ACCORDING TO Senator Carlisle, every
man, woman and child. white and black. in
the United States Is taxed $40 by the exist
ing tariff This is by no means an exagger-
ated estimate, aud as at least four-flths of the
amount 90 into the pockets OF the protect
ed mino and factory owners. and only about
one-fif, b into the governments treasury
the extent to which the many are puudered
for the ben. f, of the favored few can be
seen at glance. But then, 1t must be re-
membered that the benefcisries of the tariff
supplied the money that bought the Pfss!-
dency at the last election.

RUNNING : HOTEL.

How SOc,ety Wnnrt Was Forced Into
 Working P"sition.
 There is a w0ll-known society woman in Butfalo-one feela like apologizing for that term, but what else can one say of a woman who really is widely known as one of the most delightful women that has ever graced American society? who has just taken the housekeeper's charge of a hotel It happened in this way: One of the best known hotels in this city belongs to the family estate. and, although in the hands of a nro. prietOr, receives the general oversight of the owners. 4 few days ago hastv word was sent up to the home of the family, early in the morning, that the proprietor had decamped in the night, and, worse yet, had carried all the provender with him. There were two hundHed guests in the house who would have to be fed, and somebody would have to take the helm immediately. Now, this very charming woman had taken the helm of many enterprises before. but never one of just this mag- n1tude. Down to the hotel she marched. however, went into consultation with the steward, gave him an order on the grocery stores for the necessary articles of food, and when the first guest came down to Lis breakfast he never sus- pectcd that it had been set before him through the efficiency of one of the most prominent women in Buffalo so- cietY. No one else appeared to take up the household management of the hos telry. This woman had the leisure of the unmarried woman, and so she has gone on with the work. What before was the dutyof the proprietor-the gen eral management of affairS-now falls upon her. While she does not expect to take up bookkeeping as profession, she is still at it, and successfully at it, and the Buffalonians are all Hooking to the hotel to eat dainty viands that are lightful women as caterer.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Bursting of n Nnricose Vein Causes
 Death.


 While coming down stairs at her home in New Haven, yesterday after noon, Mrs Mary J. Higgins burst blood vessel in her right leg just above the ankle, and bled to death. For years she has suffered with varicoSe veins and on August 25 one of them burst and she lost much blood. Yesterday the family was engaged in moving to house across the street when the injury occurred. The women did all they could to stop the flow of blood and summoned phy- sicIan, but Mrs Higgins had lost so much blood that he could do nothing for her and she soon eXpIred.
 A night or two since as Louis Mink witz was going cross lots in Meriden, from the malleable iron shop to his home up that way, frivolous bull belonging to James M. Bartlett sized him up and went for him. The result was that the man was tossed in the air, and though no bones were broken on his falling he will be confined to his bed for few days to come.
 John Clark of Preston. a farmer, was struck by freight train near Jewett City last evening while the train was making flying switch" and killed. He was a bachelor, sixty years old and well-to-do.
 Elmer Deming of Wallingford and a lady friend were sailing on Community lake yesterday afternoon and noticed on the bank, at what is known as the "Point," what upon clear examination proved to be.a mans hat, coat and cane, laid together near the water. In the coat pocket was found a briarwood pipe Who the owner of the articles is is as yet mystery, as there was no one to be seen about the lake and it was thought that the owner might have committed suicide by drowning. Sheriff Rod Austin was notified and last evening was, with Mir Deming, at the lake Investigating.

wALLER THE COMING MAN.
wm Be Nominated In spite of His
 OhiectlouR.

win Re Nominated In spite of Ills
 Objections.
 X New York Herald correspondent had m interview with eN-Governor Waller, yesterday, upon the situation in Connecticut. He spoke encouragingly of the prospects for democratic success, and felt sure that with proper degree of effective work victory was assured. When asked if he was a candidate for governor he replied that he was not and produced a letter which he had just written to Clinton B. Davis. chairman of the democratic state central commit mittee. in which he assured him that the pressure of private interests prevented his becoming the nominee of the party.
 "But suppose. governor, that the con- vention should ignore your declination and insist that you should lay aside per sonal interests for a time and should, us it were, force the nomination upon you, what then?"
 Well, to some extent that would al- ter the case. While, as l have already said, the honor Is not coveted or even desired, yet out of the deference tu pub lie pressure, or on the score of policy, 1t might become incumbent for me to alter my resolve, but no such conditions at present prevail.
 "Whom do you think the republicans will nominate to head their state ticket:
 ''Well. the choice now appears to be between Merwin and Bulkeley, with the chances very much in favor of Merwln. The soldier element Is preJudlced against Bulkeley, and they are just nu- merous enough to almost hold the balance of power as against him. Bulkeley in the last campaign, 1t Is said, spent about $90, ,000 to pull through, and with this experience fresh in mind 1t would not seem that he would care to repeat it. Merwin is conservative man and would not work so hard for the prize as would Bulkeley. As to the re lative merits of the men there Is but little difference so far as 1t would effect democratic prospects,.
 Continuing Governor Waller said the party could do no better than to run Luz0n Morris of New Haven, with a Hartford man for lieutenant-goVernor. and John J. Phelan of Bridgeport, for secrCtarv of state. The secret ballot law, he thought, would operate against the republican party, especially ln the manufacturing towns.
 The interviewer next sought Clinton B. Davis, chairman of the state commit tee. who was asked his views as to the coming candidate. He replied unhesi- tatingly, "Waller is the man" "but have just come from Mir Wal ler's office and was there shown n letter intended for you, positively declining the nomination Ill case 1t should be rendered."
 The convention, when it meets on the 16th inst, will promptly overrule all Mir Walters objections and put him in the race, His name and ability are a tower of strength to the party, and no other candidate stands a ghost of a chance. We shall simply fall back on our past record and re-enunciate the platform of previous conventions. Enthusiasm is unhoupded throughout | the state

