It is said that an effective blow is to be aimed at the policy swindle in the present Legislature. A bill has been drafted, which will be presented, mak- ing it an offense to have a policy slip or ticket, or a lottery ticket, or any of the insignia of either business, in one’s possession. If this should become a law it would make the policy men’s row a hard one, as few persons would care to carry slips about with them, and consequently there Would be little or no interest in the game.

There is no unusual success in this world long maintained unless there be unusual ability behind it. The young Duke of Orleans, naugh- ty boy, announces that he proposes to wed whomsoever he chooses without regard to the plans and purposes of his pseudo royal papa. This is news calcu- lated to bring a delightful little flutter to the hearts of certain American title- hunting heiresses—young women of the class whose dearest petition is, “Papa, please buy me. a duke.” But there is scant chance that the moony- faced young scion of France’s old roy- al line will consent to be bought by American millions, even if the proba- bilities were less strong that his father 'will speedily yank him back into lead- ing strings again.

Cleveland Announces that He Recognizes Bulkeley} as Governor. Staub Not Recog- nized as Comptroller by the I-IoItl-Over Officers. HARTFORD, Feb. 18, 2:30 p. m.——Wl1en the 1senate convened this afternoon, Executive Clerk Brainard presented a cominunication from Gov. Bulkeley making the following appointments for the Confirmation of the Senate : \V. S. Simonds, factory inspector; Charles Griswold of Guilford, to be bank commissioner; George C. Waldo of Bridgeport, and B. A. Treat of Wal- lingford, to be shell fish commission- ers ; Frederick Botsf'ord of New Haven, to be shell fish clerk. Senator Fox moved that the commu- nication be 1ejected and 1etu1ned to M1. Bulkeley, Senato1 Claik said Morgan G. Bulke— ley was the only Governor who had been inaugurated by the general as- sembly. He called attention to the fact that no mention was made in the journal of the communication received from Gov. Bulkeley yesterday. The constitutionrequired that such matter 'be‘put on the journal, but the majority of the senate seemed to think that the constitution applied to the legislature of 1891. ‘ Sfenator Cleveland caused a sensation byii‘moving that the communication b'e received and referred tothe committee on "executive nomination and by stating' that he should recognize Morgan G. Bulkeley as Governor. Senator Fox called Gov. Bulkeley a dictator and usurper, and said that it was a deliberate insult to the senate to send papers here when he had kept the doors locked against the senators. The canvass of votes for judge of prObatc in the town of Branford was completed to-day by the canvassing bohrd, which according to the consti- tution the secretary of state, treasurer and comptroller should sign. Consid- erable excitement was caused at the Capital because Comptroller Staub was not given the returns to sign. Treas- urer Henry and Seeretary \Valsh signed the canvass but Mr. Staub did not see it. At this moment Executive Secretary Brainard appeared again on the floor of the senate with another communica- tion from Gov. Bulkeley. No one would take the envelope from the Gov- ernor’s secretary and he left it lying on the president’s desk and departed. The paper was shunned as if it contain- ed leprosy. An hour’s 'bitter discus- sion then ensued. A motion to return both communi- cations to the Governor was carried by a vote of 10 to 6. The executive communication which was not received reappointed Dwight Loomis a judge of the supreme court' fo1 eight yeais. Judge Loomis’ term expi1 es in June. Gov. Bulkeley said this mowing that he did not icgard M1. Staub as comp- troller, and has no occasion to recog- nize him. It appears the other hold- over officers do not recognize Mr. Staub either. Gen. Butterfield, marshal of the Sherman funeral parade, sent him the following dispatch this morning : . New York, Feb. 18, 1891. To Andrew H.

The first floor is to be made in- to stores and rented. The Club, after listening to the details, voted that if the stock company would put up the building, the Norwalk Club would rent the part appropriated by them. The stock has been taken to the amount of $514,000, while the house will cost $25,- 000. Here is a chance to show public spirit, and at the same time to make a good investment.

Apologizes. HARTFORD, Feb. 18.—A resolution was offered by Mr. Judson (rep) in the house this afternoon to find out if the senate proposed to join with the house in the transaction of legislative business. In discussing it Mr. Walker (dem.) of Hartford, alluded to Gov. Bulkeley as a usurper and intruder and characterized the conduct of the re- publinans in the house as obstructive to - to legislative business. He was interrupted in the midst of his remarks by Mr. Porter ,(rep.) of Pomfret, who jumped to his feet amid great excitement and moved that Walk- er be refused the privileges of the floor of the house because he had used dis- graceful language» in speaking of the chief executive of the state, and not be permitted to enjoy the privileges of the floor until he had withdrawn his words. The motion was seconded by Mr. Green (rep.) and then Mr. Walker pro- ceeded to discuss the question, holding that he~ had not used insulting language and gave authorities maintaining his position. Mr.Walker said the suspension would be a worse penalty than expulsion,” for if he was expelled he would be re-elect- ed in ten days. If suspended the peo- ple of Hartford would be deprived of representation. In accordance with the rules, Mr. Walker left the house while his case was under consideration. Mr. Porter then said he thought a partial retrac- tion had been made. He would there- fore submit a substitute resolution which was that if Mr. Walker would say that he used the word usurper only in a legal sense and not in an offensive one he would not be suspended. Walker was recalled to the House and stated that he used‘ the word usurper in a legal and technical sense. The resolution of suspension was withdrawn, and Walker took his seat as if nothing had happened. Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 19.—The Grand Opera House which was valued at $75,000, was destroyed by fire at 4 o’clock this morning. The fire is be- lieved to have been caused by a gas ex— plosion. The fire gained headway with great rapidity and at one time it'looked as though the fire would be one of the most disastrous that has occurred in this city in years. Adjoining the Opera House is the Windsor, a $50,000 struc- ture. This was badly damaged, but was saved from total destruction by the hard work of the firemen. The com- pany was playing at the Grand, filling a two week’s engagement. The con.- tents of the box oflice were saved with difficulty, but nothing else was taken from the house. A lineman was badly injured, part of a brick wall falling on him. This is the third big fire in this city in four days, and there is consider- able excitemcnt in consequence. ———-————< o- r FAIRFIELD, FEE. 18—Lieut.— F. G. Bar- ton, V. C. R.

The charges are that Miss Murray set 'her dogs upon Lieut. Barton because he re— fused to obey her orders. This so enraged Miss Murray,|that she immedi- ately called a pack of dogs and set them 011 him. Before he had an oppor- tunity to defend himself they had torn both';his legs terribly.

There was no 'in- surance 011 the place, the policy having recently expired. 9 It is claimed that there is strong evidence against the accused, as he was seen in the neigh- ’ borhood a short time before the barn was discovered to be on fire. He has been arrested on suspicion and will be held for trial. ——oco,———~ Pittsburgh, “Pa” Feb. 18.—Shortly, after midnight last night fire broke out in the power house of the Duquesne Traction Compahy, a few miles from here.
