ANorHEa SAMPLE CASE.

rasthfu, and competent Clerk
Turned Out without Cause -
Gnunky Reply ia an Empudent he
quest.
In June, 1883, Mr.. Ed. Munger, of ESSEX,
was appointed railway postal clerk between
Hartford and Saybrook. He has been twice
promoted and has passed Eve examinations,
never receiving less than SO per cent. His
last examination was July 81, 1888, when his
percentage was 80 $500. as shown by official
statement furnished him by E. L. Champlin,
chief clerk of the division. The next official
communication received by Mr.. Munger was
dated at Washington, August 10, and is from
the general superintendent of railway mail
service, informing him that IAN order has
been issued disappointing your pay and ssr-
vices as railway postal clerk of class be-
tween Hartford and Saybrook." At the came
time came note from Chief Clerk Chsmpi1n
dated August IS, reading as follows: "F D.

the position now held by you were mailed to

trust you will give him all the assistance he
may need shall be glad to hear from you

Mr. Munger, who was naturally somewhat
surprised at this method of promotion by the
new civil service rules, replied to this note as
follows:

This is case precisely like that of Julins

The solIdIty and success Of the Capital
City.
Hartford is getting little uneasy over
in the State in population, and the appear
ance of the new Hartford directory has been
looked for with uneasiness. Hartforders.
however, takes courage as the following from
yesterdays Courant (editorialIy) indicates:
ttGeer's Hartfor directory for 1888 is now
completed and will be ready tomorrow or
next day. 1t is, as for years it has been. full
of information. The most important general
fact that it furnishes is that the population
of the city is now 81 ,4SS. This is reached by
assuming that the total number OF people
bears the same ratio to the names in the
directory that was borne in 1880, when an
official census was taken and when the ratio
was 2.5543. The record shows that houses
are in great demand and that the city is
growing and hourishing. No one can look
not only with its merits. but with the prog
ress, the solidity and the success of Hart
ford"
The number of names in the Hartford di-
rectory this year is %, 504, an increase of 800
over last year, which, taking the basis of
25543 to each name, proportion which is
believed to be very nearly accurate, gives an
increase in population during the year of
2, 526, and would show a total population
July, 1888, of 81, 483. There were erased
from last years directory 4,175 names, 5,165
names were added and 8, 1853 corrections were
made. To the general directory % pages
were added, to the business directory and
to the historical matter, etc., IL. The gain
in the number of names, 900, is greater than
in any year since 1871, with the exception of
1882 and 1888, the figures being as follows:
1871, 1881; 1872, 775; 1878, 321; 1874, 1877;
1875, 1852; 1876, AL; 1877, 1872; 1878, 80;

SUICIDAL ATTEMPT.


Despair Tempts Andrew Remington
To shoot Mimself, But she Bullet
Wound was Not Fatal-Better Last
Night.
Shortly after six O'Clock yesterday morn
ing Officer SelleclS. stationed at Crown and
Church streets, was told that a man had shot
drew Goodman on Crown street. He hast
sned to the spot, and on the way met his
wife of A. P. Remington, saloon keeper.
at the corner of Crown and Gregson streets.
She was weeping bitterly and handed the
officer pistol. She briefly told the story of
the affair About ak O'Clock her husband
called her and requested her to 60 to the ga
loon across the street and bring him drink.
He then kissed her affectionately and she
hurried to comply with his request. Upon
her return she was startled by groan as she
reached the head of the stairs. When she
entered the kitchen she was Mortified by the
sight that met her eyes. Her husband lay
on his back, his hands to his bleeding tenn
pie and the pistol by his side. Friday and
Saturday he was ont of town. Yesterday he
complained that he had lost money during
his trip and he was given to dependency.
This dependency was probably the cause
that led him to attempt self-destructioE.
The officer went upstairs and found him
lying on the lounge moaning. The blood
flowed freely from bullet wound in the
right of his head. He wore his pants, shirt
and shoes, but no vest or coat.
Word was quickly given to police head
quarters and the medical examiner, accom-
panied by DR.. Carmalt, arrived at Henning-
sons about $3.50. The man was found to be
suffering from loss of blood, but the doctors
thought the bullet had not entered the brain.
He was taken to the hospital, where he re-
covered consciousness, and in explanation of
his deed said that he was disguised with
himself.
He was generally thought to be of an in
dustrious disposition. He formerly kept q
place in Westville. Word was received by
telephone from the hospital last evening that
the injured man was better and likely to re-
cover if Inflammation does not set in.

REPUBLICAN ENTHUSIA SIM


Eastern Connections Republicans Acc
tive-A Day of Flag RaIsinE-SiK Re-
publican Banners Flung to the
Breeze.
The Republicans of Killiugly had an en-.
thusiastic campaign opening on Saturday
afternoon. Two drum corps furnished the
music, and Colonel Charles A. Russell OF
Dayville, E. s. Hinckley of Norwich and
others made addresses. Banners were thrown
to the breeze at Dayville, Williamsville, Alta
waugan, Ballouville and Putnam Heights.
At Ballouville handsome Wightman banner
was unfurled; at Williamsville two flags, and
flags at Attawaugan, Dsyville and Putnam
Heights.
The exercises began in Dayville at $3.50
O'Clock p. m. The entire village turned
out to honor their townsman, Colonel Rus
sell, who talked ably and knowingly on the
benefits of the protective tariff to them az
manufacturers, workmsn and farmers.
Carriages were then furnished and zoe
persons were conveyed to W1lliamsvilIe,
where E. S. Hinck1ey made stirring speech
in which he presented the Republican idea
of protection as q law of nature. About a
quarter of mile from this village flag was
thrown out ana cneereQ as b0e CrOWQ passed.
At Attawaugan Colonel Russell addressed
the people upon the bearing of the protective
tariff upon the manufacturing interests OF
the valley. At Ballouville e. g. Hinckley
presented clearly ''the work to be done and
the duty of the American citizen in the
premises At Putnam Heights a great
crowd assembled and fine speeches
were made by Dol. Russell, closing
with new poiris of value upon the tariff and
graphic review of the administrations po
sition with reference to pensions, etc. The
| last meeting was closed at about Z o'clock II
| the evening. A large crowd of people fol
| lowed the speakers from village to village
and the frequent applause showed that the
Killingly Republicans are wide awake. It Il
many day since KilIingly has seen such
political demonstration. The speeches wer
1 vigorous and to the point. Col. Russell
made series of addresses marked by origi
| nalitg, scholarship and force, and won tn
golden opinion of his hearers. The day wal
one that will be long remembered by all.

II A Washington dispatch to the New York
Star says: "There was recently published
statement that it was discovered among the
papers of General Sheridan that life insur-
ance policy of $15, 900 had been placed for
him by his friend General w. B. franklin,
of Hartford. A friend of the family cor
reefs this, and the correction shows what q
generous friend General Sheridan had in his
old war comrade General Alger. 1t appears
that few years ago General Alger, at that
time governor of Michigan, gave General
Sheridan SIC. 900 in money, upon condition
that it should be invested in a life insurance
policy, and that the policy should be kept
ND for the benefit of his widow. The money
was invested in policy for S25, 900, and in
curry since the death of General Sheridan, at
the Office of the company, was answered by
a statement that there had been no default in
the payments upon the policy.
