President McKinley this morning de—
voted the greater portion of his time
before the meeting of the Cabinet to a
conference with a delegation of anti-
Platt men, who came from New York
and called by appointment. The ob-
ject of the visit was to formally protest
against the appointment of George A.
Bidwell for collector of the port at
New York city, whose appointment is
being earnestly urged by their Senator
Platt. It was said after the delegation
departed from the Executive Mansion
that the protest against the appoint—
ment'of Bidwell was unavailing, except
so far as it induced the President to
make a fairly equitable distribution of
the minor positions. The appointment
of Mr. Bidwell is now a foregone con-
clusion, and his nomination to be col-
lector of the port of New York may be
expected at any day, but probably will
not be made until next week.

H. Platt left here yesterday, for a visit
to friends in MOntclair, N. J. and Con-
necticut, after which she will go for
the summer to her camp, Rippawan, in
in the Adirondacks. Rippawan was
built by Mrs. Platt last year, and is a
charming retreat, half a dozen miles
from Lake Saranac. It is a beautiful,
secluded nook, up in the heart of the
mountains, and within a short distance
of Lake Placid. The Senator also owns
afine camp at Long Lake, which no
doubt will now find its way into mar-
ket.

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
John Hogan and Bob Adams Fall From
Their Wheels.
irThe irrepressible Bob Adams took a
header from his wheel yesterday after-«
noon that would have made an acrobat
in a circus proud. He quietly picked
himself up, however, and will practice
next time in a ten acre lot where there
are no trolley tracks.
Yesterday afternoon about 5:30
o’clock, John Hogan of Main street
took a header from his wheel on North
Main street opposite Union, SOuth
N orwalk, which might have resulted
seriously, but luckily resulted‘ in no
other damage than a scratched and
bruised face, from his plunging head-
long upon the sidewalk.
A wagon caught in the trolley tracks
near Brad Keith’s house in Winnipauk
yesterday afternoon and lost a wheel.
The wagon was heavily loaded with
numerous articles which were thrown
into the street.
u. 3. SPECIAL TAX.
Delinquents Must Hurry Up or Take the
Consequences.
To-day is the last day on which the

dealers in the district, and at noon yes-
terday but 300 had paid the tax. Un-

ing the office to-day at 3 p. m.. the de-
linquents will be prosecuted.

Of Eben Hill, Jr., it says:
“His nicknames are ‘Eb.,’ Sneezer,’
‘Belville Hill.’ He scorched into
prominence on the 22d day of Febru-
ary,1875, and has kept the sands under
his tire rather warm ever since. .Eb’s
father is Ebenezer Hill, manufacturer
and mechanical engineer, of Danbury,a
graduate of Wesleyan ’70. Eb has had
numerous uncles and cousins at Yale
and his distinguished relatives monop‘
olize the unwritten history of Danbury
township. His blood is Dutch, French
and German.
“In spite of the tears and protesta-
tions of his friends, Eb insists on going
to Cornell and eventually becoming a
mechanical engineer.”

ones made the startling discovery that

dation.
An Orderly Meeting and a Vote of 36 to
26 Against the Resolution.
At the meeting of the voters of the
Over River School district, held in the
school house last evening, the rain pre-
vented many from attending who
would otherwise have been present.
B. W. Maples acted as chairman and
Clerk A. E. Austin read the notice of
the special meeting, which was to au-
thorize the committee of said district
to provide additional school room by
the erection of an additional building
or the remodeling of the present school
building; also to authorize the borrow-
ing of money to pay for same.
Committeeman Frederick Mead ex-
plained the necessity of more room, and
Mayor Wheeler moved and advocated
an appropriation of $2,500 for building
an addition to the present school house."
Henry Chasmar favored the resolution
as did Mr. Maples and E. M. Lockwood.
Rev. G. Haulenbeck, - A. E. Austin
and Selectman Selleck opposed the res-
olution on account of the already heavy
debt of the district and prevailing hard
times.
William McMullen and son also op-
posed the resolution, the f01mer re-
marking that it was easier to borrow
money than pay it.
After several others had been heard
for and against the resolution, a vote
was taken which resulted 26 for to 36
against, and the meeting adjourned.
