ADJUSTMENTS.
''MOnte CristO.' .''


 Monday evening next James O'Neill will appear in his famous impersonation of Monte Cristo." MT O'Neill is one of the most polished and finished actors on the American stage and his portrayal of the character is we'll nigh perfect and so true to nature that the strange, but powerful story appears as reaIizatlon.
 ''The Witch.
 It is doubtful if any play brought out in recent years, has received as much favorable comment as is showered upon "The Witch,' the Puritan play, which Marie Hubert Frohman brings to the opera house, September 11th. The fol lowing IS an excerpt from the New York Worlds criticism: There is a strong love story running through "The Witch''- one of those love stories that we all like, even though we have heard them five hundred times before. The history of the man who, through cruel wound in the head, is led to repudiate his wife, because he cannot remember his mar. riage, is told without any undue sensa- tionalism or struggle for Bowery effect

THE WILLIMANTIC MURDER.
Weaving Network of Evidence Around
 Mrs Daley.

Weaving a Network of Evidence Around
 Mrs Daley.
 WILLIMANTIC, September 1O.-The re- suit of the autopsy held yesterday after noon on the body of John Corcoran who was killed, supposedly by Mrs Daley, showed that the jugular vein had been severed with the instrument used and that death was caused by a hemorrhage. Who struck the blow is the question. The inquest held yester- day afternoon resulted in throwing most of the evidence against Mrs Daley. John Corcoran testified that he bought three half pints of liquor for Mrs Daley and James and that when he was on his way to buy some more the deed was committed, as he saw his brother lying bleeding on the lounge when he entered the house again. When he asked his brother who cut him James struck him a blow on the mouth with his hand and ordered him away. No one was in the room with his brother when he returned but Mrs Daley, and the scissors was one the floor. His testimony was corrobo- rated by the two little boys of Mrs Daley, Willie, aged 12, and James, aged 15, who told the same story of the afternoons dOings.

The Search for "Jersey" Quinn.

ROCKVILLE, Sept 1O.-Jersey Quinn, the escaped convict, continues to keep out of the way of the officers, although many persons are locking for him ill hope of securing the S10O reward. Re- that he has been seen in certain places every day, but it is not probable that he is in this vicinity yet. Deputy Sheriff Shea discovered yesterday a nicely con- structed cave in sand bank near the West street woods with the remains of roasted potatoes and other eatables in it. This has probably been one of Quinn stopping places. It is known that there are persons here who are assisting him with food, and also keep him posted in regard to the search of the officers. He is said to be armed with a large knife, and being a desperate fellow, would use the knife before he would surrender and be taken to state prison.

FIVE DOLLARS OR THE HORSE.
That Is What a Colored Man Demanded

That Is What "A Colored Man Demanded
 For Stopping 8 Runaway.
 Police Officer George Thomas was called upon to decide peculiar case this morning, the principals being Russian peddler, negro and a horse.
 AS the story goes, the peddler's horse ran away on North Elm street, making complete wreck of the wagon. In the grand scramble couple of baskets of fruit fell out of a team which the negro was driving. This so incensed the darkey that he jumped from the seat. captured the runaway horse and when the owner put in an appearance, demanded S5 for his trouble. The peddler refused to pay that amount and offered to compromise for $1, but the negro was obdurate and declared that he would have either S5 or the horse. They finally decided to let | the police settle the question and went to the station followed by a crowd of nearly one hundred people. Officer the caravan halted at thessdoor. After hearing both sides of the story the police man said to the peddler: | "How much will you pay this man | for his trouble!
 "Me geef von tollar.'
 "Will you take that and call it square, said the officer, turning to the grinning darkey.
 "No, by golly, I want if dollar anc | wont take no less.
 "Oh, you won't, won't you." said tht officer, giving him whirl; then get ou of here in hurry or I'll lock you up."
 The threat was too much for th' darkey. He released his hold on th' horse and started for Exchange place or double quick time. The peddler tool his horse and went out to gather ul his wagon for fire wood.

 Catch a Burglar

Catch Burglar.
 HARTFORD, September 1O.-About 1 o'clock this morning E. D. Frisbie of 136 Collins street, was aroused by the screaming of his fourteen year old daughter. He jumped out of bed and seizing his revolver rushed out into the hallway, where he was confronted by a masked burglar armed with a revolver. MT Frisbie fired two shots directly at him. The lantern fell and the man dis, appeared in the darkness. By this time the whole house was in an uproar. Mir Frisbie shouted with all his might to arouse the neighbors, but they were all sound sleepers. In about five minutes J. o. Kerr responded to the shouts, but no more help came. After shouting in valn for the police, MT Frisbie told MT Kerr to ring the fire alarm or do any thing to get somebody on the spot. MT Kerr accordingly rang the alarm. This | brought three policemen and the fire department to the scene. A search was made, but the burglar could not be | found.
