EMOTIONAL INSANITY.
The Defense in the COnant Murdel Case at New LondOn-DOubtS as tt

The Defense in the Conant Murder
 Case at New LOndon-DOubtS as to
 His Conviction For Murder.
 The trial of Frank Conant, of Norwich before Judge Park, at New London, for the murder of Albert Mcclellan, has now reached that stage at which the court IS ready to hear the arguments by counsel. The testimony closed on Saturday. No new de- Velopments were made. The court adjourned to next Thursday morning, when the argu- ments will begin. The defense will claim that Conant was 8 victim of mild melan- cholia when he shot Mcclellan. The case has been pretty exhaustively tried by "ex- pert" testimony on both sides, in the persons of Dr. Sawyer, the head of the insane asy- lum at Providence, and Drs. Paddock and Cassidy, of Norwich, for the prosecution, and Professor Lindsley, of Yale, and Dr. Mayer, of Hartford, for the defence. States Attor ney Thayer has been aided by Donald G. Perkins, and William c. Case is the leading lawyer on the prisoners side. Conant, Norwich dry goods clerk, killed Mcclellan for undue intimacy with Mrs. Conant. The jury is made up exclusively
 
 the defence, throughout, are ably han dled and used. The experts for the defence confounded the prosecution with the uncov ering of effective batteries in the shape of quotations from medical authorities such as Hammond, Mann, Spitzka, and Maudsley, the English doctor all of which, hurled with unfailing rspidity and precision into the other camp, had the seeming effect of half silencing the guns of the attack, and of in- spring caution and greatly restricting the cution. It may not be difficult to prove al most anybody insane; certainly the case of Conant, which had some facts in reality to give countenance to the theory of the de- fence, was very effectively presented. All the accepted symptoms of what the medical authorities call melancholia were all duly proved on the witness stand, on points pre- sented in the hypothetical questions. This was done in such manner that experts for the State had to agree that the symptoms were all there. Moreover, Conant's story, when he gave his testimony proved to be quite dramatic. During its delivery com plete silence reigned in the court room. His wife, her mother, and the prisoners mother and sister were in court Conant's mother, on or off the stand, gives the impression that hls mind has long been running in this one channel of his domestic wrongs. Medical authorities are agreed on the danger of letting ones thoughts run too one idea, but very dangerous kind of idea, as the result in this and 50 many other cases has proved. His case is ably managed. The the case carefully that Conant will not be cnOYicted

AN EXPLANATION
By Superintendent Dorman and Om-
 cer Wanf.

By SuperIntendent DOrman and Ofh-
 cer Wani.
 Yesterday morning an article appeared in the Union that seriously reflected on an Evergreen cemetery official. The. statement was made that the party in charge locked the gate after being told that there was an old lady inside who had not passed out of the enclosure. Last evening Superintendent Dorman and Police Officer Mani, who is the son of the old lady who was locked in the cemetery, called at the COURIER office and both said that the statement made in the Union was very much exaggerated. MT. Dorman stated that the man in charge at the time was William Igo. When the ladies spoke to him about the old lady he waited some time and no one appearing he thought they were mistaken and started for home Igo says he did not use any gruH language to the ladies and MT. DorTnan said that it was not at all like the man.
 Officer Mani states that his mother was very much surprised that anything appeared in the paper about the affair She says she does not blame MT. Igo in the least Again, the officer says there was no axe called for or used to knock off boards. They went to the fence in the new part of the cemetery and finding loose board pushed it off and the lady passed out without the least trouble.

A Ten-Year-Old WaI1tngfOrd Boy Who
 Lives Two Weeks With a Pin Stuck
 i'm Ills Throat-NeE York Surgeons
 open His Throat and Get the Pin
 Out.
 Two weeks ago little son of Tax Collector R. s Austin, of Wallingford, swallowed g pin while blowing putty-blower. The pin stuck in his throat out of the reach of the surgeons. Sixteen doctors tried to extricate it but failed They all said the pin must stay there and the boy die in consequence. He was taken to the New York hospital. The surgeons there decided to open his throat. They did,so and kept him alive by inserting a silver pipe connection between his lungs and head They probed for the pin, but found that none of their instruments would reach it. They sent to Philadelphia and had the necessary instruments made, and kept the boy alive in the meantime. The instru- ments arrived and the pin was taken out. With day or two more of delay the boy would have died. The boy was taken home Saturday and was as lively as ever, suffering from only slight cough.

Dr. Linquist's spinal corsets and misses' spinal waists are receiving much attention among the ladies of New Haven. Upon e1- animation of the spinal corset we find it to be constructed upon principles entirely diff ferent from the ordinary corset. It is sup port to the back and yields easily to every movement of the wearer.
 The misses spinal waists are admirably adapted for preventing curvature of the spine and round shoulders so common among school girls.
 We notice that the doctor has received endorsements from such men as the late Dr. Marion Sims, Dr. Fordyce Barker, Dr. Abra- ham Jacobi and many other eminent physi- clans of this country. These corsets are for sale by the leading dry good dealers in this citv

 Dull and Moderately Strong Market G0fnza1v ;

on Saturday,
 NEW YORK, Sept. 27.
 The stock market showed good deal of pluck today Instead of prices falling of, they should have done under so powerfula pressure as was ex- mDited by the weakness of so prominent stock as Central and Hudson, they actually advanced. Leaving Central and Hudson out of the question, the general market showed considerable turn for the better, and final prices were from 1S to per cent. higher than opening ones While the new issue of bonds by Central and Hudson were a drag upon values, special reasons exist why prices should improve. There is a small betterment in the coal trade, very decided improvement in iron in- terests and undoubted certainty that the hauling Of this great crop of cereals to tide is sooner or later to benefit the trunk railroads. Reports from the West are all to the effect that the demand for transportation of cereals to the East is unex- pectedly pressing. Nevertheless the board room does not as yet catch on to the fact, and we have still broken market.'' The aggregate of trans actions was below the average. Union Pacific was one of the strong stocks There exists excessive short interest. and the reports of its condition are daily more favorable. There appears to be no doubt that the floating debt since last spring has been reduced some $1, ,5oO0 900; that the collateral trust bonds have been reduced since January 1st 1 some $126000 and that the sinking fund will re- deem about $6o.0o0 more of them before next Feb ruary.
