GENERAL ASSEMBLY,.

Democratic Members Lead in Ability and
 Experience Speculation in Regard to
 the selection of Judges.
 In looking over the list of representa- tives-elect it seems altogether probable that Colonel Mowrey of Norwich will be the next speaker. There is little else but truck, after naming one or two per sons, on the republican side. The democrats are away above them in ability. It is doubtful if there is re publican competent to lead the forces, outside of Colonel Mowrey or Colonel Thomas Allen. The democrats, how ever, have an abundance of ability, and William Hammersley of Hartford will undoubtedly lead them. He will be ably assisted by Radcliffe Hicks of Tol- land, Gum of Milford, David Callaghan and Hobart Hotchkiss of New Haven, and Healy of Windsor Locks.
 There will be much speculation as to what course Governor Morris will adopt in the selection of new judges to fill the the vacancies already on the bench and those which are to occur in the near future. Judge Carpenters term will 1881. This general assembly will therefore fill that vacancy. This will leave Chief Justice Andrews and Judge Torrance, two republicans, the only re- maining judges on the supreme bench. Three vacancies on this bench, therefore, are to be filled by this assembly on the nomination of the governor. In view of the late decision of two to three, it would be natural to expect that Cover tor Morris would desire to nominate three democrats for these vacant places; but his nominations may be confirmed or rejected, and either house of the as sembly has veto power. If the gover- nor should nominate three demo- crats over the heads of Judges Hall and Prentice who are now on the superior court bench, and who perhaps think themselves en. titled to be promoted, though possibly some democrats do not think them de. serving of this recognition, the republi can house may refuse to confirm. We shall see what we shall see on this qut g. tiOn

ANGELO PETRILLO.
Preparations Under Way For Ne,
 Mondays Execution.

Preparations Under Way For Next
 Mondays Execution.
 NEW HAVEN, Nov O.-Preparations for the execution of Angelic Petrillo, the condemned Italian murderer, are going rapidly forward and all will be in readiness long before the hour of the execution. Tomorrow carpenters will commence the construction of the gal lows. The ponderous instrument of death will be raised in the jail yard be- tween the two wings of the building and will be wholly shut off from out side view. It will be we'll and solidly built and every precaution will be taken to prevent any accident. The condemned man is in the best of health and although he realizes that his end is fast approaching he does not seem to worry much. He sleeps well and eats as we'll as ever. For the last four or five weeks Petrillo has given the jail officials but little trouble. Before that he was inclined to annoy them as much as pos sible. For some time past Rev. Father Alussi the Italian priest has been con stant visitor at the jail, and has spent considerable time with Petrillo. His visits have wrought a great change in the murderer. He is now quiet and subdued and more submissive to the wishes of his guards. He takes much satisfaction in the visits of the clergy man, and now says that he is not afraid to meet his death. A large num- Der of his friends call at the jail each day, in fact so many that it is i'm possible to let all of them see him. His wife has been an almost constant visitor during his confinement, but for the last few days she has been unable to see him, as one of her children has been very sick and required her constant cale. Arrangements have been made whereby Petrillo's friends will take charge of his body after the execution. According to the law the sheriff must have charge of the funeral, but Petrillo's friends will practically arrange the funeral under the direction of the sheriff. There will be but very few present at the execution, as according to the law all must be deputy sheriffs.

NAUGATUCk DIVISION.

Railroad Commissioners Praise the Road
 and Make Few Suggestions.
 The report of the railroad commits sioners, issued Monday, says of the Naugatuck division: Considering the large percentage of curvature on the Naugatuck division, the track rides very smoothly, aiving evidence of good ser vice and alignment and proper eleva- tion of the curves. The rails on the outside of some of the curves are get ting badly worn and will soon need re- newing. The alignment of the track has been changed and improved in several places, particularly north of High Rock grove. Howe truss, No 1, is now carried by two supports and should soon be renewed or an iron structure substituted for it. New ties are also needed on the trestle at the north end of bridge 554. The Derby trestle will soon need to be renewed and, unless their is some legal obstacle, the span should be reduced to 12 feet.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS.
Large Democratic Gains In All Parts of
 Connecticut.


