Mr.. Wilson moved that all bills ap
proved by the finance committee be
allowed. The motion carried.
The report of Hon. W. R. Spick-
nall, acting superintendent of the
waterwOrks, was received and filed.
Mr.. Hunter, chairman of the street
and alley committee, reported rela-
tive to a side walk being built on E.
Lincoln avenue. The report was IA
vOrable to the construction of the
walk.
A motion by Mr.. Wilson that the
appointment Of Z. c. Shaver as city
marshal be confirmed was ruled out of
order by the mayor.
At this juncture communication
from the mayor in which he placed
his veto upon the appropriation ordi-
nances was read. He stated that he
would not sign the ordinances so long
as they embodied the sextOn's salary.
In his veto, the mayor aired his feel.
ings against the council in vehement
language. As soon as the reading Of
the veto was finished, Mr.. Hunte
moved that the ordinances of apprO
priatiOn be reconsidered. Here May
or Savage vacated the chair and Mr..
Maddy, president of the council, put
the motion. Every councilman pres
ent voted "aye." Appropriation ordi-
nance No. 6l2 was then recOnsidered
and passed regardless of the mayors
veto. BY motion Of Mr.. Hunter, the
same action was taken on appropria-
tiOn ordinance No. 613 which was also
passed over the veto of the mayor.

The Returns.

We publish elsewhere the election
returns for Sumner county. They
show great change in the sentiment
Of the people as to the conduct Of
county affairs. They show that the
people are tired Of Republican ring
rule, corruption and extravaganza,
and are again ready to turn over the
county's business to the Peoples
party. We are not so unfair as to
claim this entirely as Populist vic
tory. A large number of Republi-
cans contributed to the defeat OF
their own party as a punishment.
We hope the successful Populists
will exercise such good business pol
icy as will cause them no regrets
and that having once set their faces
toward retrenchment and reform
they will grow in the faith and stay
with us. The West ought all to be
united against TIE oppression of the
goldbugs and corporate capital. Let
US all, in future, act as citizens hav-
ing a common interest, honestly de-
string to promote that which is fol-
the general welfare.

From some cause Andy Richard:
seems to be very tender this fall. A
few lines from the VOICE always
bring nearly as many columns.
Last week A. L. Epperson, Of Belle
Plaine, complained through the
VOICE of having to pay S5.37 ad-
vertising fees on some delinquent
taxes. Andy dives into it and prints
three columns Of stuff, including sew
eral nonpareil tables of figures, to
show that Mr.. Epperson made a
mistake Of 40 cents, leaving the ad-
vertising fees only S4,O4. This is
the awful result Of trying to run a
campaign without platform-a
windmill without rudder.

If it requires three columns of

is fearful for its readers to contem-

quire to get rid of the whole Sl3,.

The Mail lectures Bro. Epperson
of Belle Plaine for complaining OF
the penalties enforced upon him be-
cause of his delinquency in taxpay-
ing and says that the penalties are
enacted in order to secure prompt
payment. 1t adds:
"We believe the interests OF the
public are best served by keeping the
penalties and additional burdens for
delinQuents In paying taxes just as
high as possible"
We presume there is nothing in
the constitution to prevent charging
every NAV who is so unfortunate as
to not be able to meet his taxes
promptly when due as much as $500
tract; or to make it still more
drastic, add fine and Imprisonment
for failure to pay within certain
time. But the VOICE surmises that
even then there would be a good
long list of delinquents during such
oppressive periods as the people have
experienced for three years past.
The fact that the people through
their servants, the county commits.
sioners, have the power TO relieve
this oppression, to some extent, and
will not, is what rasps the feelings
Of the unfortunate taxpayer-the ef

