Occurred Saturday Night at Midnight After Week’s IIl- ness with Pleuro Pneumonia—Distinct Loss Not Only to Norwich But to Entire State—Man of Mnrl:od Although his condition has been se- rious for several days and particularly sn on Saturday, the death of Frank T. Brown, which occurred at his home in Perkins avenue shortly before mid- night, was a shock to his wide eircle of acquaintances not only 1 Norwich but tkroughout the state. ~Saturday af- ternoon his ccndition did not denote any improvement and there were grave'| fears for his resovery, although it was sincely hoped that he would be able to pass the crisis. By his death in his #6tk year Norwich loses without que tion its leading attorney, whose fnflu- ence extended throughout New Eng- land, and he was recognized as one of the ablest lawyers hereabouts. \ i Thurston Brown was born in Norwich Feb. 27, 1853, the son of Francis and Harriet Thurston Brown of East Great Plain. He gained his early educatfon in_ the public schools and at the age of 11 entered the Free Academy. He graduated from there in 1868 at the head of his class. He en- tered Yale university at the age of 16 and graduated in the class of 1872, From 1872 to 1873 he was instructor in Latin, Greek and@ mathematics at the Free Academy, of which he was an alumnus, but thereafter took up law,! having studied in the office of George Pratt, and Jater pursued the same in the office of Hovey & Thayer, the lat- ter being Judge John M. Thaver of the sugreme court of errors. There he aleo came under the influence of the valua- ble instructor, Jeremiah Halsey, w was recognized as one of Norwieh greatest lawyers. He was admitted to the bar Dec. 22, 1878, and later formed a rartnership with his brother, the late HON. FRANK T. BROWN. 0. W. Brown, which continued until the decease of the latter in October, 1886, since which time Mr. Brown had practiced alone. In 1833 Mr. Brown was elected to represent the town of Norwich in the legislature and was appointed a mem- ber of the judftclary committee, on which he was well fitted, and_served with_credit to the town and himself. Mr. Browp never sought political of- fices, preferring that they shculd come to him, and he was always faithtul to his trust, serving honorably end with the best of judgment for his constitu- ents. He was elected corporation counsel in 1891 by the common coun- cil, in which position he has been of inyaluable service to the city. He re- tained the office until 1898 and again in.1906 was elected to the position. In 1908 he was again elected to the office and held the position at the time of his death. By his long service in that position Mr. Brown was probably as well versed as anyone upon the city charter and his advice was always to be relied upon, careful thought wnd justice_characterizing his gecisions. Mr. Brown represented Norwich In the constitutional convention, where iie was an important figure in the carry- ing out of the work. He was appointed a member of the state police commis- sion upon its creatfon and has since been retained as a member and also served upon other state commissions. Governor George T. Lilley recog- nized his abllity as a lawyer and r tained him as his counsel in the sub- marine _investigation last year, in which Mr. Brown gained a national reputation. He was a strong support- er of Governor Lilley and alwa maintatned that Governor Lilley's po- sition regarding the submarine boat | matter was the right one. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Ralljoad company also re- tained him as their counsel, and his advice has been carried out in many matters of magnitude, involving hard legal tangles, and one of these® the suit of McKay vs. the New Haven road, was decided during the week of his illness by the supreme court in his favor. He was also counsel for the Billard interests in the Boston and Maine raiiroad, involving about a third of the capitalization of the road, and as such was eleccted a director of the Boston and Malne rallroad and its al- lled interests. That his prominence as a lawyer has attracted attention is shown by the fact that twice has he been of- fered an appointment as a judge of the superfor court in this state, once by Governor Woodruft and once by Gov- ernor Lilley. Because of his large practice, however, he would not accept suclf appointments, though he fully appreciated the honor done him. Mr. Brown had been particularly success- ful in the practice of his profession, having possessed remarkably good judgment, and this particulariy in in- tricate cases, where his opinion was highly valued. As one lawyer said: “If Mr. Brown’s opinion could be se- cured upon @ hard legal tangle, It could invariably be relied upon.” He built up a large clvil business, and his quick thought and strong. common sense argument, coupled with backing of the sound legal authority whereon he rested his cases, made him a lawyer of power and Influence in all the courts where he practiced. At- tention was paid to him by all, and his standing as an attorney who should be heeded In his arguments was well recognized. In all the courts, from the justice to the supreme court of er- rors, this condition prevalled. It was right and justice which influenced him. He did a large corporation busi- nees, and probably one of the largest cases with which