It is announced that the Supreme Court of the United States will meet on Monday next, when a full court is expected, to consider the question of a rehearing._or a revision of the decision given by the court on the important question of the validity pf the income tax law, when the act was afi‘irmed by a divided court. . ' I . . It was at first stated that the full court would meet on the 6th of May to hear argument only on the question ordering a rehearing of the case, but it is now understood that if Judge..Jack- son shall be present, the argument will be widened in its scope and all the im- portant points involved will be heard. It matters not whether the court shall consider the argument simply on a motion for rehearing, or open the dis- cussion of the merits Of the issue. Whatever the decision may be it will be final. If argument shall be ordered by a full court, it would mean that the Judge who was not present was in doubt as to his judgment and the argument would doubtless be ordered at once. It is gratifying indeed that the court has appreciated the supreme importance of an early and satisfactory decision of this question. If, with a full bench, a rehearing shall be refused, it can mean only that a majority of the court—that is five of the nine Judges—approve of the decision rendered by the eight, and that the income tax law, as modified by that decision, is constitutional and must stand. With the Widespread feeling among the people against the income tax law, it is of first importance that its con- ititutionality shall not be in any degree doubtful, anda decision covering the ground broadly by a majority of the United States court is at present an im- perious necessity. It is safe to assume that within the next month or‘six weeks at the most, we shall have the final judgment of the highest judicial tribu- ' ml of the land distinctly defining the right of the government to levy taxes upon incomes. Commendable Action. In September, 1893 the the managers of the Norwalk Mills .called their em- ploy ees together and advised them that owing to the, stagnation of business they were forced to make a reduction in wages, but that as soon as business would warrant it the old scale of wages would be resumed. The cut down was 10 per cent. One day last week, the secretary of the company, Mr. J. A. Os- born, advised the employees that the old wages Would be restored, com- mencing at that time. He also thanked them for the manner in which they had done their work even under the “out” in wages, and stated that the prospects of plenty of work were now good. Evidently there is a feeling of confii- dence between the employees and em- ployers of this mill which insures suc— cess to all. New machinery is to be added and the output from the mill largely increased. - Death of Samuel Gorham. Samuel Gorham, died in Middletown, Saturday, aged 82 years.

Kill ed By An Italian watchman, who is known as “Barney,” was killed in the tunnel of the Shore Line cut in Fair Haven last evening. He was walking on the tracks and stepped across from one to the other to get out of the way of an east bound train when he was struck by a west bound freight that he had not seen. Both legs and -One arm were brokeu, and his skull badly crushed. ,—————-——-CO.—————--‘-‘ in the Hospital. Harry Camp, a bicyclist who takes dust from but a few riders, was not in luck yesterday. In the morning, while he was taking a spin to South Norwalk the tire on the front wheel of his bicy- cle parted company with the wheel and attempted to run away but was captured by Harry and re-fastened. In the at- ternoon the tire of the hind wheel sud- denly collapsed and attempted the same antics as had the companion tire on the front wheel, but was finally brought under subjection, .after which Harry “tied up” the‘bicyclc and this morning placed it in the C. Ford Seeley Cycle hospital. Thought He Lied.- Justice Rose, this morning, fined Patrick Eagan, $5 and costs. Eagan was arrested by Officer Kenney, Satur- day night for being intoxicated, and for begging. Complaint was sent into the police that there was a man at the heapital who insisted on being given food and that he was intoxicated. Offi- cer Kenney placed him under arrest. He claimed that he belonged in North- port, L. I., and was employed on the schooner “Pierson” which was moored at South Norwatk, and .made the fur- ther statement that the captain had gone away from the boat and left the crew without anything to eat. The Judge apparently placed no credence in his story, and Patrick’s address will probably be at the Bridgeport jail for some days to come. 6 Manager Charles J. Belknap Dead. Charles J. Belknap, manger of the Auditorium Theatre at Bridgeport, and one of the best known theatrical men in New England, died at Dr. Haynor’s gold cure establishment in White Plains Saturday night. . He obtained admission at five o’clock in the afternoon and said that he had drunkaquart of liquor that day and ,wished to be treated for inebriety. He iretired to the room that was assigned to him shortly afterward and was dis- covered a little later unconscious, with his head hanging out of bed. "All efforts to revive him proved unavailing, and he died at eleven O’clock. It is thought that he must. have taken some drug in addition to the liquor. Mr. Belknap left Bridgeport on Fri- day morning without telli-ng any oflhis friends where he was going. He had been treated at a Keeley institute two years ago, but did not stay cured. A Parish of His Own. A Catholic parish has been estab- lished by Right Reverend Bishop Tier- ney at Darien and Noroton, the rectory to be in Noroton. With a wise discrim- ination as to the ability Of his appoint- ees, the Bishop has selected the senior curate, Rev. Father T. M. O’Brien, from among'the curates of St. Mary’s church, this city. A man who, as in- deed do all of the curates, together, with Rev. Father Slocum at the head of the parish, enjoys the respect and in contact. Rev. Father O’Brien is a powerful preacher in the cause he es- pouses and is beloved by the parishion- ers of the church who, while delighting in his advancement, at the same time will feel his. loss. The retiring curate has been in Norwalk for the past eight years, and was for four years previous located at Mcriden. He is a New Bri- right to feel proud. His Condition Critical. Joseph Matheis, ”who suffered a para- lytic shock, one day last Week, lies in a critical condition at his home on Ward street, and it is believed that his sands of life will run out within a few days. He has the best‘of medical attendance and nursing, and all possible is being done to make him comfortable. While apparently recognizing the nearer and dearer of his friends he is unable to articulate a single word. ._.._. »._.._.~.—< ->__....__-_._. . Pensions.

