SUSPENDED,
The Heavy Hand of Justice
Laid Upon the COrrup-
tiOnists.
Cameron and Stearns Served with
the Papers Fresh from the
Judges Hand.
How they Take the Medicine.

Last Monday morning Messrs
Cameron and stearns, the two COM
missioners who have piled debt OF
$4,000 upon the people of Grant
county, were served with the papers
which suspended them from office
until an Investigation can be had, and
they are commanded to appear before
Judge kidder to answer for their
crimes. They came down to Big
stone with the expectation of being
| called upon to act as a canvassin Z
board and do the dirty work of the
ring, which everybody knew was to
| throw out enough votes to change
the county seat to Milbank and elect
| NJ Rutlege instead Of Mr.. Barron .
Their suspension came upon them
like a thunder-bolt from a clear sky,
rs they believed what the ring had
| told them, that as soon as the election
was over their prosecution won ld be
| dropped but they are commencing to
| learn that there IS no boys play in
| this matter and before the people get
| through With the thieves they Will
! hear some music from the full band
all along the line.
| The manner i'll which the coTrup-
| tionists received their suspension, IL
| lustrates the character of the III en-
as before givenin the HERALD. Cam
! erOn, the eI-Chairm2n, received the
! papers with imprecatlons and profan-
| ty and his usual amount OF buster,
swearing that he would make it cost
| the people something before he got
| through with them-as if he had not
made Il cost them the neat little sum
Of $50 .aa0 the past ten months. but
| his buster and bragadocio will not
save him, the cry of tie people, whose
rights he has trampled upon, has
been heard and he will have TO an
swer at The bar Of justice. MI.
~tparns. on the contrary, when he re-
cpiyed lis notice Of suspension, ap-
pcarpd to he truly repentant, stated
that he had followed the CHARM an,
surprising that Mr. Cameron knew
his business. If Mr.. Stearns had act
ed according to his own Judgment,
and not allowed any outside influence
to sWerye him from what his own
GOOD sense dictated as right, he would
not to-day be in the deplorahle plight
III which he is placed. It IS the old
story Of how evil communications
corrrpt good manners. lie has been
led around at the nod and beck of the
ring that has been robbing the county
and without mind of his own, he
has simply been tool III the hanas of
the men who have been manipulating
affairs, and must suffer the eoilse-
Quences.

 Arrangements for the Visit.
 General c. Irvine Walker, of Charleston, s. C., commandant of the Fourth South Carolina brigade, arrived here on the fast train from New York Monday afternoon, and with Mir. William M. Bird, also of Charles ton, met the officers of the First regiment relative to the visit of the command there in October. General Walker has his head quarters at the Allyn House during his visit in Hartford, and MT. Bird has been here for several days, being accustomed to visit the city every season. Both gentlemen are en- thusiastic concerning the trip, and believe that 1t will be in every respect satisfactory one. It is probable that the regiment will remain in Charleston during the Sunday and Monday following the celebration at York. town General Walker says his entire brigade will parade as escort. and review of both organizations will take place, in which Governor Bigelow, of Connecticut, and Governor Hagood, of South Carolina, will be the reviewing officers. General Walker visited the First regiment armory Monday, in company with Lieutenant Gov ernor Bulkeley, General Harbison and off cers of the command.

Death of Abiud Tutfle,

Mir. Abiud Futile, formerly of this city, died in Southington, Ct, yesterday, at the age of IS. The deceased was native of Mt Carmel, in this State, and came to New Haven in his youth. For 30 years he carried on the livery business where the Yale Theo- logical buildings stand. That was before the days of the railroads, and he often rented teams for trips to New York, Hartford Springfield and other places. Many of our older citizens will recollect the stables, and Futile for many years resided, and where all his children, of whom two sons and four daughters are living, were born. He sold out his livery business about 25 years ago, reno wing to Minnesoa, where he resided a number of years On the death of his wife, who was Miss Elizabeth Smith, of Foxon, an amiable and very estimable lady, he re- turned to this State. He settled in South ington, where he married Mrs. Polly Mat thews, a lady highly esteemed, and mother of MT. Matthews, of the firm of Spencer & Matthews, of this city, and of George Mat thews, hardware dealer in Philadelphia. His six living children are: Mrs. J. B. Crockett of Milford, Mrs. John N. Whidden of Plain field, N. J., Mrs. s. P. Stewart of Northfeld, Minn., and one unmarried daughter; and Mir. Lyman Futile of Faribault, Minn., and MT. Milo D. Futile, president of the Crockett & Futile Co.,, of this city. The deceased leaves an honest name, and was respected in all the relations of life.

