ley to-day issued an order revoking the
dishonorable discharge of Colonel William
E. Gone, Lieutenant Charles E. Thomp-
son and Major Thomas 81. Smith, field off,
GERS of the First regiment, G. N. G., who
were dishonorably discharged by him JAN
uary 90, $780, Another officer of the regi-
ment, Captain George B. Richards of the
Hartford City Guard, who was dismissed
for the benefit of the service in the same
order is also honorably discharged. All
are to date from date of the original order.
The reason stated is "on account of their
previous good military record" These
officers Of the First regiment were dis
missed from the service nearly two years
ago by reason of having rendered their
resignation on account of the armory in
this city having been let for polo playing
to an association of which Governor Bull
kelley was a director. The officers insisted
on their designations and were dishonor-
ably discharged without trial or hearing.
As soon as their successors were ap-
pointed they brought quo wsrranto suits
against them, which are still pending in
the superior court. At the last hearing in
the cases about year ago, demurrer set
up that Governor Bulkeley's official mill
tary acts were not subject to review by
civil authority was overruled. The cases,
however, have never been reached for
trial.

posed to be William Young and his wife.
