FOUR MILL TOWN TAX LAID.

A Committee Appointed Upon the
 Matter of a New Town House.
 The district court room was well filled when Chairman Rafferty caHed the ad- journed town meeting to order last night. Town Clerk Madden read the call and then the trouble began.
 Emmett Rearden moved that tax of four mills be laid. Selectman Pinney favored five mill tax and stated that the expense of the South Leonard street extension, and the new aims house, if built, would run the town in debt.
 s. w. Kellogg was of the opinion that better almshouse was needed, and favored five mill tax.
 John Fitzpatrick called the present town farm a sand hill. He thought it would be advisable before laying a five mill tax to secure a fertile farm in another part of the town. It would be waste of money to build a new house upon the present farm. An amendment that five mill tax be laid was lost, and the original motion to lay tax of four mills was carried. It was voted to adopt the layout of | Quarry street.
 It was voted that B. l.. Frisbie, F. B. Rice and John Fitzpatrick be appointed committee to act with the selectmen in the matter of a new town house and to report to an adjourned meeting whether better farm can be secured and at what expense and also the esti mated expense of building a new towr house.
 | The meeting then adjourned,

SUICIDE BY POISON.
A TOrringtOn Man Found Dead in Hi
 Room at the Franklin House.


 Room at the Franklin House.
 Shortly after Il o'clock Wednesday night, a man about thirty years of age called at the Franklin house and asked to be accommodated with lodgings for the night. He registered as w. B. Hyde of Torrington and was assigned to a room by Clerk Frank J. Weeden. He was man of ordinary appearance, was we'll dressed, of medium build and wore a dark moustache.
 Yesterday morning when the cham bermaid went to Hyde's room she found the door locked. In answer to her sum- mons Hyde said that he was busy and wished that he be not disturbed. In the afternoon the door was still locked and the man was evidently writing. He was not again disturbed.
 This morning the door was still locked when the chambermaid was going her rounds. Repeated knocking bringing no response a chair was pro- cured and one of the guests peered into the room through the transom. The body of Hyde was seen reclining upon the bed, the hands tightly clutching the spread and the limbs drawn up. A glance was enough to show that the man was dead.
 Medical Examiner Axtelle was noti ned ana LOOK possession or the 1eW CT fects of the dead man. The body o1 Hyde was removed to Burrall's under taking rooms.
 One of the letters left by Hyde is ad dressed to his mother, Mrs c. w. Hyde of Torrington. Of the other Medica Examiner Axtelle did not wish to tall for publication. He learned enough however, to leave no room to doubt tha the man had committed suicide whil suffering from despondency, death belnt caused by poison. No bottle or box wa found in the room and the medical ex aminer is in doubt as to the nature o the deadly drug.
 Yesterday afternoon Hyde left tn hotel for a short time and visited Far relrs photograph gallery on Bank street where he had two tintype pictures made after which he returned to the hotel an' locked himself in his room.
 The family of Hyde have been in formed of his death.
 A Connecticut Associated Press dis patch from Torrington states that Hyd was unmarried and lived with his pa rents in that town. He had been drink ing for some time and left home afte having quarre with his parents.
