Swift Mari-Invert.
Governor Buckeley seat the following
statement to the press yesterday: "I
have granted a reprieve and the sheriff
will be duly notified before to-morrow.
l have not decided upon the period, but
it will be for about two weeks. My rea-
sons are: In the first place, areprieve
avoids all questions or technicaltles as to
the construction of the clause in the con-
stitution as to when the resolution would
go into effect. I should not feel satisfied
that a life should depend upon a mere
consiructlou. In the second place, if
the legislature should wish tooverride
It veto, if I should conclude to veto the
resolution, then it is only fair that the
general assembly should have time for
the careful consideration of the reasons
presented in a veto message."
Many believe that the governor will
veto the resolution,snd it is said that
personally he thinks Swift ought to be
hanged.

Electric Railways»
The Electric World saysthat, our-"year ago,
lilt‘l‘c were barely a some of electric roads in
this country. and about another score were
projected. Today there are over fifty roads, sale
and nearly seventy more are building or
under contract. There is still plenty of room
for improvement in the methods adopted, but
the roads work and ore-certainly good enough
to advertise the method usnsuccms. We may
well apply to this the language that Profesor
Bryce in his recent noble work on the “Anteri-
am Conunonwealth"uswabout some of our m go N
political conditions: “Tho Americans surpa-
nll other nations in their power of makingtho
hat of bad conditions, getting the largmtw
rrsults out of scanty materials or rough
methods.
, “Many things in that country work better
than they ought to work or could work in
any other country." After all, thesis no

Our motor engineers know something now
about electric roads, and have laid the foun-
dations of an enormous industry by their
genius and weeverance.
The I’atrolnran'a Lot.
The lot of u patrolman isnot easy under
any circumstances, and with all the difficul-
ties with which he must contend it is marvel-
ous how few of these umful ofiicers fall by
the wayside. If he fails to makoan strut he
is heurtil y condemned by the general public.
A like fato awaits him if he beaver sealant
in the performance of his duty. It is a mis-
take topresumo that all that is necessary to
constitute a perfect policeman is also, a:-
durnnco and muscle. He must be a man of
sound common sense, with the ability [to
judge human nature and do it quickly.
Fearlem in the performance of his duty, yet
he must studiously avoid oppremion in oflce,
never lose his temper or mtlenco, bopunctual
and pehnble. and, above all, a. man of good
habits—Chief of Police in Globe-Democrat.

Commander Beckett, of Stanley l‘ost.
ll. A. IL, of Hartford, has modes num-
ber of inquiries concerning Thomas
Tracy, the man who was instantly killed
at ChurtI-r llik Park at noon Wednes-
day.
surgeon, at Noroton, says that Tracy's
name has been dropped from the roll,
be having left the home about five weeks
ago without leave. That he was an
honorably discharged soldier is shown
by the fact of his being an inmate of
the home. Commander Beckett has
been unable to find out what regiment
Tracy served with during the war, but
has learned that his (Tracy's) wife lived
in Bridgeport. from whom he has long
been separated, and that he has a sister
in Birmingham. The body will be kept
until to-day before it is buried toallow
frlends‘or relatives to claim it. Unlem
it is taken into charge by that time,
Stanley l’ost will see that the remains
are properly buried. Michael Kelly,
the man wIIh whom Tracy was at
the time of his death, was released yes-
tertlay morning from the station-house
where he has been kept since Wednes—
day. lle was not aware of the terriblsm
fate that had befallen his friend, for he
was so completely under the Influence of

The Latest Swindle.
The latest little swindle in the ped-
dling line is being worked through
the suburban tows. A man goes around
to each house with a bottle of medicine.
a box of salve, and a vial of "perfumed
disinfectant,” the whole lot for a dollar.

guards against contagion. lie insists
upOn leaving a bottle and asks that it be
tried. He will call again in a few days,
and if it has not been found satisfactory
he will not charge anything for it. He
slips the cork in his pocket and leaves
the open bottle to perfume and disinfect
the room. The liquid is very volatile,
and when he gets back in a day or two it
has nearly all evaporated, whereupon he
demands fifty-cents for what has been
“used." Often he gets it.
