Chilean ship Atacama, for alleged bru-

tack to avoid liability in the case against
him, which involves $4,000.
MacLean, who is now confined in the gov

has announced himself as not a Chilean
but British subject, denying at the same
time his accredited ownership of the ship
and claiming to be only passenger.
To-day, through Vice Consul Klocker,
the matter was referred to Sir Julian
PauncefOte, at Washington, asking for an
order for his immediate release.

Woes of a Taxpayer.

A peculiar phase Of human character.
indifference or ignorance, came to our
notice the other day which we think is
worth repeating. We suppose Water
town is no worse off in this respect
| than other towns, but the following
dialogue which took place in the CITY
treasurer's Office rather amused us. to
say the least.
A man having the appearance of a
Well-to-do mechanic stepped up to the
treasurer's desk and in broken English
stated that he wished to pay his taxes.
After inqniring his name, he was asked
what ward he lived in.
81 don't know" answered the tax
payer.
Don't know? Don't you register
and vote?"
"No, [ don't vote. [ was told that if
[ voted my taxes would be higher.
Two years ago I had to pay 40 cents
taxes and last year IS cents, and if I
voted I suppose it would be good
deal MORE"
''In what direction do you live from
here?' asked the treasurer.
The man pointed toward the north.
so the treasurer looked through the
Fifth ward roll without success, but
when half way through the Sixth ward
roll found the name.
''How much is it?'' asked the man.
Fifty cents" responded the clerk.
That's altogether too much of an in
crease, and [ don't understand why I
should pay only 45 cents last year an d
30 cents this year"
The treasurer explained the sewer
tax, handed the taxpayera cigar, which
some friend had previously given him
and the taxpayer went his way smiling
and happy, remarking as he passe d
through the door that he would regis
ter next spring and vote for a man who
was so obliging and could afford to give
him a cigar with his tax receipt.
And the treasurer turned with a
smile to attend to about a dozen people
who were awaiting their turn and lis
tening to the recital of the woes of this
prodigy from the Sixth ward.

Saturday until March %, when the
court cases will be heard. The Cole
Will case comes up at that time.
The criminal calendar was finished
last week. In the case Of the State VS..

charged with being the father of an
illegitimate child born in the town of

him not guilty. The State VS.. James

guilty was returned. In the case of the

from this city on charge of obtaining
goods by false pretenses, the defendant
was found not guilty. John G.. Conway
was attorney for the defense.

matrimonial experience and have

lively. A verdict in favor of the plain
tiff for $50 damages was rendered. Har-
JoW Pease was one of the defendants s
counsel.
The suit Of Laura Strehlow, appear
ing by her guardian, Samuel Kussel,
against Henry P. Petit and Rudolph
Hoffman,, was brought for malicious
prosecution. II. Pease appeared for
the plaintiff, and L. B. CasWelI and w.
Il. Rogers for the defendants. The
jury failed to agree on a verdict and
the case goes over to the next term.
William Humphrey VS.. Margaret
BrockWay was an action in which the
plaintiff, as administrator of the estate
OF 5. V. r. Brockway, sought to recover
a certain sum Of money in possession of
the defendant that it was thought be-
longed to the estate. Judge Bennett
deemed the evidence offered by the
complainant insufficient, and a non
suit was ordered.
