Hobart L. Hotchkiss' Proposed | Abatement of Town Agent Rey- noIds' Salary Selectman Comes I to NauGht.
 l At the adjourned town meeting yesterday | Hobart L.. Hotchkiss introduced vote pro- viding that the $2,3OO salary of the town agent should be in full for all services as Selectman. It is well known fact that the Selectmen receive $250 for each meeting held by them during the year in accordance with a vote passed several years ago. The | purpose of this addition to the vote fixing the salary of the town agent was to cut of this small additional stipend from Mr. Key { uolds while the other Selectnen would con- tinue to receive their pay before. In conversation with MT. Reynolds after { the town meeting had adjourned he said: 1T think that MT. Hotchkiss was 8 little too previous in intro ducing this motion. I knew this to be the case when he introduced his motion, but knowing that it would make no difference with me whether the amendment passed or not, did not interfere" "Why will it make no difference, MT. Key noldsT'
 "Wsll, in the first place, there was noth- ing in the call for the meeting regarding fix ing the salaries of the Selectmen and, con sequently, any action of this sort would not be legal. Again, when I was first elected town agent, which was in 1880, and before 1 had received any pay as Selectman, it was thought best to get legal advice on the sub ject and this was obtained"
 F'Have you that opinion!'
 ''Yes. It was by Judge Bronson and is on file in this ofics."
 ''Have you any objection to furnishing a oF i+ "None whatever"
 MT. Reynolds then went to his safe and brought forth the opinion, which was as fol lows:
 To the honorable Selectmen of the town of New Haven:
 several years ago provides for com pensation to such of you attend the evening meet ings of the Board.
 You inquire of me whether the present town agent who is one of the Selectmen and has salary fixed by the town, is enti- tied to share in this compensation
 The only difficulty on this point arises out of the fact that the town agent is one of the Board. If he was not then it is evident that there would be seven Selectmen drawing pay under the vote aforesaid.
 I do not think that the Selectman who is also town agent, loses his identity as Select man. He has still his duties, as member of your body, to perform as well as the rest of you. In the performance of those duties he is not town agent, and is not performing the labor for which the town voted him a salary.
 arrive then at the conclusion that all the Selectmen are entitled under the vote afore- said to draw their pay.
 I cannot see how the constitutional amend ments affect the matter in any shape.
 Respectfully,
 SAMUEL L. BRONSON.
 In further conversation MT. Reynolds said that the aninus of Mir. Hotchkiss no doubt arose from the fact that he Reynolds) de- elined to support him for representative in preference to Mr Stoddard

 Yesterday afternoon Constable William B. Catlin attached the property of Judge Lucius P. Deming of the City court for $10,0 900 in g suit for damages brought by Louis 0. Rich ards, the Italian law student who was depos- ed as court interpreter by Judge Deming sev-
 eral days ago. The allegations are as fol- lows:
 First count-On November 28 the defend ant spoke at New Haven in the hearing of Alfred M Downes the following words con- corning the plaintiff: "Wel1, there have been so many complaints made against him to me lately that I have thought ought to do something about the matter. I understand from pretty good sources that young Richards and certain other attornies are not acting perfectly straight. I learn from my informants that Richards gets so much from the prisoners in whose cases he interprets for translating the evidence for their benefit" Count 4-The defendant meant by said words in paragraph one that the plaintiff had been guilty of bribe taking and perjury while
 acting as interpreter.
 On said 2Sth day of November the defend
 ant caused said words to be published in the
 New Haven Register. The defendant meant thereby that the
 plaintiff was perjurer and taker of
 bribes
 W. c. Case furnished bonds for Judge
 Deming.

The Late Franeis Bangs.

Francis N. Bangs who died at Ocala, Fla, Monday night, was a prominent lawyer in New York city, his practice having been largely in cases involving large business in tsrests and in bankruptcy under the United States law of 1867, and was one of tho hard est working and most reliable men in the profession. His death was primarily caused by overwork, his health having been poor since the close of the long and intricate Di Cesnola trial in which he engaged. Last July he was prostrated after an all night hearing before the common council of the city in a close and fetid roon, and never re- covered. He went to the White mountains for & time but he has been at his office but three days since. MT. Bangs was nearly sixty years old son of Rev. Nathan Bangs, an early Methodist circuit rider and president of Wes 1eyan university. The son was educated at Wesleyan and the University of New York and read law at Yale. Among his business partners in New York were Hiram Ketchum, George Buckham, Joshua M. Van Cott, John Sedgwick, now judge of the New York Superior court, and Thomas M North. He was one of the mem bers of the New York Bar association, its president in 1882 and '83, and active in the proceedings against those creatures of the Tweed ring Judges Barnard and Cardozo. He was also member of the Union League club and served for a time as private in the war. He was twice married and leaves widow and three sons, Francis S., part ner in the fathers law firm, William N, en- gagged on the comic journal Life, and John K.
 The deceased was a nephew of the late presiding elder, HenaA Bangs, one of the noted pioneer Methodists of this part of the country and well remembered here. The de- IL oft tha proprietors of the Elderage school; of this city

SHE DID NOT FEAR HIM.

Mrs. Edward Malley Sees n Eur.
 glar Disappearing out of Her
 Bedroom Window and Makes an Unsuecessful Attempt to Catch Him.
 About 10 o'clock Wednesday evening Mrs. Edward Malley left her husband and MT. Walter Malley down stairs in the sitting room, at which time she started to go to her bedroom to retire. As she entered her room she noticed that the light was turned up higher than when she was last in the room, and looking towards window which looks out on to a verandah she saw pair of legs disappearing through the window on to the verandah. Mrs. Malley, being a brave woman, started for the window with the in tention of capturing the owner of the legs until assistance arrived, but she was not quick enough and the man escaped. Mrs. Malley then gave an alarm and her husband and Walter began a search for the burglar, but he was mo- where te be found, although Mir. Malley found what is known as burglars ladder in lot nsar the house. Detective Reilly yesterday made an examination of the premises and came to the conclusion that the window had not been securely fastened, and that the burglar had, by placing the lad der against the verandah, made his entrance stolen as the burglar had evidently been in the house but a short time Detective Reilly thinks that the work was done by profes- sional burglar who well knew his business.

The Disappearance of Joseph Lanzl-
 Mixed Theories.

The Disappearance of Joseph Lanzl-
 Mixed Theories.
 There is considerable doubt as to the fate of Joseph Lanzl, who was supposed to have been drowned at Norwich Monday night. He had made arrangements to buy marble yard, which was to be turned over te him Tuesday noon. The price was g, TOO. One theory is that he was murdered for the money which he was supposed to have with him. It appears, however, that while he lived in New London he claimed to have money deposit, and that circumstances led to an investigation of this claim, when no assets could be found. Some suppose that having carried his game in Norwich as far as he could he disappeared, leaving the articles found on the dock to cause Q belief that he had drowned himself Others believe that he committed suicide out of shame at his probable discovery. These say that a policeman near the dock heard splash in the water and cries for help. Search for the body has been intellectual.
