Cole, for the two years ended September 30, 1308, shows that the organized militia of the state at the close of the period consisted of seven staff departments, signal corps, Annual Report of A ljutant Generzal Cole--Third Company Had Drill Early This Week--Acceptances to Ball hospital corps, coast artillery corps, two regiments of infantry, one troop of cavalry, one battery of fleld artil- lery, one separate company of infantry and a naval militia consisting of three line and one artificer divisions.

The report reviews the encampment, fleld operations and practice marches, of the two-year period, and gives fig- ures as to long-service medals issued, pension and bounty claims and re- ceipts and disbursements.

Gould Ever Considerate of ghts and Feelings of Those Under Him. J. Regarding James L. Gould, who died here on Tuesday, the Bridgeport Farm- er id: Mr. Gould was managing editor of this paper from 1866 to 1891, He was a man of high character and great ability. As an employer he was ever considerate of the rights and feelings of those under him, a fact to which the writer, who served as a subordi- nate editor in his employ for nearly 20 years, with never a word of disa- greement, can_testify. As a friend, he was ever loyal; as an editor, he was aggressive, when be- leving himself in the right; but he was never intolerant of the opinions of others. Such men are not over plen- tiful, and the world sustains a dis- tinct loss when one is taken away. Mr. Gould became associated witt The Farmer in 1866, under the desig- nation of Pomeroy, Gould & Co, By the death of Mr. Pomeroy, the firm name became in 1870 Gouid & Stiles, and so continued until January 1, 1891, when Mr. Gould retired because of a malady which bereft him or visio Mr, Gould not only attained distinc- tion as a journalist, but as a lawy: He was five times chosen judge of pro- bate for the Bridgeport district, serv- ing one year terms, as a democrat, in 1860, 1862, 1863, 1865 and 1866, His opinions upon the law commanded the respect of lawyers. His administration of this important office was in the In- terest of the humble and the friend- less. In politics Mr. Gould was a Jeffer- sonlan democrat. His political prin- ciples were absorbed from the teach- ings of the great apostle of the demo- cratic party and modified to meet the changing order of the times. He has been a devoted student of the Masonic institution, embracing in his research its philosophy and sym- bolism and has given special attention to ritualistic matters. As chairman of the committee on rituals in the Grand Chapter, he reported the pres- ent standard work, which was almost unanimously adopted, and which re- ceived the commendations of the lead- ing ritualists of the country, and was subsequently adopted by the general grand chapter of the United States, with but two important differences. He was a_member of Trinity church, this city, from the date of its orean- ization, and was long a member of its vestry. ‘The Bridgeport Standard said: Gonld was very well known in this city and highly respected. He served many terms as judge of the probate court and was also a member of the vestry of the Trinity Episcopal church. He was a very intellectual man and an author. He had written a number of authoritative books on Free Ma- sonry, % Mr. Rose Alley Scores. High single at the Rose alleys at duckpins was rolled Wednesday by Leroy Hill, putting down 117.

