The Board of Aldermen met last even
ing, President Thornton in the chair, the
full Board being present, as Board OF
Abatement, and nearly completed the list
of protests. At one time it looked as IL
there might be trouble, as one of the gen.
tlemen who appeared before the Board in
directly charged one of the tax assessors
with having personel spite against him.
The taxpayer claimed that his tax was out
of all proportion to those of his immediate
neighbors. The challenge was not ac-
cepted, and the affair ended without
bloodshed.
The following taxpayers, upon recon-
mendation of the tax assessors, were given
leave to withdraw: Joseph Adams, Arthur
Mccarthy, Robert p. Hayden, Richard
Colvert, George III. Dalton, Louis Four
nier, Mary A. Fay, Hugh Haniey, James
Joyce and wife, Robert Kay, James Hack
ing, New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company, Leah Petit, Mary A..
Roper, Mary B. Read, Jabez Wilmarth,
O. w. Wilmarth & Co., and the William
Newell Estate.
The following petitioners were given
leave to withdraw by the Board of Abate-
ment: Henry P. Powers, Mrs. Ratcliffe,
Joseph Magee, Frank X. Lamerine, Pat 4.
rick O'Malley, Augustine O'Malley, John
McNamara, Michael Green, William Will
son, James Kenney, Matthew r. Ganther
John Silk, Joseph and Mary Mclaughlin.
The following abatements on the val
uation was made by the board: Rosalie
Rupert, 500; Jane McDermott, sewer tax
abated; Catherine johnson, 500; Charles
Lesveque, tax of 1895, $500 extra tax was
abated; James Kennedy, 900; Robert Gil
christ, personal tax of $500 was abated, as

Pretty Forest Scene.
Patt Brothers have decorated one of their
immense show windows In very pretty
manner. The design is gotten up to rep
resent forest scene, where nature has
spread its mantle of beauteous lustre ovel
the green woodland and the birds arr
singing their carols of Joy. Two miniature
lakes, hidden between the trees and grow
ing foliage, present very realistic pic
ture Here and there animals are grazing
upon the sparkling grass, birds are chirp-
ing, seemingly, upon the branches OF the
trees, and Santa Claus, loaded with beau
tiful presents, overlooking the whole pam
Drama presents sight well looking at.
