LAZY LETTER CARRIERS.
4 Little Green Card That Keeps a watcl
 Upon Them.

4 Little Green Card That Keeps a Watch
 Upon Them.
 There is little green card in use by the Post-ofiice Department that is q terror to some of the more careless let ter-carriers. It is a terror only when they have once been caught Very seldom, indeed, are they caught the second time. This card is dropped in letter-box, and on it is marked the time 1t was put in, and also the time it should be taken out by the carrier. A record is kept by the chief Of the car riers and if that little card does not turn up with the pther mail with which it is due, it is clearly to be seen that the carrier has not taken the mail from that particular box.
 The object, of course, is to test the reliability of the carriers. Where there is any complaint on the part of the citi- zons about the tardineSs of local mails, then, little green card is dropped in one or more boxes in the district from which the complaint comes. Sometimes it shows carelessness on the part of the carrier and sometimes it does not It is, however, not necessary that there should be complaints, for frequently the cards are put in the boxes of the most efficient men. Of course, they are happy when they discover them. But where box is missed in which there is a green card then the carrier is bound to get into trouble. and very serious trouble at that
 This card has been in use by the Post-office Department for a good many years in all parts of the country. They were first used in this city under the administration of Postmaster Huide- Roper. They are furnished by requisi- tion upon the Department at Washing. ton. Times.

Judge Morris Receives q Majority or
 ForIy-Two Votes.
 HARTFORD, Nov 7.-At 2:45 o'clock this afternoon the Hartford Times re- ceived official figures from the office of secretary of state, showing that Judge Morris is elected by the people, having received majority of 42
 HARTFORD TELEGRAM FIGURES.
 Morris has been elected governor by the people of Connecticut. He has a clear majority so far as can now be as- certained, of 65 votes, and the later cor rections on the official returns as received by the secretary of state, will not change this by 10 votes one way or the other. The vote now stands as follows: Nor ris 67, ,673, Merwin 63,970, Auger 3,39S, scattering 240. Later returns show that we have gained another state senator. This makes the senate stand democI ats F, republicans 2, a democratic majority of 10. In the house the democrats have 11S, and the republicans 134, a repub- lican majority on joint ballot of 6. HARTFORD CoURANT FIGURES.
 "The Connecticut legislature shows by revision of the Courant's figures: Senate republicans, IF democrats house 134 republicans, 119 democrats; republican majority on joint ballot four; but one republican member (trOm WlltOn) whO had one vote more than his opponent, was declared defeated because the ticket said flor" representative. This claim will not be sustained. The state vote at the present time shows Merwin 63, ,967, Morris 67,663, Auger 3,469, scattering 257. Morris lacks 31 of majority. In this calculation 14 towns are unofficial. Their prohibition and scattering vote is received by Telegraph and reckoned as 205. Two years ago the same towns gave 267 prohibition and scattering" NEW HAVEN NEWS FIGURES. Corr, cted returns in Hartford late yesterday afternoon showed Morris's vot ( to be 67 ,643 against a total of 67, ,626 foI the other candidates. This leaves Morris's majority F with the prohibi tion and scattering votes in several towns still to be heard from. As some of the towns show no prohibition vote there is probability that Morris's ma jority may not be wiped out. Although the election of Morris is still in doubt the other democratic candidates on the state ticket are elected by majorities ranging from 300 to 700.

