He Knows How to Show Goods.
From the Chiru0O Tribune,


Can't. Howard, the American who
handles the Calling gun for Middle
tons forces, is, it appears. simply a
plain, everyday commercial traveller
for Connecticut firm, showing off its
goods.
He wants to sell the Canadian Gov
eminent some Cuttings, and he pro-
poses to make it clear that his house
puts perfectly trustworthy goods on
the market. Other firms may sell guns
that won't shoot, or, if they do shoot,
won't won't hit anything, but he DEM
onstrates not only that the Connecti-
cut Gatling-none sure without the
firm name blown in the breech-will
both shoot and hit.
"You observe, gentlemen" he may
be presumed to remark, as he rolls ov-
er a few half breeds, "that her range
is beautiful, that she doesn't waste
powder, that she works easily and
rapidly, and that she mows 'em. I'll
venture to observe that no house but
ours can put such gun on the market
at the price. All warranted. Take a
card"
When the National Drummers' AS
ISOLATION meets next fall we hope to see
Capt. Howard elected to the Presidency
to succeed Mulhatton.

The name of "Sueker Flat" a once
lively and prosperous town in Cali
fornia, will soon pass from atlas and
gazetteer. The main portion of the
town has been destroyed by fire, and
most of the dwelling houses have been
deserted or torn down. Even the main
street of what was once town has
been mined away, and it is impossible
to get through with team. A num-
Der of the deserted dwellings are in
good condition, and still look pretty
with their flower garden and creeping
vines and roses. But being unoccu-
pied the houses will soon tumble down
and the weeds will take the place of
the flowers and vines. The miners
exhausted the treasures that attracted
them to the locality, and there is moth
ing left to make human habitation of
the spot desirable.

Cutting ARRAY in Madison County.

A saloon at Skrainka granite quarries
i'm this county, about five miles north
west of this city, was the scene of a
bloody and serious atfray Sunday
morning about two O'Clock which it is
now thought will not result fatally. AT
the hour referred to John Simpson,
who is the quarry superintendent, was
tending bar and in row that occurred
he received a severe knitting at the
hands of young Tom O'Bannon, a son
of Frank O'Bannon, a well-knOwn and
respected citizen of this county. Simp-
sons wounds are as follows: A knife
wound in the fieshy part of the back,
not dangerous; slight cut across the
lower part of the left cheek aud cut
just below the left arm pit which PEN
etrated the left lung, in dangerous
proximity to the heart. The last de-
scribed wound was of such nature
that for several days his recovery was
doubtful, but DR.. Newberry who was
called in and rendered the man the
needed surgical treatment now believes
his patient will recover.
At the time of the affray there were
about dozen men present all OF whom
from what can be learned Were in an
advanced state Of intoXication, so that
the PioindeaLer has found great trou-
BILE in getting an Ineligible account of
the difficulty. Young O'Bannon's
friends says that on the Friday before
Simpson, in the same saloon, had
drawn a revolver on him and threaten
ed to kill him. On the other hand
there are those who assert that O'Ban-
non had displayed his knife during the
day at Skrainka, threatening to kill
somebody, and that he was the aggres-
sor in the cutting scrape. O'Bannon
does not say or seem to know whether
Simpson had or used a knife but eX-
hibits cut, slight flesh wound, on
his right thigh and several cuts made
in his clothing.
During Saturday, which was payday
for the granite cutters, there had been
considerable whiskey drank at Skrain-
ka resulting in quarrels and several
free fights. Even at that time there
was some blood-letting, for several men
are now nursing wounds made with
knives. Who did the cutting and
stabbing at that time seems to be
shrouded in darkness-the result of
either drunkenness or desire to shield
friends.
The defendant was arrested Sunday
by Sheriff Spiva and at once gave bond
in $500 with relatives as sureties for his
next Saturday, when the
examination on the charge
of assault with intent to kill occurs.
The state will be represented by Pros
ecuting Attorney Edwards and j. Per-
ry Johnson has been employed by the
defendant. The sworn evidence will
doubtless throw some light upon the
case. The affair i'm all its aspects, with
out considering at all the question of
is greatly to be regretted.

Appealing for Relief.

Johnson T. Platt was before the Board of Relief yesterday in the interest of Williams, Wells & Co.,, coal dealers, whose office is in the new depot. They returned their taxable list as 5, GOO and the assessors raised it S50:- OO0
 Professor Platt intimated to the Board of Relief that it was altogether too high a sum for the company to be assessed upon. He further argued that the city really had no claim upon them, inasmuch as their main office was not located in New Haven. They merely had an agency here. Coal was shipped here, but was immediately reshipped to other destinations.
 The assessors give as parallel case that of Benedict, Pardee & Co.,, who do a similar business and who are listed at ,000 and as local firm, while in the other case they are Considers" and should be taxed as are local dealers doing similar business.

LegfsIatiye Notes.

Following is the text of a petition present ed in the House yesterday by Representative Pigott, of New Haven. It referred to the Committee on Railroads.
 To the General Assembly of the State of Connecti cut:
 The undersigned petitioners being thereunto in structed and empowered by the vote of the direct ors of the New Haven and Derby railroad company would respectfully represent:
 That three hundred thousand dollars CS300,00o) of first mortgage bonds issued by said New Haven and Derby railroad company will become due and payable on the first day of May, 1888:
 That it is not probable that the company will be able to meet the same at their maturity from their income but rather that it will be necessary to pro- vide for them at that time by tine issue of other bonds of like tenor upon the property of the com pany. , They therefore pray your honorable body for the passage of authorizing the issue of the bonds of the company to the amount of S3o0,oo1, subject to the approval of it's stockholders in legal meeting assembled, to run for such length of time and at such rate of interest not exceeding | per cent per annum and upon such terms may be found expedent; such bonds, or the proceeds thereof, to be applied to the sole purpose of the renewal or payment of the first mortgage bonds of said con- pany outstanding, or for such other action re iative thereto may upon inquiry appear to be eXpedent necessary.
 And your petitioners will ever pray.
