Ii Is learned that some apprehension has
been expressed as to the merit of concrete
as building material, and especially as to
its fitness for use in the construction OF
the Parish house and Music hall now in
process OF building In our village.
For the information OF those who have
not examined the subject, II seems well to
say that the use OF this material Is not
new. although II has only recently been
introduced into this section. The founda-
tons OF most OF the principal buildings in
the great cities have for several years past
been made OF concrete, and bridge abut-
ments and large portion OF the masonry
OF the extensive subways in New York
and elsewhere, have employed the same
material. IL has been extensively and
most effectively used in the far West in
the construction Of dams, reservoirs, and
in other ways as protection against the
exercised in the selection OF each OF the
materials Of which the concrete Is COM
posed, and care also as to the drying and
hardening process which renders II as
strong and durable as granite, and much
better than granite as protection against
fire.
An article taken from "Country Life in
America" and published in the New York
Tribune OF last Sunday says:-"rhe adj
vantages OF concrete on the mechanical
side are these: It Is proof against fire
wind and water, rats, insects and dry roi
and the dangers OF electricity. Ii needs
no painting or repair. Fire, or water
overflow inside, can do only local damage
to the contents OF room and no more. II
becomes stronger and harder with age
There is great economy OF heating. Being
a firm mass throughout, there is no vibra.
ton, and in case one spot OF the founda-
tions should be undermined, the well-kni
structure might not show so much as .
crack. II is practically earthquake proof
1t is healthful, because it leaves no assures
for dust or for insects which spread dis
ease. 1t is cool in summer and warm II
winter, and with minimum OF exertioI
can be kept sweet and clean"

foundations already laid of the hous

CENESKY'S TRIAL
Jury is Completed and the. Taking
 of Evidence Was Begun To-day.

The taking of evidence in the mur- der case against. Joseph Cenesky be- gan this morning in the superior court at 9:3G o'clock. Attorney Fierce alone is conducting the defense, while At torneys Kellogg and Meigs appear for the state. Cenesky sits at the end of the lawyers table exactly where Preston, the initial cause of the mur. der of Thomas Lockwood, sat last week, and where Charles Bassett who is serving Il life sentence for that crime on which Cenesky is now on trial, sat before him, and in the same chair. Somehow that chair never gets mixed up with the other chairs. It is exactly the same fin all respects but Court Messenger Platt would recog- niza it ill q moment from all the other chairs and it is now known as the prisoners chair.'
 It was almost time to adjourn yes terlay afternoon when the last of the twelve jurors was selected. The full panel consists of Frank A. Hotch- kiss, Cheshire; Edward l.. Cowles, North Branford; Stephen A. Talmage, Prospect; Edgar H. Jones, Naugatuck; Dwight H. Foot, North Branford; Ol- iyer Powell, Ansonia; Byron l.. Morse, Prospect; James D. Goldsmith, Gull ford; Spencer Hotchkiss, Naugatuck; Samuel Nuttall, Waterbury; Richard H. Smith, Seymour, and V. E. Hitch cock, Meriden.
 Attorney Pierce examined each man most minutely and if he has not se- cured a jury to his own liking he caii- not be blamed.
 The medical testimony was the first taken. In all respects it is almost eX. actly the same as that given in tho Bassett case. The defense has been allowed the services of a physician to protest his clients interests on that point. Dr Anderson was selected. Hypothetical questions, similar to those asked in the preceding trial of this case. consisted of the testimony given this forenoon and it is on this evidence that the fight between the state and the defense will hinge. The old musket with the broken butt. the same old chair with the sawed-Off back and broken seat, the broken revolver used by Bassett, all the exhibits, in fact. used in the first trial, are used in this.
 It is said that Bassett refused to testify for the state and that his req sons for so doing are that he would involve himself deeper than he was shown to have been and that after ten or fifteen years he will apply for a pardon. claiming that it was not exclusively proven that he was the murderer.
 It will be recalled that Bassett's de- fense was an alibi and that some Ot his witnesses testified he was not the man they saw with Leonard on the Middlebury road the afternoon the murder was committed. Even Pres ton did not identify him as the man he met in New York.
