Shocking Fate of mrs. Henry HepPAe
 nm old Widow Lady of Grand Ave-
 nue.
 A shocking accident occurred on Gland avenue between and 2 o'clock yesterday at- ternoon. Soon after an alarm of fire was sounded The blaze was in a small story ad- dition to the brick building No. SIS. The apartments were used by an old widow wo- man, Mrs. Hepple, 72 years old. When the neiehbors arrived they found her on little bed near the stove and about her everything
 was afire A few blankets were thrown upon
 her and the fire with difficulty was extin-
 guished. Tbe clothing was nearly burned
 from the old lady's body. The burns about
 the body were very severe. In some places
 the limbs are burned black. The poor old
 form was laid out and covered with some bed clothing which had been saved from the bed. Her clothing had undoubtedly caught afire frem the stove.
 AS soon as the terrible fate of the old lady was known, large crowd collected about the street, It was evident to all that hel burns were SO serious as to be fatal. The DO | lice ambulance was summoned. At the nos pital an examination showed that oeatL l would occur in a few hours. The old lady'i l body was burned nearly all over and sh' l must have inhaled sufficient flame to kill hel l even if the exterior burns should not prove | fatal. She died at 3:11.

A QUARTERLY REVIEW.
The Connecticut BibIe SOcieIy-Meet- ing of Finance Committee.

The Connections Bible S0cfetY-Meet.
 ing of Finance Committee.
 A quarterly meeting of the finance com- mittee of the Connecticut Bible society was held in Hartford on Saturday, the 22d inst. The review of the last thres months showed substantial and valuable results in each field of labor. Messrs- Struthers and Morrison of the Hartford Theological seminary, who la bored successfully for the society during the summer, have returned to their studies and some new laborers have been enlisted. The present visiting force consists of five men. A French missionary, who has had a suc- cessful experience elsewhere, has been em- ployed to labor among his countrvmen, of whom there are many thousands in the State.
 The pastors and churches, who really do the most themselves to reach the unevangelized, seem to prize most highly the labors of these trained and skillful visitors, not only on &C., count of the many persons persuaded to 6 Christian life, but for the encouragement of the churches and as an indictment to in- creased activity.
 The society under it's new charter has been appropriately called Bible society, Sum- day school society and missionary society combined. Perhaps Q tract society ought to
 
 visitors some carefully selected tracts to be judiciously used, while 1t supplies the Bible to the destitute, organizes mission Sunday schools, establishes neighborhood prayer meetings, carries Christian influences to every human hsbitation and wins many to Christ.
 The Christian public and all friends of good order and morality are reminded, as they arrange their charities for the ensuing year, that this society is not mentioned in the denominational lists, and consequently in the intense pressure for denominationai charities it is very generally lost sight of Moreover, unlike most benevolent societies, it employs no officers solely to collect funds. The whole management, the section and direction of the visitors, opening their fields of labor, and frequent assistance in those fields, as well as the raising of funds to pay them, devolves on single in dividual; and so thorough is this economy practiced, that the annual cost of the whole is less than $4, 500. More than double that amount could be used in the same econimi- cal way to the great benefit of the State. Still the society is greatly embarrassed for lack of funds, and while there is an increas- ing demand for it's work and an unusual number of labofers are offering their ser- vices, it not only cannot enlarge it's opera tions, but must cut down the number alx

CITY AND TOWN

The Generalization scheme Discussed. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 At this time, when the consolidation of town and city is being discussed, it is well to inquire into the matter carefully and fully. The town, as has been said, appears as a1 "original political entity" The towns of the State were incorporated October 10, 1859, by the general court; the act being little more than recognition of rights previously existing, but highly important, as it defined the limits of local jurisdiction, by instituting a local tribunal in each town" says Hollister, in his history of Connecticut.
 Thus for two hundred and fifty years they have stood the test and served the cummun- ity we'll. They have been the admiration of people, as possessing fully the powers of self government, where each citizen has equal power in voice and vote.
 When population has become great, cities have been incorporated and clothed with cer- tain powers needed for the management of the affairs of dense communities, yet over and around them the town has steadily held the power of that sovereignty resident in each individual member Of the community, hold ing it's appointed servants to a strict account ability, commenting or reproving as occasion required, both at the ballot box or in town meeting assembled Thus power has ever been kept near the people, and any high handed act or serious InWart1Dg or Lne DuOllc will has been avoided.
 The officials of cities, as such, may at times get little restiye over fancied cur tailment of their rights and privileges, but the individual will feel safer and better in the knowledge that his hand is evern near the throttle lever, especially in matters of expen- diture. The town meeting IS the embodi- ment of freedom for speech and action, but the rule of the city is necessarily for the re- moval from the individual, his rights hav- ing been, in @ sense, transferred by his own act to the keeping of others.
 It is difficult to perceive what benefit will accrue, then, to the individual by the aboli"" ton of the town. As to expense, all public service must be paid for, and if the town, through it's agent (held to strict accountabil- ity as before stated), does not provide ways and means for certain needed service and necessary Improvements, the city, through it's agents or officials, must. Ofdc- ials are quite likely to feel more generous in outlay than they would as mere individuals, and taxes would naturally increase, and then the town and city lines not being at present co-terminous, the plan of consolidation would compel the minority in the district between the boundaries, unless some com~ promise is effected, to share alike in all in- debtedness without enjoying any of the par ticular and greater advantages of the more densely populated district. There can be no saving of expense as whole; power will be concentrated in the hands of the few, and the people will have parted with portion of tneir power should consolidation prevail.

