee will
be necessary. Only the one I send to
call and find out the merits of each case
will know anything about it. No one
helped by the public charities or any
other charity, will be entitled to call
on me. I do this: First, because it is
the duty of the strong to help the
weak; and secondly, because I‘ think it
is good business to make friends in
such times as these. '
N. B.—I will thank any patron or
friend who will give me the name of
worthy needy families.”
This is practical charity, most hu-
manely and considerately tendered, to
a class who would rather suffer than
ask for public aid. The GAZETTE trusts
the generous donor may himself find a
realization of Portia’s appeal:
“The quality of mercv is not strain‘d,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him who gives and him who takes."

About forty persons were present.
Dancing was indulged in to the music
of Mr. McGowan’s orchestra. A feast
consisting of turkey, chicken, all kinds
of salads, baked beans and pastry that
was a “symphony in the art cuisine.”
“Jane is not only a first-class cook but

An Old Timer.
In the police court at Bridgeport, on
Tuesday, says the Post: “Owen Rice an
old timer was charged with drunkeness,
breach of peace, resistance and using
abusive language to Ofiicei Finnegan.
Owen met a man named Fred Banks
from Norwalk. Banks had money and
Rice didn’t. The officer was suspicious
of Owen’s actions and he ordered him
to go home. Owen started to comply
but when the officer went away he found
Banks again and was working him for
all he was worth. Banks complained to
the police and Owen was captured. It
took three officers to bring him in. He
was fined $1 and costs and on his ap-
peal, bonds were fixed at 3575.
Railroad Suit.
Peter Ryan of Derby, a brakeman
formerly in the employ of the Consoli-
dated road, has brought suit to re-
cover damages amounting to $15,000
for the loss of an arm.
The plaintiff was in the employ of the
road in March of thisyear, on the Dan—
bury 8: Norwalk branch. While riding
on a car he was knocked 011' and fell
under the wheels, his right arm being
out o . ,
The plaintiff alleges that the accident
was due to negligence on the part of
the road in maintaining a fence at a
certain point so that in the discharge of
his duties he was knocked off by this
fence and received serious injuries.
The papers were served Tuesday by
Sheriff Hamilton on W. D. Bishop, jr.,
secretary of the road.
Set a Good Example.
Capt. Waters of the yacht Nellie and
Electrician Riley created quite a sensa-

tinker’s kit and fire-pot and the other
with a bundle of old umbrella handles

trician was crying out with a voice like
a foghorn, "B-o-i-l-e-r-s-t-e-a-k-e-t-

the manner of aprofessional was sweet-
ly warbling, “U-m-b-r-e-l-l-a-s-t-o-
m-e-n-d.” They secured the promise
of one umbrella to repair, but while
the owner went to the hotel after it,
the “professionals” scooted into Suth-
erland’s cigar store and pawned their
kit for two clay pipes, a paper of shorts
and a ten cent plug of chewmg tobacco.

Il-NEW LINE; '
The New York and New England
Claim an Entrance Into
New YO'l‘k City.
Contracts For the Terminal Station
Nearlycompleted.
At a meeting of the New York and
New England directors held at Boston
yesterday, President McLeod made the
formal announcement that he had af-
fected an entrance into New York City.
This is by means of the New York,
New England and Northern Railroad,
a charter for which was recently grant-
ed after a hard fight at Albany.
. The board promptly authorized Pres-
ident McLeod to execute a contract be-
tween the New York, New England
and the New York, New England and
Northern, and a contract between the
New York, New England and Northern
with the Manhattan Railroad Company.
Other essentials for the New York con-
nection were also authorized.
The connection of' the New York,
New England and Northern and the
Manhattan will be just above the New
York, N engaven and Hartford termi-
nals, near Third avenue and 149th street.
The Third aVenue elevated, it is under-
stood, is to connect with the new line
in a union station at that point. The
freight terminals will be just eastward
at Port Morris and Hunt’s Point.
The Ryan & McDonald Construction
Company will build the new road and
turn it over, when completed, to the
stockholders of the New York, New
England and Northern Railroad Com-
pany, after which 51 per cent. of the
steak will pass into the treasury of the
New York and New England Company.
The construction company will furnish
all the funds to build and equip the
road.
Contracts for the construction of the
terminal station of the New York, New
England and Northern on the Harlem
river are nearly completed. The New
England people contemplate making
an arrangement with the Manhattan
Railway by which the latter will be
able to run through trains from the
Battery to Brewster’s Station, when
the New England’s extension is com-
pleted. ,
This all sounds- familiar, yet may
prove true. Wall street, however, is
inclined to regard all this talk as blufi‘.
Contracts on paper are all right, says
the Street, but theactual carrying out
of them is a different matter.
Very few people on Wall street seri-
ously think that the New England will
make the attempt toenter New York
that is being . heralded about just now.
They expect to see the whole thingend
in some sort of a traflic arrangement
with the Consolidated road.
It is said that the Boston and Maine
is now planning to secure control of
the Central Vermont property. A
close defensive alliance between the
Boston and Maine and New Haven
roads is also likely. '

