Tie Shooting of Gen. Nelson.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Who furnished the pistol with which Gen.
Davis shot and killed Gen. VIM. Nelson is a
question that seems to agitate the public
mind Just at this time, and it is strange that
in all the accounts thus given, not one has
been correct was in Louisville at the
time of the occurrence, heard the report of
the pistol and at once crossed over the street
and entered the Gait house and proceed
ed to the room into which
the spectators had carried the dying gene
raj and saw him breathing his last. In a
moment his big heart was stilled in death.
Who caused the murder, for it was murder?
Nelson and Davis had had difficulty and
the latter felt aggrieved at the treatment he
had received, but after a conversation Davis
felt that he had freed his mind and given
Nelson to understand that he hsd behaved
ungentlernanly and unoficer like,
and with that he resolved
to let the matter drop. The difficulty was
soon noised abroad and Gov. Morton, who
was in Louisville at the time, sent to- Davis
and told him that Nelson had not only in
suited him grossly but cast an insult upon
the sovereign State of Indiana, and insisted
upon an immediate apology from Nelson OF
a summary punishment of him. Urged on
by the governor of his State, he resolved
to kill Nelson on sight. Morton
had no pistol, bat mutual friend
by the name of Gibson, known IS Capt.
Gibson. conveniently had one in his posses
sion, which he passed over to Davis and that
pistol was used in the shooting. Now, Capt.
Gibson's name has never been mentioned in
this connection, but the facts are that Nor
ton engaged Davis to commit the deed and
Gibson gave him the weapon.

SOUTH WATERFORD, May 1.-The past

The Reform Club met as usual Sunday
evening, and held what we should call n
cross between temperance and political
meeting. We were very much surprised
to hear one of the prime movers in the

charge that this movement was started to
help the election of our present County
Attorney. We say we were very much
surprised 70 hear this, when we have heard
the same party deny it time aud again in

IN NEMORIAM.

Lucyndia Bracket, wife OF Mr.. Leonard
Bracket, OF Dixfeld, aged 20 years.
The deceased was the daughter of Free
man Smith, OF Mexico. She had been mar
ried five years, and lived during that time
time about half a mile north of Dixheld
village. BY a sudden, short and severe III
ness, Mrs. Bracket departed this life on
the 9Th of April, 1880. She leaves hus-
band and two children, the youngest being
two and half years, to mourn her loss.
Now mingles with dust the fair form of one
Who was ever kind-hearted and true.
She had many friends. Her enemics? Nonel
But beloved by all whom she knew.
How vacant the place in the home which she
blessed,
Ere she left her earthly abodei
She has heard the swell DONE" and though
sadly missed,
She now Is ut home with her God.
Her faith was unbounded, rhope was serene,
Her life was consistent and true;
And at death she spoke OF q heavenly scene,
OF the "Beautifui Land" ever new.
To that happy land she has gone to reside,
In the home OF the good and the pure:
There with the redeemed she will ever abide,
Where naught can disturb or allure.
There sin cannot enter nor sorrow. nor pain,
There, death Is entirely unknown;
There, loved ones long parted shall all meet
again,
And each shall know his and her own.
May God bless the children she has len behind,
saviour, guide their dear little feet,
And, tather, protect them; Oh, to them be kind,
Until with their mother they meet.

ALMOST MURDERED. A colored man
pleaded his own case with marked effect in
Dallas, Texas, week ago. He was accused
Of murder, and had been convicted; the
Judge denied the motion for a new trial,
and asked the prisoner the customary ques-
ton if he had anything to say why judg-
ment should not be pronounced. The pris-
oner replied that he knew nothing he could
say would have any effect, since all the
forms of law had been observed, aud then
he went on TO review the case, exposed
the contradictory testimony of the witness
es, and finally sat down after burst of elo-
quence to which the Court was stranger.
So impressed was the Judge by his speech
that he at once said he believed the man
innocent, and would give him another tri-
al. The County Attorney dismissed the
case, and the prisoner walked out free
man. The local paper says he was COM
mon field hand and wholly uneducated.

SUIT AGAINST THE BETHEL STEAM
MILL.

The suit OF Albert l.. Burbank against
the Bethel Steam Mil Co. for $40, 900 dam
aces was finished Tuesday IN the Superior
Court The case has attracted considera-
Die attention throughout this section OF
the State.
In 1876 the Bethel steam mill was burn
ed. and the fire was communicated by an
exceedingly high wind 10 the buildings oI
Mr.. Burbank. which was situated near 10y.
IL was shown by the plaintiffs that this IRE
caugh, over the boiler aud was caused by
insufficient precautions in erecting and set
ting I'D the engine. The corporation had
no license 10 run an engine and although
they had charter, and were exempted
from taxation By vote of the town the
Judge ruled that these facts could not be
construed aS license. The mill was thus
4 nuisance and the company was liable for
any damage caused by lire. The defense
claimed that Il was not known that the IRE
caught from the engine, but might have
been communicated from spark from 4
passing locomotive. The case has occu-
pied several days. The plaintiff summon
ed eleven witnesses and the Defendants
twenty-three. The case was given TO the
Jury Monday night. Tuesday morning they
brought in verdict of -, S65, damages Tor
