He had just finished reading an exciting account of the hand to hand fight in the cap- ture of a fort, when he paused. “There is one more chapter that I want to read to-you,” he sald, and had proceeded but & few sentences in the reading, when he #oenad and fell to the floor, punni-m ithin a few min- utes without ing consciousness.

Brown was also summoned by telephone, but as he had retired, he sent word to Dr. George R. Harris, deputy for the town of Preston, who arrived within twenty minutes from the time Mr. Cobleigh was stricken, which was at 9.50 p. m. Dr. Harris gave permission to Church & Allen to their undertaking rooms, while word was sent to his family on Hamilton avenue, East Slde, Edwin Spalding in- forming them of the sad occurrence. Dr. Harrls, who has been his family physician, stated that Mr. Coblejgh, who was one of the best known rail- road engineers of the city, had suffered with heart trouble for a number of years past. Several of those who were in the room stfted that during the reading Mr .Coblelgh gave signs of being in distress, passing his right hand over towards his heart several times, and also faltering somewhat in his voice, but he made no complaint, as he was interested to complete the reading he had_planged to give. The tragic death of their comrade sent the post members away with sad- dened hearts, and many expressions of sympathy were made for his family. For the past two years Mr. Cobliegh had been Yetffed from active service as an engineer upon the Norwich and Worcester railroad, and in that fime he had_been a frequent caller and famil- farfigure at the post home, where he a'.ilgmoaufiumm— sirueel *61 to '65.

After the war he returned to Wor- cester, making a home there for his mother, who was then a widow. He became a fireman upon the Norwich and Worcester railroad, and after a few years was promoted to an engi- neer’'s berth, serving the road contin- uously for forty-two years. Two year: ago he had a leg broken in an acci- dent in Greenevllle, and after that ap- plled for and obtained retirement with a pension, In 1878 In this_ city he was united in marriage by Rev.

Capt jor L. M CITIZENS' MEETING ON DAVENPORT ARMS CO. Corditiors of the Company Explained With View to Ralsing $100,000 New Capital—Committes of Five Ap- pointed. There was a citizens’ meeting in tha town hall on Friday evening, called for the purpose of acquainting them with the situation at the Davenport Fire- arms company and with the idea of securing $100,000 of preferred stock subscriptions. Tne factory has been practically closed for several weeks and a committee from the company and one from the Board of Trade have been at work with the view to getting the plant in operation again, and it was their plan which the citizens were called to- gether te hear. William B. Young called the maeting to order and Mayor Lippitt was chosen chairman and called upon the commit- tee for a presentation of the facts, which was made by James L. Case,who expiained that the company -had re- duced its capital stock from $200,000 to $100,000 and then authorized the issuance of $100,000 seven per cent. preferred stock. Three new directors have been elected, but no officers have been chusen. He explained that the amcunt was necessary to save the com- pany and read a balance sheet showing the ‘liabilities and assets. Banks en@ creditors have agreed to take notes for their claims, while there are bond pay ments due. Mr, Musgrave, an expert accountant, who ‘has been over the books, stated that there were live and quick assets more than enough to take care of the floating liabilities and after charging off the $100,000 there is an equity there. Mr. Case explained the cost of manufacture of 170 guns, which is about one-third the capacitv of the factory a day, and gave the profit on that as $116 & day Mayor Lippitt urged the necessity af a strenuous effort to retain this con- cern and said it should be the object of the Board of Trade and.citizens to keep here & valuable concern of which some- thing is known. The history of the citv is remarkable when 'it is consiu~ ered that some of the best manufa tories of Springfield and Worcester had their start here and were allowed to go awzy. He referred to the large amount of wages the company paid yeariy and asked Mr. lup to present tnem. H. H. Gallup referred to the build- ing of the elevator building in 1868 at a cost of $110,000 and later its aban- donment, ‘several small businesses starting ‘there but doins nothing until 1591, when the Norwich Belt Manu- factring company took hold of it. In the same year W. H. breught cut a new shotgun and a com- pany with $12,000 capital was organ- ized to make it and the top flcor of tne building leased. It spread untii tne Arms company wanted the whole building and the Ansel Clark building pany moved. Sinc company has ey bullding and the Ansel Cleak buflding and its whart privile of its rapidly growing business, as it seemed proper to expand and develor. In the six months of 1891 the com- rary paid In wages $6.291, and the fol- lowing amounts have been «n ly since: 1893, $24 1894, $1 1891 $17,14 888: 1897, 1898, 3 $65,284; 1901, $146,219, 1902, ' $145.981 $186,729; 1904, $153,947. 190 1906, $114,929; 1907, $157.602 $73,124.

In 1904 there came ‘a break in the irice of guns and the profits wers very mall, while In 1907 they wera sligh*ly restored, but the panic followed, but now the market 8 about back to its normal basis. There are quite a num. ber of guns on hand now. The panic was the reason for the present condi- tion. The company s solvent, but nnt in a position to do business. The oom- pany has a line of goods equal if not srperior to any in the country and they can be marketed as fast as made, Mr. Gallup being enthusiastic over the fu- ture. There were several who spoke mm the matter of the stock issue, among whom were E. A, Tracy, who recognized thc 1 ecessity of retaining the company hut flmllfhl these who put their money in should have some assurance that it would be used tor furthering ¢he bus!- ness and not to pay off the existing debts. He thought the creditors migh: take their claims in second preferred about one-seventieth stock. He urgad the necessity of keer- ing the company gaing. Drn Caseidy spoke along the same Davenport | Eato it was wanted here, but the idea is to get the proper security for the prefer- rea stock. Mr. Bard inspired the me t- ing with confidence that all would come out right and felt sue that Nor- wich men were ready to contribute. It was finally decided that it would be left to a committee of five to be so- lected by the chair and the other com- mitteemen who had been at work on the matter and they are to report next Wednesday night. The committee of five named are as follows: F. 8. Jerome, F. W. Car Otto E. Wulf, T. C. Murphy and Charles Bard.
