JUDGES GARRETT and Bryan re,
turned Thursday from Austin and
Giddings where they had been to
qualify, to the positions to which
they were recently appointed.
Judge Bryan tried his first criminal
case Thursday morning at Giddings,
sentencing John Copeland on a
charge of forgery to 16 1-3 years in
the penitentiary. 1t is related that
Copeland who has been tried in
several different places wrote to his
wife that he thought after his first
trial that when he was taken out,
that he was going to the penitentiary,
but that he had been iunketing
around over the state with body
guard until he didn't know but what
he would turn up in Congress be-
fore he stopped.

The Caldwell News, commenting
on the prospects of a cotton seed
oil mill company being organized
there, says of the Brennan oil mill
''The Brennan oil mill with an in
vested capital of sixty thousand dol
lars has been closed for the past
eight months. During that period
the people of both city and country
have discovered that every branch of
business has been sustaining heavy
losses. AS a consequence, the citi-
zens have recently organized stock
company with a capital of one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, to
enlarge the capacity of the mill and
secure improved machinery"

The item published in Friday
mornings BANNER under the head of
school notes stating that some of
the city teachers had not been paid
their salaries in full for three
months past has been found on in
vestigation to have been based on an
erroneous report to the BANNER.
The fact is that all city school scrip
had, at the date of the publication
of the item, been filed and paid by
the city treasurer in full, and if
there has been any delay on the
part of the city during the year it
has never lasted beyond a few days.

Under the constitution Il majority OF
the popular vote is ne ccssIry to an cleo

and failing that, the choice falls upon
the General Assembly. This year the
Senate has ten Democratic majority and
the House sixteen Republican majority
The official canvass of the returns at
the Secretary of States Office shows a
majority of &c for l. b. Morris of New
Haven, the Democratic candidate for
Governor.
The election was the first for State
officers under the new secret ballot law,
and in the count through the State sew
eral Prohi bition votes were rejected by
the moderators for having the word
''for" before the office named, while sew
eral thousand such were counted. Other
votes of each party were rejected for
various causes.
Prospect of a Deadlock.
The Republicans insist that the mat
ter should be inquired into and errors,
if found be corrected. The Democrats
claim that there is no going back on re-
turns, and the session opened to-day
with the prospect of a deadlock between
the two houses-the Senate declaring
Morris elected and the House refusing
and insisting on an investigation to be
followed by the declaration that no cleo
ton was effected, in which case the Re-
publicans would elect their candidate.
In case the two Houses continue to
stand apart, the present officers, all Re-
publicans, hold over. The Republicans
say that they are acting according to the
constitution in insisting on settling the
Governorship contest before anything
else, and in following that policy they
keep from minor State offices various
Democrats, whose apparent majorities
were much larger than that of Morris,
but the Republicans put the responsible
ity for this upon the Democrats.
Neither Party VIII Rsceds.
The situation is liable to assume differ

while the Democrats threaten to embar-

express every confidence that such ef-

Among the arrivals at the New Haven
hospital yesterday was Frederick Pattsr-
son. aged go years. the young brake
man who on December 5 fell from his
train on the Air Line road and had a leg
crushed, and who then dragged himself
up on the bank at the side of the track
and remained there an hour, without
care of any kind. He was not missed
from his train until before he reached
Willimantic on a train, the hands OF
which had discovered him at the side OF
the road. For two weeks he was de.
lirious with fever, although he received
the best of care from q physician and
nurse employed by the Consolidated
road. For this reason the stump of the
leg, amputation of course having been
necessary, has not healed as rapidly az
would have been the case under more
favorable circumstances.
No tidings have yet been received OF
Daniel y. Brew, the Hawleyv vile hat
manufacturer, who went to New York
one day i'll December and failed to re-
turn. There have been rumors lately
that he has been heard from in the west
but this is not so. His friends have
every reason to think that he il alive
have come to the conclusion that when
he went to New York he had no in.
tention of returning as he promised.

found in this locality, the previous on,
having been unearthed the day befor,

scheme has been to go into n store and
whilo soliciting orders incidentally men,

have an old account settled. He entered
a store in Hartford last week and asked
the proprietor to settle up a bill of 81

was stated the impostor LEFT tho store

supRKME COURT CASES.
A Waterbury Case Argued 1
Hartford Yesterday,


Hartford Yesterday,
The january term of the supreme
court opened in Hartford yesterday.
The first case heard was the Water
bury case of James Fare II vs. the
Waterbury Horse Railroad company.
The plaintiff was standing ON the track,
directing some workmen in q trench
dug under the tracks, and was injured
by being struck by y car. The driver
saw him and shouted to him when 100
feet away from him, but Farrell did not
hear the warning. The driver then paid
no more attention to Farrell until the
instant before the accident occurred,
being busted with removing the coup
ling pin so as 10 detach the horses from
the car preparatory 10 taking them
around the hole. The lower court de-
,cided that on the facts found the de-
PENDANT was not negligent, but that the
plaintiff was guilty of contributary neg
igence, and the court assessed only
nominal damages. The plaintiff claims
that the defendent was negligent and
that he himself was not also, that if he
were somewhat neg ligent his negligence
was not the proximate cause of the in
Jury. Webster and O'Neil for thC
plaintiff Terry and Bronson for the de-
PENDANT.
