judgment Of over $1,000 was rendered
galnst Drs. Ira Davis Of Norwich, and Wm
Sweet Of Theiiord. for fraudenty obtaining
Pension money for couple of widows by
altering the dates Of the deaths of their hus-
band so as to bring the claims within the
act of Congress passed in 1896. The time
of the deeease Of the husbands was before
that year, and It was necessary by the act
that it should be after. The change was
made fraudulently, as 1t was proved that DR..
Sweat attended one Of the deceased, as ply
stefan, IN his last illness. This is made a
Penilentiary offence by statute, but a crim-
inal action was barred as the time had ex-
pred within which the law required the erin

1t is reported that the British Charge Affair
es at Theran has suspended his diplomatic rea-
tions with the Persian government, in conse-
quence of that Power having resolved, as it is
said, to take part against the Port and to march
an army to the frontier. This movement on the
part of the Shah of Persia had for some time
been apprehended, as his relations with Turkey
were such as to induce him to take advantage Of
the increasing difficulties of the Ottoman en-
pire. The news, however, still requires posi-

ASSESSMENT OF TAXES.
In reference to this matter, the Gov
ernor says:
An examination of this statement will
tend to give direct efficiency to any re-
formatory and economizng efforts, since
it places the responsibility Tor whatever
increase there has been in State expend-
diures, upon the department of Govern
menl TO which it properly belongs
Temporar; causes, however, have produ-
ced much of this increase.
The expenses of the last Gen. Assem-
ply have been made the subject of public
animadverson but when it is borne in
mind that upon that body devolved the
responsible and arduous duty of carrying
into effect the New Constitution, embra.
cling the reorganization of the entire
government, much Of this animadverslon
falls to the ground, as unmeriled.
The act providing for the organization
of the general Assembly," will if strictly
observed obviate allfuture cause of com.
plant. The unnecessary absence OF mem
bers has been checked, sinecures have
been abolished, oil waste OF public time
and means has been guarded against, and
thus most saIutary spiri, will be impart-
ed 10 tho whole Government.
