CONNECTICUT TOWN ELECTIONS.
THE AMENDMENTS CARRIED.

The AMENDMENlS IAhhlED'
NO POLITICAL CHANGE IN THR TowSs-THB STATE
OFFICERS HENCEFoRTa TO DE CHOSEN IN THE
FALL.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Oct. 4.-The town elections for
town officers occurred in this State today. Local
questions entered largely into the selection oil the
officials consequently the elections have no partlcu
lar political significance, beyond the fact that the
Selectmen and Town Clerk constitute Board OF
Registration of Electors So far heard from there
are no very marked changes from last year.
In Hartford party lines were not strictly drawn
the First Selecman, Collector, Treasurer, and one
Assessor being on both tickets The Republican
Town Clerk is elected by 595 majority and the
First Selectman is a Republican. Nearly all the
other officers are Democratic.
The constitutional amendments changing the tlme
of holding the State election from Spring 10 tall,
making the term of office of the Governor aud other
State officers two years instead Of one and the amend
ment giving the Legislature forfeited
rights to an eector, were carried by large MAJOR
ity. The change in the time of holding elections
is the most important result of the vote to-day. ~-
Hartford voted for liquor license, which was
carried by about 100 majority. East Hartford
carried liquor license by two majority. Danbnry
voted no license The largest places generally voted
for license and the smaller towns are about equally
divided on the question.
NORWICH Conn, Oct. 4.-Many small towns under
the Local Option law vote no license, but the large
ones generally license. Norwich adopts both the
Constitutional amendments and votes license.

NEGLECT OF THE APPARENTLY DROWNED.

SIR: 1t is indeed difficult to believe such
things can be so in civilized communities but alas We
too frequently have sad evidence that they Referring
your editorial OF this date, on "Crowners Quest Law"
as applied in the OF DR. PoreOus. will state that 1t
il only repetition Of the ton the police OF New
York put II in the OF Capt Bevile who was 10
nhumanly left 10 drown by the captain OF the SOUND
steamer Bristol. In his the body was recovered
within twenty minutes from the time he fell into the
water yet the brutal police would not allow the slightest
attempt at resusctaOn made, allow the body 10
be removed from the thy water until the arrival Of
Coroner two hours afterward. In such cases the law
the word corpse plainly; II does not say anything
about person who is alive. According TO Webster, "a
corpse is the dead body OF human being" IL body
really s corpse is OF course useless TO attempt to
restore life; but how such fact be determined u
less some examination s madei Ii Is not Insanity,
Sir that permits such things, Ia brutal ignorance and
stupidity. Yours, truly, L. M. AkDkRsoS.
