Colohel Jarvis' Birthday. Colonel }'harles M. Jarvis, . presi- dent of the Connecticut State agricul- tural -society of Berlin, observed his fifty-ninth birthday yesterday. Mr, Jarvisis of the seventh genera- tion in degcent from William and Eg- con- | car when the Berlin will also | ther Jarvis, the former of whom was one of the original settlers of Hunt- ington, I.. . He was born in De- posit, Delaware county, N. Y., April 16, 1856. At that time, his father was operating a line of stages between New York City and Oswego, N. Y., having the contract for delivering the United States mails between Oswego and New York city in forty eight hours. When Mr. Jarvis was two years old, his parents moved to Binghampton, N. Y., and he received his early education in the public schools of that place. Iintering the Sheffield — Scientifie school of Yale university, he was grad- vated with his class in the vear 1877, having taken a course in civil engin- eering, In April 1878, he was offered =ition with the Berlin Iron Bridge of East Berlin, Conn., the company at that time being known as the Corrugated Metal company. Th had then about twenty emploves and did a business of about $20,000 a vear. For two or three years, Mr. Jarvis did the entire work of muaking all the drawing, estimates and a portion of the contracts, and also kept the books. A good part of the history of the Ber- lin Iron Bridge company is the history of Charles M. Jar as, for a long period, he gave his entire time and attention to the development of this enterprise and made it one of the most successful of the many successful Connecticut corporations. Later he became’ identified and F. Corbin company of and subsequently became president of the American Hardware corporation, from which position he resigned a few years ago. He is now the active manager of the White Add- ing Machine company in New Haven.

At the short calendar session of the court of common pleas yesterday, Judge Edward l. Smith assigned for trial on Thursday the suit of Frank J. and Matilda Lord of Forestville against James Cray, administrator of the estate of the late Patrick Cough- lin. There is considerable local interest in the action as the payment of lega- cies to several nephews living here are held up pending a settlement of the suit. Caughlin had an estate of over $60,000, and as he failed to make a will his property 11 to he divided among twenty nicces and nephews. The suit of the Lords is to recover for a tance which they claim to have rendered the eccentric old bach- elor for several years, They occu- pied one of his houses in Forestville | and they declare that he had promised to will the place to them in considera- | tion of services rendered. Mrs. Lord claims to have done his washing for years, She also puts in a claim for meals served him and for caring for the premises. Coughlin’s heirs objected to paying the bills and tlie administrator set up the claim that as statements had never heen rendered during the old man's life, the Lords had a weak case. The settlement of the estate has been delayed on account of the suits. Rev. R. H. Burton to Officiate, Rev, R. H.
