Second Warning.

The Mayor and Council at the meet—
ing last evening failed to take cogni-_
names of the reported lack of necessary
hose for the fire department or the dir-
abled condition of the fire alarm ser-
vice.

Something should be done at once to
correct this evil. Either more hose
should be procured or the fireaalarm
wires strung on separate poles aWay
from the trolley and electric light wires.
If hose cannot be bought, then by all
means have the wires attended to, so
that in case of fire the department can
be brought to the'scene in time to use
wha little hose they have.

Had the fire that broke out in the
Lockwood building last Saturday morn-
ing occurred in the night, the police
would have been powerless to have
called out the fire department and the
entire business center of the city would
have been placed. in jeopardy by their
inability to sound an alarm.

We have had an example of the con-
dition of the fire alarm wires and they
should be attended to at once before
we are called upon to suffer an irre-
parable loss.

The GAZETTE sounds a second warn-
Will it be heeded in time ?

The income Tax Decision.

The decision rendered by the United
States Supreme Court yesterday de-
clares the whole: Income Tax law un-
constitutional and void. This as com-
pletely efi'aces the odious enactment as
if it had been repealed by an act of
Congress.

”On the 8th of last month the Supreme
Court decided that so much of the In-
come Tax law as relates to the rents
and profits on real estate, and to the
interest on State and municipal bonds,
was unconstitutional and void.

Justice Jackson, who was ill when this
first decision was rendered, stated his
ability and desire to be present upon
a rehearing.

A petition for a rehearing was filed,
and action deferred until a full bench
could be present. On the 6th inst, all
the Justices, nine in number, took their
seats, and a rehearing was had upon all
the questions involved. After full ar-
guments the Court has now rendered
its final decision, as above stated. The
first decision was without dissent as to
the unconstitutionality of the tax on
slate and municipal bonds. As to the
tax upon the rents and profits on real
estate, its constitutionality was main-
tained by two members only, namely,
Justices Harlan and White. Its uncon-
stitutionality was asserted by Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Field, Gray,
Brewer, Brown and Shiras.

The questions upon which the Court
was equally divided were thus stated
by the Chief Justice:

“First, Whether the void provisions
as to rents and income from real estate
and State and municipal bonds invali-
dated the whole act.

Second, Whether as to the income
from personal property, as such, the
act is unconstitutional as levying direct
taxation. ,

Third, Whether any part of the tax,
if not considered as a direct tax, is
invalid for want uniformity on
cithcr'of the grounds nuggester .”

Upon those questions the court now
decides: First, that the tax on State
and municipal bonds is void; second,
that the tax on rents and profits of real
estate, being a direct tax, and not be-
ing apportioned among the States ac-

of

cording to population, is therefore un-
constitutional and void; third, that as
to the income from personal propcrt .,
as such, the act is unconstitutional, be—
' cause it imposes a direct tax without
apportioning the same among the
States, and, fourth, that the provisions
held to be void invalidate the whole
act. - . .
This decision is exhaustive on the
subject Of- Federal taxation. It defines

the term directtaxes as used in “19.109111 ‘

‘ Opera House.

stitution, to apply to all taxes on real, ‘or
personal property, and the rents, inter-
est and other profits arising therefrom.
The amount of property owned in any
State cuts no figure. Each State must
produce its quota of the taxes according
to population and not according to its
wealth.

The other sources of revenue from
which, under the Constitution, the Fed—
eral Government may draw, are ex-
cises, imports and duties. These are
duties on imports, taxes on the manu-
facture and sale of home products,
licenses on occupations, and any other
method of indirect taxation. It does not
remain, therefore, within the power of
Congress to pass an Income Tax in the
future. That tremendous power is
vested in the Supreme Court of the
United States by the Constitution itself.
That high tribunal has now declared
that the Constitution forbids the enact-
ment of a law taxing incomes.

The decision is a boon to the country.
It renders impossible a repetition of
the infamous legislation embraced in
the present incOme tax.

There is another view under which
the defeat of this Populistic scheme is
an inestimable benefit. It was the first
step toward that doctrine, hateful to
nineteen-twentieths of the men of all
parties,;known as free trade.

It is an emphatic rebuke to the dem-
agogism which seeks to create discon-
tent among the poor, and to stir up
strife between them and the more pres-
perous, without whose ability to organ-
ize business enterprises, the condition
of labor would be distressful to the last
degree.

Now let Congress raise the revenue
of the Government by those constitu-
tionul methods which experience proves
makes the burden of taxation lighter
than any other. Whiskey and tobacco
yield one-half of the revenues of the
Government. Let the other half come
from the duties on imported goods.

Again, all hail, for the country is to
be immeasurably congratulated.

