produce rain in the counties named on re-
quest of committee of eight, consisting

Adjutant-General Kennedy has is
sued a circular to county officers remind
ing them that the poll tax must be col
lected. He says: "a short time ago the
governor issued his order as provided by
section ], article 2, chapter 70, page 3S4,
session laws 1889, dispensing with the max
ing OF an enrolment of persons subject to
military duty this year, as unnecessary
For some unaccountable reason many
county officers appear to misunderstood
the purport of this order and interpret it
to mean that the levy and collection of the
military poll tax provided for by section ],
article 8. chapter 20, page 399, session
laws 1859, are to be dispensed with This
is wholly erroneous. The order of the
governor has not and cannot have any ref
erence whatever TO this tax. BY a refer
euce to the last mentioned law, it will be
seen that its commands are mandatory and
that failure to comply with them will
subject the county officers to heavy penal |
Ties. The military poll tax must be levied |
and collected this year.

Sure That No Reprieve Will Be Granted
 in His Case.
 Angelo Petrillo will be hanged on the morning of November IA in the court yard at the jail in New Haven for the murder of Josepho Matteo: There is no possibility of any appeal in his case. The board of pardons met last June. No steps were taken to secure stay of pro ceedings or pardon at that time.
 Petrillo is gradually becoming recon ciled to the fact that he must pay the penalty of his crime with his life. He is and greets his spiritual adviser, the Rev Father Alussi, pleasantly, and accepts his offerings with meekness. For the past two days he has been model pris- oner. The only irritability he displays is when he is not furnished with his ci- gars in the afternoon immediately after he asks for them.
 Yesterday morning Petrillo attended services in the jail chapel. He was then taken to his cell, where he remained with his watcher at his side until he re- tired at night.

NAUGATUcK, Oct 24.-Had it been well understood that the Rev Sherrod Soule was to preach a political sermon yesterday morning, the church would have been filled. His subject was ''The Money Value and Moral Value of Em- igration." He advocated that there was room enough here for all good emi- grants, but scored the government for permitting the scum of all lands to come here, except the Chinese, who were proving better class than many other foreigners, who are admitted. He claimed to be a no party man, but advocated free trade, and thought the tariff should be upon the head instead of the products of the emigrant. He ad- vised all to live by the golden rule, do unto others as you would be done by.
