IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
APPEAL IN THE YALE TAX CASE
FILED.

Grounds of Appeal Given by the University

pertinent Station Appeals from Tax
Assessment-Ga Gallagher win Contest
Settled.
Yale university through it's attor-
neys, Stoddard, Bristol & Stoddard,
yesterday afternoon filed notice of its
appeal to the superior court for relief
from the addition to it's list of taxable
property, pursuant to the statutes. The
preamble of the appeal states that on
October rs last the university filed
with the assessors a list of all its prop
erty liable to taxation, being of the
value of $65,116, the list being sworn
to by Treasurer Farnam. The appeal
then calls attention to the fact that
the assessors had added to the list,
bringing the total value Of the property
claimed by them to be taxable UP to
$405, 1891. q The university claims that
this part added is not In fact or in law
liable to taxation, but is exempt there
from. The appellant set UP that no
notice in writing was given by the as
SCISSORS to the university of their addi-
ton prior to December 20 or thereafter
and that the assessors failed to file in
the office Of the town clerk prior to
December 81, 1897 the list of taxable
property in the town of New Haven, or
an abstract thereof as required by the
statutes; that the university in Janu-
airy appealed to the board of relief and
that Treasurer Farnam on January %
offered to be sworn before the board
of relief and answer all questions con-
corning the taxable property Of the
university and that the board Of relief
| refused to grant the relief asked. The
town is ordered to answer the appeal
at the April term of the superior court.

AZTEC MINES DISCOVERED.

Az EC MIN ES OtSSO ' GhEO.
The discovery by William Niven, of
this city, { important evidences of the
past civilization of the Aztecs and re-
lated tribes has been verified on the
arrival of the explorer in the capital OF
Mexico. He found a number Of pre-
oistoric ruins and q sealed ossuary con-
tanning skeletons. He has incidentally
found new silver mines and promising
pacers, the latter, perhaps, redis'
coyery of diggipgs from which the Az
tees drew their wealth. II needs that
only haif which is on record of the Az
tees in Montezuma's time be true to in.
dcate that gold was the coDmonest OF
their metals, They did not hold it in
the Value that Europeans gave to 1t,
and this fact enabled Cortez and his
followers to rob these people in royal
fashion. Shields, helmets, cups. brace
is and nuggets were delivered in ex-
change for promises and friendships
that were as empty as the promises OF
Spain have ever been. After enriching
Cortez, the natives found themselves at
is mercy; their emperor captive,
tneir temples despoiled, strange i'm
9ges set up in public places, before
which they were compelled to bow and
worship, and in the end the Spaniard
possessed the land.
In Peru and adjacent States 81 milar
dramas were enacted, and the " white
man gained his power by the copious
.hedding of blood. 1t is not improb
able tDat when the greed of the in-
vaders for the yellow metal was discov-
cred, the Aztecs and other native
tribes desisted from the mining of it,
aoping by representations that the sup
PLY wes exhausted to keep the troops,
with their swords and laundering can
non, from any further advance into
their country. 1t does not take long in
n tropical country for eroded banks to
clothe themselves afresh in vegetation;
hence in few years the tokens of
placer mining would have disappeared,
and after the people had been driven to
other parts Of the country, or had been
occupied in the general defense, these
beds of gold-besriug gravel would be
forgotten. This discovery, il such it
s, may prove to be important-not so
much so as the Klondike, probably, for
much has already been taken from
them, yet not significant, since modern
methods insure o larger return for labor
than the old way, which was nothing
but the picking of nuggets from the
stream beds American capital will
pro ably develop these mines, and We
may have need of gold in the next
few years. Brooklyn Eagle.

Smack Betsy's Crew Has FrIghtfuI
Experience on Gorton.
One Of the severest storms Of recent
years was that along the eastern coast
of England in the latter part of March.
The little smack Betsy of Yarmouth
was wrecked at Gorton. Two of the
crew were drowned the remainder be-
ing rescued by the bravery of the
Galveston lifeboatmen. Skipper Wright
of the Betsy thus describes the wreck:
I'VE were bound to Yarmouth, and by
Thursday afternoon were about abreast
of Gorton, just to the north of loves
toft. We could get no further. The
hurricane threatened every minute to
carry away our masts, and great seas
repeatedly swept over us. All the deck
fittings were carried away, and every
minute we expected the smack to
founder. About midnight we managed
to drop anchor. We burned flares, but
no help came in response. At last the
anchor parted and we knew it was
all up. We drove before the gale right
ashore onto the Gorton breakwater
The brig struck bows on, and was lift
en- bodily and dashed against the
breakwater with tremendous crash
We had to take to the rigging. There
were six of us. Half dead with ex-
posture to the binding snow and bitter
wind, we held on with difficulty. Two
men-Walter Collins and James Hill
who were both married men with large
families, became exhausted and were
swept away before our eyes by the
heavy seas. At daybreak the coast
guards came down with their rocket
apparatus and took of the others and

Here are the details Of Mr.. MacDon-

for general purposes of defense and at
tack, but more especially for seaport
towns not provided with Notifications,
the following adaptations Of the war
balloons would be very efficacious and
could be provided quickly and at little
expense. Take balloon of sufficient
capacity, say 10000 feet, and let it be
moored by three cables, forming guys,
which would keep 1t approximately in
one position, at an elevation of 500 feet
or higher if necessary, as an observa-
tory. For night work carry cable
up the mooring rope and have power
full flash light. To keep the balloon
properly inflated have hose with coup
lings, after the style Of the fire de-
partment, carried up another mooring
cable. The car to be covered over so
that when free great attitudes could
be reached if necessary by means of
artificial respiration in the car.
Through the bottom of the car have
a torpedo tube on universal joints, so
that it would always hang perpendicu-
lar, and with sights attached. Then,
when an enemy's ship is sighted, haul
up enough torpedoes and let loose,
dropping them when in the right posi-
ton. If the wind is not right, rise
until favorable current is reached
and manipulate by drag anchors, as
Andree did. The car should be made
so az to float and be propelled, if it is
necessary to descend to the water"