' Arrested for anjAttemptepd Assault on a Six-Year-Old Girl. William Flynn of New Haven the Prisoner. ‘ There was great excitement on Havi- land street, South N orwalk, Saturday night, when the police arrested William Flynn, a deck hand on a boat lying at Tolles’ dock, charged with attempting a criminal assault on the little six-year- old daughter of John Cullinan, who drives for Raymond Brothers. , It appears from the stories related that Cullinan and his wife were absent and the little girl left alone in the house when Flynn, who was very much intox- icated, entered the room and attempted to assault the child. Cullinan and his wife returned and caught Flynn in the act and springing upon him beat him unmercifully. Mrs. Cullinan took both of the children and ran for a policeman and Detective Gladstone responded and arrested Kelly, who was a terrible sight from the beating given him by Culli- nan. A messenger was sent for Dr. Kenne- dy who failed to find any evidence Of an assault ”having been committed be- yond the torn underclothing of the child. Flynn was locked up and at once went to sleep. When he awoke yester- day morning he did not know what he had done or where he had been, but when informed stated that he knew Cullinan. 3‘ He was brought :before . Justice Smith for a hearing this morning and pleaded ignorance of the charge and was bound over to the Superior court under £500 bonds. .. The story of the attc mpted assault is not believed by many who are of the opinion that Kelly was beaten by Culli- nan and in order to shield himself made the serious charge against him. Culli- nan has a bad record, and has done time for drunkenness and assault, and it was only a few weeks ago that he was before Justice Smith and fined for re- sisting Officer Decker. Gathered in. Mike Cahill, sent to jail some weeks since for appropriating canned goods from a Main street store in this city, was released on Saturday. In company with a colored individual who gave his name asWilliam Henry Russell, he came back to Norwalk. The two last evening proceeded to “travel about the city” on their nerve. Everything ran smoothly until this morning when they visited a .saloon on Wall street, called for drinks and after getting the same said, “chalk them down,we can’t pay.” They quickly left the saloon when threatened that a repetition of the “joke” might result Later they visited Wadhams‘ market. and at- tempted to steal some eggs. , They then strolled down East avenue thoroughly intoxicated. They reeled along the walk and made themselves otherwise obnoxious to pedesterians. Complaint was made to Chief Bradley who secured Expressman Lincoln 9nd his truck and started after the men. Evidently thinking they were out of sight of the officers, Russell boldly went into the yard and up to the door of the George W. Cram residence where he insolently demanded something to eat. Just then Lincoln and his truck appeared on "the scene. Passing his good night-stick to Lincoln,‘Bradley said “GO for the coon, I takeht-he other one.” And Lincoln went, a"ii_d in less time than it takes to tell it had his man on the sidewalk. Chief Bradley easily securedCahill and both men being placed in the truck, Lincoln started up his horse and the prisoners were lodged in the station house. 7 Mike is an old offender and it is fair _ to presume that Russell is no novice as to jail experience. Both will be given a hearing before Justice Rose, this af- ternoon, and will no doubt receive de- served punishment. Bock Beer Season. A Hoyt street man is said to have a number of bruises about his face and body inflicted by a man named Louden, at Winnipauk, last night. There was a 14 round prize-fight near the Fair grounds, yesterday afternoon, which was declared a draw. The screams of “Oh, papa, don’tkill mamma,” might have been heard on Main street, about 12 o’clock, Saturday night. .

'Noticeiofj the suitwas served upon Mix Gould-bye. constable as the million- aire alighted from‘a" Bound Brook express train at the Communipaw station of the Jersey Central railroad Friday. Mrs. Buhmann said today: “My suit is ‘ really based upon 'Mr. Gould’s refusal to pay me the balance of a check for $40,- 000. Mr. Gould, through my , counsel, Howe & Hummel, settled my former case against him by giving me a check for $40,- 000. The check was dated in advance, and a certified check for $5,000 was given me as earnest money. The latter check was paid. The $40,000 check was regained, and I have no redress but to bring suit. That my claim against Mr. Gould is just is evidenced by the readiness with which he gave me a . check for- such a large amount. I am determined now to bring the matter to the attention of the courts. I am content to leave it With a jury of 19 good men. . PERRY AT MATTEAWAN. Back at His 01a Quarters, but In One of ’ the Best Wards. ,- annunc; N.
