WIELIMANTTC SAYINGS BANK.
Court Allows Thirty Per Cent. More of
Deposits to he Drawn.

Willimantic, Nov. 3.--Judge Ralph
Wheeler of the superior court in session
at Putnam to-day, issued an order re-
earding the Willimantic Savings insti-
tute The order provides that in addi-
ton to the 20 per cent. of deposits here
tofore permitted to be withdraw de-
posits to the extent of 30 per cent. may
now be withdrawn, making altogether
so per cent. from which the injunction
has been removed. A few years ago a
run was started on the bank and the
bank officers secured an injunction 50
that the depositors were restrained
from withdrawing over 10 per cent
without giving the bank the prescribed
notice. Two previous orders granting a
10 per cent. withdrawal We're issued. To-
days order also permits the bank to
declare and pay dividends during the
coming year and to receive new deposits
which will not be affected by the in
junction.

BISHOP DE GOESBRIAND DEAD.


Burlington, VT, Nov. 3.-Right Rev.
Bishop Louis De Goesbrland of the do
cese of Burlington, for many years the
head of the Catholic church in Vermont,
died at the st. Joseph Orphans home,
which had been his residence for sew
eral years, this evening. His funeral
will be held from ST. Mary's cathedral
on Tuesday. The cause of his death was
old age. He was the oldest Catholic
bishop in the United States, being
eghty-three years of age and having
been ordained for f1fty-nine years. He
had been falling in health for several
years, and in 1892 gave up the active
work in the diocese, requesting that a !.
coadjutor bishop be appointed.

THRILLING FIRE IN NEw YoRK.



New York, Nov. 3.--SeveraI lives
were lost in fire replete with thrilling
incidents, in the seven story brick
building at 81. 96 and 9S Mott street to-,
day. Chief Croker estimated, the loss
at $500,0Oo, but the fire insurance pa
trolmen said it would not be more than
$l50,OOO. Michael Conlin, an engineer,
perished in the burning building.
Charles Smith, twenty-one years old.
has not been heard from. An eighteen
year old boy named Rogers is supposed
to be lost The building was occupied
on the first, second, third, fourth and
seventh floors and in the cellar and
sub-cellar by the Manhattan Bed, Iron
and Spring company, and on the other
floors by F. Mohr & Co., manufacturers
of parlor furniture.
There were about fifty men in the
upper part of the building and they had
to take to the fire escapes. These were
crowded, and when the men saw the
flames behind them they became panic
stricken and some of them jumped into
the street. John Mum dropped from
the third floor fire escape to the street.
He sustained a broken ankle Joseph
Kinzie jumped from the fourth story
window to the street and his skull was
fractured 1t is believed he will die
The firemen quickly put up ladders to
the different floors and they carried
and helped the men down to the diff
ferent floors and they carried and help
ed the men down to the street. Three
men jumped from the sixth and eev-

SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA
NO NEWS RECEITED YESTERDIY
FROM LADYSMITH.
Reports from Berlin and Paris of British
Reverses They Do Not Agree and This
Gives Hope That They Are Not True.
ImprObnbtItiy of Statement That
white Has Fallen Back on PETER
rnarttzburg-Bulie Movements Kept
Secret.

London, Nov. S.-The war office has
| given out no statement to-day regard
| ing the situation at Ladysmith and
| London is in fever Of anxiety to
know what has happened. This anxiety
is greatly increased by reports from
Europe, especially from Berlin and
Paris, that the British have met with
very serious reverses Some of these
reports so so far as to state that Lady
smith has been captured and that Cen
eral White has been wounded. Others
state that General White has fallen
back on Peitermaritzburg and it is this
contradiction in the reports that gives
foundation to some hope that the forces
at Ladysmith are stilling holding their
own.
1t is also pointed out that If General
White had fallen back on Peitermarltz-
burg the war office would know it, as
that town is but seventy miles from
Durham, the principal seaport of Natal,
where several British warships now
are. The Pacific cable has not yet been
repaired and this tends to delay news,
as the Atlantic cable Is kept busy all
the time with government Dispatches
No word has been published as to
the movements of Sir Redvers Butler
and this secrecy is looked upon among
the service men as very significant.
They point out that Butler Is probably
straining every nerve to relieve White
at Ladysmith and Is determined to
carry out his policy of giving out moth
ing that he possibly can keep from the
correspondents. There is a general
feeling that a crisis is at hand for the
Natal forces, but many are hopeful
that White will be able to hold his own
for few days more until reinforce
ments reach him. The latest Berlin re-
port is that Mafeking has fallen.
The Daily Mail has the following
despatch from Ladysmith, dated Wed
nesday morning: MATTERS to-day are
quiet The Beers are apparently
mounting more heavy guns to the north
and northeast, which are likely to give
us trouble. A Boer contingent, 1900
strong and clearly visible from the
camp, is streaming away to the south.
The inhabitants of Ladysmith continue
to leave the town"

