The Allen Murder Trial.
Working to Get a aJury-mr. Jones Si, ---s.s. .-sn.Rns. Trial E2asrr,nn.ad.

Working tO Get a Jury-Mr. Jones Sick
 -The Trial Postponed.
 At the opening of the Allen murder trial yesterday at Hartford to resume the empan- neling of jury, Mr. Charles J. Cole, of counsel for the defense. addressed the court and stated that MT. Jones was in i'll health. and, though present, was unable to remain and 20 on with the case. He therefore asked for an adjournment of the court for one day, which would allow Mir. Jones to rest and be in condition to pursue his duties in the case at that time. MT. Jones, he stated, by inha- lation of the impure atmosphere during the Hayden murder trial, completely poisoned his system, and he was in an alarming condition.
 Mr. Hamersley, the States Attorney, regret ted the condition of Mir. Jones' but thought the other counsel might carry along the case until MT. Jones should be able to attend. He said it would be serious inconvenience to a large number of men who had been summoned for jury.
 moned the large number of men spoken of, he had done it on authority he did not pos sess. He was unwilling to go on with the case without the presence and advice of the senior counseI-Mr. Jones.
 The court was of the opinion that the ex- | animation of the three remaining Bristol men, summoned for the panel, might be continued, l but, for the reason of MT. Jones' illness and | in consideration of the low temperature of the court room, at the conclusion of the question | ing of the Bristol jurors, the court might be | adjourned until this morning.
 | Hiram Lodge Promenade. The annual musical and social promenade of Hiram Lodge, F. and A. M., took place in Masonic Temple last evening. The first part of the programme, which took place in the
 ''Blue" room, was concert by home talent, which was of more than ordinary excellence, The selections were good, and the singing by Mrs. E. Louise Thompson and the other ladies and gentlemen was very fine. After the con- cert the company repaired to Union Armory
 where dancing was indulged in to the delieh
 of the participants. ''Old Hiram" has giver many previous entertainments, but, all vii unite in saying, never 8 better one than that | of last evening.

A GORGEOUS BRIEF.-They have some
curious lawyers down Rutland way. One of
them recently submitted TO the Supreme
Court brief. lengthy abstracts of which the
Herald publishes, which would draw iron
tears down Pluto's cheeks" We select few

1t is with a feeling of profound gratitude
that the counsel for the respondent glide into
this safe Lavcn Of rcst-the Supreme Court
away from the trOublous and stormy seas
through which they have passed and it is
with feeling more even of surprise than of
satisfaction, that they find their good ship =
the bill Of exceptions-siill true and sound,
notwithstanding the terrible racking and
tossing it has received from, may say, the
enraged waves on its passage from port to
port. Ere | conclude / must ask
pardon of your llonors for this long disquisi-
ton, but this respondent. who knows more
OF the science of warfare than of the sci
ence of convict labor in State insttu-
ton, belongs to that class OF men to whom
not only IL confinement repugnant but the
stigma of il an adherence and he would
far have preferred that the shell which
entered his side at Cedar Creek had thor
oughly accomplished its object or that the
bullet which shattered his right wrist and
distorted it for life, in the battle of Spottsyl-
vania Court House, and for which he is now
pensioned, had deprived him Of his entire
arm, aye both arms, than that the same
should ever he raised at the command Of The
State to polish marble" in the garb of
convict.
And let me pray of your honors, that,
while you do not fulfill the hope and expect
atoms and mainstay Of Mr.. States Attorney,
of Olympian support in his wild onslaught,
and his preservation in some mysterious way
from defeat ; still that you may permit him

THE SIGNAL SEEyIcE.-Referring TO the
prophecy made by Nen)r OF the Canadian
geological survey. that a heavy snn" Storm
would occur in the United States February
: and 3, one of tic signal Officers OF the
nlted States signal office told an interview
er that the prediction Of Nenor was q happy
guess; that, having made 4 prophecy as to
what the weather would he one week be!o.e
ii occurred, he happened to Lit anon Just
such weather as he had described. IN rccrr-
renee which might never take place again
The signal Office does not pretend to predict
a week in advance. The German GOVERN
mcnt recently paid the highest compliment
to the United States by addressing. through
the German Minister at Washington, Il letter
requesting to be exactly informed as 10 the
proct sScs by which the Signal Service Bureau
so promptly collects at the War Department;
the meteorological reports from all parts OF
the United Siates-an extent of territory
greater than Europe-and 50 rapidly drafts
and Publishes them upon the printed daily
weather map. These maps are issued three
hours after the records are read M the dis
tant stations. When it is remembered that
the request comes from q government noted
for its skilled photographers, and standing
first in Europe, the value Of the compliment
will lie appreciated. II is understood that
the German government proposes an advance
in meteorological work.