An ImprOmptu Reception to he Ac-
 corded Him This Evening.
 Yesterday a committee consisting of Rev Father Walsh and several laymen went to New York to meet Father Null cahv provided he arrived. As no infor- nation has been received for two weeks, it was question whether or not he had sailed.
 At o'clock to-day a short message came saying Father Mulcahy would reach Waterbury this evening, but no reference was made to the train on which he would come. Under the cir cumstances it was determined 10 arrange for an informal welcome, and word has been sent out to the committee on preliminary arrange ments, the committee on reception and the chief officers of the various parish societies to meet at the Nauga- tuck depot in time for the arrival of the o'clock train. The band has been en- gagged and the members of all the societies are requested to be on hand in their proper regalia. The procession will proceed directly to the priests house where welcome speech from Father Walsh will be delivered. All parishioners are invited to be present. and greet their pastor on his return.

WORLD OF SPORTS

The New Haven ball club is said to have been losing money since the last week in June. and since the most recent withdrawls from the Atlantic associa- tion the attendance has still farther fallen off. To cut down expenses Schoe- neck has been released and Lally will hereafter play first base. The Register predicts that other releases are likely to follow that of the big and high-priced first baseman.
 Zimmers record for catching consecu- tive games is lila number made famous by the Louisville team of 1889, which lost that number of games. Dowse caught for Cleveland yesterday, and. oddly enough, the game was lost.
 Charles Comiskey is said to have re- marked that he is lost in the Chicago Players League club, owing to the many stars that are in the team, and that he has become tired of their lazy antics He is also sick and tired of the way things are running and will retire from the Players league at the close of the season.
 While in Philadelphia on Wednesday Won der Ahe tried to secure Third Base man Lyons, who has been suspended by the Athletics. Lyons wanted $500 for the balance of the season. He said he would give him $500 and then he would have to guarantee Won der Ahe that he would remain with him. Lyons was not signed.
 Dubuque's released manager, McCaull, has borrowed leaf from recent base ball history, and will Ihave his salary for the season or sue the club.
 Burkett is probably booked for re- lease from New York. He is a heavy hitter and would make good fielder. but as pitcher he is failure.

INcENDIARY FIRE AT NEW HAVEN
The Wire Goods Company Burned Out
 This Morning.

NEW HAVEN. Sept 5.-The largest fire which has occurred in New Haven for years broke out this morning about 1 o'clock. Flames were discovered in the upper floor of the building of the New Haven Wire Goods company on State street and although the firemen soon had the fire under control the building was badly burned and the greater portion of it's stock destroyed.
 It appears to have been an incendiary fire. A few minutes before the flames were discovered the watchman of a neighboring carriage factory saw Victor Mulich. nephew of the foreman of the Wire Goods company, leave the building and hurriedly run up the street. It is known that the young man has had trouble with his uncle, and it is supposed that he started the flames out of spite. He is under arrest. The exact loss can not be estimated at this time but will, it is thought, exceed S4D ,000.

John Thompson Is the Candidate or
 the Fourth Ward Club.
 The democratic primary elections will be held this evening, the polls being open from 1 to 9 o'clock, and lively times are looked for in the second and fourth wards. There will be two tickets in the field in the second ward and if the results in former years can be used as basis of an opinion, the ticket en- gineered by James E. Russell stands the best chance of winning. The oppo- position have gained strength this year. however, and stand a better chance of winning than ever before. There will be two tickets in the old fourth ward. The regular Fourth ward club ticket is headed by John Thompson, Dublin street, for alderman. Another ticket, called worklngmen s and taxpayers ticket is also headed by the name of Mir Thompson, \ circular signed by that gentleman has been circulated stating that the use of his name has been unauthorized, and that the ticket was gotten up to deceive. The ticket iS pronounced to be under the auspices of Miles F.Connolly. For week back Connolly has been working tooth and nail to effect a compromise by which he will be allowed to have candidates of his own selection, to the shrievalty con Vention. The Fourth ward club would have nothing to do with him or his schemes and he will fight it out at the polls. The result of the elections Tn the second and fourth wards will be awaited with more than usual interest. In the first ward everything is quiet on the surface. In the third, one ticket names Michael Begnal as alderman. There is said to be another ticket in the field backed by D. J. Mahoney.

 There is much talk over the treatment which the young lady who was engaged by the managers of the state Normal school at New Britain as instructress in the gymnasium has received by the management This young lady was en- gagged for a stipulated sum and a term winch extends to the holidays. Tuesday she arrived in New Britain from her home in Youngstown, Ohio, in company with her older sister, and reported at the school. where she was showed over the building. had her duties explained to her, and was told to be on hand the next day for duty. That evening the princi- pal sent note to her sister asking to see her at once. The sister went and was told that, after giving the matter some consideration, he, the principal, had de- cided not to keep her sister in the position for which she had been hired by the state board, but would pay Der u months salary and her expenses and send her back home. The only reason assigned was that she was too homely, as the professor expressed it. It is said by those who met her that, while she was exceedingly plain, she was of very engaging manners and soon endeared herself to all who met her. Her fitness for the place WAS not and could not be questioned.

Concerning the water taken from a Fair Haven well used by families in which there are cases of typhoid fever, Professor Smith reports: ''There was a moderate amount of dark-colored sedi- mept, consisting of cotton flores, a few fragments of animal hair, bits of wood, a few filamentous algfe, animalcules and vegetable debris. While this matter does not show the gross pollution found in some of the wells of this city, it con tains too much organic matter and in my opinion is not safe drinking water" "
