me Hartford and Harlem

 Resume Of the Hearing This Mornlne-A
 Strong Opposition to the Proposeo A@y-
 out Apparent.
 This morning at 10 o'clock the continued hearing in reference to the layout of the Hartford and Harlem railroad through New Haven will be resumed in the Superior court room, County Court building, before the railroad commissioners. It was under steod when the commissioners adjourned at their last hearing that on reassembling here they would give four days, if necessary, to New Haven parties interested In the layout. It is supposed that this morning City Engi- neer Hill will be put on the stand in regard to the manner in which New Haven Will pc affected in its sewer system by the proposed layout, and it is thought that his testimony will of necessity show that it will greatly ln- jure the system proposed by Mir. Oneesnor ough and adopted by the city. The inter- being faithfully looked after by Corporation Counsel Driscoll, so fal as the interests of property owners are con cerned. Several able attorneys have been employed and their clients are also aiding the counsel in every way in their power tc prevent what to them and large portion oi the citizens seems to be an unwarranteo layout for a railroad. The opinion prevail ing among the community whether far oi near from the proposed layout, is that the railroad commissioners are gentlemen Of toe much good sense to for one moment accspl the layout proposed, yet they do not intenc to abate one jot or little of their opposition tC the proposed ruinous scheme.

Abandoning Her Child.

A Woman From New York Leaves Her
 Young Baby Long Wharf
 The Starin asteamer Erastus Corning brought among it's passengers from New York yesterday morning young woman with small baby. The woman with the child in her arms left the boat and proceed ed up Long Wharf. At the entrance to J. D. DeweII & Go. s storehouse the woman left the child and passed on towards the Union depot David Foley, the gate tender, saw the movement and gave word that a child had been left there. At the depot the wo- man was found by Officer Higgins. At first she denied abandoning the child, but finally confessel. She was taken back to her child and then to the po- lice office. The woman, who gives her name as Annie O'Connor, was charged in the City court yesterday with the aban- donment of a male child. By advice of her counsel ex-Judge Sheldon, she entered 8 plea of not guilty. The testimony of the witness showed that she had abandoned the child, and she was bound over tothe Supe- rior court in $200 bonds for trial. The wo- man claims that the father of the child is New York coachman, who promised to mar ry but deserted her. She has been in this country four years, and was domestic en- pioyed by family on Fifth avenue, whose name she did not wish to divulge. After ward she went to live with Mrs. Clark at 137 East street, where the baby was born. She made repeated efforts to have the child placed in an asylum, but without success. At one founding institution she was told that with Gods help she could properly provide for her child. Mrs. Clark advised her to come to New Haven and place it in an asylum here, and so she came up on the boat. Not until after she had left the boat did she form the idea of abandoning the child. -''I could not take care of it," she said, land I hoped that some good people would find it and bring it up."
 The infant is only six weeks old and will probably live but short time, as it is very delicate and shows signs of neglect When found on the steps of the storehouse it was wrapped up in blanket and was feeding it. self from a bottle that lay on it's little breast. The woman has been treated shamefully, and it is likely that as sosn as she is able to take care of herself, the charge will be nolled and she will be sent back to New York, where her case will be given to the authorities for in- vestigation. The maximum penalty for abandoning child is two years imprison- ment, and fine of $500.

Gathering Taxes-BusyTimes.

All day long, while the doors remained open, a stream of people poured into the of flee of the tax collector in the City Hall yes terday. All sorts and conditions of men, women and children went and left their of ferings at the shrine. The widows mite and the ample roll of Dives went into the collectors till together and the smile which greeted the one was just as ample as that be- slowed upon the other. Old men whose witherea hands retained their hold upon the gold as long as possible before it disappeared in the clinking vortex, and young children, with the instructions of busy parents appear ing in their actions and almost in their faces. pressed together and paid their tribute into the city treasury. They all made haste to get their receipts before the days of interest should begin and they made haste to leave the office, as if the place had for them no in- terest. A common look of half-resigned despair found expression in the peoples faces. The advance of three mills over last years taxes, for which the town and the Board of Education are partially responsible, made some extra sorrow, but it was the old story of paying taxes. It has few attrae tions. There was about $75, 900 taken yes. terday at the collectors ofice

The Rag and the Cholera Question.

Dr. 0. W. Chamberlain, the secretary of the State board of health, says, in his report for the month of June, that there have been few cases of smallpox, brought on by in- fected rags, in Norwich. Windsor Locks and Poquonneck. This disease is the one most to be feared from rags. The rags collected in Egypt do not reach this country for several months after they have been shipped. The first danger is ct the central stations where the rags are dusted and baled. This year in formation has been received that ships laden with rags have sailed since the outbreak of cholera; also that the collection of rags was not, as usual, stopped upon the outbreak of cholera. Consequently unusually strict supervision should be made by the authori- ties wherever there is the least chance of danger.
