named Shields A COW answering the
description of either of the two ami
mails was purchased by a farmer not

of the purchase and each claimed the
animal and presented proof equally

party described the same COW, they
were unable to give decision. Then
the judge said he would turn the COW

COURANT'S COMMENT ON
 OUR CHARTER TINKERING
(Hartford Courant.)

Bridgeport's charter amendment authorizing bond issue for improve ments is expected to come up this week DeVer Warner, one of the feau- ing men of the city. is out in an fn- telligent and progressive statement to the effect that a city of 100000 in- habitants has no call to cry poverty over such questions as supplying sur- ficient schools for the children, good street, necessary public buildings, almshouses, etc, as necessary to an up-to-date city as the best machinery is to factory. Another amendment will consider the mayoraity, making the term of office four years instea d of two and providing for a recall at tachment. 1t would be interesting to have some Connecticut city adopt this innovation, but, when adopted. I, should require a majority of all the voters to accomplish the recall, not simply the vote of majority of the voters on the question. When more than half the voters of a community want mayor to get out, it is almost a demonstration in itself that his use fulness is ended. Still another amend ment regulates the salaries to be paid the police. What in the world have the members of the General Assem- bly to do with the pay Bridgeport gives it's police officers? That sort of question should be settled by the people who pay in the money the wages are paid with.

 The Crane Valve Co.'s petition for discontinuance of Iranistan avenue from South avenue; the petition of Frank Miller and others for the dis continuance of Laurel avenue north from Wade street; and that of the Park City Yacht club for the dis continuance of the dead end of Strat- ford avenue at Yellow Mill bridge, have been unfavorably considered.
 Mayor Buckingham will recom- mend the enactment of an ordinance making it compulsory that people hauling meat through the streets keep it protected from dust.
 The council is expected to adopt a resolution ordering the Connecticut Co. to lay grooved rails wherever per pavement is laid.
 Alderman Garry Paddock of the 18th district will introduce a resolu- tion for the widening of Stratford avenue from Seaview avenue to Bruces brook.

 Personally Mir. Swift was a man of much ability as newspaper writer and worker, and a man of great cour- age. He. made few intimate friends, but such as he did make, he retained forever. He was a keen sportsman, and particularly fond of hunting and fishing. At his places in the South he had entertained many Bridgeport CTS at various times, with alligator hunts and other similar diversions.
 MT. Swift was warm friend of the late Governor George L. Lilley, and the latter, when in Congress. was in- strurnental in bringing about the change of name of Viola a Florida town, to Swifton, in honor of MT. Swift, who owned a big plantation there.
 During the Cuban uprising and the Spanish war which followed, MT. Swift was in Cuba with the insurrec- tos, and furnished many interesting stories from the firing line. He was a gifted writer and recently published a book, Florida Fancies'', replete with interesting stories of life among the crackers" and sportsmen of the South.
 MT. Swift is survived by a wife, two sisters residing in Rochester, and an aunt, Mrs. Thomas Howell, of Bald- wins. this State.
