Should Adjourn. As the Council, at their last meeting, failed to appoint a successor to the late Dr. C. 13. Coolidge on the board of Water Commissioners, the City meet- ing it) morrow evening should be ad- journed sine die, as it would be the height of folly to vote an enormous expenditure of money witha vacancy existing in the board of commissioners. The Income Tax. In the District Court at Washington yesterday Judge Hagner rendered a decision against the plaintiff in the suit brought to test the constitutionality of the income tax. Ho overrules all the objections raised and holds that the law is constitutional. This decision settles nothing, but simply advances the case a stage on its Way to the United States Supreme Court. It is the decis10n of that tribu- nal which is wanted to settle the ques- tion. Donnellv on the Tariff. Ignatius Donnelly, the Minnessota Populist. has rather queer ideas about some things but on the question of pro_ tection he hits the nail squarely on the head. He says, that for this country to adopt a free trade policy would be the same as a landlord renting a store to a merchant, on condition that any one else and every one else should have the right to enter the store, spread out th'éiriables and wares, and go to sell- ing their goods, without paying part Of the rent. It would be like selling a man a farm and putting in the deed a cove- nant'that anybody else should have the. right to raise crops on it. It would be like renting a man a house with the condition that strangers should, atany. time, have the right to get into the best bed, dip their fingers into the grub-pot, and crowd the tenant away from the fire. Mr. Donnelly then asks the question: “If a people pay taxes to support a government and turn out to light for it, and have no more rights than the alien across the Atlantic, who does neither, what does citiZenship amount to? ” The Brooklyn Strike. Numerous letters have been written to the New York Tribune asking that journal to give fully and fairly the reasons of the managers of the Brook- lyn trolley companies for refusing to yield to the demands Of their men. The Tribune in reply says, it has treat- ed the trolley companies with entire fairness. It cannot print any defence of them, because the companies have at no time attempted to explain their position or to make any defence. The managers of the trolley companies do not deny, and they cannot deny, that they have used their employees with conspicuous unfairness, injustice and Oppression. No one can honestly dispute these plain truths. The trolley companies in Brooklyn have defied the law and out- raged justice. They have been guilty of serious offences against the statutes, against public sentiment and against common decency. Their managers do not venture even to assert that they have treated their men justly. They do not seek to answer the charges made against them. They openly declare that it is not in the interest of their stockholders to increase the expendi- tures of the companies by yielding to any of the demands of their men. That is their only answer. They make no explanations, apologies or excuses. Their stock has been illegally watered, and watered enormously, and they are trying to earn the interest on prodi- giously watered bonds and dividends on tremendously inflated stock. No city in this Country has ever been cursed with more unscrupulous and Objection- able mismanagement of transportation lines than that of the chief trolley lines in Brooklyn. V ‘ But, continues the Tribune, all the outrages and wrongs committed by the trolley managers do not excuse lawless- ness or disorder in the slightest degree. Every man (-3- Woman in Brooklyn who attempts to bring about a breach of the p' ace, however slight, ought; to be arrested instantly, tried promptly, con- victcduii-zl imprisoned. Every person who tries to incle disorder of any kind ought to lie swiftly and severely pun- ished. But after the supremacy of the law is completely restored in Brooklyn, after the peace and quiet 'of the city- havc been. iii-Ought back, after all riot and outbreak have-been rigorously suppressed, then there ought to bee stern reckoning with the managers, officers and directors of the trolley companies of Brooklyn. Big Consolidated Purchase. The New York New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad company have completed negotiations for the purchase of about 46 acres of land near Leggett’s Pomt. - Thegnew purchase is located about: a‘ milenorth of the company’s Harlem, River freight yard and adjoms a farm of some 44. acres which the company. has had 1n its posession for several months. . The purchase is considered to be