IL does look as if the live stock in d>Istry has more to contend with than any. other industry in this country, says an exchange. Tn the matter of hogs and cattle they have the Big Four and high freight rates to fight, and if 6 new and profitable market Is opened up to this country something or somebody steps in and shuts out the producer. Mexico for time was d fine field, and American cattle, hogs and horses were being shipped there by thousands, and with profit until MT.

An Alabama Ghost.

A ghost has caused divorce suit and broken up once happy family in Blount county, Alabama. About five years ago James Martin married Miss Noel, one of the bellies of the county. The young couple went to live at the old Martin home and all went well until about a year ago. Mrs. Martin, naturally very timid, heard a ghost rambling through the old house one night and was badly frightened. She told her husband about it, but he could hear nothing, he said. From that time it became a nightly visitor at the Martin home. Mrs. Martin wanted to leave the old house at once, but her husband objected, declaring the strange noises heard were made by rats. Several times Mrs. Martin, so she says, saw white robed figure wandering through the old house, and soon her nerves and health began to give way under the strain. She was finally pros trated by her fear of her ghost, and went to the home of her parents to recover her health and strength. Fear of the ghost overcame love of husband, and Mrs. Martin refused to live with him again. Martin tried in vain to induce his wife to return to the haunted house to live, but she refused, and he filed suit for divorce on the ground of abandon nent.-Chicago Times.

Lost in Detroit, Found in Boston.

There should be moral with a sharp point to the following episode, and, un- Hsop like, it will not be appended, but left to the reader to affix. A Fall River gentleman was last spring in Detroit. He went on Sunday evening to attend fashionable church, taking with him his religious views and a handsome silk ,lm- brella. The latter he left in the inside vestibule in an umbrella stand with numerous others, while the former he kept with him. The service being long, he went out a few seconds in advance of the benediction, and, on looking for his umbrella, found it not So, being an honest man, he took the next best one and went to his hotel. Last Friday while in Boston he stepped into the Parker house. There with others on a large settle hat rack stood his umbrella.
 He knew it, for besides the peculiar handle there on the gold plate were his name and address. He claimed his prop erty, explaining to the clerk at the desk. So the two watched for the man who should walk in and take the umbrella. Soon he came, lighted a cigar, buttoned his top coat, took the umbrella, and was stopped. "Whose umbrella is that, you want to know," he said when asked. ''Last spring was in church one even ing in Detroit, and some sneak stole my umbrella out of the vestibule, where left it, and 1 took the next best one. Next morning 1 found a fellows name on it, but that didn't make it leak, so l kept it." There was an explanation, and while the Fall River man got his unl- brella back, the other ono got new one at the expense of the man from the city of pindles.-Providence Journal.

The Bridegroom Disappeared.

Quite ripple of excitement has been stirred up in Westport over the indefinite postponement of a wedding. The par ties directly interested are members of the most exclusive society. Samuel Gault, the intended groom, is something of dude. His atfianced bride Miss May Warren, has ranked as a leading belfe The young couple became en- gagged about six months ago. and the invitation for grand wedding were cir culated. The guests assembled at the beautiful residence of the brides mother. At the time appointed for the nnptials, however, the bridegroom-elect failed to put in hls appearance, and he has not yet visited the home of the young lady, and she nor her friends can find the lightest trace of him.

WHO WILL BE TAX COLLECTOR 1: The Board of Finance and District
 Appointment of Jay II. Hart.

Committee May Not Confirm the
 Appointment of Jay H. Hart.
 A joint meeting of the board of finance of the city and the district committee of the Center school district will be held Friday nightto take action in regard to the appointment of Jay H. Hart as tax collector to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Loui, NJ. Meyer.
 Speculation is rife as to whether the joint meeting will confirm the appoint ment of Mir Hart. If a competent dem- ocrat wishes the position there is not much doubt but that he can have it, and this is as it should be. MT Meyer was the candidate of the democracy and was leected by handsome majority. Mir Hart is republican and was chosen for selectmen. He has filled the position in a very creditable manner for several years and the only objection to his ap- pointment now is the natural one that the retiring collector is democrat and his successor should be of the same political faith
 The following section of an act con- cerning the collection of taxes within the town of Water bury was enacted by the general assembly April 12, 1881, and has a direct bearing upon this case:
 Section 7. In case said tax collector shall neglect or refuse to execute the bonds herein required, within fifteen days after said first Monday in January, said office shall be deemed to be vacant, and said board of selectmen shall pro- ceed to fill said vacancy, a majority of said board at meeting duly warned for that purpose constituting quorum l; but such appointment by said selectmen shall not be valid and effectual, except as herein provided, until the same is approved and ratified by said board of finance and said district committee at joint meeting of said two last men, toned boards duly warned for that pur- pose by at least one member of each of said boards at least five days previous thereto. A majority of said board shall constitute a quorum at said joint meeting, and said joint meeting shall be held within twenty days after receiving notice of such appointment by said selectmen in each instance, and notice left with the clerk of each of said committee shall be deemed sufficient notice to said boards. and on failure of said boards to hold said joint meeting within the time afore- said the appointment of said selectmen shall be good and valid as if the same had been duly approved N the manner herein provided.
 The democrats control the key to the situation, having majority in both the board of finance and district committee, and if a suitable candidate presents him. self before the meeting of Friday night the selection made by the selectmen will not be confirmed. c. B. Webster and Martin Hellmann are mentioned in con- nection with the office, but whether either of the gentlemen cares for the position is not known.
 Whoever secures the plum must file a bond of $50. .00O.

