HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 29.-The eld-
erly East Hartford couple, Ferdinand Riggi
and his wife, who have become insane and
barricaded themselves in their home, re-
main undisturbed by the authorities and
continue to drive away all visitors with a
shotgun. 1t has been wondered what they
have found to eat, for they have not been
out of their house for over two weeks, but
this question has been solved by the dis
appearance OF their horse. The animal was
sick several days, and it is now learned
from the neighbors that the couple have
killed 1t and are living upon it's carcass.rs
1t was at first believed that Riggi had
died, or had been killed by his insane-wffe,
but he was seen at the window wednesday.

Paul Next Tuesday.

The call for the annual meeting of the
Northwestern Manufacturers association
has been issued, and the meeting will be
held at Market hall on next Tuesday,
the opening session to begin at 8 o'clock.
The business to be considered will in
clude the annual report, the election of

OF equipping a train of eight or ten pas
senger coaches with exhibits to visit the
country towns within a radius Of 500
miles Of St. Paul, amendments Of by

either under the library board or else
where, and the report Of the committee
on new quarters:
Included in the call Is the following:
The board Of directors urge upon every
member of the association to attend the
annual meeting. The association has to
consider the most difficult matters.
The library board, in It's zeal for pub
lie library, have submitted a proposition
to the association to furnish it with new
quarters, on such terms as require every
members attendance to discuss it care
fully and dispassionately, so as to ar
rive at reasonable. fair and just deci-
sion; otherwise the association may stand
in false position before the public
The question of new quarters for an
exhibit hall Is Of vital Importance. Shall
the exhibitions which have so largely at.
tracted the public has been so successful
be continued or not, and is it the wish Of
the members to maintain a permanent

and other kindred questions depend upon
the voice and decision of the members
and the association finding suitable quar-
tiers within its means that will enable it,
with the Ladies' auxiliary, to continue
the good work.

ASKS GOVERNOR TO VETO.
ST. Paul Water Board DisIikes the
Frontage Tax Repeal.

St. Paul Water Board DisIikes the
Frontage Tax Repeal.
A special meeting of the water board
was held yesterday to take action in
regard to a bill that has recently passed
both branches of the legislature affect
ing the right of the board in levying
frontage tax. The following resolution
was introduced by r. B. C. Bement.
unanimously adopted and copy of 1t
will be presented to Gov Lind tomorrow:
Whereas, A bill has been passed by
both houses Of the Minnesota state leg
islature limiting the right Of the water
board in leVyfng the frontage tax upon
property in front of which water mains
are laid to a period of five years from
and after the period when the first tax
is levied; and
Whereas. the revenues accruing to the
water board from the frontage tax as
now laid and collected is devoted to the
expense of laying new mains to eezend
the water system of st. Paul, an2 the
water board Is powerless to provide for
paying the cost of such extensions, if
the income from such frontage tax is
practically cut off. as it will be if the
said bill becomes a law, unless the wa
ter rates are raised; and
Whereas, The raising of such water
rates is in every respect unwise and
would result in imposing a great and I'M
just burden upon the consumers of wa
ter in St. Paul by burdening such con-
sumers with the expense of laying pipes
in front OF vacant property, which is
Whereas, The objections to raising the
water rates are so great that the board
would feel obliged to adopt the policy of
refraining from causing further extern
sions Of the water mains in the city If
said bill becomes a law; be it
Resolved, That the board respectfully
request the governor of this state to
return the said bill to the legislature
without his signature, with the recon-
mendation that the same be not passed
without making provision for the raising
of funds by the water board which will
enable it to make the necessary extern
sions in way of laying new mains and
other necessary improvements
1t seems that up to 1895 no time limit
had been set at which the frontage tax
should cease, but in the year 1895, at
the request of the board, the time was
limited to ten years, and at that time
there was due the sum of $143, COL 73. The
assessments in 1894 to 1898 reduced that
amount to sS3,075.6S including mains laid
In those years to the amount of ST., OOO
With the 1928 assessment S17,063 more
would expire, in 1899 500, 974. rs and In 1900
SlS,366.99 leaving a balance of S34 SO "a:
but If the act of the legislature should
receive the sanction of the governor the
frontage tax will be cut off and would
result in a raising of the water rates
or compelling the board to abandon the
laying of any further extension of wa
ter mains
The act originated with several indi
vlduals at Hazel Park, and the board
declares is not asked for by any num-
Der of representative citizens, and it is
of the opinion that such a law as Is
contemplated would work an irrepara bla
injury to the city.

TRYING OTHERS, SUITS.
Jacob Peterson Oerting Says His
Name Took Toe Much Time

Jacob Peterson OertfnE Saws HI.
Name Took Toe Much Time.
People who bear the name of Peterson
are constantly getting into trouble
through unpaid debts. Especially is this
true of Jacob Petersons and Peter Peter
sons, according to the complaint made
by Jacob Peterson, carpenter, in his
application to the district court for per
mission to change his name to Jacob p
Oerting. And after he had told the story
OF his troubles, Judge Kelly granted the
request, conditionally, upon Peterson Sc
curing the written consent of his wife.
In his petition, Mr.. Petersen saws that
he was born in Denmark and came to ST
Paul IN 1883, where he is the owner of
considerable real estate.
He plaintively points out to the court
that there are over 100 persons in the
city directory for 1898 named John Pc
terson or Joseph Peterson or Jacob Pc
terSon. The petitioner has been ANNOYED
repeatedly by receiving letters intended
Tor otner members of the Peterson FAM
lily and having his own mail go astray.
But the browning difficulty is that he
has been repeatedly dragged into courts.
and, in the language of the petition.
"often obliged to leave his occupation at
BUSY seasons OF the year to prove to at
torneys and others that he Is not the
person of the same name against whom
they have collections or are intending
to bring suits" Furthermore, frequently
judgments have been. entered against
Jacob Petersons and J. Petersons whom
the petitioner does not know, and still
the fact hurts him in the pursuit of his
occupation.
For all these reasons and others which
Mr.. Petersen explained to the court. with
the assistance of E. E. McCrea and w
E. Bunker. Judge Kelly decided to allow
Mr.. Petersen to assume the name of ia
cob P. Oerting, which is not a common
name, provided he can secure and place
on file the written consent of Mrs Pc
tersen to the change