“THE KIND i‘HAT CURES.”
Perhaps Fatally Burned,
The Bridgeport Union of this morn-
ing gives the following account of an
accident that occurred to Mrs. Cyrus
Weller, at Bridgeport Tuesday after-
noon. Mrs.Weller is a daughter of the
late Michael Barber,of Harbor avenue,
and her husband is a painter well known
in Norwalk he having worked at his
trade here for a long time:
”Mrs. Cyrus S.Weller of 634 Main street
was probaby fatally burned yesterday
afternoon shortly before 6 o’clock. Dr.
Gilroy is attending her and will not be
able to tell for at least 24 hours whether
she will recover. ~
Mrs. Weller was preparing supper for
her husband, who is a foreman painter
for A. Stirn. As it grew dark she lit a
lamp and accidentally dropped the
match which set fire to a piece of paper.
In stamping out the flames her dress
caught and almost immediately she was
enveloped. in flames. Her screams
brought to her rescue Mrs. Wheeler of
Brooklyn who was visiting friends in
the adjoining apartment. Mrs. Wheeler
wrenchcd a blanket and wrapped the
unfortunate Woman in it. In this way
the flames were extinguished, but not
until Mrs.Weller was frightfully burned
about the body and face.
Dr. Gilroy was called and rendered
all the medical aid within his power. He
found the burns to be deep,particularly
one on the right side. Her face. if she
recovers, will be disfigured. Dr.Gilroy
could give little hope for the woman’s
recovery last night. She is about 30
years old.”

The licenses of New Britain liquor
dealers expired Tuesday night. The
town having voted “no license” the se-
lectmen threatened to seize all liquor
found in the town after midnight and
most of the dealers accordingly turned
their saloons into concert halls. —Or-
chestras and bands were engaged, and
after midnight liquor was given away
by the gallon. Early in the evening
the saloon keepers began to dispense
liquors free, with the result that there
were scores of drunken men on the
streets. The night was one of the wild-
est celebrations of “Halloween” ever
known in that city. There were nu-
merous rows but no serious results are
reported.
A Large Meeting.
. A few .minutes after 4 o’clock Tues-
day afternoon the ninth-annual con-
vention of the Connecticut Christian
Endeavor union was called to order in
the Fourth regiment armory at Bridge-
port. The big hall was crowded with
over 5,000 people.
The addresses of the evening were on
the general subject, “Organized En-
deavor, Our Present Opportunity.”
‘Rev. '1‘. W. Shelton of Birmingham
took for his subject, “In Saving Ameri-
ca.” Rev. E. K. Young, New Britain,
“In Good Citizenship,” Rev. J. H.
James, Rockville, “In Temperance
Work,” Rev. J. S. James, Hartford,
“In Foreign Missionary Work,” and
Rev. W. H. Sherwood, president of
the state organization of New York,
“In Enlarged Endeavor.”
It is expected that to-day will see the
advent of nearly 2,000 more from out
of town. There are at present 1,700
registered, of whom about 550 are from
out of town.

Power of the Imagination.
“I never was more firmly convinced
of the power of imagination,” said a
man, "than I was by something that
happened to me on the occasion of 'a
recent visit to a friend. It had been
an extremely hot day, and when I
went to bed at night the heat seemed
almost insupportable. It seemed to me
that if I should open the door from my
room into the hall it would makes.
little circulation and make the air
more comfortable; and I felt safe in
doing this because I am an early riser,
and I knew I could get the door shut
before anybody was stirring in the
morning. So I Opened the door, with
the pleasant result that I had antici-
pated, and when I went to close it in
the morning I found that Iliad opened,
not the door into the hall, but the door
into acloset.”-——N. Y. Sun. '

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.——A tall slim man
with a pair of dark blue eyes, in which
there wasaxglarc of insanity, entered the
East Thirtysfifth street police station yes-
terday. He approached Sergeant Fagani
Who was at the desk, and said: “How are
you, sergeant?” The sergeant replied: ..
“Well, what do you want?”
“I want $5,000 from you and I am
going to have it. Do you understand? I
mean business.”
. The sergeant at once saw that he had a
crank to deal with and determined to be
wary.
“Well, I am sorry I have not got it,”
said the sergeant. “You never give a fol-
low a chance to get it. If you come a
little later I will have it for you.”
"Was Getting Angry.
The man looked very disappointed and
was getting angry and restless when the
sergeant said: “Wait, I’ll tell you what I’ll-
do. I will send a man up to the bank
with you.” .
The sergeant rang the bell for the man on
hall duty to come down stairs and he was
ordered to call Policeman Rose, who is the
largest man in the squad. Policeman
Rose came down and the sergeant winked
at him and said:
“Bose take this man up to the bank and
get him $5,000. It’s all right.”
The man appeared satisfied and followed
the big policeman immediately. The po-
liceman took his unsuspecting prisoner to
the Yorkville police court.
Suddenly the man on perceiving several
policemen in the building made a break
toward Third avenue. Rose followed, and
overtaking the man, jumped on him.
Fought the Policeman.
A terrific struggle followed between the
men. The policeman’s strength was taxed
to its utmost in trying to drag the man to
the Yorkville police court building and
then up stairs to the court room. There
he was placed in the pris’ouers’ pen.
Policeman Rose then related the facts to
Justice Grady, who ordered him to make
out a case of insanity against the man.
He proceeded to the pen to find out the
prisoners’ name and address, opened the
door cautiously and saw the man sitting
on a bench. He want in and questioned
him. '
Bit the Ufiicer.
Instead of replying the man gave a yell,
jumped upon Rose, and seizing Rose’s
hand between his'teeth,.bit it.
The two men tumbled about the floor
and were fighting when Policemen Burns
and Harrington, of the court squad, rushed
to Rose’s ..ssistance. After some difficulty
Rose managed to free himself, and the
man was again locked in the pen.
The prisoner gave his name as John
Beitholz, a. Swede, 31 years old, of the
Vindsor hotel, at Canal street and the
Bowery. On him were found $8, a razor
and a knife.
WANTED $25,000 IN PENNIES.