The case of the Insurance Adjusters
vs. the New York & Norwalk Steamboat
company, will be tried in the United
States court at New York, to-morrow.
The case grows out of a collision be-
tween the propellor City of Norwalk
which it is alleged was the cause of the
sinking of a barge in tow of the tug
boat Purcell, on July 24th, 1894. Cap-
tain Peck of the City of Norwalk claims
that he was not liable for the accident
and it occurred on account of the neg-
ligence of the captain of the Purcell.

DIED PISIOI IN HIIND.

Danlel Simpson Stricken Before He
Gould Take Another’s Life.

Angered'Because His Carriage Was

Run Into.

a man who proved to be Daniel Simp-
son of 327 Third avenue, New York city,
met death under peculiar circumstances
at Westport. Simpson, in company
with a friend, was driving through that
place in a light buggy with one horse.
He was ofi‘ for a week’s cross country
trip.

At a point on CI 058 Highway Opposite
the reside use of George Williams,
Simpson’s team was run into by one
driven by George Ferries, of Westport.
The New Yorker was very angry and a
quarrel ensued. Simpson became heat-
ed and was about to draw a revolver
when he gave a gasp and fell backward
dead. Heart disease was the cause of
his death.

Medical Examiner Powers was sum-
moned and the body was turned over
to Undertaker Fable. The companion
of Simpson has disappeared. The name
Of the dead man was ascertained from
papers found in his pockets.

ten, of Bridgeport, by Dr. Powers who

The Coroner is in Westport tO-day mak-
ing an investigation.

Sheriff Driscol. stated to a GAZETTE
representative, this morning v, that the
turnout driven by Simpson looked very
suspicious. It was a cheap wagon and
harness and Simpson’s companion said
that they had started from New York
and were driving over the country.

A session of the Town Court was held
in the leases street court 100m yester-
day afternoon Judge James T. Hubbell
presiding.

The first prisoner was James Hyde
who pleaded guilty to being intoxicated
and he was fined $3 and costs, $9.41,
which was paid and the prisoner dis-
charged.

Bobert Anderson, an account of whose
misdoings appeared in these colums
yesterday, had four charges pre-
ferred against him as follows: intoxica-
tion, assault on his sister, assault on his
mother and resistance to an officer.
He pleaded guilty to belng intoxicated
and assaulting his sister, and was fined
$5 and costs on each count. .110 also
put in the same plea on the charge Of
resistance, for which he was sentenced
to 30 days in jail. He pleaded not
guilty to an assault on his mother, but
was found guilty and fined $10 and

Fire at WinnlpauK.

The house owned by William Lou-
den, and located near the residence of
Andrew Hutchinson, in I’Vinnipauk,
was entirely destroyed by fire between
10 and. 11 o’clock, this morning. The
fire when first discovered was in the
northwest corner of the house and the
flames quickly spread and the building
and almost its entire contents including
a new piano were destroyed.

The employees at the Norwalk Mills
rendered valuable assistance by form-
ing into a bucket brigade and dashing
water onto buildings near by, thus
preventing a further spread of the fire,
The supply of water gave out but fon-
tunately at this juncture the burning
building collapsed and the danger of
the flames communicating w1th adj oin-
ing property was averted.

It is hard to assign a correct cause
for the fire as there had been no
fire'for several days in that part of the
building where the flames were first
discovered. It is thought by some that
it was started from a box of matches
ignited by rats, and by others that a
defective fine was the cause.

The building is said to have been
built in Colonial times. It was valued
at $2,000 and was insured for $1,000.
The loss on the contents of the house
was also covered by an insurance of
$1,000.

 

Their First Ball.

The Hermannssoehne Liederkranz
gave their first ball, last night, in their
hall in tho GAZETTE building. The
floor was crowded with lovers of torp-
sichorc, and the dancing was indulged

 

 

 

in to music furnished by Prof. Vogler’s
orchestra. The Liederkranz sans: three
songs which gained the hearty applause
of members of the Arion and Germanic.
singing societies present, as well as that

of others. The ball as an initial. one
was a grand success.

CITY COUNCIL MEEIINC

The Norwalk Street ——Railway Com-
pany Asks For Permission to
Extend a Turnout.

Frank Foster indignant,

Mayor Hubbell and the full board
were ppesent at an adjourned meeting
of the City Council held last evening
and considerable business was transact-
ed without a loss of much time or any
large amount of ceremony. As a mat-
ter of fact the business at all meetings
of this council is transacted in, a. busi-
ness like way and with commendable
expedition.

The last chapters of the cOntinued

story entitled the “Minutes of the
Previous Meeting” were read by City
Clerk E. M. Lockwood, after which a
grist of bills aggregating 8544.17 were
presented and after having been read
by the Mayor, were ordered paid.
' .A petition from Franklin Selleck
asking for permissson to erect a frame
dwelling house on Isaacs’ Place, fol-
lowed, and the prayer of the petitioner
was granted.

A petition numerously signed, asking
fora sewer on Prospect avenue, was re-
ferred to the sewer committee.

