sudden and unexpected removal of eN Controller
Connolly from his luxurious apartments at the

midnight of Wednesday, caused the greatest
surprise and Indignation among the ey-Con-

the jail MI. Connolly appeared to feel his posi-
ton acntely, and wept like a child. The warm
hearted Warden Tracy at once made every
necessary preparation for the reception of his
distinguished guest, and left nothing undone to
make MIR. Connolly as comfortable as circum-
stances would adpit, even placing his mir. I. ~
own rooms, which are entirely eparate from the
other apartments, at Mr.. Connollys disposal
Adjoining is a neat and coZily furnished parIor
which has also been appropriated to Mr.. Con-
noly's use for the reception Of visitors, OF which
there were large number on Thanksgiving
day, and among the earliest Of whom were Mrs
Connolly, between whom and her husband a
very affecting scene took place. Mr.. Connolly
still lacks 5000 900 towards the completion of hi
bail, and present appearances indicate very
little chance OF the necessary amount being
speedily obtained. Ever since his incarceration
Mr. Connolly has been closeted in his room re-
