CAUSES SURPRISE.

Connecticut Man Declares His Asse0-
ment 10 Much Too Low.
Robert NJ. Bruce, one OF the mil
lionaires of CT eenwich, Conn, former
cotton broker and a friend of E. G..
Benedict, has caused surprise by ap-
pearing before the board Of assessors
of the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
tho New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont of his list Of taxable prop
erty, leaving it with the assessors. He
had looked the matter up recently and
that he should into the town treasury
md he asked for the raise. The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and it Is understood that they
will raise the taxes of all other mill
liOnaires there to some extent Mr.
Bruce's example is the subject Of much
comment. For many years past Green
witch has raised 100000 by taxation,
and has spent $4,000 more than it
raised. The debt has rolled up to
nearly 100000. The town appointed
an investigating committee and the
members reported that more money
must be raised by taxation. Fixing up
the taxes last fail was Pit over until
next spring. The assessors figured up
he amount ct taxable property and an
Increase of the tax rate seemed prob
sble. Persons who have looked up tho
matter say that there appears to be
,ne law for the poor man and another
Tor the rich man. The law says that
ZACH property owner must put In a

A MILE A MINUTE.

IiEh Speed by . Trolley Car In Rhila-
delphia.
In whatever other respects Phlladel-
ohia may be slow she has trolley car
which sweeps through the city In the
gray hours of dawn and which, taken
lay by day, is swifter than anything
Else of it's kind or class in the world,
says the New York Sun. 1t starts from
the heart of the city just after the
newspapers are out Of press and tears
away through the silent streets In q
| northerly and westerly direction, up
and down hill and along valleys, with
occasional stops to throw out bundles
until tWenty-seven minutes later 1t
tests on the northern summit Of Chest
Tut hill, fourteen and three-Quarter
niles away. This is at the average
rate Of thirty-fve miles an hour, in
Guiding at least one stop every three
tourths of a mile. Sometimes on its
eoute it has run a mile In minute
and an eighth and it has made the dis
lance in twenty-five minutes, includ-
ing the stops, which is just the sched-
ule time of the steam express trains for
practically the same distance between
the same places, though on neither the
Reading nor the Pennsylvania rail-
ways do the trains make any stops.
Sometimes, as on market day, there
| are Interruptions, when sleepy teams
get on the lines Of metals, and occa-
sionally another trolley car gets be-
hind time and doesn't give it the right
| Of way promptly, but despite the occa-
sional delays, for two yeas, in all
conditions of weather, facing rain or
snow, with mechanical incidents ad-
verse to it's career, it has mal2 on an
| average thirty-five trips out OF thirty
I've on time and only once has it been
longer than forty-dve minutes in COW
ering the distance. On that occasion
the wreck of hay wagon was on the
read and for this the Eagle Flight
trolley was not responsible. From the
fact that this car carries the morning
newspapers for distribution it might
be thought to be journalistic enter
prise in Philadelphia, but this is not
the case. It is an experiment by tho
Union Traction company to test the
maintenance of high speed and the
avenness of schedule time under con-
ditions peculiarly favorable for secur-
ing exact factors for all the problems
1t is sought to solve. Every trip is OBJ
served by electrical experts, the induc-
ton is estimated, the power measured,
the state of the metal, the thermomet-
ricaI and barometrical conditions noted
as we'll as the humidity and fog at the
different elevations along the line, and
when 1000 trips have been made the
data thus gathered will be considered,
| with a view Of formulating a result to
be applied in such directions Of econ
omy and accelerated speeds as may Do
opened up.