A petition for a sewer on Stevens
street, the prayer of the petitioners
setting forth the advantages such a
sewer would be to the city in the saving
ofiwork upon such highway, as well as
the benefits it would be to the residents
Of Stevens street was read and referred
to the chairman Of the sewer committee.

Francis Foster who some weeks since
preferred chargesagainstChief—of—Police
Bradley, and who at a later meeting
of the Council was given permission to
withdraw his complaint was present and

‘asked to make a statement which re-

uest was granted.

He said that he had been advised by
the City clerk of the action of the Coun-
cil in reference to his charges, and
wished to state that he did not want to
withdraw his complaint, as he was able
to produce a number of witnesses who
would substantiate the charges he“ had
made against Bradley.

The matter was explained to him by
the Mayor, but this did not seem to
pacify him, and he left the room with
the remark, “I did not expect to get
fair play when I came in here.”

Edward Cahill also had a grievance
which he stated to the Council in the
form of a question, as to why no action
had been taken on the petition pre-
sented for a light on Stuart avenue.
He seemed to be very indignant, but
went out somewhat pacified when in-
formed by Councilman Wheeler that
the matter would be investiaated.

Professor Harstrom then received
the attention of the Mayor and Council
and ably and intelligently presented
the needs of the construction of a sewer
on Prospect avenue. He said that the
present method Of getting rid 'of the
seweage on that avenue was very crude
and unsanitary, it being largely con-
fined to cesspools which overflowed
and were a menace to the health of not
only those living in the neighborhood
but to all. In his own house there

that it was only a short time since that
there was a case of Sickness in his house
that was directly traceable to the bad
sewerage. He further stated that the
revenue from his house and ,ts occu-
pants amounted to from $8,000i'to $10,-
000 yearly, at least ninety nerlécnt. of
which was expended in N orwalk.
General Manager W. F. Acton of the
Street Railway company, presented a
petition with a map of the proposed
layout, praying for permission ’ to ex-
tend the present- switch of the com-
pany from Ward to Harriett street, an
addition to the present switch, which is
450 feet long, of about 2,400 feet. He
stated that this additional track would
leave a free road space on either side of
the tracks of about 10 feet and 2 inches
between the curb and rails. He said
that the company would commence
work within a. month after the granting
of the petition or as soon as the mater-
ial could be gotten for the construction
and that the work would be done en-
tirely by Norwalk labor.. The com-
pany proposed, in order that the street
might be kept uniform with the rest of
the avenue, to take out the cobbles

‘ nowin use and substitute macadam,

using the cobbles only on the outside
edges of the track where it was not
practicable to use macadam.

It was voted that a. public hearing
on the proposed changes be held in the
council room on Friday evening, May
24th, before the Council and that pub—
lic notice be given of such hearing,

It was also voted that when the coun-
cil adjourn it be until Friday evening,
May 24th.

Councilman Osborn called attention
to the dangerous condition of an unused
telephone pole on Berkeley street.

Councilman Boyer, chairman of the
Finance committee reported on the
matter of the issuance by the city of
$50,000 in water bonds and $50,000 in
municipal bonds. He also presented
blank designs for such bonds, which
were very neat. The water bonds have
a center-piece or medalion of a water
scene, and the municipal bond a medal-
ion embracing the city seal. The
blankswith the necessary coupons he
said would cost about $100. He was in
favor of having the bids for (the bonds

 

, clOse about June 10th, as by so doing

were over twenty inmates, and he said,

the bonds couldprobably be disposed
of before July 1st, at which time certain
amounts of the city indebtness became
due and payable. He also suggested
that the advertising of the bonds for
sale be done by circular letter, as in
this wise purchasers could be mo're
readily and systematically reached.
It was then voted that the matter of
the manner in which the bonds should
be offered for sale and the details of
the printing of the same be left to the
chairman of the finance committee. ,
’ Councilman Chinery chairman of the
fire committee reported that Hope
Hose company needed a new hose noz-
zle, six rubber coats and six pairs of
rubber boots, and that Phoenix Engine
company needed a. Siamese connection
and several pair of rubber boots. The
matter was referred to Chairman Chin-
ery with power. _

Councilman Osborn said that his at-
tention had been called to the fact that
some of the residents of Stuart avenue
had failed to comply with the order to
curb and gutter in front of their re-
spective premises. The matter was re-
ferred to the chairman of the highway
committee.

The city clerk was instructed to pro-
pare a city ordinance relative to the
propelling of bicycles on the streets.

Previous to this vote the matter was
fully discussed which discussion showed
the fact that a large number of bicycles
were ridden after dark on the main
thoroughfares without either alarm
bells or lanterns. It was also shown
that the city of South Norwalk had an
ordinance governing the use of bicycles
on the streets, an ordinance too that
was quite generally enforced.

Chairman of the highway committee.
Councilman Smith. reported that the
repairs on Main street had been made
at a Cost of only $375.

The Council then adjourned u’ntil Fri-
day evening, May 24th.
