The Couranf's Willimantic correspond ent writes: .sA case of remarkable inter est regarding diseased cattle has just come to light. Hon E. H. Hyde, chairman of the committee on diseases of domestic ani. malls, on notification of the authorities of the town of Monroe, visited that place re. gently to examine some diseased cattle, fears being entertained of bad infection. Thinking the disease might possibly prove to be pleuro-pneumonia Mir. Hyde made an examination, which led him to believe the case to be one of tuberculosis or bron- chial pneumonia. He then called in the New York inspector from the bureau of animal industry. Upon post mortem ex- animation of the animal it was found that the disease was worms in the lungs, and the theory is that it was probably intro duced by calves brought to the place last fall, the disease being 8 common one among them, but very uncommon in grown animals"

The senate has refused to go behind the official returns, and declares Luzon B. Morris the governor-elect of Connecticut by majority over all of 26 votes. The house will not consent to the acceptance of the official returns without such an invest igation as they demand. The house has referred tho election returns to commit tee which doubtless will report that legis- -latiye investigation into the legality of the acts of certain moderators and counters in certain towns is demanded by apparent er- TOTS on the face of the official lists return ed by them. By taking recess until 10 o'clock this morning instead of adjourn ing, the house prolonged it's first legisla- tive day, and thus avoids obeying that pro- vision of the constitution which provides for the election of governor by joint bal lot on the second legislative day if no can- didate was found to be elected on the first day of the session. Sc long .as the dead lock between the two houses on the gov ernorship continues, the house will proba- ply continue in this manner its first legis- ative day. The present condition of af- fairs consequently finds it's logical outcome in the retention in office of the present state officers. It will continue to be Gov. Bulkeley until the two houses agree as to hls successor.

I'm Hebron s'North Pond" case, on trial at Willimantic, has been adjourned for argu- ment until the 18th inst. correspondent of the Hartford Times gives the towns side. of the.case, as follows:
 The pond is a natural body of water, and from time immemorial the public has. always enjoyed free access to it and no one (sO far as any one can testify) has ever sought to in- terfere or set up any claim of private owner ship, until P. w. Turner came into possess sion of the shore of the pond by purchase and lease from adjoining proprietors. This occurred, think, in 1870; in 1871 the legisa lature passed an act (mainly, it is supposed, through P. w. Turner's infuence), declaring ponds the whole shore of which is owned by any one individual or corporation, to be pri- vate property. At ths time Turner claimed the ownership of the pond by virtue of this act. The following legislature rep aied this act, so far as it related to this body of water. Subsequent to this repeal, am not aware that Turner made any further claim that the pond was his private property till some three or four years ago, when it came out that he claimed to have deeds conveying to him not only the land adjoining the pond, but also the land under it, and that the pond was his private property by virtue of these deeds. The town denies that he has any deeds to the land under this pond, of such 8 character 'aa te convey to him any valid title. The high way was voted by the town in order that the public might be able to reach the pond, for the enjoyment of the rights and privileges thereon without trespass. What the town of Hebron desires IS not to deprive MT. Turner of any right he actually possesses, but rather the defense of the vights of the public, and, if the ground is really private property and be- longs to MT. Turner, to have him clearly prove his title to it before court of compe- tent jurisdiction, and so have the whole con troversy ended.

THE republican legislative caucus on Tues day evening unanimously nominated for speaker Allen W. Page of Huntington, for clerk and assistant Samuel A. Eddy of Can- aan, and Andrew F. Gates of Lebanon, who filled those offices iu 1889. Among the door keepers Holland County has Alfred l.. Bissell of Hebron, and Frank R. Jackson of Wood stock was named for one of theg messengers, all of whom were chosen by the legislature at the opening Among the democratic nomi- nees were James Fitzgerald of Rockville for assistant. clerk, and Robert Hampston of Stafford Springs for messenger. In, the sen ate, where the democrats prevail, Charles F. Comstock of Montyille is chosen clerk, and James F. Carroll of Rockville is one of the messengers. The Springfield Republican s Hartford correspondent thus tersely and fair ly describes the situation:
 The senate has 10 democratic majority and the house 16 republican majority. The off cial canvass of the returns at the secretary of states office shows majority of 26 for l.. B. Morris of New Haven, 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 several hundred prohibitory votes were rejected by moderators for having on them the word for before the office named, while several thous- and such were counted Other votes of each party were rejected for various causes. The republicans insist that the matter should be inquired into, and errors, if found, be cor rected. The democrats claim that there is no going back of the returns, and the session will open with the prospect of deadlock be- tween the two houses-the senate declaring Morris elected and the house refusing to de- clare him, and insisting on an investigation, to be followed by the decaration that no cleo ton was effected, in which case the republi- cans would elect their candidate. In case the two houses continue to stand apart the present officers, all republicans, hold over. The republicans say that they are acting ac- cording to the constitution in insisting on settling ths governorship contest before any thing else, and in following that policy they keep from minor state offices various demo- crats whose apparent majorities were much larger than that of Morris, but the repubi- cans put the responsibility for that upon the democrats. The situation is liable to assume different phases at any time, but thls is the present condition. Neither party professes any inclination to recede, and while demo. crats threaten to embarrass the reelection of Mir. Platt to the United States senate, the re- publicans express every confidence that such efforts cannot succeed. .fs,

THE Indians are desperate, and appear to be fired by frenzy of some kind, In the encounters thus far the 'braves" seem to hays deliberately chosen to commit suicide, and tc die fighting. Bands which surrender are es. pecially angered when their arms are taken from them, and the bloodiest encounter thus far has resulted from an attempt to take guns from camp which had surrendered. It is one of the rules of war that they do nod understand. The Indians should certainly understand that they cannot in the twinkline of an eye, as it were, change from t'hostiles'
 to 'sfriendl es' when it suits their purpose best, and have the fact of having been hostile passed over unnoticed. ..,
