BEING KILLED BY
 SLOW POISONING

New Haven. Dec. 14.-Coroner Mix Is Investigating the death of George Russell and Mrs. Albert Durand. Rus sell, who boarded with the Durands, died several months ago. A few weeks after his death the wife of a Deputy Sheriff brought to the Cor oner a letter which Russell had writ ten just before he died. It said that he was very ill at the home of the Durands. and. believed that he was being killed by slow poisoning. He asked that the Coroner be notified and an autopsy ordered in case he died. His letter said that his prop erty, which amounted to about .S5,- 900, was willed to the Durands.
 Coroner Mix did not order an au- topsy because of the fact that Rus sell had been dead several. weeks Russelrs property passed to the NDu- rands.
 Several days ago Mrs. Durand was suddenly taken i'll. She was remov- ed from her home on Edgewood avenue to the West Haven Sanf- tarium. a private institution. and died after two or three days illness.
 The case was brought to the Cor oner's attention, but he announces that he can find no evidence of pois- oning.

Hale of Glastonbury Gives Views on New England Apples to Bridgeport Cor respondent.

There was an article 6f consider able interest in the Farmer recently in regard to the address of J. H. Hale. of Glastonbury, before the State Board of Trade on the prospects for fruit growing in Connecticut. which subject is at the present time arous- ing a. great deal of attention all over the state. 1t having been proved in localities that this region is inferior to none in its possibilities for fruit growing, including apples, peaches. and grapes.
 - Special interest attaches to this question because agricultural values have sunk to a very low ebb, not only in Connecticut. but all over New Eng land. due for the most part to the migration of the people to the cen ters of population, or to the West and consequently the virtual aband- onment of farming land all through to be swinging the other way and through the development of the fruit growing industry, now just begin ming, the agricultural districts bid fair perity.
 MT. Hale himself has been one of the pioneers in the development work. owning and operating large peach South Glastonbury and Seymour. and through his activity in this work has been much in demand all over the state by associations engaged in pro noting new industry.
 On Wednesday evening of this week MT. Hale is going to address the Board of trade at Norwich on the apple subject. and invitations are be- ing put out all over the state for those interested to attend.
 Harry r. Porter. this city. who has been in correspondence with MT. Hale recently was in receipt of a letter from him fin which appeared the fol- lowings
 There is no question in my mind but that the hilly lands east of the Hudson River are the best in all America for apple growing.
 While just at the present time some of those from the far West are more beautiful, the Boston Apple Show last October shows that we can turn the trick as well as they and there is no COmparisOn." fH

MIX or the Seventy-second Company Coast Artillery died in his lonely cot tage on the Fort Screven Reserva- tion- The body will be buried with full military honors in the National Cemetery. in accordance with the last request of the dead soldier.
 Mix served in the Cuban campaign during the Spanish-Afnerican war, where he contracted the disease. His father died recently, leaving him S40,- 900, but the money was of no avail to him. His pay as soldier also had accumulated
 An interesting story is told of the discovery of the nature of Sergt Mix's disease Gen Adna R. Chaffee, retired, then commander of the de- pertinent in which Fort Screven is located, was on a tour Of inspection and was walking about the post with several officers Sergt- Mix and two or three of his comrades were saunt- erfng along and saluted the officers
 Gen Chafree was struck by the peculiar appearance of Mix.

Can it be true. as reported. that cthere was a gentlemen's agreement made between Senator Bulkeley and ex-Governor Mclean that the former would not enter the Senatorial fight for another term" A friend of the latter says.
 From what can learn after an in vestigation of this report I am satis- fed that Governor Mclean would never have gone into the Senatorial fight had he believed for a moment that Senator Bulkeley would run again or would run against him We all know how intimate these two gentle men have been in the past politically. and we an know that they have been the very waFnlest kind of friends. It Is true now that they are friends today but hardly in the same sense as that days gone by With this well-known Friendship between those two leaders fin the Republican party, 1t doesn't strike the Mclean men in Connecticut that Mclean would deliberately go in- to contest for a seat now occupied by Senator Bulkeley.
 This report may exercise a material Influence upon the coming Senatorial contest In substance. it is a charge of bad faith against Senator BuIkeiey. Dr which Ex-Gov. Mclean Is the vic tim

HOW TO AVERT HIGHER TAXES.

Besides kicking at the street car service, it is said that Bridgeport peo- pie will have tax rates to kick at too It IS asserted that the city will soon bage, that an increase of S32.OOO has already been voted to the salaries Of the firemen. that the schools gre Tn need of heavy expenditures &nd that the State tax will take about siS.vvV n year out of the municipal pocket. An increase of the tax rate from 15-S mills to something like IS mills Is pre- 6icted. It is to be remembered. too. that Bridgeport is one of the cities where they profess to have a 100 per purposes. If that contention can be maintained a tax of IS mills in that city would correspond to tax Of 27 mills here in Hartford where property goes in at about two-thirds of its act uaI value--Hartford Courant.
 Bridgeport has not a 100 ger cent valuation of all property for tax ppr- poses. Its homes and most if not all
 perchantfle enterprises are listed al full value. and the homes pay five eighths of the taxation An effort to raise all property to full valuation is fin progress. but is antagonized by the interests which have for years dodged their fair share of taxation They are even endeavoring to prevent public access to census and corporation re- turns. in order to estop the local as eessors from accurate information up- on which to base increased valuations. With all property listed at real value. Bridgeport could easily meet all nee essary expenses. make all needed inn provements and nay the State tax, and all this without increasing the tax rate. Tax equalization Is the solution of Bridgeport's main problem how to avert a higher tax rate.