Robbery at High Noon.

A sneak thief did a neat job at Mrs Lucy Borsts boarding house in Meriden yesterday. He went to the house about 10 o'cloekzand applied for board, saying he was to work in the Britannia shop and was recommended by Secretary Ventor of the Y. M. c. A. He said his baggage would arrive ip the afternoon. At noontime he left the dining room and boarder, Mrs J. E. H. Hicks, heard her dog barking in the hall. As she had shut the dog in her room, she went to it and saw that it had been ransacked
 The thief secured from Mrs Hicks room two valuable rings, purse containing money, revolver and pair of opera glasses. The police were notified, but did not succeed in capturil g him. He is about six feet tall, has smooth face and wore dark striped suit of clothes with light overcoat with light stripes.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
One of Representative O'Neill's Ta1
 Bills Knocked Out

One of Representative O'Neill's Tax
 Bills Knocked Out.
 The committee on finance yesterday afternoon reported unfavorably on the O'Neill bill imposing tax on savings banks deposits and surplus. Mir O'Neill said he introduced the bill for the pur- pose of raising $40O, ,00O. the amount now raised by a state tax. He thought that too many corporations escaped taxation and he also thought that two and one half mills on bank deposits was not sufficient. New York, New Hampshire and many other states imposed a five mill tax and did not exempt $50. .000 on deposits and S50,000 on surplus. He noticed that all towns in the state were taxed to the amount of from eight to thirty mills. He did not propose to op- pose the report of the committee, but he wished it understood that he had been given to understand that the finance committee would report in favor of tax ing private corporations enough in ad- dition to the present rate to raise the walk thought the deposits and surplus of savings banks should be exempt en- tirely from taxation. The bill was re- jected in the house and the senate con- cured.
 In the house to-day the bill of Mir Hyde exempting women from taxation was reported unfavorably by the judici- ary committee and rejected.
 A bill increasing the salary of George E. Terry, assistant state attorney of New Haven county, $250 a year, was passed
 In the senate extensively signed peti- tions from the city of Waterbury and the towns of Danbury and Bethel were received.

THE GANG WELL SYSTEM.

MT Bissen Explains a Few More
 Vital Points-The Larger the Con-
 sumption of Water the Less Would
 be the Proportfonate Expense of
 Maintaining the system.
 What will be the cost of adding to the capacity of the gang we'll system if the supply guaranteed in your proposition to the city be found insufficient to meet the demands in five or ten years?
 If it is found necessary to double the capacity or number of the wells at some future time will the cost of maintaining the system increase in the same propor- tion!
 Can your wells be sunk near the Cooke street reservoir and thereby save eN- pense in the laying of pipe?
 Would it not be better to build a small reservoir upon Town plot and sink the wells near the same place? In answer to the above questions bear ing directly upon the expense of main- taining the gang well system of water supply and adding to the ca pacity of the plant the DEMOCRAT has received the following communication from Mir J. NJ. Bissell
 Hartford, Conn.,, March 12, 1999 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 In answer to your first and second questions You will notice that my proposition provides for supply of l 1,25O, ,OOO gallons of water per day of ten hours. l should so construct the works that by running the same 24 hours a proportionally greater amount would be obtained, and that supply would prob ably be ample for great many years to come. An increase from that amount could be lad by putting in new wells Of course the cost of maintaining the system would not be increased in pro- portion to the amount of additional water obtained The plant and pump ing apparatus connected with it being already in, the larger the consumption the less would be the proportionate ex- pense of maintaining the system. As to whether the wells could be sunk near the Cooke street reservoir Wells can be sunk in most any place, but ex- perience shows that those sunk in rock or on hills do not produce desirable water for domestic use, and are not as permanent, nor is the water of as good quality as the supply taken from low lands.
 1 am not certain as to the situation of the town plot of which you speak, but if 1t is as 1 think back on high land, it would be open to the same objections as the location near the Cooke street reser- vOir.
 There may be other locations equally good for this purpose as the one suggest ed in my proposition, but having made | tests know that one to be very desir~ able, both as regards the size of the tract, the formation of the ground and the quantity, quality and permanence of the supply and the perfect filtration assured These are quite essential points to be con- sidered by your citizens.