HIRED CONTRACT LABOR.
A Bridgeport HungRrlRn's violation
 of the Law,

oI IhC A4h"s
 BRIDGEPORT, Nov 7.-About three weeks ago D. J. Marich, a Hungarian barber of this city, suddenly left town, after selling his barber shop at a sacri- fee. He told his friends that he was obliged to go back to Hungary at once, as his father was dying. It is now be- lieved that he left Bridgeport for far different reason,
 About a year ago he sent steamship ticket to a relative of his in the old coun- try, and he came over and worked for him, presumably at a much lower price than he could hire man in thlS country. The temptation to obtain cheap labor could not be resisted, and he wrote for another of his countrymen to come over, and he did about six months ago. Quite recently Marich brought over another Hungarian barber, and all of those mon are employed here. Marichs action is a violation of the con- tract labor law, which provides that no labor shall be imported which has pre- viously been contracted for. The penal. ties attaching to this law are heavy.
 Recently United States Marshal Strong has been investigating the case and Marich became aware of the fact and left town, owing few small creditors. Marshal Strong was seen to-day and ask ed few questions concerning the case. He said that Marich undoubtedly had been importing contract labor in viola tion of the law. He also said: 'If one or two men had been imported for Marich's own establishment no great wrong would be done perhaps, but when @ man gets his hand in he is apt to go farther. They | make three years contracts with barbers in Hungary and then after they get here turn them over to some of their friends, receiving bonus for the transaction. Such a system would result in great harm"

SUDDEN DEATH.
A, =. Mace Found Dead in His Room
 in HSllmann's Hotel.

in HSllmann's Hotel.
 A. S. Mace was found dead in his room in the Hellmann hotel on Grand street, this morning. Mace, who was employed at Davis & Co.'S laundry, had been troubled with a severe cold since Tuesday, and complained more or less of lung troubles. He was feeling better yes terday afternoon. This morning MT Hellmann called at the room to see hIm and was surprised to find him dead. The medical examiner was notified and also Dr Frost. Both expressed the opinion that the man must have been taken with a severe coughing spell, and that he be- ing subject to heart troubles, this has, tened his death.
 Mir Davis was seen this morning. He said that Mace had been in his employ for four years, was good, faithful worker and an exceptionally bright man. His mother lives in Newburg. His father used to be prominent law yer of that place. Mace was about A years old. Mir Davis will look after the funeral arrangements.
 It seems that Mace had a premonitioD of his death. Monday morning he told Mrs Haase, at whose house he boarded, on Grand street, that he was unwell and expected te die. He appear ed Respondent, but it was not thought that his condition was as serious as he feared.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvENTION.

What The senate Is Advised to DO
 With It's Partisan Power.
 "If' remarked a democrat to-day, "it turns out to be true that Gen Merwin's election is assured by the legislature, then the democratic party should do two things"
 Ut should, in the first place, repledgs itself to Judge Morris, with the under standing that no other democrat shall be given the nomination, so long as he lives, until he has been inaugurated governor. Twice he has been elected by the people and, if defeated now, twice he will have been defrauded by a constitutional pro- vision which has no moral grounds to stand on. I now declare myself for Nor ris in 1892"
 Secondly, the democratic majority in the state senate should peremptorily re- fuse to transact any business whatever until justice has been done the people of the state. When the house shall have passed a resolution providing for a con- stitutional convention and the senate has concurrently done the same, and the governor has signed it. then will be time enough to proceed with business. Call this filibustering or what you will, it is a fight for what is right and just, and is therefore justifiable. This biennial over turning of the will of the people is dis grace to the state and disgrace to the nation. The plan has been discussed by many to-day, including many republi- cans, and been approved"

GOV. NICHOLS is mOsC severely
criticised for the lack of energy. lore
sight, and business sense in not pre-
venting the destruction Of the old
Morganza levee. The best engineer
ing authority declares that the Ievee
could have been saved and that the
state government is directly respon-
sble for the immense damage in
flicted upon the $4,000, 900 of valua-
bic property thus exposed to destruc
ton. Commenting on this condition
of affairs, the Times Democrat pro-
nounces the structures as deserved as
they are severe, and cites other in
stances OF the backwardness of the
Governor in assuming responsible
Ity under emergency and meeting the
demands of difficult and unexpected
circumstances. The responsible head
OF great state should have a head
OF mis- own, and if the extraordinary
powers that are necessary to save
from disaster and death are not clear
ly his by constitutional provisions he
should make them his by promptly
assuming every authority and the
exercise of every power needed to
meet the eXegenCies that arise.
