Her Arm Crushed By me Cars.

Marie Lapepina, 52 years of age, of 206 Wallace street, an Italian woman, had her right arm frightfully crushed by freight car near Mallory & Wheeler Co.'s lock shop on East street yesterday morning. She was sitting on the end of flat freight car resting when Engineer Fred Hinckley with switch CT kicked another flat car on which was large boiler down towards the car on which the woman was sitting. When the two cars came together the jar started the car on which the woman was sitting and threw her off and before she could get out of the way the front wheels of the car ran over her arm. She was removed to the hospital where her arm was amputated and she will probably

RETRENcHmENT AND REFORM


 Prominent Citizens Ask for a Reduc- ton of fTaxatisn-Whaft the Commit-
 tee Rec0mmend.
 The Committee on Retrenchment, Reforms and Abuses met in rooms 10 and Il City Hall last evening, Alderman J. c. Bradley presiding.
 The purpose of the meeting, which is the first held by this committee during the pres snt year, was to hear parties interested in petition before the Court of Common Coun- cil asking for 8 reduction of the city taxesa
 E. F. Mersick, of the firm of English & Mersick, stated to the committee that the petition was signed by thirty-four manufac- turing firms employing ten thousand opera tives and representing one sixteenth of the taxable property of New Haven. The peti- ton, he said, was not presented in spirit of fault finding, but with desire, if possible, to obtain reasonable reduction of taxes. For the past two years, said he, the expen- ditures by the Board of Public Works had been nearly $200, 1000 per year, and it ap- peared to him that some of these expendi- lures could have been deferred.
 Alderman Spreyer said to the committee that the city had been growing very fast and horse railroads and other corporations are continually asking for abatement of assess ments. There had been no protest against paving Whitney avenue, but there had been against constructing the boulevard sewer. He did not see where the taxes could be re- duced. There are now many orders passed by the Common Council that could not be carried out for the want of funds.
 | B. Sargent referred to the fact that when he came to New Hsss<en Hs<en the taxes were quite low and he was assured by Mayor >Xelch at that time that they would never in his opi7l-> ion be onerous. New Haven taxation was not so onerous as in Bridgeport where there is much complaint. He was aware that it was very hard for the Common Council to resist the pressure for needed city improve ments The pressure being great the orders are passed aud then there is no money to car " them out. He thought this was wrong and that the city's business should be con ducted on sound principles and no more money to pay for.
 Eli Whitney, ST., said: I think that the taxes can be reduced without any detriment to the eity's interests. There are many pro posed improvements that might be de- fsrred at least until times are better. In re ply to Mr. Spreyer he said he thought the Whitney avenue pavement might have been deferred, and the boulevard sewer also.
 Mr. Sargent said that while he would not urge any niggardly contraction of expendi- lures on the part ot the fire and police de- partnents, yet there were ways in which money could be saved-by not spending it. He said there were very few manufacturers that had made the interest on their capital the past year. ssI know have not,n said MT. Sargent esI know, too, that when taxes are high the laboring men are the ones that suffer in consequence
 In nexecutive session A1derman Daley moved that the committee recommend to the Board of Finance that in making their estimates for ISS6 they keep the rate of taxation as near tan mills as possible, keeping in mind the absolute wants of the city

where John EngIe made a Mistake.

John Engle, g witness for the State in the recent case against Sohumaker for violation of the liquor law, returned to New Haven last week after the trial, and found that his absence to attend court had cost him his place where he had been employed. He re- turned to Hartford, where he thought he would be taken care of until he should sue cssd in obtaining another position, and he selected Mrs. Schumaker's house. To keep him without any payment on his part was more than the hostess could stand, and when explanations were attempted, Engle became enraged and abusive. He broke the peace and pane or two of glass for which the police court at Hartford yesterday morning charged him $5 and costs

STEAD.

LONDON, Nov. The trial Of Mr..
Stead and other defendants in the Arm
strong abduction case was resumed to-
day before Justice Lopes. The Judge.
In his charge to the jury, urged them to
bring in verdict according TO law, and
not to allow their personal sympa hies
to Influence their decision. MIR. Stead,
Justice Lopes said. illed the Pal Nal
Gazette with filthy, disgusting articles
of an obscene natDre. The publica-
tions were not connected with the pres
ent charge. The only material ques-
ton for the jury 10 decide was whether
the child Eliza was taken away from
her home against her fathers will.
They were also TO determine whether
the mother sold her child to the prison
ers a. alleged by the defendants.
The jury retired at $40 p. m. The
foreman asked the Judge before the
jury left their serts to allow them to
dls,inguish between Mrs. Jarrett and
Mr.. Stead as to their criminal liability
Ia the case, II the jary concluded that
Mrs. Jarrett had disobeysd the instruo-
sions of MIR. Stead.
The jury brought in a verdict Of
guilty" against Stead and Rebecca
anu uuo
Booth. The jury returned to the court
room at 6:40 O'clock with their verdict.
They agreed that Stead and Mrs. Jar
rett took Eliza Armstrong from her
home against her fathers will, but
could not agree as to whether Mrs.
Jarrett obtained tbs child by false pre-
tencss. They also agreed that the
mother did not sell her child as alleged

respect the contrast being a most favor
able one with that of the election of

the greatest ever cast at a school cleo
tion IN this city-or Territory either.
Shortly after the opening of the polls,
Mr.. Briscoe withdrew from the contest,

osived by each candidate were as belsw
