WEDNESDAY. JAN. 29. 1890.

Governor Bulkeley's attempt to dis honorably dismiss Colonel Cone. Lieu tenant Colonel Thompson and Major Smith, the three field officers of the First regiment, has caused much adverse comment of the governor, whose action is pronounced illegal by the best lawyers in the state. We sincerely hope the matter will be carried to the supreme court. We think that tribunal will decide in favor of the regimental officers. It now looks as if Governor Bulkeley had overstepped his authority. He may yet discover that he has virtually dis honorably dismissed himself, instead of dismissing the regimental officers. Con- necticut wants DO Czar in the governor P chair.

A Pipe Line for Milk.

New York people are to have their milk delivered to them through pipes hundred miles long, and within an hour or two after it is milked. A milk pipe line company has been formed at Middletown, N. Y., with a capital of $500, OOO. The milk is not to be sent through the pipes as water is from the reservoir, but is enclosed in large cylindrical cans, surrounded by water, which propels them. The managers of the enterprise claim that they can make . profit of one cent per gallon for any distance under 100 miles. If it shouldn't t be pump milk as we'll as pipe milk, it will be likely to be delivered to custo- mers in the shape of butter. -[ New Milford Gazette.

A Mexican Killed.

Between four and five o'clock on
Sunday morning near the quarry
north of Gay Hill, on the Santa Fe
road, and between the two places, a
Mexican whose name was not learn
ed and whom nobody knew was kill
ed by negro named Jim Tutson,
who lives just across the 1egua.
The reports as to the cause of the
killing are conflicting. Some are to
the effect that the negro was in the
act of robbing the Mexican, and
others that the Mexican was trying
to rob the negro, while there is still
another report that the trouble was
about woman. The negro says
that while he was sleeping with a
woman back of Wallace's store at
thequarry efelt the Mexican s hands
over his face. He had check for
nearly thirty dollars in his pocket,
and concluding that the Mexican
was trying to rob him, seized a pole,
struck him on the side ofsthe head
and broke his neck, causing instant
death. After Tutson killed the Mexi-
can he went and surrendered to the
constable of the precinct, Gus Schu-
maher, who brought him into town
on Sunday evening and lodged him
in the county jail. All of the reports
in regard to the real circumstances
of the killing were contradictory and
conflicting, but from all that the re-
porter could learn it is probable that
the killing was a murder and that
woman was the cause of it. About
fifteen negro wenches from Hells
Half Acre went up to the quarry
on Saturday. 1t is said to be reg
ular practice on Saturday nights for
the men employed at the quarries to
drink whisky and gamble all night
and to hold wild orgies with the
Jewd wenches from Brennan. This
has been going on for long time
and should be put a stop to. The
name off the Mexican who was kill
ed, was not known, but he worked
in the kitchen and assisted the cook
in Schwenke's boarding house where
about fifty quarry hands take their
meals.

Had an Arm Broken.

The little eight year-old daughter
of Mr.. L. B. Stockbridge met with a
painful accident yesterday morning
about eleven o'clock out at the old
Carter place, west of town where
she was visiting, and in which she
sustained broken arm. She was
walking along on the back gallery
and stepped in wet place on the
floor, which proved slippery. Losing
her footing, the little girl fell heavily
on her right side, and her right arm
was caught under her in such
manner as to squarely break it just
above the elbow joint. DR.. William
son, who was called into dress the
wound. says that owing to the limb
being broken so near the joint there
is possibility of the child carrying
a stiff arm all her life.

No Census Yet.

DR.. S. Bowers, who was in the
city from the Burton neighborhood
on Tuesday, informed tho reporter
Of the BANNER that no United States
census takers have visited that com.
munitY yet, and he expressed it as
his opinion that at least half of Pre-
cinct No. 4, in which Burton is situa-
ted was left out of the count He
said he never knew until last Satur-
day that any enumeration had ever
been appointed for that precinct,
when he was informed that Capt.
VIM. Jackson, formerly of Chappell
Hill, who lives on the IcNelly place,
had been. appointed. If Capt. Jack
son has any reason to give why he
did not take the census of the Bur-
ton neighborhood or any explanation
or suggestion whatever to offer he
will be accommodated through the
columns of the BANNER. Somebody
should notify Senator Coke of the
matter and have the census taken
or expose the failure and neglect to
take it. The representation in con-
gross is based on the population,
and it is a matter in which the entire
state is interested to see that the
figures are not suppressed or doc
tored.
