 London, Jan 27.-A score of insane patients were burned to death by 8 fire at the Colney Hatch asylum this morning. The outbreak occurred in the Jewish wing of the institution. The flames spread with great rapidity and before they could be got under 1 control five wooden buildings, inciud- ing dormitories and the doctors apart ments, were gutted. All the efforts of the officials were directed to removing the insane inmates, but the latter be- came wild with excitement and so unable to help themselves, but greatly l impeded the operations of those trying to save them.
 There were nearly GOO women in the burned annex at the time the fire was discovered, and most of them were safely transferred to the main build ing, which was uninujred. Some, however, escaped and are still at large, ! rendering it difficult to ascertain the I exact number of those burned to death

 The case of Patrick Tanning vs Court Welch. F.. of A., which was down for a hearing in the city court room this afternoon, did not take place not because the contending parties were not ready for the fray, but on ac~ count of the absence from town of all the judges. People who came here from Watervflle kicked up big rum pus and wanted to know if the three local judges were ont on strike. After firing several rounds of ammunition at the limbs of the law the principals and witnesses left, apparently very much. heard. each acting as if he had notion that all that was necessary in order to win out was to get chance to tell his side of the story.
 Contractor Sutton of this city who has the contract for making the sew age filtration beds for New Britain has suspended operations until the frost gets out of the ground.

The contract for the tunnel and the ap~ proaches thereto has not yet been awarded and it is hard to tell when it will be unless the authorities can get better figures than they received some time ago, when all the nabobs of the town came near fainting at the idea Of contractors wanting $36 foot and some of them more than that for about 1000 feet of a tunnel Washburn x Washburn did that class of work in Waterbury some years ago for . very small figure and while the job came mighty near putting the firm out of business they stuck to itfjust the same and gave excellent satisfaction.

 Set Free.

5E { !. a+tlg St t8 '
 Chicago, Jan 27.7-Because of errors in his indictment, John Dennison, who was convicted of murder twelve years ago and received life sentence as pen alty, has been freed on habeas corpus proceedings before Judge McEwan. Dennison was accused of the murder of man named Dillon, and at the same time a man named Burke was indicted for robbing Dillon. The drawer of the indictment against Den nison substituted ,Burke's name for his
 and worded the document so anblgu- ously that 1t was practically nullified. The coIgfusang sentences were erased, but it is not known, whether the eras- ure was made before or after the trial. The law presumes that the erasure was made afterwards and principally upon t1ris technical ground Dennison was releasde.