 Connecticut.
 The gains made by the democrats in the cities of Connecticut are remarkable. Waterbury contributed 1,071 to the democratic column against 749 in 1888. Hartford, which gave Cleveland 322 in 1888 gave him 679. New Britain jumped from 53 to 407 democratic plu rality. New Haven piled up her votes to the tune of 2,941 plurality against 2,403 four years ago. Ansonia and Derby landed on democratic soil with 161 against r for Harrison in 1SSS Bridgeport proudly put up 1863 plu- rality against 679 when Cleveland was defeated for a second term. Danbury redeemed her reputation, falling into the democratic line of pluralities with 473 as a remuneration for the 46 plu- rality it gave the republicans in 1888, and Middletown added 13 to her plu- rality of P four years ago. Meriden stands out alone as the city that did not keep in line. In 1888 she gave Cleve- land 339. This year the democratic plu- rality is only POS. This, however, is accounted for by the heavy vote of the peoples party, which puts up 2TS, S5 per cent of which were taken from the democratic column.
 In republican cities there was fall ing off in pluralities. Harrison carried Norwich by 76, against 90 in 1888, and Norwalk by 12S, against 36O in 1888. The democratic gains by counties is equally interesting. New Haven county gives Cleveland 4,640, against 3,110 in 1888; Fairfield 2,235, against 317 in 1888; Hartford 59 for Harrison, against 56 in 1888; New London PTS for Cleve- land, against IA for Harrison in 1888 Middlesex 544 for Harrison, against 75C in 1888; Litchfield 290 for Harrison against 290 in 1888; Holland 45 for liar. rison, against 332 in 1888, and Windham 991 for Harrison, against 1 ,O1O in 1888.

"The Planters Wife. !"

Harry Lacy, in his new play, "The Planters Wife," will be at the opera house Friday and Saturday evenings. The play was at Bridgeport last night and the News says: It is too bad the weather was not more propitious last night. A revival of the Planters Wife" was produced at the Bunnell. It was put on in good shape. The cast was all that could be asked for. In it's revised form it should gain the prestige it formerly held on the public.

stable Manure---wood Ashes.

NtAiie MANURE hbu Ahhtt
Economical manuring implies the APP
plying of elements needed for plant
growth that are dchcic& in the soil
Ordinarily in average SOL all that will
be necessary to furnish Is nitrogen,
potash and phCsphoIic acid. IL Is often
the case that there will be plenty Of
one or two of these, while in others
all may be needed In order 20 secure
the best results Generally In apply
ing stable manure we supply all of the
elements needed. The objection TO us
ing much stable manure In the orchard
is the tendency TO produce too strong
a growth Of wood This is rather more
the case with a young orchard than
after il has CnCe become well cstab-
lished For this reason, says Western
ploWnan, 1t IL often the case that In
what may be considered a fairly rich
soil, strong stock manure often proves
almost rs detrimental rs beneficial, and
especially so when 1t contains con-
siderable per cent of nitrogen. Phos-
phoric acid and potash are generally
more needed than nitrogen. IT is
therefore largely for this reason that
wood Aches and Ground Lime
or bone meal can be applied to many
varieties Of fruits TO n better adYan-
tage than fresh stable mInures. II
there is any difference 10 be made In
applying the different kinds Of fer
tilizers TO different varieties Of fruits,
apply ground lime to the peach, cherry
and pear trees, and the wood ashes 10

needed by the first named, and potash
by the latter, but either viii be bcne-
fetal to a more or less extent by the
application Of the other. Grapes aud
in fact all varieties Of small fruits are
benefited by an application Of bone
meal In MI cases 1t is necessary 10
apply this fertilizer in a form that
can be readily worked into the soil.
one OF the advantages in using either
ashes or bone meal is that they are
more readily soluble, and in cunsc-
quence are sooner available than the
average stable manure So far rs Is
possible the wood ashes should be up-
piled to fruits, both vine and tree. and