A Specimen Interview Which Explains
 How Information Is Not Given.
 It was the evening of the graduating exercises Tn philanthropical institution. Said the reporter to the lady in charge rustling around in the dignity of new black silk:
 'How many graduates have you?"
 "Oh, dear me, are you a reporter? l just dread to See one coming in. They never get anything right. never knew one to. think they do it on purpose. It is. too mean for anything. hate"-
 But will you tell me the number of graduates?'
 ''Oh, ever so many, and they are just the brightest girls. Oh, it is such a won derful thing that this institution can educate them as,it does. It is perfectly splendid. don't suppose it's any use to tell you about it, for you won't get it right any way"
 "What do they graduate in?''
 ''Why, everything most. That's the idea of the institution, to make them so self reliant and ready for emergencies and"-
 "Who arc the patrons of the institu- tion!"
 ''Oh, nice people. Everybody, ought to be interested in it. They would be, too, if the papers took it up in the right way, but they won't. They never get anything right, the reporters-oh, can't tell you how they twist things"
 "How many instructors do you en- ploy?'
 "Oh, we have the loveliest teachers. I'll go and ask Miss B. to come and tell you about them. She knows them personally-al the little family history, you know. But of course we don't want you to publish that. Papers are just filed with every ones private affairs now. It is just horrid, but suppose the reporters don't care what they say if they just get their pay. Excuse me, I'll go and speak to Miss Smith," and she rustled away. The reporter waited while they counseled together, and approach. ing, heard: ''Oh, think she's lovely in that dress. You know advised her to put those revers on-so much more be. coming than plain waist. Oh, there's death telling him about these things You tell him about the teachers, won't you. dear, and put those violets up lit. tie nearer your chin"
 II? Why, don't know anything about it, and I'm too busy; I'm on the flower committee"
 "Well, we might as well let it go. I've told him all about it, but he'll get it all wrong, anyway. It is perfectly awful the way those reporters misconstrue things and never get anything right."- New York Sun.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Silver City polo team of Meriden will cross sticks with the Blues in the rink tomorrow night. The Meriden team is said to be a strong one.
 New Haven received one of the most signal defeats that she has suffered from Meriden this year at Meriden yesterday evening. The visiting team secured one goal, which they lost on fouls, while Meriden made six with ease. Newcombe and Cunningham rushed for Meriden and played a magnificent passing game They each made three goals. Bridge port took Springfield into camp at Bridgeport by the same score, 6 to o.
 The New Haven team as far as com pleted is as follows: Catchers, Cahill and Dillon pitchers, Danny Fitzgerald, Spence, Sullivan and possibly Corcoran and Sheehan outfield, Walsh, Brady and Galligan.
 The president of the National league has been authorized by the directors of the Boston base ball club to sign Merrill and Wise for their team this year and New York will have to look elsewhere for short stop.
 Secretary Bradin of the Atlantic league has been sizing up the clubs and what he has to say about them is of interest He writes that he considers the Worces- ter team the strongest in the association, with the Newarks second. He thinks Jersey City will be weak in the oox and that Lowell has a promising team. He is also of the opinion that the teams will be more evenly matched than those of the old Central league, and that Newark and Jersey City will meet with many surprises during the season. Mir Bradin considers the New Ravens the weakest team in the league, judging from the men already signed by Manager Spence:

THE SECOND REGIMENT TRIP.
G and A Recommend the
 Niagara Triu


 Niagara Trip.
 At business meeting of Companies G and A last night the matter of the proposed reg mental excursion was dis cussed and by vote it was decided to rec ommend the Niagara trip as follows:
 From New Haven to Jersey City by night boat; up the West Shore road in the morning to Newburg where two hours will be given for dinner and for visiting Washington's headquarters ; thence to Albany where the evening will be spent; leave there at midnight for Rochester where breakfast can be obtained 1; thence to Niagara Falls for the rest of the day return to Buffalo or Syracuse for supper; reach Troy on the morning of the third day; thence return by the West Shore and the boat to New Haven, reaching home the morning of the fourth day. or come b! rail by the New England, the Housatonic and the Derby and reach New Haven the evening of the third day.
 In case this trip is decided upon the local companies twill suggest burg visit be given up and that the reg ular oat up the Hudson be taken, thus giving a fine sail to the regiment.
 The other plan suggested by the off cers of the regiment is as follows To Jersey City by night !; thence to Wash ington, where the afternoon and even ing will be spent; next morning visit Mount Vernon ;spend half of the third day in Philadelphia and Baltimore re- turn by boat, reaching New Haven the morning of the fourth day. It is thought tsat the trip chosen by the Waterbury companies is the one which a majority of the companies of the regiment will prefer. If that be the case the regimen tai officers will undoubtedly adopt it at their next meeting.
 Both companies appointed committees to arrange for series of entertainments to raise money to help pay the expenses attending the excursion. The Light Guards of New Haven voted last evening in favor of the Washington | trip.
