TEE LECTURE sY PROF DRAKE.
ATTENDED BY A LARGE AND REPRESENT
 ATIvE AUDIENCE.


 St Roses church was taxed to it's ut. most capacity, Wednesday night, when representative audience gathered to listen to the lecture by Prof Drake of Boston, on the lebrated "Passion Play'' as given at Oberammergau. The enter tainment was opened by an introductory speech by the professor, followedsby a selection by the orchestra, after which the professor in we'll modulated voice began the lecture. The very beauti- ful and effective scenes In the life of Christ were shown on the canvas in a very clear manner and elicited much praise from all present. The closing views were series of tableaux of "Rock of Ages" and the colorings of these were about perfect. During the lecture the musical selections were given and special mention can be made of the solo of Fath- CT Smith, whose clear voice was heard to good advantage. J. Callahan was also in good voice, and the solos of the Misses Hsrrigan and Lynch were of high or- der. The whole musical program was very nice and Mrs Gordon deserves cred It for her training. The lecture was a success and St Roses church will net a good sum as the result.

THE LEGISLATURE.

This session of the Legislature is go ing to be shorter than some of it's prede- cessors, and commendable spirit to cut down expenses is being shown. On Wednesday, the Senate showed by de. cisive vote, that the state is not ready to abolish capital punishment. Gov Cooke sent in the name of Ex-Ineurance Com missioner o. R. Fyler of Torrington to be railroad commissioner in place of AL exander c. Robertson Of Montville, (dem ) and he was promptly confirmed. The resolution pensioning Dr Henry Bar nard at 5000 per year, adversely re- ported by the committee on appropria- tions and rejected by the House, was made the special order for next Tuesday at l 80 o'clock. The House tabled the bill providing for an insane ward at the state prison, rejected the bill to pension state prison officials and passed the con- vict parole bill. Several judges of local police courts were elected by concurrent votes, including Judge Bill and Associate Judge Perkins of the Hartford court.

 PORT.

The assault case of James W. Kain against William J. Brew, teacher of the Pootatuck school, was tried on Wednes. day before Judge Howard Curtis of the Court of Common Pleas.

Thomas J. Corbett, John Hubbell, John Bradley and Edward Troy appeared as witnesses for MT Brew, their testimony trying to show Mr Kain's injuries were not as serious as claimed.
