MICHAEL CONNOLLY DROWNED.
His Body Found in Mill River Yester-
 day Morning.


 The body of Michael Connolly, aged thirty one, a father, of 31 Market street, was found floating in Mill river at 7:15 yesterday morning by his brother-in- law, Daniel Doherty, who was seeking him. Connolly had been missing from home since November 15 on which date he was noticed on the corner of Grand avenue and East street, intoxicated.
 When in this condition it is said that Connolly had habit of going across the Mill river flats to his home instead of going around by way of the streets. Tn doing this he was required to cross a bridge near the G. F. Warner Manu- featuring company. After 6 o'clock the gateway to the bridge is closed, and to get past Connolly was generally requir- ed to scale the gate. In doing this there was great danger to one in his condition of falling into the river be- meath.
 This is what is supposed to have hap pened to Connolly, and although he was missed the next day, an untrue report that he was working in Waterbury kept the family from getting alarmed. Late ly, though, it was ascertained by them that suh was not the case, and a search was commenced at once, resulting in the finding of the body by Doherty yes- terday morning.
 Connolly was unmarried, but leaves, besides his mother, two sisters and brother. s19ta4

----------------- MORE ELECTION CONTESTS.
Heard by Senate and House Commit
 tees Yesterday.

tees Yesterday. The senate committee OH contested elections, which met yesterday at the capitol in Hartford, adjourned the hearing on the Hall Kennedy case from the Fifth senatorial district until next Thursday afternoon at ? o'clock About three hours were spent yesterday af- ternoon hearing the contest for the seat which Warren H. Hall of Waterbury claims Senator William Kennedy is not entitled to hold.
 MT. Hall was represented by Attor- ney John P Kellogg, and w. c. Case was counsel for Senator Kennedy. MT. Halls claim is In brief that there are inaccuracies in the election returns of the district to such an extent that a recount would demonstrate that he is elected by a plurality of from fifteen to twenty votes. The claim was set up that in one ward of Waterbury, where MT. Kennedy Is credited with 576 votes the figures should be 516, and in other wards double ballots were counted H. legally. The election returns sent to the office of the secretary of state show
 
 total of 4,726 votes and MT. Kennedy 4s36, but Attorney Kellogg believes that recount based on evidence partly introduced this afternoon will demon strate that recount will change these figures. The contest before the com mlttee bids fair to be a long drawn out one because of the nature of the evil dence which is almost entirely verifica- tion of the figures of the election re- turns in the possession of the town clerk.
 The house committee on contested elections finished hearing the testimony in the Porter Slater contest from Far mington at noon yesterday. No action was taken by the committee, but the matter was adjourned until next week. No day was fixed however, and Chair man King said he would announce it on Tuesday.

The judge finished his the jury retired shortly after. Dinner and supper was served to them in the and through Foreman Babcock asked for instructions regarding the prepon- derance of evidence, and also what weight should be given to probability. Judge Hubbard instructed them in these matters, and they again retired. When they came in at o'clock the foreman asked if any of the jurors thought that an agreement could be reached if they retired to the jury room again. Juror Frank Egan stated that he would like to go back again. Judge Hubbard, however, said that owing to the fact that the foreman had stated that there was not the remotest poss1- biity of an agreement he thought the only thing to be done was to discharge them, and he did so. It is stated that the jury stood 10 to ? for conviction.
 This trial began on the 21st of Decem- Der last. During the hearing there have been seventy eight witnesses. It has been very largely attended and at times the court room was not large enough to accommodate all those who were desirous of hearing the proceed ings.

cult and district courts in the several states. Under this law there are three such actions pending in this district, and a large number of them through out the country. In June, 1898, con- gress amended the law by providing that the circuit and district courts shall not have jurisdiction over claims or officers of the United States for official services. Therefore, in the suit of eX- Marshal Emory F. Strong of Bridgeport against the United States, the district attorney moved to dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction, claiming that all pending actions fall with the repeal Of the law. On the other hand, the counsel for plaintiff insisted that the act is wholly future and applies only to suits hereafter brought and that if the case was to be thrown out large part of the bill would be barred by the statute oi limitations.
 The final decision will affect a great number of claims and suits. Such &C., tions can still be brought in the court of claims at Washington. District At torney Charles w. Comstock appeared for the government and Lewis D. Stan ton of Hartford for ex-Marshal Strong.
