Morrill, Divorce Will Not Be Annulled

Judge Edwin B. Gager. in the Civil Superior Court this afternoon over ruled the petition in the suit of An toinette c. Merrill against Walter C.. Morrill,.
 The Morrills it will be remembered were divorced some time ago, Mrs. Nor Till obtaining the custody of their two minor children, but the husband as given the privilege of seeing his chill dren two months out of each year.
 Mrs. Merrill subsequently, married the Baron Won Ronlberg of Germany and removed with him and her two children to Berlin. MT. Merrill has brought suit to have the divorce pro- ceedings annulled, claiming that the mother is not a suitable woman at present to bring up the children, as they will undoubtedly be educated as German subjects though they are the offspring of Americans.
 The father also claims that the mother acted in contempt of court when he is not given the care of the children1at least for two months. The preliminary actions were gone through to-day with the result that the motion to expunge or strike out was over ruled.

Russell in a condition which would compel pity ill the most fiinty heart
 Mrs. Russell attributes her poverty to the fact that Mrs. Baker has not paid her the stated sum of s per week for each of the infants in her charge.
 The girl Oracle accuses a man nam ed Ed. Hinkley of Paterson, N. r., as -1e = her trouble. She is af- nicted with a nervous disease which has made her a wreck. She is in urg- ent need of treatment.
 Mrs. Russell says that Mrs. Baker her patron. obtained the infants which she farmed out from Boston parties and that the latter had not received the expected remittances and could therefore not pay Mrs. Russell for the keep of the infants
 The matter was reported to the po- lice this morning. They are inclined to disbelieve the story told by Mrs. Russell. Diligent inquiry on Gilbert street and the vicinity has failed to disclose any No. 24S or any person named Mrs. Charles Baker. Investi- gator Morrissey is working onaA the case this afternoon.

WOMAN CAUSED
 HIS DOWNFALL

George Gerhauser. who was arrested here last Wednesday by Detective Fox, and who was taken to Winsted for trial by Chief Wheeler of the po- lice of that city, was fined $50 and sent to jail for two months, by Judge Sey- mour, in the town court, yesterday morning. The authorities there at tribute the downfall of the man to the influence of the woman who accompan- jed him to this city and who was known here as his wife Gerhauser stole number of clocks and other ar ticles from The Goodwin & Kintz Company by whom he was employed, taking them out of the shop in a suit case. The Winsted authorities had no notice of the theft until the Bridge port detectives found the clocks in numbers sufficient to arouse suspicion in the local pawn shops. They were all recovered.
 The woman, who is known in Win sted as Mrs. Nellie Multhour. parted with Gerhauser with a great show of affection. She wept bitterly when he was taken away from his cell at po- lice headquarters. She has not ap- pearsd in Wfn8ted since and has not been seen in this city

The strength of a child.

1t is surprising to find how few parent1 know the great strength giving qua1ities of good oatmeal. Most of them thin1 of it as food for the sturdy Scotch or the brawny Englishman, and overlook its value as food for children. Every now and then mother will take to feed ing her children on Quaker Oats and will be astonished at their improvement in strength and vigor. Of course, she tells her friends, and they prove ;t for themselves, but every mother in the country should see that her children are strong and vigorous. Plenty of Quaker Oats, eaten often. will do it

 Asked what he meant by boundless capabilities, MT. Tesla said: "I am not prepared to go into the secret of this turbine, but it will drive vessel of any size, no matter how rough the water, at an incredible rate of speed. This can't be said of other things af1oat."
 twill it develop a speed exceeding forty knotS?" was asked.
 ''It has exceeded that, and much more. in fact, said the inventor. Tt will exceed fifty knots when have finished my experiment."
 Asked for & description of his speed developer, MT. Tesla said it was sim ply an improvement on the turbine with the aid of an explosive gas.
 "When I am ready to give public trials" he said, "you will find that my turbine will revolutionize sea-going travel and cause builders of Dread naughts to sit up and take notice. The turbine will give to America supre- macy in speed on the seas"