A LICENSE ZEE nEcomMEvDED.
Committee Favors $50 for Passenger
Cars and $50 for Freight Cars.

Cars and SEQ for Freight Cars
The committee on ordinances at it's
meeting last night decided to recon-
mend to the common council that an
ordinances be passed providing for a
| license fee of $50 per year to be placed
| on passenger cars run on the street
| railroads of the city and 500 a year on
| freight cars. The original resolution
introduced provided for license fee of
| 500 for passenger cars and $50 for
| freight cars. Corporation Counsel Rob-
| ertson had been asked for an opinion
as to the legality Of imposing the IL
cense fee Accordingly Judge Robert
son submitted a decision to the COM
mittee which was read last night In
the opinion he stated as follows
THE law is well settled that there is
no power in municipality to tax
! railways unless the power is directly
given by charter, which has not been
done in the case of the city of New
Haven. The only theory on which a
valid ordinance could be passed impos-
ing the payment of 800 year on
each passenger car and $50 on each
freight car would be as a police regula-
ton. The line between taxation and
police regulation in some cases is ex-
tremely close, but where any consider
able sum is charged it has been held
over and over again to be tax
I am therefore clearly of opinion
that an ordinance imposing the annual
payment Indicated on passenger and
freight cars would be direct taxation
of the street railway companies, which
is unauthorized by charter and could
not be upheld on the theory Of police
regulation. In fact, a tax of $40 year
as license on vehicles has been held
in Massachusetts to be unconstitutional
and void"
One of the members Of the committee
expressed the opinion that the COM
mon council should pass the ordinance
for a license fee and then let the su-
preme court decide on the legality of
such action. This opinion was shared
by the majority of the committee.
Favorable recommendat tion was made |
on the proposed ordinance providing !
for stated meetings of the common |
council to act on the estimates, on the |
ordinance to provide for filing by Off |
cials of certificates of qualification, the |
proposed ordinance for the filing with |
the city clerk of lists Of the names and |
addresses Of officials of the various de-
partments, and on the repeal of the old
sprnkling ordinances in conflict with |
the sprinkling act passed by the last |
legislature.

APPROPRIATIONS RECOMMENDED.
$4,000 for an EntertaimmeMt Fund and
Bond Issue OF $A4 900 for Pavememts


The committee on appropriations last
night decided to recommend that reso-
luton be passed by the common coun-
ell requesting the board of finance to in
Guide in the appropriations for next
year $4,000 as an entertainment fund to
be under the control Of a joint commit
tee of the common council. The reso-
luton for this was introduced by AL
derman Atwater, but provided for the
appropriation Of $4,000. Mr.. Atwater
appeared last night and spoke in favor
of his resolution. Police Commission
Wilson II. Lee also appeared and spoke
in favor of the appropriation of sum
for entertainments. although he thought
that a less sum might be adequate.
Mr. Atwater stated that his resolution
was hurriedly written and he was not
particular about the amount so stated.
The following letter was received by the
committee from President Max Adler Of
the chamber of commerce:
The Chamber Of Commerce, New
Haven.
New Haven. Conn, Nov. 8, 1899.
/ am informed that the finance COM
mittee will be asked to appropriate the
sum of $4,000 to be used by the city's
representatives when legally author
lied by the court of common council for
the purpose of entertaining distinguish
ed public men or conventions which
may during the year visit or come to
our city. ] would suggest that all
moneys spent by the city for public en-
tertainments, such as band concerts,
celebration Of Decoration day, Fourth
of July, or other public entertainments
be taken from this fund so that all dis
bursements of this nature could come
under one head. / heartily endorse this
action and believe q city the size Of
New Haven should have all appropria
tion of this kind SO that the court of
common council may be guided in it's
action when occasion requires it. Any
sum of the appropriation
can be reverted to the general fund.
Trusting the finance committee will
include the appropriation with Others