one of the most important made by the company in recent years and was made at a cost Of nearly $800,000. The land was purchased in two or more parcels and is to be used to extend the com- 4 pany’s freight facilities. A large part of the 80 acres are to be transformed into a great freight yard, where cars may be stored and trainamade up. The land has a water front of 2,000 feet. This frontage is on the sound and is very valuable. ' A part of the land purchased the New York and New England road held an option on for several months and were anxious, it is said, to buy, but as they were unable to close their bargain it went to the New York, New Haven & Hartford road. It is expected that the work of transforming the_1and into a freight yard will be started in a short time. For Commissioners. , Henry Lee of Bridgeport, and James Miller, were nominated for County Commissioners, Wednesday, by a caucus of the Republican Senators and Repre- sentatives from Fairfield county. Im~ mediately after the caucus was called to order Representative Judson an-‘ nounced that John M. Hawley had withdrawn from the contest for the nomination. The withdrawal was made in the interests of harmony among the party in Bridgeport. On motion of Representative Keller the clerk was instructed to cast one ballot for Henry Lee of Bridgeport, for the first place. An informal ballot for the second commissioner was then taken. No choice being made a formal ballot was taken, resulting in 13 votes for James Miller of Bedding, 5 for S. S. Ambler, of Bethel, 4 for S. T. Palmer, Of Hunt~ ington, and 3 for Benjamin COp- perthwaite, of Danbury. Mr. Miller having received a majority, the election was made unanimous. .9.» Fairfield County Savings Bank.

Nolan, a well known physician of Bayonne, N. J., died of pneumonia at his home, NO. 43 West Tenth street, Bergen Point, yesterday. The disease developed from a cold caught two days previously. Dr. Nolan was born thirty-eight years ago in Norwich. He was educated in the public schools of that city and at'the Holy Cross college in Worcester, Mass. He studied medicine at the University of Vermont, in Burlington, and with Dr. Patrick Cassidy, the leading physi- cian of New England. After- graduating he came to Norwalk, boarding at he hotel, and built up a paying practice. Later his mother came here and built the house on Wall street now occupied by CharlesT. Leonard. A few years later he moved to Denver, 001., where he married a leading society lady in that city. She lived only about one year after the marriage. He returned east and in 1885 settled in Bayonne, and was chosen City Physician in 1891. He leaves a widow, one child, and an aged mother. While in Norwalk , he won scores Of friends who will grieve to learn of his sudden death. He was a devout member of St. Mary’s church. and together, with his aged mother, did much for the society, but in a quiet and unastentatious way. His wrfe and child lose a devoted husband and fath-- or, his mother a loving son, the public an honest man, and his patients a faith- ful physmian. Peace to his ashes. Entertained His Class. Mr. J. H. Marvin entertained most royally, at his home last evening, the nine boys who are members. of his Sun. day school class. A most bountiful supper provided for the occasion was served, with all that could delight, the table literally groaning under the weight of good things. After doing full justice to that part of the evening’s enjoyment the time was most happily spent in playing games, while music from the piano, violin and cornet, all rendered by the boys, with merry songs added zest to the occasion. When the time to bid good night had the boys a substantial gift, and it would have been difficult to have found nine happier boys who hrd been made so glad bv the generosity of their kind and thoughtful teacher. Long may this good man live to bless our town and this class of fond and grateful scholars. .0! Library Catalogue. EDI’ros GAZETTE :—It was gratifying to see, in your issue of Monday, that “One of the Subscribers.” had stepped out from among the many patrons of the Library, to voice the desire, shared by all, for a new catalogue. There was one aspect of the subject, however, upon which your correspondent failed to touch. That was the waste of time irritatiugly felt by the busy man or woman, in the present arrangement by which books are selected. The tedious removal of book after book from the shelves, for a glance at the title phge. the author’s name, etc All this should be and is unnecessary, in a well regu- lated library, for a little studying by the subscriber, of a catalogue, would simplyi‘y, as well as expedite, the choice of'a book.

