DOMESTIC TROUBLES
Which Exist Between Superpumer-
AIRY Hayden and His Wife.

Supernumerary Policeman Hayden, re-
Gently appointed, was arrested yesterday
at the United States hotel, his temporary
residence. He was taken before Justice
Doolittle of Hamden and released on bonds
of $50. He engaged as counsel c. II. Hay
den, who states as follows regarding the
case: Three weeks ago when Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayden were residing on Jordan street his
wife left him with three small children,
one being i'll at the time with measles
Ascertaining that she had gone to the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Rotch-
ford, in Hamden, he went there to
see her, but was denied admittance.
He then wrote several times asking her to
return, with no success. Last Thursday
he went out with horse and carriage to
the house and, asking her to return, took
her up in his arms and placed her in the
carriage and brought her to the hotel,
where she has since lived with him AMIGA
bly,, having several times gone out to walk
and apparently on the best of terms.
Yesterday Constable Malta of Hamden
arrested him as above stated on the COM
plant of her brother, Thomas Rotchford,
charging Hayden with assaulting, beating
and striking his wife. The defendant
claims that she returned with him willing
~ and that he used no violence whatso-
ever. Mr.. Hayden's idea in bringing his
wife to this city was that he had the right
to the care and custody of his wife, and
was Untitled to her services.
When he went out to Hamden Yesterday
he brought back some of her apparel at
her own request. She has run away sew
eral times before.

ANOTHER NINE HORROR.

Over One Hundred Lives Lost I'm Sat.
days Disaster In Nova Scotia-Deep.

| SPRING HILL MINES, N. s., Feb 22.-By
a tremendous explosion in the east slope
of the Spring Hill mine Saturday after
| noon one hundred lives were lost. The
| cause of the explosion is SO far unex-
planned. To-day the effect of yesterdays
disaster is felt acutely. Grief is depicted
on every face. The work of recovering
the bodies was pushed forward and the
searching party entered the mine at II
o'clock last night A number of bodies
were taken up and to-day the work is 60
brought up more rapidly and it is expect
ed that most of the bodies will be out of
the pits to-day except those which are
buried beneath the falls of roof. The to-
tai number of the dead is now placed at
III. Two of those injured died last. night.
They were4 Willard Carter and Joshua
Mcneil. 49,
To-day one meets everywhere women
and children weeping piteously. The
deepest gloom has settled over the whole
community. A special train arrived from
Westyille and other mining eenters in Pic
tou county with relatives of the dead and
others. A steady stream of curious people
has been pouring into the town from all
quarters and visitors are numerous. Some
of the bodies were fearfully mutilated.
Those of the dead who were beyond recog
milton were identified by their clothing or
marks on their bodies. A carpenter chop
has been temporarily converted into dead
house, to which all corpses are taken and
then prepared for their collins. 1t is a
most gruesome sight. The shop is contin-
ually crowded with Borrowing relatives
looking for their dead. Clergymen of the
different denominations are doing what
they can for the grief-stricken. No ser
vices were held in either the Methodist or
Presbyterian churches. Rev Father Egan
celebrated high mass in the morning and
there was a short service in the Episcopal
church.
The injured are progressing most favor
ably and are being tenderly cared for.
When the explosion took place doctors
were telegraphed for to other places and
appeared on the scene as soon as they
could reach town by rail. Those who re-
sponded 80 promptly to the call were Drs.
Allen, Hewson, Campbell and Bliss of
Amherst, and Boggs, Bubbitt and Nc
Dougan of Oxford. These, with the col
merry doctors, old everything possible TOR
the sufferers.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Feb. 22.-The search

in which they were found was seventy
feet above the water line. The bodies
were more or less eaten by rats. The 9TH

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The nomina-
ton of Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio to be

ceived about the capitol and it was very
highly commended by the men best ac-
quainted with the new secretary. The
Ohio congressman spoke of him as a man
of strong, personal worth, large expert
ence as successful business man and
we'll acquainted with the public affairs.
He is, it is said, thoroughly in accord
with the presidents financial policy and a
conservative man, whose opinions are all
favorable to sound, stable currency.
The republicans generally expressed
themselves as we'll satisfied with the presi-
dents selection, and those democrats who
were seen said they had nothing to say
against him, conceding that the president
had right to select advisers who were in
accord with his policy. Mr.. Foster, they
said, was republican and strong party
man, but they had nothing against him
| personally. 49,
Mr.. Foster is now in New ork. He will
| come to Washington on Monday.
Asked for his views on the financial
question, he said: 'I am in thorough &C

GENERAL SHERMAN BURIED.

