TAFT AND LILLEY LETTERS.
Gets Congratulations from Men fof
 Whom He Voted.

Bristol, Nov 14.-Elias Burwell, Bristo's oldest citizen, who made the unusual record on November 3 of voting for his twentieth presidential candidate, was honored yesterday by receiving letters of congratulation from both President-elect Taft and Governor-elect George l.. Iilley. T. was about the proudest day that the aged gentleman has passed for long time. The letters are as fol- lows:

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

1t is not often that so many Italians are seen at the funeral of man not of their nationality as at the Gilmartin funeral this morning. It showed that the men thought much of their foreman and the very large funeral was fitting token of respect.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club foot ball team is ready to battle to-mor- row with the Annex team of New Haven. The Brooklyn squad has been materially strengthened dur ing the past weeek and expect to defeat their Elm City opponents. The Annex team on the other hand real izes that it, will be in line for the state championship should it win to- morrow, consequently will make big effort to go home winner.
 Oliver Boughton, six-year-old youth residing on Charles street had the distinction of being the first per son tagged in Brooklyn this morn ing. The little chap was up before 5:30 o'clock to-day and was down at Walkers store this morning at 6 o'clock when 1t opened, waiting to buy tag. He gave he clerk nickel for the tag, proudly buttoned it on his sweater jacket and skipped out of the store, rejoicing because he was the first to be tagged. The taggers in Brooklyn seemed to be having much success and the matrons re- ported that the money was coming fast. Mrs Louis Wright was station- ed at Walkers drug store while Mrs James NJ Lynch was at Smiths. Mrs Oscar Fitzsimons did Brooklyn in her automobile aided by six aides who went from house to house. Before o'clock $25 had been taken in at Walkers. The taggers bounced down upon the Brooklyn firemen when they heard that they had been paid. The fire fighters put the tag gers off early this morning, inform ing them to come aroud later in the morning So when the ghost walked at the house the place seemed to be alive with taggers. One lady resid- ing on Washington avenue sent dol lar to one of the. stations by letter, saying that she would be unable to get down to-day but wanted to help the cause.

ELECTION EXPENSES.
Some of the Candidates Paid Out Liberally.

Liberally.
 Peter Hook, candidate for senator, spent $19 on the election, according to the list of expenses filed. Lorenzo B. Baker spent $20.
 George l.. Lilley has not yet filed a statement of his election expenses but one of his political agents, Charles B. Montgomery of Waterbury, has filed a statement showing that he received $7O from MT Lilley on October 8. MT Montgomery spent $116.64, the difference between what MT Lilley gave him and what he expended, $46.64, evidently coming from his own pocket, since there Is no account of any money being received from any one else. Stamps and stamped envelopes took SIT, pamphlets $14, printing $7.5O, car fare $2.S4, vari- ous telephones $1.30, express charges 95 cents, three teams, $1.50; w. Lasch, ''one days work at polls. and car fare" $3.30; promised Jeanett Weeks, circular folding and wrapping" $4.50, and promised Fan ny Trippe for the same work $3.75.
 Mayor Thomas l.. Reilly of Meri- den, democratic candidate for con- gressman from the second district, has filed with the secretary of state his election account. He spent $511.50.
 Matthew E. O'Brien, prohibition candidate for governor, says that he spent nothing.
 Michael J. Byrne, probate district of Waterbury, $336.20.

MAYOR THOMS VETO
Says Cutting Up of School Dls. irIcis VIII Be Costly.

Mayor Thoms has vetoed the ac- ton taken by the board of aldermen at It's last meeting. cutting on Well ton park. or Fairmount, 1t is now called. from the Bunker Hill school district, and annexing 1t to the Wa terville school district. The reason gwen by the mayor is that tho Bunker Hill school district is in debi to the amount of $36,O00 and that the property cut off Is holden for portion of that indebtedness. and un- less this feature of the case is adjust ed he fears that litigation would fol- low, which might be very costly 10 the city. If this matter can be strengthened out by Waterville dis trict assuming such portion of the deDt as would come to Bunker Hill rom Fairmount, the mayor states that he should have no objection to the change. The veto will come be- lore the aldermen Monday night, but Just how 1t will be received is some- thing nobody knows The aldermen were unanimous in making the change, but of course this phase of the question did not occur to any of them, the only thing they had in mind being the fact that children at Fairmount have to walk about half mile to the Bunker Hill school, the route taking them over dangerous railroad crossing at the Brookside home. while the Waterville school is within very short distance of their homes.

WALSH SCHOOL FUMIGATED
Diphtheria Cases Have Developed
 There Within a Short Time.

The Walsh school was fumigated to-day by the health authorities be- cause of couple of cases of diph- theria that have developed there within the past ten days. One of the children died from the disease while the other is not in a serious condition. The children in both cases were about years of age.
 Although there was no signs of an epidemic the authorities thought 1t would be discreet to fumigate the building and destroy any germs that happsned to be in the school. One case developed last week and the otber on Wednesday of this week. There seems to be much scarlet fever and diphtheria in the city and all though none of the cases apparently is serious nevertheless they have a tendency to feep the public worried.

DEAD BASS IN POND.
Water Was Drawn on During Prog.
 ress of City Work.

Residents of East Morris say that d brook running from Beavers pond on the northeast of East Morris to the Wigwam reservoir is full of dead bass, and that it must have a bad ef- feet upon the water at the Branch. They claim that the water had been standing for some years in Beavers s pond until one day last week when one of the engineers of the city was doing work in that vicinity. The pond was we'll stocked with bass and bullheads. but the engineer drew on the water. The result was that much of the bass was left high and dry ou the banks of the brook after a day or two. and according to one of the men who lives in the neighborhood the brook should now be thorough, cleaned. In speaking about the mat ter to-day he said it certainly should be looked into by the water depart- ment.

DANBURY MURDER MYSTERY.
Body of Man With Throat Cut Found
 in Swamp by . Hunter.

Danbury, Nov 1.-The body of an unidentified man about 45 years or age was found dead in Neversink's swamp, about six miles from here, yesterday afternoon by William O'Hara, hunter. The mans throat had been cut and he had been dead but a. short time. He was well dressed. but the only thing about him that might lead to his identifica- ton was pawn ticket bearing the name of Jepson.
 When O'Hara notified the authori- ties he said that he thought the man had been murdered, as he saw no weapon with which the man could have cut his throat. but, on the other hand, he saw no evidence of a strug- gle. As the body was found late yesterday afternoon darkness pre- vented a careful search of the ground but an investigation was begun to- day. The body was found within the 1 limits of the town of Danbury and the authorities here will investigate.

The STORY.

r HE prophet Elisha returned from

perplexed. He had gone thlther under
the confident expectation OF amounting
Jehu king over Israel. but no word
had come from God directing such &C
ton. He bad waited impatiently for
several days looking for Divine light
and leading, but no Divine message
came, and at last he had returned
home, as We have said, disappointed
and deeply perplexed.
Years before when Elijah was about
to be taken from him into heaven he
had laid the solemn charge upon him
to anoint Jehu king over Israel, telling
him how the Lord had spoken TO him
IN the mountain and had told him that
Jehu was TO become king in the room
Of Ahab.
Al that time Jehu was a mere youth
promising, to be sure. but only be-
ginning his career IN the army-and
Elijah had understood that the time