OF
 CONFEDERATE HERO

In the death of Col. William Lamb. soldier, lawyer, editor, merchant. which took place Tuesday, in Norfolk, Va, a wonderful career was terminal ed. Col. Lamb was best known as the Confederate Hero of Fort Fisher. He was once a resident of Bridgeport and in his yonger days was pupil at the school for young men, which was conducted by Rev. Henry Jones, on Washington avenue.
 His ties with Bridgeport were never entirely severed, for the reason that he was the brother-in-law of Mrs. Geo. l.. Porter, wife of Dr.. Porter. Mrs. Porter was the daughter of B. M. Chaffee of Providence, R. I. It was in Providence that Col. Lamb met and married her sister. This was before Lamb made his celebrated defense of Fort Fisher; when, in a seize of three days, in January, 1865. he held the fort, which was located near Wilmington, N. C., with force of 1900 men against 10000 Federal troops on land and 500 guns on the water. Butler and Por- ter, in command of the Union forces, lost more troops than Lamb had:
 The fort was later captured by a force under General Terry. A Con necticut regiment took possession of the strong hold and a Bridgeport man took from the files in the command CTS office, a military telegram, which reads:
 "Gen. Bragg. Sugar Loaf:-The en- emy are about to assault He out numbers us heavily. We are just man ming our parapets- They have ex- tended down the sea front outside and are firing very heavily. Enemy on the beach in front of us in very heavy force, not more than 700 yards from US. Nearly all land guns disabled. Attack! Attack, It is all can say and all you can do. Per H. c. Whiting, Mai Gen." This was the last despatch sent out from the fort.
 Bragg was then some 30 miles away. He made no response to the call Gu riously enough this document fell into the hands of Dr. Porter, and is pre- served by him as an interesting relic of the war, in which he himself play ed no undistinguished part.
 The South is full of anecdotes of Lamb He was known to every man who ran the blockade at Wilmington. The blockade runners always looked for the lights he set at night, and they never attempted to dash through the Federal fleet until all of the Colonei's signals were visible. When Fort Fish CT was taken a number of blockade runners were unaware of the fact and they actually ran under its guns be- fore they discovered that their friend Lamb was no longer in command Some were captured and others ran out for the last time, knowing that the profitable game of supplying the had ceased for all time

Saturday, March 27. RICHES DUGOUT OF SAND NEAR STARIN WRECK

The wreck of the steamer John H. Starin was laden with something be- sides bad luck. While wrecks are not desirable at any time the casting up not be regarded as wholly regretable by a portion of the community. Since the wreck boatmen and others have been at work about the place where the Starin struck and also along the route she took before she grounded. Oyster dredges and tongs have been used to bring to the surface portions of the cargo which were washed or thrown overheard.
 The work has in some instances been more profitable than oystering.
 One man who has been at work with oyster tongs, brought up 96 planes, which were part of the cargo, and which had been washed overheard. The case in which they were packed had been broken by the waves and the planes had sunk to the bottom. They are worth S2.50 each and the lucky finder has sold most of them at a small reduction from the regular price.
 Another man got 12 gold watches from the sand near the spot where the two Winchester rifles in the water near the spot which if found will be prize. They were made to order by the Winchester company at cost of $15o each. When they were lost the order was duplicated by working night and day to get them out on time. It is said that the rifles were ordered for Ex-President Roosevelt to take with him on his African trip. They have not been found since. A com bination lathe and planer, worth $1,500. was lost in the wreck and has not been found although there is rumor that an East End man dug it out of the sand the day after the wreck, and took it home.
 Several East End ladies are wear ing silk dresses which came from the wreck Several cases of valuable silks went overheard and were picked up along the shore. Large quantities of all kinds of hardware have been fshed out of the water near the scene.
 One of the most interesting of the finds was that of a young unmarried East End resident who picked up baby carriage built for twins. It is said he will hold it for future develop mentS.

TESLA PROMISES AMERICA
 SUPREMACY OF SEAS

Nikola Tesla, the inventor and cleo tricaI wizard whose inventions made it possible to harness Niagara, trans init the power enormous distances, and whose wireless discoveries have rev. oIutionazed the science of the world, is experimenting at the plant of the Am erican 6 British Manufacturing Co.,, in this city, with a new marine tur- btne that he says will give America supremacy on the high seas as it will propel sea-going vessels at from forty to fifty miles an hour.
 For several days experiments have been made secretly at the works of the American & British Company with craft having the appearance of C tor pedo boat destroyer. The experi- ments have proved, 1t Is said, the new turbine can develop speed that will make the records of the Lusitania and Mauretania fade into comparative in- significance. MT.

CITY AND VICINITY.
 Friday, March 2e WHAT TAX BILL WOULD DO IN BRIDGEPORT
CITY AND VICINITY.

At the meeting of the Committee on
 Tax Equalization last night the work
 to be done was informally discussed
 especially in connection with the Cor
 porate Excess Tax Bill which has bee1
 proposed by Tax Commissioner CoFbin.
 There are six members Of the conmit-
 tee, only three of whom were present.
 These were Chairman William Thomas. Alderman Griffin and Lynn w. Wilson. Alderman Finlan was absent on ac-
 count Of a severe illness.
 | N. S. Jones and Assessor Frank J. E1ughes. the appointees of Mayor Lee, Avere absent.
 ~ The committee does not regard itself
 as directly concerned with the Tax Excess bill. except in so far as the city 1nay be injured by the operation of the Ehfll through a failure of the committee to perform it's duties 1t was said by a member of the com k,nittee that the Corporate Excess Dill. ff adopted by the legislature, would have the effect of taking out of Bridge bort some $4so 900 a year.
 This condition comes about in this Iway. The Corporate Excess bill would ascertain the value of all corpor ations Ithat are now taxable for local revenues Boy taking the market value of its ketock. There would then be deducte1 the value of the personal property and @he renl estate upon which local taxes are laid. Then a tax of one per cent. Svould be laid upon the remainder. the Taking a single group of corpora Ifiens it was said that they are now taxed locally for about S12, COG. GOO