The Obsequies in st. Louis Satur-
day-Laid at Rest Between His
Wife and Son-Return OF the Special
Train.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 22.-The last taps
have been sounded, the buglers have tr UNI
peted forth the final farewell, and Will
liam Tecumseh Sherman sleeps with his
kindred. Only fresh turned earth on a
mound In Calvary cemery, just where the
walk of the Holy Rosary and the Ways of
Bethany come together tell the story that
the last of that great triumvir of American
generals, whose fame is as imperishable as
the nation itself, has been laid to rest be-
tween the devoted helpmate, who until
called away, smoothed and comforted
his declining years, and his son, little
Willie.
The pageants, the final services, the
grave all were in harmony with the man.
| The one, imposing as was his career; the
| second simple to severity as was his life
and habits; the third with nothing but a
fringe of shrubbery to separate it from
those of the comrades and veterans with
whom Old Tecumseh loved to mingle.

quies should be of military character
was obeyed to the most extreme particular.
sible to draw line that would prohibit
| the great mass of people of the city in
which he had spent so many years of his

| in strictly military funeral-two civic di-

EIGHTEEN DROWNED.

The Ship Elizabeth of New York
Wrecked Near San Francisco-The
Vessel Pounded to Pieces on the
Rocks.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-The ship
Elizabeth of New York went ashore on
the rocks at North Head last night while
entering the harbor She had twenty
men on board-the captain, two mates,
the cook and sixteen sailors, besides the
captains wife and two children. Three
sailors, the captains wife and children
got off in small boat. The boat cap
sized but the occupants were rescued by a
tug. 1t is thought the rest of the vessels
crew were drowned. A life boat went
to the aid of the shipwrecked sailors, but
was capsized. by the waves and the cap
tain of the boat drowned. The ship is
breaking up fast on the rocks and will be
total loss.
1t is now known that the captain and
seventeen sailors of the ship Elizabeth
were drowned in last nights wreck. The
vessel was sighted at Port Early yesterday
| afternoon and Captain Colcord decided to
sail in The wind was blowing furious
gale and finally the tug Monarch came to
| the Elizabeth's assistance. The men say
assistance was refused because of exorbi-
tant charges asked by the tug. The tug
Alert then made fast to the Elizabeth, but
| her hawser broke and the ship drifted
before the wind towards the shore.
| Just as the second hawser was made
| fast she struck the rocks. Then Captain
Colcord lowered the boat to take his wife
and children off. AS the boat struck the
water it capsized, throwing three sailors,
James Laken, George Hanna and Grant
johnson, into the water. They chung to
the bottom of the boat and were picked up
by the tug. The captains family was
| then lowered in another boat, and taken
| to the tug by the mate and two seamen.
| The boat returned to the ship, and its oc-
| cupants persisted with the rest of the
ships crew. The tugs were unable to get
near the ship and late at night returned
| to port, leaving the vessel to its fate. Early
this morning the tug went to the scene of the
| wreck and found that nothing was
left of Elizabeth. She had gone to pieces
during the night. As soon as the wreck
was reported last night the Fort Point
life saving crew, commanded by Captain
| Henry, started in lifeboat for the ship.
They were being towed by tug when
| Captain Henry was washed overheard by
a big wave and drowned. The lifeboat
| could not get near the wreck and returned
| to the station. The Elizabeth was a
wooden ship, built at New Castle, Me-, in
| 1882, and was of ,775 tons. She was
owned by A. Hall of New York and COM
manded by Captain James Colcord, and
carried crew of twenty-six men. She
was 100 days out from New York and
carried a cargo CT merchandise consigned
| to William Dimond & Co.

Taxes on Lands.
SoorrsvnLE, Va, April 10, 1891

SoorrsvLLE, VA, April 1s, 1891.
To De Editor Of he Dispatch:
Is not section ]. chapter 40, page SO Of
Acts of 18s9'90. unconstitutional, IN that
il provides that taxes on lands for 1890
shall be extended on the assessment made
in 1885 instead of the assessment made in
1890? Certainly il is very unfair, nearly
doubling as il does the taxation for 1890 on
agricultural lands in some districts, while
il diminshes in like proportion the taxes
on city property.
Yours truly, FARMER.
The power of the General Assembly over
the subject is only limited by the provi-
sions of the State Constitution. IL the as
sessment Of 1885 is Just one and that OF
1890 an unjust one. then the Legislature
acted Alright in authorizing the use of the
latter. The Constitution requires taxes to
be equal and uniform, but we doubt
whether the provision would extend to the
case mentioned by our correspondent.
Again, suppose the assessment Of 1885 as
we'll as that of 1890 were unjust, who
could correct them except the Legislature?
Or who is to remedy the wrong of adopt
ing an unfair or even an unconstitutional
assessments Would any court of JUS
tice undertake TO do it2 Hardly.
City taxpayers claim that their real es-
state is taxed higher IN proportion to its
value than country real estate.
