 IER.1
 As predicted yesterday the result of Gov. Bulkeley's action in reprieving Murderer Swift was veto by his excellency of the bill which commutes his death sentence to im- prisonment for life. The veto came into the senate at Il o'clock in the hands of the exe- cutive secretary, Captain Prentice, who handed it to the messenger, who in turn placed it upon the clerks desk. Clerk Nc. Conville then read as follows:

 MORGAN G. BULKELEY,
 Governor. Hartford, April 5, 1889. Senators Clark and Coffin moved for delay and were seconded by Senator Sprague Senator Hall, who arose from sick bed tc be present for the first time this week, ob. jected to any delay. He respected the power and opinion of the governor, but no new facts had been, or could be presented, which would change a single vote in his judgment and hoped the resolution would be passed over the veto. Senator Cleveland supported Senator Hall. Senator Coffin re-opened the discussion at length. He was op. posed to capital punishment, but thought no more brutal murder had ever occurred and if ever death penalty should be infict- ed this was the time. Senator Hall said the Senate was not discussing the brutality of the murder, but whether the jury had made a mistake in bringing in a verdict of murder in the first degree. Senator Clark hoped Swift would hang as he deserved to. The vote to delay was defeated 12 to 9 and the resolution committing Swift's sentence over the veto was put on it's passage and carried, the vote being as follows:
 Yea-C!eveland, Morse, Graham, States, Gardner, Ayers, Mead, Read, Fuller, Cowles, Hall and Bartram-12.
 Nay-Robbins, Twitchell, Corbin, Parish, Catlin, Clark, Coffin and Sprague-8.
 The House will consider the veto Tuesday next.
 Governor Bulkeley, as predicted yester- 6ory hoa C1,Sf fo- I~1 from Thursday, which will be April IS.
 THE RETRIEVE.
 AS this is probably the first document of the kind ever issued in Connecticut, it's com. position will be interesting and caused Gov- ernor Bulkeley and his legal advisers con- thought and care. It was served by Executive Clerk Rood and Sheriff SpauId- ing early in the morning and was as follows:
 STATE CONNECTICUT, | To the Sheriff of the county of Hartford, and his deputiea; to the clerk of the Superior Court for fined in the jail of said county, under sentence of death, and to all persons whom it may concern: prieve to said John H. Swift ROW under sentence of death, passed by the Superior Court for Hart in said county, on the first Tuesday of December, of the State of Connecticut by virtue of the power vested in me Governor of said State by the Con- ttn0n aG h. hereby order @ that the execution he said John H; Swift Is hereby reprieyed until ,etWeen the hours of 10 o'clock in the forenooS and o'clock in the afternoon of said day. the said sen ,e executed as ordered and adiudeed by said court md warrant for such execution reciting he original order and sentence of the, said ,ourt and this reprieve shall be issued by he clerk of said Superior court and executed by the herin of said county, or his deputies in the same lad been ordered and adjudged by said court, that he 0 said execution should take place at the time State, at the Capitol in Hartford. this Lord one thousand eight hundred and ,,o 11.;. eighty nine and of the indepsndence of By His Excellency's command:
 Secretary of State. The only matter of importance passed by he House to-day was the bill making Hunt ngton probate district in itself, which was passed by vote of 126 to 57. The House djourned so that those members who chose night take the special train to Middletown 0 inspect the Industrial school: The judi iary was the only committee to sit to-day, nd it considered no bill of importance.
 IT TIcKELs MIR. o'cALLAGHAN. The committee on constitutional amend nents has reported favorably on the bill the prohibitory amendment to he people. It is safe to say that one mem- Ter of the committee did not vote with the majority on this report, and this is Repre- entative OCallaghan of Wallingford, who eeps a saloon there and complains that leg slative duties are detaining him from "his rofession." Not long ago the ladies' temperance organizations of Wallingfo1d made al rigorous fight before the coun- y commissioners against granting Rep O'Callaghan a license. Such @ Jig crowd was present that the commission 'leas court room. Mr. O'Callaghan finally riumphed and got his license z Many of the same ladies who objected to is license appeared before the committee as dvocates of the prohibitory amendment. To it in judgment upon these ladies who ap- 'ealed for their cause and be appealed to by he persons who attempted to take away his | cense tickled Representative O'Callaghan | lightly. He seemed to be enjoying the l ltuation. |
 COMMITTEE REPORTS. | The railroad committee reported adversely l n the bill to prevent discrimination in l reight rates on the ground that the matter ! } covered by the interstate commission, nd the committee on constitutional amend tents reported adversely on the bill chang lg senatorial representation.
