Moore Graham, wife of Jason Jerome Graham of Kensing- ton, died at her home yesterday short- ly after noon. Mrs. Graham has been ailing for some time but was feeling better and decided to make a visit to Jher daughter, Mrs. Charles Nichols, of | Bridgeport. Her R. H.

Griswold was sum- moned and Mrs. Graham was removed to her home, where she died shortly after her arrival. Medical Examiner . M. Griswold was called and gave * the cause of death as apoplexy. Mrs, Graham was born on the Isle of Man and was 74 years, 4 month and 12 days old. She came to this country early in life and settled in Jlensington. She was the oldest liv- ing member of the Kensington Con- gregational church, having become a communicant in 1857 Her husband joined the church two vears later and Is consequently the oldest living member now Ever hard worl for the church, Mrs. Graham made many frier She was held in high esteem by the citizens of the town and Ler death is deeply regretted Besides her husband, she is sur- vived by a son, Robert H., who is em- ployed at the American Paper Goods compan, and a daughter, Mrs. Charles Nichols, of Bridgeport.

The young lady was removed to New Britain and refused to' give any in- formation concerning herself or the accident.

Mangan of New Britain, appeared as counsel for Russell's wife, requesting that the hearing re- garding the acceptance of the con- servator's accounting and her peti- tion to be relieved of responsibility | be postponed until he had a chance | to more fully investigate the condi- tions. The young man’s mother, accord- ing to I. S. Neal, who appeared for her, is under the care of a physician and he has advised her to resign as conservator. Her physical condition makes it inadvisable that she serve in this capacity any longer and Mr, Neal told the court that she believes any- way that her son is now capable of attending to his own business affairs. Russell's wife, from whom he is es- trgnged, was in court with her law- ver. The young man was also present. After the hearing opened, Mr. Neal explained Mrs. Russell's object in presenting the petition. He also filed her accounting wkich showed that she had recelved $4,633 from the estate of the young man’s father since her appointment and but $1,547 re- mained. Mr. Neal told the court that Russell was entitled to two-ninths of his father's estate, which is still in- tact except for the money received from the sale of the cafe and property on which it is located, That has been divided amopng the heirs. Land and buildings comprise a large part of the estate. There are also some stocks and bonds which, he explained, are enhancing in value steadily and for that reason the matter of converting them into cash has been delayed. Judge Mangan said he was appear- ing in the interests of Russell's wife. He had not been retained until last night and as he did not have a chance to investigate the case he would like a pcstponement of the hearing. While he had no objections to the removal of Russell's mother as conservator he would protest against allowing him to take charge of his own affairs Mr. Neal wanted to know if he would be satisfied to have the conservator’s account ac- cepted and have the court relieve her of her duties. Although he said he would not question the correctness of the report he would like to examine it thoroughly before it became a record and he thought the matter of its acceptance should be held up un- til the time of the adjourned hearing. Mr. Neal said it was entirely a mat- ter of bookkecping. Judge Mangan risagreed, calling attention to the fact that there were items to show that Russell had received $400 in cash from the conserviator during a short period. He believed he should be al- lowed to look over the report with some care before anything was done regarding its acceptance. e admit- ted that in all probability he would have mno objection to the court ac- cepting it at the next hearing. If Mrs. Russell was to be removed he thought the Plainville Trust com- pany or some other disinterested par- ty should be named to serve tem- porarily as conservator, pending final disposition of the case. It was finally decided to put off 4 the entire matter until Monday, Jan- uary 17th at 2 o’clock in the after- noon. Mr. Neal explained that there was no disposition either on the part of Russell or his mother to hurry mat- They were satisfied to have the case rest until all concerned were pre- pared to go on with it. Judge Man- gan was also willing to have every- thing done in agreeable fashion and Judge George R. Byington, who pre- sided, adjourned the hearing in ac- cordance with their wishes. Concert Greatly Enjoyed. While the attendance was rather disappointing, the members of the Woman's club had cause for consid- erable satisfaction over the concert given under their auspices last even- ing in the Town hall. The Marigold quartet, appearing under the direction of the Red Path Bureau, of Boston, gave the entertainment. And an en- joyable entertainment it was, too. The audience was greatly pleased with the various numbers and was most generous with its applause. The young ladies are talented musicians and their vocal and instrumental num- bers gave complete satisfaction. They had a diversificd program and every feature was rendered in admirable fashion. The solos, duets, quartete and musical sketches all satisfied and there were many manifestations of the appreciation of the audience. There had been a good sale of course tickets but perhaps, owing to the weather and counter attractions, the attendance last night did not come up to expectations. The next | entertainment will be given on Jan- uary 20th when H. R. Manlove, the man of many faces, will appear. The audience heard last night's concert under difficulties, the atmos. phere in the hall being of a quality that makes mittens highly desirable, Hartford Silk Store THE STORE OF USEFUL Agents for Standard Patterns SELECTED CHRISTMAS MERCHANDISE!

Begins on Abstract. The report of the board of asses- sors was turned over to Town Clerk R. C. Usher last evening and this morning he began the preparation of the abstract. The assessors prac- tically finished their work yesterday, They did not, however, total the a: sessments and consequently were un- able to say today what the grand list will figure. They hope to be in a position to give the total to the voters at the adjourned annual town meeting. They plan to use an adding machine to total the lists beforc the meeting is held. Members of the board do not ex- pect that the figures will show any material change over last year's. But few additions were made and it is said there were a number of reduc- tions in stock and bond assessments. A. N. Clark Seriously T Friends of Allison N. Clark, one of the towns best known citizens, who is ill with pneumonia at his home on Broad street, were much concern- ed today over reports regarding his ¢ondition. Owing to his advanced age and general physical condition at the time he was taken {l], Mr. Clark’s chances for recovery are mot considered very bright. ttending physicians report that he is seriously sick and they do not hold out much hope for him. Mr. Clark’s son, Charles, is now convalescing after an illness of sev eral weeks. He also had pneumonia Fines for Drunks. Sam Nelson of Terryville, and Gus E. Kwall of Hartford, came here yesterday to seek employment at the transfer station in the freight yards. To get up the necessary courage to approach the freight agent, the man took on a cargo of nerve tonic and as a result they staggered aimlessly around the center, forgetting all about the prospective jobs. Shortly before noon Constable Downing received a complaint re garding a drunk who was lying help- lcwsly in the snow near Central Square. The man, who proved to be Kwall, had his face badly cut in fall- ing and blood was flowing profusely from his wounds when the officer picked him up. In the afternoon, responding to another complaint, the constable ar- rested Nelson who was also unable to navigate. The men were arraigned before Justice E. P. Prior last evening and we ¢ each fined $3.and costs. Nelson paid up but Kwall was without funds. He told the court, however, that he owned property in Hartford and could get the wherewithal to settle his indebtedness. Friends came to his rescue this morning and he es- caped a trip to jail. G. A.