Dr. Pequln Will Give His Discovery to the World Saturday Evening. ST. LOUIS. Jan. 24.—A local paper states that at the meeting of the St. Louis Mcdi~ cal society next Saturday evening Dr. Paul Pequin, for many years a member of the state board of health, will present a re- port which will attract the attention of the medical world. . Experiments which have been ,in prog- ress for four years have resulted in the dis- covery of an anticonsumption serum. It is reported that his recent success has decided him to make it public at as early a date as he can possibly formulate results from a report. Dr. Pequin has utilized the principle underlying the natural immunity enjoy- ed by the horse against consumption and the principle by which antitoxine for diph- theria is produced, and he has, it is claim- ed, obtaincd a serum which when intro- duced into human beings suffering from consumption arrests or checks the disease. The serum has been used in the treatment of many cases and is administered in 151“ form of injections. In giving 1,000 injec~ tions no accident occurred except twc trivial ones.‘ In two or three weeks of the treatment the efiects became apparent, especially with - cases in the first and sec- ond stages. .

[ENGLISH LABOR 48‘ ”Ln-:1." 4 LEADERS. . . . m M knowledg‘ements of a Self-Made Man. ‘ His Indomitable Perseverance and U11- til-lug Energy. Mr. John Burns is probably the most amazing man-in all London. Ten years ago he Was regarded as a dangerous agi. tator and demagogue and was prosecuted and imprisoned for sedition and-riot, and was a man without recognition among men of standing or influence among the working people. TO-day Burns is the uncrowned king of the London working populace, a. mem- ber of Parliament and ’0f the London County Council, hobnobs with the states. men and leading men .of Great Britain, and is one of the most influential men in England. His achievements are solely the result of his indomitable perseverance and his tireless energy. In the strictest sense of the word, he is a. self-made man, and, for that matter, self-educated. Burns comes of Scotch blood, but was born in Battersea, London. Before he became known he worked as an engineer- inn Batter-sea factory for 30s. a week. At night he used to read works on So- cialism, the French Revolution, and the like. Then he began to harangue the street crowds of London every Sunday. He was always, conspicuous when any strikes occurred and was almost the most fiery and incendiary of the labor orators. ' . In 1885 he had become well known enough to stand for Parliament. An‘ drew Carnegie was among the contribu— ' tors to his campaign” fund. He was de- feated, however, and the next year was arrested for his bitter and seditious speeches during the “Test End riots, in which $50,000 worth of property was de- stroyed in an hour. The jury disagreed, JOHN BURNS. ~ however, and Burns got off. He was again arrested in a month or so for of? fering to “dynamite Balfour to heaven.” _ Balfour was then Chief Secretary for Ireland. , The; evidence against Burns was insufficient and he was acquitted. In the Trafalgar Square riots Of 1887 Burns wasm.’ conspicuous leader and was sent to prison for three months for incit- ing to riot. Nothing could close his mouth, however, and he kept on speaking and haranguing the street crowds until "he'became one of the best knOwn men of" :‘ London. " ‘ \Vhen the new London County Council was organized Burns was elected a mem— ber from Battersea; His industry in this capacity was something prodigious. In thréc' years he attended six hundred councillmeetings, and, besides that, was busy all day looking after the improve- ments and reforms which he succeeded in putting through. It is due to Burns that his district of Battersea. has become the model residen~ tial district for the working people of “London. He‘ has filled it with parks and “given it clean, streets and sanitary condi- tions and improved it in every way. Be< sides all this, he got the eight hour day established as the legal limit in all pub< ‘licworksof London. and abOlished con~ tracting andsubleting, and had passed a. number of laws protecting wOrkingmen, giving them better conditions under which to work and improving their con- dition_ generally. _ : Helives in an exceedingly modest way inBattersea, where he and his wife, who is almost as gifted as himself, occupy a. houses. . ., He has a fine library, which he laugh- ingly says mostly represents the days he :has gone hungry.
