Pork Barrel with a History.

Uriah Whitney has just made a "dicker'' with Luce Burr for a pork barrel he has longed to possess ever since he was boy. This barrel is a historic feature of Connecticut, and its history is traeek back at least 235 years.
 Many times MT. Whitney has made offers to MT. Burr for the barrel. MT and Mrs. Burr are moving to Stratford, and were urged by friends not to take the pork barrel from Torrington. For that season they consented to part with it.
 The written record of the barrel runs back to Zebulon Curtis, of Kensington, who received it as bequest from his grandfather in l735, and who was as sured at that time that the barrel had been in use more than one hundred years. Mir. Curtis removed to Torring- ton in 1743, and the receptable has been handed down from one generation to another.-Torrington Dispatch.

Globe Consolidated was the feature of the curb market yesterday, owing to the strike made in the Mallory shaft Bids advanced from 6 to 63-4, but not much of the stock changed hands, prob ably because most of it cost the hold CTS much more than prices that low. Orders were received yesterday for 200 shares at 3-4, but no stock could be secured in Globe to fill them. Old Dominion also held strong, closing at 2S l-2 bid.

JUDGE ALLOWS
SMITHS STORY
: Low STAGGERS The DEFENSE
ending of Thaw Trial Is In Sight
Lunacy Commission Is
Abandoned.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The end
of the Thaw trial at last seems to be
in sight Tentative plans for the
final stages of the trial we're agreed
on today by the counsel, even to the
detail of allotting the time for sum-
ming up. District Attorney Jerome
has at last burned all bridges behind
him leading to lunacy commission
and is irrevocably pointing his course
to proving Thaw was sane when he
shot White, and being sane his crime
constituted murder in the first de-
gree. Within two weeks the case
should be in the hands of the jury.
Jerome played today probably the
strongest card he holds, the evidence
of which came to his knowledge but
few days ago and which undoubted-
1y caused him to abandon the idea
of trying to send Whites slayer to
a mad house and try for a straight
out conviction under the criminal
statutes. The evidence came from
Mrs. Whites brother, James G.
Smith, who told remarkably clear,
succinct story of the events of MaJi-
son Square garden the night White
was killed and of long conversation
he had with Thaw just before the
shooting. Delmas fought bitterly
the Introduction of this testimony
for nearly two hours today, renew
ing his argument begun yesterday
afternoon. He insisted Smith was
probably witness in chief and
should not be allowed to testify in
rebuttal. Jerome replied he only
recently ascertained the value of
Smiths testimony and he appealed
to the court to allow the testimony to
go in. Judge Fitzgerald held in the
interest of justice the jury is en-
titled to know all the facts. 1t was
one of the most serious blows the
judge had dealt the defense since the
trial began.
A photographer named Rudolf
Eckemeyer, who took the pictures
of Evelyn Thaw when had been in
troduced in the evidence, was the
last witness of the day. Jerome tried
to fix dates of certain pictures for
which Evelyn posed, thus hoping to
establish the day she says she had
the experience with Stanford White.
Delmas objected on the ground the
evidence tended to contradict Mrs
Thaw's story. Jerome said he de-
sired to take advantage of the waiver
Delmas made at the beginning of the
trial in regard to rebutting Mrs
Thaw's testimony.