WHO PROF, FISKE IS.
The Man Who Will Get the Vast Fort une that Cornell University Lost.

une that Cornell University Lost.
 Philadelphia Records Washington Letter.
 Prof. Willard Fiske, formerly Librarian of Cornell University, in whose favor the long contest over his wife's will has just been de- cided, is now living with his aged mother in Italy. Last Summer friend of mine found him in the palace just outside of Florence which the late George P. Marsh occupied part of the time while he was our Minister to Italy. Old Mrs. Fiske was the village mill- Iner when the Professor was a small boy.
 His father had died while he was still young and his mother had all she could do to sup port herself much less to educate her son.
 But like many another American mother with the heroism which is only 'fpatience for one moment more," she did both until she had got her boy into Hamilton College. There he was able being bright and indust- rious and simple in his needs to put himself through the course. Baysrd Taylor, who was his college mate suggested that he go abroad and make & special study of some language and literature. Fiske thereupon went to Upsal, in Sweden where he mastered Scandinavian and it's learning. Returning he became an assistant librarian in the Astor Library, remaining there l think until he went to Cornell University.
 MT. Fiske became good deal of a Bohem- ian of the literary sort. He was emphatically a mans man caring nothing for women ap- parently. No one thought of his marrying Miss Jennie McGraw, the rich heiress of Ithaca, except President Andrew D. White, who as the friend of both and of Cornell University, brought Prof. Fiske and Miss McGraw together in Berlin while he was our Minister there and married them from the American Legation. Mrs. Fiske died year, leaving her husband who had probably never before had $500 in hand at one time $500, 600, and the balance of her fortune about $1, 800, 900, to Cornell University. Up to this time Prof. Fiske had seemed as indifferent to money as to women.
 He might have remained content with his $500, 900 legacy, I am told to this day if it
 had not been for personal friction between him and some of the trustee of Cornell who
 had not treated him very kindly. But their conduct so irrated his feelings that he de- termined to prevent Cornell from getting his wife's bequest. The sharp eye of Gov.
 David B. Hill then practising law in Elmira discovered the clause in Cornell's charter which forbids the University's holding more than $3, 900, 900 as endowment. This limit had been reached when Mrs. Fiske made her
 beqnest and so, Gov. Hill argued the whole estate must go to Prof. Fiske. The courts have agreed with and so Prof. becomes a millionaire. I am told by Cornell men that the trustee who offended him will be held responsible by most of the alumni for the course which Prof. Fiske has pursued so successfully and which has cost Cornell not only his wife's legacy but that which he would probably have left in his own will.

The Floren ce Taylor Case.

Dr. W. W. Hawkes., who attended Miss Florence Taylor when she committed suicide at the Pavilion hotel, said yesterday that the reason her ante-mortem statement was not taken was because he did not find Medical Ex- aminer White at home, and when he got back to the hotel she was dead. The girl took the poison at Il and died at o'clock. Dr. Hawkes. says that the examination made by him and Medical Examiner White showed that the young woman was not and had not been en ceinte.
 Coroner Mix said yesterday: "As far as am concerned I did not take the Taylor girls ante-mortem statement simply De- cause she died before any word was brought to me. It was the duty of the attending physician when he discovered the nature of the case to report it at once to the medical examiner. In case the gentleman could not be found it was the duty of the attending physician to report the matter to the coro- her. This he did not do. That's all I can say on the subject"
