WAS SUDDENLY STRICKEN
Drum Major of St Joseph's Drum
 Corps Becomes Insane.

Michael J. Kelliher of Spencer ave nue was stricken this morning with acute insanity and for a time his condi- ton was considered serious. He awoke about o'clock this morning dreaming about poisoned milk in New Britain and got the notion into his head that the deadly drug lurked in every corner of the house. He became very violent and in their efforts to restrain him a a couple of boarders had hard tussle. In the scuffie Kelliher's wrist was bad ly cut by piece of broken china. Dr Graves was called and rendered such aid as was in his power. Later in the day the patient became somewhat ra- tional and it was thought that it would not be necessary to send him away. Kelliher is drum major of St Joseph s drum corps and is spoken of as very respectable young man. He lives with his mother and retired last night in his usual good health. Dr Graves said it was simply a case of acute insanity
 but how long it would last was some thing nobody could tall at this time.

CHARGED WITH CRUELTY.
Pupils in Colebrook Bring Teacher
 Before Humane Society.

Wfnsted, Nov 1O-Accused of in- ficting cruel punishment upon pupils in her school, Miss Jessie Victory, a teacher in the district school at Cole brook River, was on Saturday brought before R T. Higgins, prosecuting agent for the Connecticut Humane society. Complaint against the teacher was made by parents of several of the pu- pills who declared that their children had recently come home complaining of the harsh treatment administered by the pretty school teacher. Gases of insubordination among. the pupils in her school resulted in speedy pun ishment, and boys and girls in Miss Victory's school declared that they had been logged in a manner that was never before known in the Colebrook school. A few days ago Miss Victory had occasion to chastise Marie Perri- al, a pupil in her school. The child went home and complained to her parents and as the result of this petition was sent to the Humane sO- ciety to investigate the methods of pun ishment practiced by Miss Victory in her school.
 c. N. Hall, agent for the state board
 
 of education, was summoned from New Milford to attend the hearing. Several of the pupils were called and related their experiences. Parents of syeral children also appeared against Miss Victory. The investigation clos ed with the decision by Agent Higgins not to take any further steps in the matter Miss Victory showed that she had to deal with unruly pupils and that the punishment which she inflicted was not too severe. None of the allegations made against the teach CT was substantiated. The investiga- ton by Agent Higgins showed that there was a popular dislike among the parents for Miss Victory. Now the resignation of Miss Victory as teacher in the Colebrook district school is in the hands of the school committee. She says that her experience i'll q country district school prompts her to seek position in a school in one of the cities. Agent Higgins said that the charges against Miss Victory were precipitated by troubles outside the school and that enemies of the school teacher took advantage of the com plaints made by the pupils who were punished to make trouble for her.

ANARCHISTIC CONDITIONS.
Rev MT White Says It's Every Man
 for Himself in America

Chicago, Nov 1O.-Conditions almost anarchistic prevail in the United States, according to John Fl. White, Episcopal bishop of northern Indiana. In sermon at Grace church he de- clared that the American people have forgotten their duties in a mad rush for wealth and fame.
 Tt is every man for himself" he de- clared. The typical American is needless of how he achieves his end. Those that come i'll his way are trampled upon or pushed aside. It is this lack of respect for the wishes and rights of others that has brought about conditions in this country that border on the anarchistic.''
 Irreverence. he declared, is respon- sible for the existing evil conditions. American education tends, he said, to create, and the strenuosity of Ameri- can life has the effect of increasing the irreverent spirit.
 Our institutions" said the bisbop. nave had such a rapid growth and our progress has been so wonderful that we are filled with an admiration of ourselves that surpasses our admir- atlon for anything else.''

A NEW WITNESS.
Prosecutor Osborne Tried To
 Run Him in To-Day.
MR BLACK BARRED HIM OUT.

Court Room Crowded to the Limit to
 Witness the Closing Scenes of the
 Moineux Trial-Attorney Black h
 Closing His Argument Charged Cor
 nish With Being the Murderer of
 Mrs Adams.
 New York Nov 1O.-The criminal branch of the supreme court opened to-day upon the closing scenes III tne second trial of Roland B. Molineux for the murder of Katherine J. Adams on December 2S, 1898. A crowd of more than thousand men and women filled the corridors of the criminal court building seeking admission, and half an hour before court opened every seat was occupied, the reporters tables were overwhelmed, chairs blocked the aisles and in the passageWays from the Justices chamber to the bench were about twenty women. When Moli- neux was brought in no chair could be found for him. His father, General Molineux, gave up his place to the de fendant.
 Contrary to expectations the proceed 1ngs did not open with the appeal of ex-Governor Black for dismissal of the charges against the accused. That was the scheduled program, but for some reason or other a change was made and Assistant District Attorney Osborne called out: 'Is MT Eveal here? A voice replied that he was, and at MT Osborne's invitation MT Eyeal walked to the witness chair.
 Ex-Governor Black protested that tne case was closed as far as the talk Ing or testimony was concerned, and the counsel for the defense and prose- cutlon had long whispered conference Witn Justice Lambert as to the admis- s1bllIty of the testimony.
 Alter some discussion Eveal was not put on the stand to testify and the summing up began. Tn ex-Governor black,s address he commented on the evidence of the different witnesses ana r1d1culed the testimony of Joseph Koch, the Broadway letter box man who said that Molineux rented a box of him. He took up the question of handwriting at great length upon the alleged suppression of evidence by the district attorney. He said that al- though the prosecutor stated that cyanide of mercury could only be pur- chased in Newark, he could get enough to poison every man in the sound of his voice. He laid great stress upon the willingness of Molineux to write for the prosecution, when he was un- der suspicion and before arrested. He declared that there was crime and and there was a motive and the mo- tive pointed to Harry $. Cornish as the murderer.

 Who is of Jewish Ancestry
 London, Nov 10.-To-day for the first time in the history of London, the lord mayors procession traYersed the unfashionable thoroughfare or Petticoat Lane in the heart of the Ghetto, in recognition of the Jewish ancestry of Sir Marcus Samuel, the new lord mayor. Jewish London es- poorest inhabitants of Whitechapel and Houndsditch were banqueted at the expense of their wealthier CO religionists.
 The quaint annual progress of the chief executive of tine city through the streets of the metropolis was probably more brilliant this year than usual. Seven richly decorated floats and fif- teen bands representing the crack regi- 1nents, together with the city officials and the London guilds, made up J goodly pageant. A unique feature was float representative of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, surmounted by the arms of both countries and sur rounded by a guard of Japanese and British b1uejackets.
 The procession left the Guild hall at Il a. nl and traversed the princi- pal streets of the old city of London to the law courts where, according to ancient custom, the lord mayor was formally presented to the lord chief justice and was sworn in.