The Fatal Accident to MT. Thorpe,


 Additional Particulars-The Inquest and
 Funeral.
 The Tunes reporter visited the scene of the fatal accident which befell MT. Joel A. Thorpe on Friday last The gentleman re- ferred to lives about half way between the town of Ltchhe1d and the society of North field, and is a well known cattle and horse stock raiser. He also has been in the habit of keeping several bulls for breeding pur- poses, and owned at the time of the accident fine four year old Devon bull. On Friday morning he said to his family that in the course of the day he should take the bull down to the brook and wash and clean him up and take him to the Watertown fair. The last seen of him was about ? o'clock on Friday afternoon, and soon after, it is supposed. he went to the lot where the animal was feeding, put rope on him and was leading him down steep hill towards the brook, when the animal pitched on to him. The ground shows marks where he must have been dragged part of the way and it looks as though he must have succeeded in getting on to his feet once or twice. but to no purpose. The ground is rocky and part of it is wet and swampy. When the body was discov- cred the face was pressed into the wet miry earth, and blood and pieces of clothing were found on the ground. It is great wonder that he was not seen during his strug- gle with the animal, as the place is in plain sight and only short distance from three houses and near road on which there is s great deal of travel. At the inquest ver- dict was rendered in accordance with the above particulars. Mir. Thorpe was 66 years old and leaves widow and three grown uI sons. His funeral was attended from hif late residence on Sunday afternoon.-Hart ford Tinaes

A NIiddletoNn Lady Nearly Killed. :.

Mrs. Dr. Ellsworth Burr was run over on the crossing at the insurance building on Main street, Middletown, very near her own residence, on Saturday evening last, by 8 horse and buggy driven by Charles H. Jones, the ice man. Not being known to the per- sons who took her up, she was taken to Woodward's drug store in an unconscious condition. Dr. Edgerton was summoned. He found her collar bone broken, an ugly bruise near the back of her head, her arms and other portions of her body were badly bruised and severe shock to her system was sustained. The usual restoratives were ap- piled but without effect, and she was at last taken to her residence in an unconscious state. There were grave doubts of her re- covery, but Monday evening the symptoms were considered favorable. Fast driving was the cause of the accident, although Mr. Jones says he was driving very slow.

Twenty Years Ago.

It is singular coincidence that the people of the United States were twenty years ago Monday engaged in fasting and prayer, under a proclamation of President Lincoln. It was the first year of the war, and the military misfortunes which began at Big Bethel and were followed by Bull Run and other defeats had done much toward depressing the spirits of the people. Accordingly Lincoln made September 26th, 1861, day of national hu- initiation, fasting and prayer, and it was so observed in all that part of the country which had been kept out of the control of the rebels Prayer was said in all the churches in this city and addresses delivered exhorting the people to greater godliness and supplicating the divine aid in the national distress.

Howard Avenue Hardening.


 A Hearing Before the Board of Public ing. The Board of Public Works held meeting
 last evening in rooms 10 and II City Hall for the purpose of hearing parties interested in the improvement of Howard avenue by hard ening or paving.
 Several property holders appeared in be- ! half of the petition, which was signed by Hon. John H. Leeds and fifteen others. Mr. 1 Leeds advocated the hardening. He said the l roadway in it's present condition was danger l ous to travel on account of the numerous holes He also advocated the lowering of the Howard avenue bridge as the present grade was an injury to property. Alexander Foote, Wm. B. Goodyear, Mr. Bradford, Moses Thomas, General George H. Ford, Vim. Bryan, ex-Mayor Lewis, Charles
 F. Armstrong and others favored the inn
 provement of the avenue as suggested in the
 petition.
 Edward Mccarthy favored the improve ment provided it was made permanent one. He did not favor top dressing, as it was too expensive on account of the continued re- pairs needed to keep it in order Benjamin Moves advocated the improve
 ment as asked for not only of this avenue,
 but of many others where improvements were absolutely needed, but said he did ob-
 iect to many foolish improvements that were
 ordered from time to time. He thought the city should pay for all improvements outside of the sidewalks. He thought the day would come when the city would desp1se the idea of
 taxing property holders for sewers and pave ments.
 After hearing parties in interest the board discussed the matter at some length in ex- ecutive session. The board were unanimous in their opinion that the avenue should be paved or hardened, and the majority favored the hardening with layer of stone six inches deep, similar to that laid in front of Hon. John H. Leeds residence It was voted to recommend such an im- provement, and also that the property hold CTS also petition for sewer to be laid in that l and other streets in the vicinity, with view
 to permanent pavement being laid at no distant day.
