James was struck in the head and instantly killed. His brother escaped unhurt. A jury of inquest was held, but the verdict could not be ob- tained in time for this issue of the TelsgrGm. . dispatch from MontvilIe ct 3:55 says |: The O'Brien brothers had walked from Nor wich to Montville on the turnpike. and on account of the bad walking concluded to walk to New London on the railroad track. James was half way across the bridge when struck and was caught up by the locomotive in such way that he did not fall into the water. His brother was short distance behind and managed to get of the bridge just in time to save his Hfe-Neao London IegegrGm.

Abating Taxes.

 Amount of Business.

The Commission Dispose of a Large
 Amount of Business.
 The Tax Commissioners last night exam ined the case of George P. Staples, whose tax bills amount to $1, ,21O. He claimed he ought not to pay. The assessment was on personal property which he said he had made over to his sonin-law, who had assumed the payment. The commissioners concluded to visit the Tax Collector and see whether at the time the tax was laid Mir. Staples or MT. Wheeler was responsible for the amount.
 Frank B. Craig's assessment for straight ening Hallock street, $1,O79.50, ought, he said, to be abated on account of the injustice done by the Board of Compensation. MT. Craig had never taken an appeal as allowed | by law. The commissioners thought they ought not to interfere.
 Christopher Flood wanted $10O taken of 1 the assessment for Laurel street improve ments on the ground that MT. Cook had in some way got four feet of his land. The | committee agreed to recommend reduction to bring the amount down to $75, provided he would pay by May 1st.
 Benjamin Levi, without offering an argu- ment in favor of the proposition, said he | wanted 8 reduction. The committee voted him leave to withdraw.
 l Dr. John P. Phillips had exhibited his con- | tract with the college, he having said that the college and not himself owned the land | in Fair Haven for which he had been taxed. ] This contract was in the nature of sale agreement, and the committee considered l that Dr. Phillips should have leave to with draw. The amount of his bill is $4O.64. The National Savings bank had been as- sessed, perhaps at low valuation, on some l property, but by an error the assessment was on 80 feet instead of 66 feet. The commit l tee agreed to recommend so much of an abatement as would allow for this difference in measurement of the land.
 In the case of M W. Brogan, of "A Greenwood street, it was voted to recon mend that the taxes on 1879 be abated, pro. vided he pays $50 by the 1st of April and the balance of his bill by July l, 1883.
 Wolf Williams bill amounting to $1e1 was reduced to $9O, if he pays by July l.
 In the matter of John Coogan, having once paid his bill, amounting to BPS, being not exactly proved, it was voted to recon mend that the estate pay half the amount ii paid by April 1.
 In the matter of Patrick Higgins it wal first voted to look up the facts, the claim be ing that the land was bought under 8 misap prehension as to tax against Bridget Smith Finally the committee agreed to recommend the payment of the principal on two years taxation and cost of lien.
 The committee agreed to meet again Mon day next and take up matters for Grac church parish, Thomas H. Fulton and G. T. filling.
