 Mrs. Emma Polk. wife of James K Polk, nephew of the late president, died Wednesday night at her home, sS1 West One Hundred and Twenty-flrst street, New York city. She was forty years old.

Thinking only of the safety of the other tenants in the house, she tried to put the blaze out, and in doing so her bathrobe caught fire. She jumped into the bath tub and turned on the water, hoping to extinguish the flames, but not before she had been severely burned.
 MT. Polk is an inmate of a sanitarium at Hartford. He has been there for the last eighteen years. Mrs. Polk came of a. prominent Swedish family al Stockholm. She was married twenty one years ago.

ENGINE HOUSE HELD UP.

Finance Board Wants to Know Why tine City Should Spend s2,7OO When it Can Get Lot for s1,0o0.
 The board of finance held regular meeting last evening. The following letter was received from the fire com missioners in reference to the Fourth ward engine house:
 New Haven, May !, 1903 To the Honorable Board of Finance of the City Of New Haven: Gentlemen-At q meeting of the board of fire commissioners held May 6, 1903, I was instructed to submit to your hon. orable body the following resolution, viz:
 1 The board of fire commissioners, haV- ing accepted your recommendation to visit the several locations regarding the selection of suitable building lot for a new fire engine house in the Fourth ward, viz, lot corner of Lamberton and Hurlburt streets, lot on First street and l the Lynch property on Kimberly ave- nue, beg to advise your honorable body | that the full board of fire commission CTS visited the several lots spoken of, and after due consideration are unani- mously agreed that the Jireh B. Foote lot on Howard avenue is the most suit able for all practicable fire purposes, and, by vote, adhere to their former action in recommending the purchase of the said Jireh B. Foote lot.
 Respectfully submitted, Attest: S. J. METzGER, Secretary Board of Fire Commission
 CTS.
 After Clerk Norris read the letter it was ordered placed on file. The follow 1 ing letter was then read:
 T have lot at the corner of Lam- berton and Hurlburt streets, which I wish to offer the city of New Haven for fire engine house site, fifty by one hundred and fifty feet. for twenty dol- lars per front foot, the lot facing on Lamberton; or in other words, one thousand dollars for the lot.
 WILLIAM BUTTON,
 Per c. Welton." One of the members then said that it seemed q funny thing for the city to spend S2,7OO for the Foote lot when one just as suitable can be purchased for $1 ,OOO.
 It was then voted that copy of the Button letter be sent to the fire com missioners and that they be asked whether MT. Buttons proposition had been considered or not. If it has been considered the board of finance wishes the fire commissioners to advise them in reference to it. The engine house matter was then tabled.
 The following transfers were asked for and granted: By the controller From contingent to election account, $2,152.SO; from contingent to board of selectmen, $7525. Bys the police com- missioners-The transfer of s2S.62 from maintaining and repairing buildings to renting polling places.
