they found the body of woman, who
was identified afterward by neighbors as
Williamss wife. The skull was fractured
and the face was beaten in.

HARMoN's FoRTY-FivE CENTS.
It Cost Him Twenty-Five Dollars but He
Beat the Town.
Especial to the Press.]

SIDNEY, March 17.-Last year the orig
inal tax levied by the selectmen was not
high enough to furnish sufficient money
to run the town, so a supplementary tax
was ordered collected. This additional
tax meant forty-five cents more out
of Mr. G. Harmon than he had
calculated, so he refused to pay.
In due cou rse of time, he was sued by
the town, and the case went to court.
In other words it cost the town of Sid
ney and Mr. C. Harmon about $25 each
to ascertain that the town had no right to
collect the As cents.

The Senate spent four and half hours
in executive session considering the nom

against the confirmation of Judge
Woods nomination occupied the larger
part of the time. Several calls of the
Senate were necessary to ensure the
presence of a quorum. When the roll
was called it appeared that Judge
Woods, whose name stood first on the
list, was confirmed by bare majority,
the vote standing 20 to 20. Subsequent
ly one more vote was added to the affirm
ative. making the vote stand "a to %.
The vote was strictly according to party
lines, except that Senator PETER voted
against confirmation with the Democrat
ic Senators. Senator Stewart was not
present. Thus ended one of the most
protracted struggles in recent years in
volving Presidential nominations.
Mr.. Frye, from the committee on COM
merce, reported to the Senate a bill ex-