The Monitor-P Press, in the follow.
ing brief paragraph, comedies the
points the VOICE has been contend
ing for ever since it was established
in 1890:
There exists at the present time ne
cessity for extra care as to the kind of
men given, as county commissioners,
the general oversight of the business
Of the county. The situation de-
mands not only honest men for this
important trust, but men of business
capacity and experience. The falling
of in population, the decline in the
taxable wealth of the county and the
changes wrought by the pressure of
hard times have got to be taken into
account by our county commissioners
II they would satisfy the just de-
mands and expectations of their con-
stituents. The people are in no con-
dition to pay high taxes to keep up a
county establishment on the same
scale of expense that obtained in

1t is the general opinion that there

yet, very few mortgages have been

4 FIRE IN EAST HAHEN.
Two Men Nearly Suffocated-A Place Need-

Two Men Nearly Suffocated-A Place Need-
 ed for the Detention of Criminals.
 William Kennedy of East Haven rents small tenement house of c. w. Bradley. Previous to the financial col lapse of the saw mill at Nittle's Hook he was generally steady and indus trious man. For the last two months, it is claimed, he has neglected to sup port his family, and spent his small earnings in drink, etc.
 On Sunday morning at o'clock, the 10th instant, he went home intoxicated, and it is claimed, accompanied by Charles E. Roe, who was in the same condition. Fortunately Kennedy's lit- tie family was away. In some unac- countable manner they turned over the stove, or in some way set the bed and carpet on fire. The neighbors rallied and put out the fire, and found the men nearly suffocated with smoke. There was no way to move the uncon- scious men, and no secure place to con fine them, so they were confined until morning in a cold, damp room, with
 
 zero.
 A few minutes after 2 in the morn ing-the thermometer at the bottom of the tube-Horace A. Smith, grand juror, with commendable promptness, had the warrants ready for their arrest and in the hands of Constable William H. Chidsey. At S:9O o'clock they were brought before Justice Dwight w. Tut tie in c. w. Bradley's commodious of- flee, where the court was convened. The prisoners pleaded not guilty to the charges against them, and said it was new departure to be tried on Sun day, also that man had a right to get drunk in his own hired house.
 The court ruled that lawbreakers could be tried on Sunday, also that while the last named defense was novel it would not stand sound Connecticut law.
 A continuance of the proceedings was asked for by the defense, and granted until z o'clock the following Monday evening.
 Thomas Roe. who recently inherited the large estate of Hezekeh Bradley and that of his sister, Eliza Bradley, mostly situated on Boston avenue, gave the bonds in the sum of $200.
 Levi N. Blydenburgh has been en- gagged as counsel by the defense.
 In this connection it can be said that the building committee-AlbertF Forbes, Reuben H. Coe and H. Walter Chidsey of the new and costly town han, are censured by some for placing the same nearly on level with the ground with | out even a cellar or basement room If there was such, a proper and com fortable place could be provided for prisoners, and utilized for many town | purposes.

EUGENE YS.IYE,
The Great Belgian violinist.


 Eugene Ysaye the great Belgian vio- linist, will appear at the Hyperion We'd nesday evening, March 6. He will be assisted by Anton Seldl and orchestra.
 Many New Haven people will read with interest the following from the Boston Herald:
 There was an enormous audience, the hall being literally packed. The interest, of course, centered in M. Ysaye, of whom so much has been said in the way of superlatives, and who Is reputed, and justly, one of the greatest of liv- ing violinists. His appearance physical ly is very impressive. His figure is tall and massive, with massive square shoulders and a broad chest. His face would be effeminate were It not for the strong chin, the square jaw and the firm and finely cut mouth. His, eyes are large, deep set and wonderfully eX- pressive, and he would be taken at once for a sensitive and intelligent artist, without the mass of dark long hair that is swept back from his brow In many ways his appearance recalls that of Rubenstein. There is the same leonine head, the same suggestion of resolute vigor and of innate power. It is an altogether interesting and at- tractiVe presence, and one pleasing to look upon. His manner is dfgnified and selfIpossessed, and from the very out set, one feels that here is a born artist. If any doubt could finger on that point it vanishes with the very first note that he brings from his instrument, with the very moment that his bow is drawn across the strings"
