SHOE BOX MYSTERY.

The Missing Peddler-Lfncoln'sN 1ys.
ferrous Disclosures and His Disap-
pearance-Coroner mix Reticent-
Mabel Preston Released.
It is now believed that the Wallingford
mystery is in fair way to be clea red up al
last. Miss Mabel Preston, the woman arrested
in Hartford Thursday night ON suspicion OF
being implicated in the murder, was yester-
day INTERCEPTED by Coroner Mix at his Office,
but failing to obtain any evidence touching
on the case he released her. It is now be-
lieved that the victim was Hebrew jewelry
peddler. He was probably killed for his
money. 1t is suspected that the murder was
committed in notorious house of ill-fame in
the suburbs of Wallingford kept by man
named John Shields. Shields had been
building a new house, his old one having
been burned down.
The State officers are after a man named
Henry Lincoln, who it is stated will prove a
most valuable witness. Lincoln did not have
any hand in the murder, but he knew all
about it, as he helped cut the body of the vic
tim SO that it could be packed in the shoe
box conveniently,
Lincoln, it is said, offered to give the story
of the murder away for certain sum of
money. The murder was probably commit
ted for the purpose of robbery, the ped
dler had several hundred dollars on his per-
son. The mystery to all appearances is
slowly unwilling. Coroner Mix is very reti-
cent, but is thought to have many valua-
BILE facts bearing on the mystery.
The name of the murdered peddler is not
known as yet, although it will no doubt be
learned soon. The State expects to have the
name in day or two and then if they sue
coed in catching the parties the coroners
work will have Keen finished.

A STEAMER ON FIRE.

The New Brunswick Aklaxe At Sea
With over One Hundred Passenger
On Board.
DIGBY, N. S., Oct. by esterday after
noon the steamer New Brunswick of the
International line, plying between here and
Boston, left for Boston about p. m. with
over one hundred passengers. To-day the
lighthouse keeper reports that the steamer
was off Front Cove and remained nearly sta
tionary until after dark. A little after dark
rockets were seen issuing from the steamer
and then fire burst from where the steamer
was supposed to be. Two fishing captains
corroborated the lighthouse keepers story
1t is thought by some that the boiler may
burst because if the steamer had taken fire
the bay calm and the boats could have
reached the shore. Evidently something
has happened to the New Brunswick, as all
agree that before dark she remained in the
same place for hours. Many persons having
friends aboard are wild with suspense.
The steamer New Brunswick, Captain
Colby, was built at New York in 1860. She
is 22o feet in length, 81 feet beam and has
net tonnage Of $3.50. OF tons with 400 nomi-

1t is quite easy to understand why
the large corporations Of all kinds,
the railroads, and the mlllionaires
Of the country. advocate such IN cas-
urcs as the Blair Bill, or any
measure Of the kind which appro-
PIRATES an assumed surplus in the
Federal Treasury for schools, or for
any other purpose.
In appropriations made by states
or counties for the support Of schools
the taxes collected are paid adval-
orem and each individual or corpora
ton is taxed according to what he
is worth.
But in a distribution of q surplus
by the Federal Government derived
from the tariff, or indirect taxatio N,
all have to pay on what they
consume. without regard to the value
OF their property. Hence the man
who is worth $4,000, 900, if he be
economical, need pay no more than
the man worth one dollar, if their
families are of the same size. The
tariff tax is a tax on articles consum-
ed by the people.

been Struggling to prevent it, with
a view of having competing lines.
The citizens Of that city are deter

what they can do now we do not
see. 1t is the policy of most Of the
existing Railroad COMPANIES to throt-
tie new railroad enterprises unless
the old companies win be benefited
by their construction, but if they
canuot do this, they then buy them
up so as to prevent legitimate COM

not possible to carry even a West

In Tennessee protection and the

lndissolubly joined. Our esteemed

one day in favor of tariff for pro-

appropriations tor State schools.

indorses the "Rforts of Representa-

Concerning the measure known as

Tennessee Convention demands ''that
