GRERNE,s RECORD.
Tho vOluntown Tragedy.

Tho VOluntOWn Ifo&e0ys
 NORWICH, March 23.-Greene, who was shot by Ira E. Briggs, had worked for Briggs father about year and a half. He has com- plained of pains in his head for several months. He was not @ drinking man, but when enraged he rssorted to the use of his pocket knife. About ten years ago he severely stabbed a man named LeHingwell, who was jealous of him, but was not prosecuted on account of the scandal public trial would raise. He always harbored e cordial hatred for Leffingwell and had said not long ago to his employer:
 'If Lefingwell should cross my path would kill him as quick as I would snake! A short time ago . nsighbor called at the Briggs bari to get . horse. When spoken to Greene took no notice of the neighbor, and when he was made aware of his presence he said:
 II cannot hear anything and I do mol seem to know anythingi"
 The most charitable interpretation of MT. Greene's threat on Saturday would seem to be that 1t was the result of an insane freak, The only chance left to MT. Ira E. Briggs was to slay his sssailant, as there was nc way of escaping from the fire room. When Greene's body was raised, just aftel he was shot, an open knife was found lying beneath his right shoulder. It was black. handled jack knife, with blade two and { half inches long, with a keen edge and equal to the execution of the threat whict Greene had made.

HANDsOMR AND QUKENLY. A Nurses Petty Thieving In Hartford
 Families.

Miss Minnie E. Mitchell, professional
 nurse, of Hartford, has been found guilty of
 great deal of petty thieving in various fam
 flies where she has served. She has been
 obliged to return the certificate and badge
 given her by the Hartford hospital. No one
 would suspect Miss Mitchell of being thief.
 She is an unusually 6ne-looking woman, al-
 ways we'll dressed ,tall and of queenly carriage.
 In manner and look she appeared @ gentle- woman and made good impression wherever she was employed. The constable, MT. Heth- erton, employed in the case by Mrs. Fuller,
 one of the victims, finally suspected Miss Mitchell and he went to her boarding place. His heart almost failed him when he came face to face with the handsome and refned- looking woman, but he felt so sure of him. self that he decided to spring the charge. When she learned his business she indig- nantly denied all knowledge of Mrs. Tullers stolen property. MT. Hetherton replied that he should have to make search of her rooms. Then she quailed, confessed that she
 had stolen the things and handed them over to him. The hospital certificate was also
 demanded. This she reluctantly gave up. He made her sign statement that she was an unworthy person to hold 1t. The little badge was not got at this time, as MT. Heth- erton was not told about it until he returned the certificate to the hospital officers. This he got at a Aecond visit. Miss Mitchell is
 about thirty years of age. wears glasses and seems to be an educated and accomplished woman. She convsrses well and could easily deceive anyone. Miss Mitchell and her | mother are said to have left Hartford for New York.

THE TOWN SUES sHEFF.

Friendly Sult Against she Scientific
 School Upon . Q uesti0n of Taxation.
 The supreme court has been appealed to by Judge Robinson of the superior court to give decision in the suit of the town against the Sheffield scientific school of Yale uni versity. Messrs. Pigott & Pardee represent the town in the legal battle and ex Governor Ingersoll defends the scientific school. The question is one of taxation of the property known as Nos. 167 and 169 Church street, No. 46 Elm street, a lot on Church street. a lot on Gregson street, and eiRhty-three shares of Tradesmsn's bank stock. This property was assessed by the town assessors in October last for about $40, ,000. The mat. ter was one of doubt to the assessors and the seleotmen, but Pigott & Pardee. the towns counsel, said the property was not exempt from taxes for the reason that it was not in practical use for school purposes. The board of trustees of the Sheffield scientific school consulted ex-Govarnor Ingersoll and he de- cided the property in question was exempt. The case is friendly one and has been, given to the supreme court as a more ch6kp and amiable method of settlements. 2
