Henncssy on Trial For Murder.

LITcHFIELD, May 9.-The adjourned term of the superior court opened this morning at the county court house for the trial of Michael Hennessy of New Milford, charged with murder in the second de- gree. Judge Fem of the supreme court is on the bench. It is expected the trial will last about two days. This morning a jury was obtained without much trouble, although the crime for which Hennessy is on trial gained much publicity owing to its atrociousness. In December last, while under the influence of liquor, Hen messy kicked and beat his wife and held her in the fireplace in the kitchen of their home until she was burned in a horrible manner. She died two days later. Hen messy was indicted two weeks ago by the grand jury for murder in the second de- gree.

CONVICT GOES INSANE.
Emmanuel Rose, a Five Years Man, Sent
 to Prison Hospital,

Emmanuel hOSP, U rive 1edTS Soh'
 to Prison Hospital.
 Emmanuel Rose, Portuguese negro from the Cape Verde islands, who is serv- ing a five years sentence at the state prison for assault with intent to kill, has become insane and was yesterday removed to the prison hospital by Warden Wood bridge. Rose first showed signs of insan- ity during the service in the chapel last Sunday. While the male quartette was singing he suddenly jumped from his seat and began waving his hands and shout ing. Warden Woodbridge jumped from his seat on the platform and led Rose to his cell. Rose made no resistance what ever and after reaching his cell became himself again for a short time. He has had relapses of this apparent insanity since and it was thought best to remove him to the hospital.
 Warden Woodbridge is having an iron fence put up in the guard room between the outside door and the place where the night guard sits. This will prevent the possibility of outsiders trying to assist the prisoners by getting in the door. The door will be fitted with a speaking tube which will communicate with the night guard, and if everything is all right the guard will open the door by pressing an electric button.

Jockeys With Bank Presidents, Salaries.

Jockey talent is extremely meager, and this accounts for the extravagant salaries paid to the good ones Taral gets S15 GOO from Mr. keene, Sims gets SIP, GOO from Mr. Dwyer, Lamley gets $S,OOO from Colonel Ruppert, Doggett gets ss,OOO from Dr. Knapp. These are pretty stiff prices to pay a jockey for first call on his services, but the number of competent jockeys is so small that it cannot be otherwise, says Cap tain Absolute. The good jockeys get too heavy and are compelled to stand down" in favor of the younger ones, who are in turn compelled to give way soon as they reach certain age Nothing short of in- creasing the scale of weights will ever rem- edy this. Over in England the good jockey has a career covering his lifetime open to him, because there a nine stone Q26 pound) jockey can find enough riding to keep him busy. Here jockey who cannot get below HIS pounds is ''out of it."

The trustees of the first. second and terminal mortgage bonds are made defendants in the matter.

When he has done this he will report his findings to the judge, who will make the final decision in the matter. It is gener- ally expected that the receivers will be able to present evidence sufficient to prove the absolute need~ef funds.

offensive fighter and hard hitter, and he is SO fearless that he has invariably en- countered bigger men. When he met Jim Corbett before the latter became champion, he was defeated, but he put up a great fight Corbett does not hesitate to say that he is the gamest and fairest fighter he eve, met. Joe Goddard, the big Barrier cham, pion, defeated Choynski twice, but he is likely to remember both occasions for the reason that Choynski punished him terri bly,.
 Choynski has defeated many good men, including Frank Glover, Billy Woods, George Godfrey, Micky Dooly, Owen Sulli van and Jim Fogarty. Choynski's style of fighting resembles that of Corbett, and he is hard hitter and shifty boxer. His last battle of note was with George God frey, Oct. 3, 1s,2, at Coney Island. Choyn- ski won in the fifteenth round.

The Globe Theater Burned
other BuilslinRs Damaged.

BosToN, Mass Jan. 2.-Four alarms,
the first one at 1:15 this morning, were
given in rapid succession, for fire in the
Globe theatre, on Washington street.
1t was said to have started in the coat
room on the north side in the basement.
1t was burning vigorously inside when
the 6rcmen arrived and the flames reach
ing the interior of the theatre itself had
shot up through and along the balconies,
and were bursting through the roof.
Several heavy explosions took place be-
tween 1:5O and 2:15; whether of gas,
calcium light tanks, or of chemicals said
to be usediu the performance Of Hanlons
Superba company, which had been play.
ing an engagement there, is not known.
The whole th.ater. from basement to
gallery and from lobby to stage, was
soon afire and doomed. At 8 o'clock the
entire centre Of the play house was fairly
burned out.

the flames gained a footing was the four.
story brick structure adjoining the
scenery room OF the theatre, formerly
occupied as residence bv John Stetson
and which is now occupied BY the Globe
theatre cafe and the club room OF the
Massachusetts Yacht club. The build
ing was badly damaged by fire and
