The remarkable case at Lyme, in which members of ''Holiness' band are ac- cused of torturing poor old woman who suffered from rheumatism, will, if proper ly tried and if the facts prove to be sub stantially as represented, throw an inter- esting light on the gross delusions that are astonishingly common in the rural parts of New England. The delusions themselves are no wider from truth than some that are found among people with better trained minds, but they take a wilder and more brutal form when put in practice. In this instance the notion that the woman's rheumatism was merely evil dence that the devil had taken possession of her body, and that he could be driven out by force and through her physical suffering, is no more absurd in itself than the delusion of the faith cure people, or those who are called mental scientists. The difference Is that they took form of active cruelty hardly possible in larger community, where manners and modes of thought have been modified by inter- course, even at second hand, with more cultivated intelligences. In fact, the primitive nature of life in small towns, and especially in scattered farm houses of the back country, is not easily under stood by those who have never seen any thing of it. A man who lived for years in California and Oregon, as a civil engin- ger, and has had experience of the same kind of life in some of these remoter re- gions of Connecticut, says that these are wonderfully like the thinly settled DOT tions of the west coast in manners and in ignorance and disregard of law and mod ern thought. According to him there are still many vicinities in which a man may be killed without much prospect of any legal inquiry following, and in which 1t Is more than likely that the killer will be protected by those who know of the affair unless one of them happens to be on the side of the other man. Glimpses of this low. barbarous life occasionally may be seen in court. I remember one such case tried here fifteen or twenty years ago. A great part of the testimony could not be printed, and the picture life there pre- scented cannot have been forgotten by those who heard the trial.-H0rtf0rd Let ter iaa Sunday RepU6sscGns

It was in l842 that John Draper, then a professor in the University of New York, made the first portrait photo. graph. The subject was Elizabeth Dra- per, his sister. Professor Draper had the idea that in order to produce distinct facial outlines in photography it would be necessary to cover the countenanoe of the person photographed with flour. This seems a strange notion now, and 1t proved not to be good one then, for all of Professor Draper's early attempts were failures. Finally be left of the flour and then was quite successful. This so delighted him that he sent the picture to Sir William Herschel, Ehe em- inent English astronomer Sir William was in turn delighted and made known Professor Draper's success to the scien7 tifo men of Europe. He also sent Pro- lessor Draper letter of acknowledg- ment and congratulation, which has been carefully preserved in the archives of the Draper family.

Election.

The election in Massachusetts resulted in Governor Wolcott receiving Q vote of 165, ,370; Williams, the democratic candi- date, received 79,414; Everett, national democrat, 14, 134 Wolcott's plurality, 95, ,956.
 Van Wyck, the Tammany candidate, was elected mayor of Greater New York by plurality of 86,927. Van Wyck re- ceived vote of PAS, ,253; Low, the citi- zens' candidate, 136,328; Tracy, republi- can, 1O3, ,722; George, independent, 19, ,742. The death of Henry George last Friday morning no doubt helped to swell Van Wyck's vote, as Henry George, Jr., who was nominated in his fathers place, did not hold the vote that would have been given to his father. Boss Platt is re- sponsible for the Tammany success, for the figures show that had the republicans endorsed Lows nomination he would have been elected.
 Ohio is republican by a plurality of 12,O0O to 15,OOO. Late returns indicate that the republicans will have a small majority in the legislature.
 Iowa is republican by plurality of 31,OOO.
 Kentucky is democratic by a majority of over 25, 600.
 In Nebraska the fusion ticket Is elected by from 10000 to 12,OOO.
 Colorado, Kansas and Maryland are in doubt.

Sheriff Dickinson and other officers of Rockville have been on chase the past few days, as they thought, after Henry Dimlow, the noted horse thief and des- perado. It was reported that three men, one of whom closely resembled Dimlow, were in Rockville Monday, and the off, cers started out to find them, but were unsuccessful until Tuesday morning, when they came upon three men near Crystal Lake, on their way to Stafford Springs. The three men were told to hold up their hands by the officers, who were heavily armed, and their order was obeyed. The supposed Dimlow was taken back to Rockville, and the other two were al- lowed to continue on their tramp to Staf- ford Springs. After the supposed Dim low was taken to Rockville, 1t was doubt ed whether they had the right man or not, although he strongly resembled Dim- low. His relatives weakened when 1t came to absolute recognition, and yester- day, when Warden Woodbridge of Weth- ersf1eld arrived and decided that the pris- oner was not Dimlow, he was released.
