A large part of the 1896 statestax has
been collected, but only about $40, 900 OF
the 1897 tax has yet been received. The
taxes of each year are paid in for the
most part in the succeeding year. This
is accounted for largely by the fact that
many towns will wait until January 1,
1898, when they will receive from the state
their school tax. The school tax is ap-
towns in July when the return of schol-
ars is made and is due the towns on jan
uary l., SO many towns will wait until
this time before paying their state tax,
when they will deduct the amount of the
school tax from it. In many agricultural
towns where there are many children and
a low valuation, the school tax Is often
larger than the state tax so there is a bal
anco to be paid the town. A notable ex-
ample of this is the town of Frenchville
in Aroostook county, whose state tax this
year is S537, and to which the state must
pay school tax amounting to So, 06S.23

Nathaniel MoseIy Wanted For the Mur-
der IF George Spencer.
Abingdon, Mass, Nov. IA wild ap-
pearing man who was brought into the
local court today, on charge of being
q tramp, Is believed to be Nathaniel
| Moseley, the insane man who is wanted
for killing George Spencer, a Grand
| Army veteran of Huntsville, Mass, sew
eral weeks ago.
The prisoner is about 35 years of age,
has full beard and long hair, and
dressed very roughly. He pleaded not
guilty on the charge of a tramp, and in
answer to questions of Judge Kelley,
said he belonged in Sheffield, that he
was unmarried and had a mother living.
For two weeks past he had been going
from town to town, sleeping in hay
stacks and begging part of his food.
The officers here, before the prisoner
was arraigned, concluded he was none
other than Moseley. In court, when
asked If he was insane, he said he was
not, but admitted that he had been con-
fined in the Northampton insane asylum
once for four months, and once for two
months.
He later admitted that he knew George
Spencer, and that the man was a farmer
about I'll years of age, and that he be-
longed in Huntsville, in the western part
of the state. Being pressed further, he
said his mother was at Mr.. Spencer's,
and that he (Moseley) went to call upon
her and that there was trouble with
Spencer. The latter ordered him from
the house and threatened him with ar
rest.
He would not answer the question If
he knew that Spencer had been shot and
killed that day. He refused to reply to
the question in any way.
The prisoner said he left Huntsville, as
near as he could remember, two weeks
ago Saturday. Since then he had been
in Rhode Island, near Providence, and
in Granville part of the time. What
other towns he visited he could not or
would not tell He said that people tried
to make him out insane, but said he was
not and that he was prosecuted.

Brockton, Mass, Oct S1.-Although
another strike is not probable in this
city right away, it is possible, as the
pulIers-on for the Mckay or niger
machines have a grievance which they
are considering. Several conferences
have been held with the manufacturers,
but as yet no settlement has been
reached. The men want an increase of
one cent pair on box calf, hard box and
vici shoes, and an increase of one half a
cent a pair on all others. The manu-
facturers apparently cannot see their
way clear to give such an increase as it
means an increase of SO 1-3 per cent.

silent Witness of Disaster

Boston, Nov. 3.-The bark Gazelle ar
rived here yesterday afternoon from
Para and Barbados, and Captain Green
reported that last Saturday, when 1870
miles south of South shoal lightship he
fell in with an immense amount of
wreckage, apparently marking the spot
where some large English vessel had
foundered. The wreckage included a
portion of the ships deck, with knees
attached main rails and stanchions,
planking and pieces Of deckhouse, beside
the side of the boat upon which was
plainly visible the word London"
There were also about 10 packages of
pitch pine deals in the midst of the
wreckage, but no spars or rigging were
in sight Judging from the decks and
wreckage passed, it is probable that the
vessel would carry about 25 men.

General A. p. Martin, chairman of the
police board of this city, is going to
resign his office and re-enter business
life as manager of a large manufactur-

friends have known that he was sur
prised and hurt by Governor Wolcott's
finding on the hearing of the charges
preferred against him several months
ago by Roger Scannell and others, not
withstanding the mild and almost
friendly stand taken by the governor.
When the council sustained him, how
ever, Notwithstanding the finding of the
governor, he decided to fight the matter
out. He was willing to retire from the
field at that time, but his pride would not
permit it. Conscious of no personal
rong-doing, he decided to fight and he
has retained his position more as a
vindication for himself than because he
desired to hold the place.

household of Edward hamilton, CHI eff
accountant of the Worcester County IN
stitution for Savings, in the full vigor or
life. The night began with two dead
and two dying. The change from life
to death was wrought by the husband

killed his wife and one child and, after
wounding another child, turned the
weapon upon himself, with the result
that he died at o'clock last night at the
hospital, where he was taken with his
daughter after the police had been told
of the awful tragedy.
Mr. Hamilton was married about seven
years ago to Katherine Long, profess
sional nurse who had nursed him during

married life had always been regarded
as a happy one, and they were blessed
with two children, a girl, Katherine