NORWICH, Ce PUTTING IN STEEL CEILING. Town Clerk’s and Selectmen’s Offices to Have Attractive Adornment. The work of putting in a steel ceil- ing in the office of Town Clerk Hol- brook was started on Wednesday. The platform was bullt in the morning, but when the carpenters started to pound on the ceiling In the afternoon it so disturbed the court that it was neces- sary to stop work. They can work un- til ‘ten o'clock this morning without interfering with the court, but will probably select some hours when court is not in session to do the work. The new ceiling will be put on over the old one and the electric wires will be placed in iron pipes. When the town clerk's office is fin- ished, work will be started on the selectmen’s office, OBITUARY. Capt. James Ryley. Capt. James Ryley of Mystic, father of Thomas W. Ryley, superintendent of the Groton and Stonington Street Rall- way company, died in the hospital In Philadelphia Tuesday night as the re- sult of Injuries Incurred while attend- ing to his dutles on the tug Pethayres. Captain Ryley was a well known flisure amonz seagoing men in this county and was at one time in com- mand of vessels of the Mallory Lne, He was a native of Mystlc and was born' in June, 1344, the son of Thomas and Lucy Ryley. He is survived by his wife and threa children. The chil- dren are Thomas W. Ryley, Mrs. Thomas Trevena and Mrs. Alexander Taylor. Seven grandchildren and three sisters nlso mourn his_death. The sisters are Mrs. Arthur Maxson and Mrs. Charles Wheeler of Mystic and M Elizabeth Berry of Provi- dence. Charles D. Noyes of this city was a brother-in-law of the deceased. Captaiu Ryley was leaving Philadel. phia for Newburyport with his tug when he noticed that something was wrong with the hawsers. With others of his crew he went to straighten out the difficulty and got fouled with the big ropes. All were injured, the members of the crew Incurring severs injurfes to thefr hands and arms. It was at first believed that Captain Ry- lev had escaned serfous harm, but he soon complained of internal pains and exnired soon after being taken to the hospital in_ Philadelnhia. Cantain Ryley used fo run to Med- fterranean ports and also to Galves- ton. Daniel Clifford, The remains of Daniel Clifford, who died in St. Louis a week ago of pneu- monia, arrived here at 4.40 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon and were taken in charge by Shea & Burke. The de- ceased had been away from here for twenty-two years, and his illness was not known until word came of his death. He was about 65 years of bage and lived here many years, residing on Oneco street, He is survived by three sons, Daniel of Bridgeport, Charles of Hartford and John of this city, and three daughtere,Mrs. Hughes of Gard- ner, Mass., Margaret T. and Annie of this city. Day of Prayer for Colleges. As this is the day of prayer for col- leges throughout the land, there will be a specfal servicé in this interest at Trinity Methodist church this eve- ning. It is open to all who believe in prayer and education, The death of Willlam A. Bedent, a resident of the it Side since boy- ‘hood, occured ldenly at his home, No. 459 Main street just after midnight Wednesday. He had risen from a chair when he was taken with an at- tack of heart failure, and fell to the floor, expiring almost instantly. Since January, a year age, when he had the grip, he had been suffering from heart trouble, ‘The death of Mr. Bedent removes a very familiar character from the part of the cit- formerly known as Pres- ton. Mr. Bedent was born October 17, 1834, the son of Jesse Bedent and Phoebe Hewitt, the old home of the Bedent family being on Shingle point, on the Poquetanuck cove. As a boy he came to live In what is now the annexed district and has lived there ever since. One of the memories of ‘his youth was of riding a horse in the big ‘parade at the celebration in 1859 of the anniversasy of the town of Nor- W He moved from Poquetanuck 1o Norwich before the war broke out and ser for the first city di- 0. It was a whole lot of work, he used to say, to get names in 1861, for many timid women thought he was sent by the United States gov- ernment to find out the able bodied men and draft them for the war. Af- terward he was oclated with The- ophilus A. Chapman, who had a wagon shop in the Bridge district and who served nine years as clerk of the town of Preston. He bullt the Hammond avenue_shops in 1874. 5 Mr. Bedent has been a republican from’ the inception of the party in 1856, when Gen. John C. Fremont was defeated by James Buchanan. Up to 1891 it took much fortitude to be a re- publican in Preston. The town was normally democratic by 150 or more and republicans and republican ticke! were a ridicule and a joke. In 1890 Mr. Bedent and Charles Butler Chapman were elected assessors and the asses- sorship, to which Mr. Chapman ad- mits he was assisted by the popularity and election day efforts of “Bill” Be- dent, paved the way for his election in 1891 as first selectman. He was re- elected every year untll 1895 and in 1897 went to the legislature. The old democratic ring in Preston melted away, little by little, after that. Mr. Bedent wae offerad various offices but never would take one except in 1898, when he was elected committeeman of the Second school disirict after a mem - orable fight. He was the only man that ever overthrew the redoubtable Chester Giles Haskell at the polls. The latter got in again next year and was school committeeman and first select- man until the annexation of 1901 leg- islated him out of office. Mr. Bedent was the last of his jm- mediate family. He was twice mar- ried, his first wife being Marla Bur- dick of Preston, and he was married the second time in 1879 at Groton to Damaris Spicer. She survives him. but ihere are no children. Charles Billin; Chapman is a nephew. In the City Court. On Wednesday morning in the city court the case against C. H. Webster of Willimantic was called. The oity attorney told the court that the com- plainant wished to withdraw the com plaint and the matter was adjusted by the accused paying the costs, $5. The accused claimed it was all a mistake and that he was fully able to meet the obligation. How Gaines Gets What He Wants. Mr. Gaines is somewhat known in Waterbury. He 1s the florid southern gentleman with the plenteous head of hair whom Congressman Lilley brought to Waterbury as one of the speakers at the dinner of the Sons of the American Revolution In 1906. His speech on that occassion possessed many remarkable features. It will be well remembered Dby al] who were present. In the house, for re-election to which he was recenily defeated, Mr. Galnes has had a quicturesque career. He has held a front seat on the democratic side and has spoken frequently. In a recent number of a popular magazine Alfred Henry Lewis told a story of Mr. Galnes’ abillty to get what he went aft- er. Somebody asked President Roose- velt why Mr. Gaines, a man whom he didn't like, could obtain o many presi- dential favors. Sald President Roosevelt: “If a man came to_your office and began to file a saw and kept on filing that saw and you knew he'd go away if he got what he wanted, what would you Jo?"—Wa- terbury American. Sprinter for Governor's Messenger. Governor B. F. Carroll has set a new precedent in making his appointments by seclecting a footracer of promi- nence as his officlal messenger. The messenger _in question is Theodore Bell, trom Sioux City, a colored sprint- er, who can tear off 100 yards in 10 seconds, and who has defeated num- berless crack sprinters with ease. It Governor Carroll wants a politi- clan summoned, his messenger will have the message delivered in half the time required by the ordinary messen- ger. That is why Governor Carroil se- lected him. “This is an age of speed and rapidi- ty,” sald the governor, as he officially removed Colonel William Coalsin, who had been governor's messenger for more than fifteen years and under three governors.—Des Moines despatch to New York World.
