WITNESSED BRIDGE DISASTER Joseph Halle Saw Great Quebec Span CoI!apsc-Describes Panic Which Followed. ----a

Joseph Halle, just returned from a visit in Canada, was an eye witness of the collapse of the great Quebec bridge, a disaster in which a number of lives were lost. MT. Halle had perched himself on a rock a little way out in the stream. to witness the hoisting of the giant center span into place and was as deeply absorbed as anyone in the stupendous undertak- ing when. without an instants warn ing, the mountainous mass of steel toppled and fell into the St. Lawrence.
 MT. Halle gives a vivid description of the scenes that followed. He had been present when thousands cheered the first upward movement from the water of the great mass of steel. Then handkerchiefs waved and there was a turmoil of enthusiasm.
 The scenes that immediately follow ed the disaster Mir. Halle describes as almost heartbreaking. Men shriek- ed and raved, women tore at their hair and fell fainting. The great throng was driven almost to momentary mad ness. The dazed and trembling thou sands, as a whole. was almost help less in the face of the terrible hap pening, but among the cooler and more resourceful there was quick and effective organization for rescue work
 Mir. Halle states that land for one of the approaches to the bridge was sold by one of his relatives.

 tax laid by county members of the Legislature at meeting held in this city a few days ago has been figured out in the office of the tax commits sioner at Hartford.
 Announcement was made Thursday afternoon of the share that each of the county towns will have to bear, the
 basis of apportionment being the to- tai income of each town from direct taxation during the past three years. As Putnam has a city government within it's limits, it is one of the
 country towns that raises a large tax, town and city revenue combined. and will therefore have to bear a heavy
 share of the $ao,0e0 county tax

 The apportionment for each town is as follows: Ashford. $257s5: Brook lyn. ss14,o2: Canterbury, s24s.67; Chaplin, $149.67; Eastford, $218.94: Hampton, s21s:a4: Hampton. s2ls.7o;

Ing, sault. known by French-speaking. residents as Boisselle. was ready to leave his home on the West side for the mill. Sault had been very ner- vous of late and also suffered from | loss of appetite. His wife remonstra- ted with him over his going to work So early, for operations at the plant 1 do not begin until ' o'clock. He per, sisted in his determination, however. and left the house.
 Daughter Found SauIt Dead. Still worried. Mrs. Sault called one of their daughters and directed her ! to go to the mill and be with the fa- ] theF. When she arrived in the spin ming department where he worked, she found him beside a window. He was already dead or nearly so, the floor covered with great pool of blood His razor, which he had never before
 taken to the mill. was lying near by: Miss Sault, who at that time did not know about the assault on Mr. Fisher, was struck with horror and shrieked for help, a watchman re- ! spending.
 Fishers Story of Fierce Assault MT. Fishers story to the coroner helped straighten out most of the mystery of the case. MT. Fisher, who department came early to the mill on Thursday morning to sattend to mat 1 ters requiring his attention. It must have been nearly o'clock when, as | he aseended the stairs to the depart ment where he and Sault were em-. ployed, Sault unexpectedly leaped upon him and struck him on the head with an iron weight. Fisher tumbled head l long down the stairway, Sault there- upon heaying the iron weight after l him and then he himself rushed down, 1 leaped upon the prostrate Fisher and beat him cruelty.
 Thought He KiIIeds Fisher. It is now believed that Sault was under the impression that he had kill l ed Fisher. and. with this thought in I his mind had ascended the stairs, taken his razor and ended his life. While Fisher has a cut over the 1 eye and face bruises, he is not seri- l ously hurt, though he remained off | duty during Thursday
 1 Fisher told the coroner that Sault
 and himself had not been on speaking | terms for long period of years. but 1 there had been no recent trouble be- l tween them. nor does Mir Fisher un- 1 derstand why Sault attacked him so l furiously. The whole affair, to F'ish- l er was like bolt of lightning out of
 a clear sky.

 It is believed that sault's mind had 1 become unbalanced through worry
 and recent poor health. He was a
 man of good reputation. sober and l hafdworking and of peaceful disposi- l tion.
