YOUNG RUSSIAN pEMEnrEp.
Unfortunate Man Ordered Committed to a Retreat-No Ro,n, at Norwich State Hospital.

Saturday evening Constable Joseph H Bullock of Mansfiali i Center Iro o1gEt Freq Koruburky. aged 24. a Russian, to Willimantic, and lodged him in the cell room at police headquarters, the authorities of Mansfield requesting permission to do so.. Koruburky is alleged to be insane and for a number of days had been acting queerly up Storrs way. where he had been em- ployed about two years by Prof. A. G. Gulley of the c. A. c. It was feared that he would show violence and it was thought best to have him locked up. until a commission could be -ap- pointed to pass upon his mental con-
 lition.
 Koruburlxy. gave no trouble 5atIr- day evening, although he would not eat food of any nature. neither would he eat anything Sunday morning when breakfast was offered him Dy Captain Richmond. Sunday morning Constable Bullock, with Judge of Pre- bate L. J. Storrs of Mansfield came to Willir1antic and Drs. T. R. Parker and c. E. Simonds were sunnlcnei found to be insane Judge Storrs or dered the man committed psaa insa,,e retreat, but as the Norwich State hospital is filled he will be taken to Middletown today (MoaGay), although it looks as though he di1 not have .: long time for this world.
 Sunday, handcuffed as he was, Kor- uburky tore his clothing from himself, and Captain Richmond and Constable Bullock re-dressed him. It was but a few moments before he had torn his garments in shreds and was raving about his cell stark naked. singing like revivalist- His mania savers of the religious type. Sunday was the third day.that the poor fellow had not eaten food.

 SibIey Opposes Meltzsr Bill.

Sheriff Preston B. Sibley was at Hartford Friday to appear before the committee of labor of the general as sefnbIy relative to pending bills that provide against the future use Of con vict labor by state institutions. me hearing on the particular bill in which Sheriff Sibley is. interested dld not
 in discussing the proposed 1egisla ! tion, MT. Sibley says 1t Is his intenflon to get a ruling from the committee ae to whether. under the terms of tne li; plli; state instlt1ftions. II tho committee and legal authority rules that the jails are such. he will oppose the passage of the particular bill, which was tn- troduced by Representative Meltzer or Bridgeport. Tn discussing the matter, Mf. Sfbley said that If legfslation is enacted that will prevent the omcials of the Windllam county jail from let ting the prisoners out to work It Will mean big loss to the. county Last year the. prisoners earnings amounted to about $7,000. Of this amount 5000 was net profit, the other $2,0o0 having zone for assistants to supervise their work. Practically this revenue was produced from farm labor and oa jobs for which other workers wore not available.
 MT. Sibley contends that the jails are not state institutions, inasmucfl az they receive no state aid other than the $2.25 a week given for the board of prisoners The direction of the jails is in the hands of tho sheriffs of the various counties. they making the ap- poiritments of the jail officials and they also being held responsible for the proper management of the institutions under the county commissioners. who in turn are selected .iby: the represents tives of the various towns in the leyis- latur,e subject only to formal approval by the general assembly.

TAX OF 1s MILLS
Laid at Spseiat City Mestina-c Claim That City ls Not Being Run on Bus insss Principles or Getting Its Men- ey's Worth.

The special city meeting in Town nall saturday afternoon disclosed the fact that Willimantic is in grave dam ger of becoming bankrupt and follow ing disclosure of some of the condi- Llons existing the tax rate was raised rom 12 to IS mills which with the town tax of Il mills makes total of 14 mills on the dollar.
 There were but few in attendance al the meeting, only a dozen in all >Mayor D. F.. Dunn called the meeting to order and City Clerk A. c. Scrip tnre, read the call On motion of E. F. Bass, it was voted to lay a tax to meet the expenses of the city for the ensuing Financial year.
 There was a question ns to what this would be. Mayor Dunn said he desired low tax as well as anybody, the city that 1t was necessary to make some retrenchment somewhere. and that as soon as possible.
 The grand list last year amounted to $4.629,668, that with the twelve-mill tAx sAeuld have raiasa $55,23S.60 Be- state highways, about $500 from the state stock tax, approximately $500 from city licenses, $4,87s.93 from sewer assessments and about $1,700 from the police court, making the total revenue for the city $65.614.6s. The city's ex- penditures up to November 1 were $79,532, for November. &7s07.71. mak- ing a total of $S7, ,43s.71, leaving ds- ncit of $21,S25.0S for the past year. The mayor expressed the belief that one reason for the deficit was that the city was not getting what it actually paid for, and that the council was not using as much discretion as necessary in making the various expenditures that devoived upon it. He thought 1t good plan not to lay the city tax until after the assessors had fully completed their work upon the grand list.
 l. Ex-Alderman A. l.. Gelinas claimed that the trouble was that the city was only getting, about 65 cents on the dollar for each dollar expended. As an instance of the laxity prevalent in some quarters he cited the gutter on Bank street in front of the fire sta- tion that was in need of repair and could at the present time be put into good condition at an expense of $5 or $, but would probably be allowed to go without attention until much larger expense would be entailed. With a little judicious foresight the city could be saved considerable sums of money in just such matters.
 D. k. Bass made the statement that there was absolutely no question but that the city would very soon become is going at present. No business man would ever think of running his. busi- ness upon such a, plan. He believed that the city should pay as it went and if it could not pay to go without until such time as it could. He. moved that a tix of 13 mills be laid and that the common council keep within the receipts of the city this year, if pos- sible. The motion was carried. Ad- journment was then taken.
