CONNECTICUT IN COLONIAL DAYS.

CONNECTICUT IN COLONIAL DAYS.
 Connecticut in Colonial days was a slave holding colony. Aunt Lois Davis, who lived to be 100 years old, used to tell us children year ago, stories about the times when she was IA big gal" A slave by the name of Philip hid in a cave in the rocks about mile from her home. He used to steal now and then a chicken from the families about the neighborhood on Chestnut Ridge. Game was plenty around the wood. Wild turkey were quite common. Cold weather came on in the fall and then Philip must have straw for bed He stole it from some barn or stack The litter from thence to the cave was the means of the discovery He was arrested and re- turned to his master. Hence the name of the locality, Philips Rock or cave, ir later years, Putnam's camping ground now called Putnam Memorial park.

BEDDING.

CARPENTER ALSO TRIED TO BUY A FARM IN BEDDING.
 The man who victimized the Kent Inn
 and is now lodged in Litchfield jail,
 played the same game here few weeks
 ago. He came to the house of Lee Cor
 ham pretending he wanted to buy farm.
 As the farm occupied by Lee Gorham,
 and belonging to the c. J. Gorham es-
 tate, was for sale the administrator
 thought he was in luck in having found
 so good customer. Lee Gorham was
 also we'll satisfied, as the stranger offer-
 ed to let him remain and pay for the place on very easy terms. After enjoy ing the hospitality of MT Gorham week he asked to be taken to Danbury that he might consult lawyer in regard to the deeds. title, etc. MT Gorham took him to Lawyer. Murphy, who was also taken in and hired team to come to Bedding and examine the records. Since then
 nothing was heard of him till the item in THE BEE, last week, opened the eyes of Bedding people to the fact that he was a first-class fraud.

Market Inspector Braymer viii take
steps today toward having a warrant is
sued for parties near Georgetown for sell
ing unwholesorne meat. The story OF the
affair was tod yesterday afternoon 10 A
Post-Iutelhgencer reporter by Mr.. Bray

Saturday afternoon I received mes
sage from Constable G. Y. Cotton at
Georgetown saying that COW which be
longed 70 Mrs Patrick LilIis. of the Hyde
Park house. had died. and that il was
supposed TO have been poisoned Dogs got
al the carcass and ate out the Kidneys
Some man took the carcass skinned IL and
then sold the meat to a market on Front
street near Pike.
Il went 10 John Murphy's place. at fls0
Front street. and asked him about the
matter. He said he had purchased a cow
from a man that morning and thought
something was wrong. The man, how
ever. insisted that every thing was all
right.
II examined the carcass, which was
hung up. and found that the blood was
congeaied showing that il had not been
bIed properly. After this 1 put coal oil on
the meat. and | understand Murphy soil

lie said he did not know the name of the
man who brougaS the meat 10 his place
Then ! went to Mrs. Lillis and she told
me that the COW had been killed properly

butcher. The action OF this man. who

fact that heretofore IL has been customary

THE QUESTION OF FEES.
Prosecuting Attorney Lays Down Rules
for Coroner-s Bills.


Prosecuting Attorney HASTE has for
warded TO the county commissioners an
opinion as TO their duties respecting the
bills OF Coroner Askam. In many cases
ne has advised the rejection of parts OF
bills because they have not been properly
itenlzed- He decides that the coroner is
entitled TO mileage In all cases inyestigat-
ed, bat does not thinN that the county
should pay inquest bills in cases of sui
eide He rejected the coroner's fees in
the case OF Neal Mckinley, the Great
Northern engineer. because he was attend
ed by physicians and there was no reason
10 believe death ensued by unlawful
means In murder cases Mr.. HASTE thinks
IL proper TO allow for inquests. autopsies
and sfenographers fees. In his opinion he
says:
From the different causes mentioned in
the statute tustifying the coroner in hold
ing an inquest, ( consider that one which
states that there shall exist reasonable
grounds for the belief that such death has
been caused by unlawful means AT the
hands of another the strongest, and the
most clearly defined by the statute. The
remaining portion Of the section is badly
constructed and in the language of the
attorney general some words have been
omitted Coupled with this and less clear
ly stated is the additional grounds that
the cause of whose death is unknown
must appear. The duties of the coroner's
jury are to inquire into the cause Of death
and their verdict shall set forth who the
person killed il. if known. and when.
where and by whatmeans he came TO his
death. and If he was killed or his death
occasioned by the act of another by Grim
inal means who is guilty thereof, II
known
THE statute does not provide for in
quests in case of suicide. Can the coroner
be legally allowed fees and mileage for in
vestigating cases where no inquest rs
held?
Answering this last question. l am OF
the opinion that under the laws of 1898
the coroner is entitled to mileage at 10
cents per mile each way while actually
and necessarily engaged in the business
pertaining TO that Office. He is entitled
TO mileage when actually engaged in the
honest investigation of the cause OF
death, although he may afterward deter
mine that no inquest should be held
The remaining question is: Should the
stenographers bill be allowed? In an
swerng this / Will say the statute pro-
vides that lin ali cases where murder or
manslaughter is supposed 10 have been
committed the testimony OF witnesses
taken before the coroner's jury shall be
reduced to writing by the coroner or I'M
der his direction
IF the inauests are 10 be held II is i'm
portant to the state that the evidence be
taken by a competent stenographer, and
preserved for the use of the prosecution.
/ am wherefore of the opinion that a rea-
sonable sum should be allowed in the
cases OF Charley Ling and Joseph Cicero,
and no farther allowance should be made
in any OF the other cases herein men,
toned"
