Cumberland by a cleverly-exeeuted manuvsr
by which Browns Ferry fell into the hands OF
the Union forces, and new line Of cOmmuni-

In 1852 Judge FCaZey was made Colonel OF

regiment won great credit, his regiment form

THE USUAL RESULT OF THE EMPLOY
MEST OF PINKEKToN MEN.


In the employment of force of Pinkerton
detectives 10 guard their property during
the strike, the management of the New York
Central Railroad made mistake. There
had been 10 violence anywhere along the
line till these mereenaries appeared on the
scene armed with Winchester rifles. Then,
as experience in the past has shown to be
the inevitable result, there was bloodshed.
Matters grew steadily worse at Albany
till Sunday OF this week when the detectives,
growing more reckless, amused themselves
by firing from the tops Of moving trains.
Several persons were seriously wounded,
one woman standing at her own door.
Naturally the people were so inceused that
the local police had 10 interfere to save the
Pinkerton force from mob violence.
The company had no reason 10 import
these men and place rifles in their hands,
when the local authorities had made no
request for assistance. in fact the Chief of
Police at Albany protested that he could
keep the peace, and objected formally TO the
presence Of the PinkeTton men as preiudicial
to good order
1t is contrary 10 the spirit of our institu-
tons TO 90 beyond the County for force TO
settle disturbance, except when the local
authorities have shown their inability to
cope with the difficulty. No such emergency
had arisen on the Central, nor did the situa-
ton indicate the probability of such con
dition Of affairs
Again, the character of the Pinkerton men
IS such that the company should have en-
ployed them only rs a last resort. II is
commonly believed that thcse men are des-
peradoes, without regard for life and without
moral computations against committing any
| act their reckless fancy might dictate They
were brought from a distance, where the
presence Of relatives and friends was wanting
to restrain them, and they did not care who
they killed, or how many people they
wounded. The strike has been aggravated
by their participation in it, and the company
has sacrificed public respect by their en-
ployment.
The first thing Mr.. H. Walker Webb
should do is TO send these men, with their
Winchesters, back to Chicago

ISLANDER ALLEG ED.

Serious Charges Preferred Against
 Thomas F. Mcdonald.
 Thomas F. Mcdonald of this city has brought suit against his brother-in-law, Luke Bowen of New britain, for S5,OOO damages for islander. Yesterday Con- stable Thomas Chapman of Hartford served writ on Mir Bowen and attached the stock and fixtures in his saloon in New Britain. The place was cleaned out and the attached property was placed in charge of Constable Cohen who had it removed to the cellar under his store. The case will come up for trial at the next term of the superior court in this city.
 The suit is for islander arising out of a statement which, 1t is alleged, Mir Bowen made regarding Mr McDonald's s connection with fire that took place in the latter's premises in this city about two years ago.
 In the district court recently McDon- aid was given a judgment against Bowen to recover upon d book account and this led to the present trouble. Attorney Flaherty of Hartford has been retained by the plaintiff and City Attor- ney Markley of New Britain will defend Bowen.

 BRIDGEPoRT, May 23.-Late yesterday afternoon the defense in the case of Jacob Scheele, on trial for the murder of Constable Drucker at New Canaan, finished it's case, pleading justifiable homicide. They also tried to prove the prisoners insanity. This morning the state introduced several experts on insanity to refute the testimony offered. The general impression is that Scheele will be convicted on this trial.
 The physicians who were examined as experts all testified that they failed to find any indications of insanity and left the jury to infer that in their judgment the man was simply of an ugly disposi- tiOn.