he was identified was that case which followed the vate of the clty of Norwich to take over the Norwich Gas and Electric Light com- pany, Mr. Brown representing the company. Arnother case of great im- portance was McKay vs. the New Haven road, recently decided, while the suit of ‘the board of water com- missioners of New London vs. Robbins & Potter, which is to come before the supreme court here this month, by the plans, and in_ which he was counsel for the defendants, was another case of magnitude. - In banking, educational, industrial organizations his advice was eagerly sought, and he was a member of the corporation and a trustee of the /| Norwich Free Academy, a trustee of the Norwich Savings soclety and the Chelsea Savings bank, a member of the Billard corporation, which has a il authorizing its existence before the legislature, a director of the Hopkins & Allen Arms company, and was a member of the Norwich club. He was a member of the New Lon- don County Bar association, being a member of the grievance committee, and was alos a member of the Bar Library association. Mr. Brown was a thorough student and iooked deep into his cases, being recognized for his ability to an: case quickly and accurately. Re: in manner, he possessed a kind and sympathetic disposition. He was un- ostentatious and numbered his friends on every hand. He could often elec- trify a public meeting by his clear and concise presentation of facts and sel- dom failed to carry the meeting on the side of common sense and good judgment. His services have been much in Jemand for the past few years and much of his time has been spent on out of town matters. He was frank and open in his statements and out- spoken upon his convictions. There was_a determination and persistence in all his work. He possessed a genial and fovial way, yet he was swayed by dignity ana justice. By his death Norwich loses one of its leading citizens who evar guarded its welfare and warked for its uplift. He was in every way an exemplary citizen whose life and work will stand as a lasting monument to his memory, Particularly sad 18 his taking away at the time when he had worked up the height of his fame and with such bright prospects ahead, and his family has the sympathy of a bereaved com- munity. On Aug. 5, 1885, he married Isabel C. Geer, daughter of George and Eliza- beth’ Mitchell Geer of this eity, by whom he is survived; together with two daughters Miss Faith E. Brown and Miss Katherine Brown. He also leaves a brother, Charles S. Brown, of East Grest Plain, DECISIONS HANDED DOWN BY JUDGE WHEELER. Salter Appeal Denied and Mrs. Heath Given Alimony. On Saturday Judge Ralph Wheeler handed down a decision in tre case of Salter’s appeal from the county com- missioners denying Salter's appeal fora roversal of the commissioners’ cision, In giving his decision Judge Wheeler says that it did not appear in the course of the trial that the com- ! missioners had acted unreasonably or overstepped the limits of their power. The full memorandum of decision a handed down by Judge Wheeler t Clerk Parsons of the superior cour follows: “The place is sultable for & license to a well established hotel, and twe such hotels would not be too many ir the locality. The county commission- ers appear to have found and held the applicant unsuitable to receive a li- cense. “The court, upon: appeal, can and ought to set aside the acts of the com- m. oners for any unlawful conduct in the exercise of their powers, but not otherwis3. It does not appear upon the trial that the commissioacrs acted un- justly or arbitrarily or unreasonably, or that their action was beyond the limits of their powers. “Upon th: whole evidence before the court it i3 found that the applicant i¢ an unsuitable person to be Ili sed Judgment is rendered dismissing the appeal, with cnsts to be taxed in favor of the defendant.” The Heath non-support .case, one of the most Interesting actions of the term of the recent civil superior court session, has been decided by Judge Wheeler, who on Saturday filed a de- eision with Clerk Parsons In favor of the plaintiff. The case was Mrs. Besst A. Heath vs, Charles H. Heath, Mrs. Heath sulpg Heath for aimony, clatm- ing she had been brutally treateg and almost starved while living with him as his wife, The material issues are decided in favor of Mrs. Heath. Heath is ordered %o pay his wife $20 & month from the date she instituted suit, which was April 1907, execution to issue monthly on the 16th of each month after date of judgment for the payment of amount then unpaid. Heath {3 also ordered to pay the costs of his wife's suit. The defendant Mr. Heath, fs bound to plaintiff, Mrs. Heath, for $2,000, sufficient surety to previde such Judgment. Attorney A. A. Browning represented the plaintiff. Middletown—Rev. P. J. McGivney, pastor of St. Francis’ church, 4s in New York and today (Saturday) will sail for Europe.

The dangers to which the medern eve 18 exposed fall into two great classes —disease and overuse from near work. Here another great consoling faet faces us, and that is that while overwork and consequent eye strain are by far the commonest troubles that befall the modern eye, discomfert and Ineficiency are as far as they go in 99 cases out of 100. It is a fact that 99 9-10 per cent. of all blindness is fue to disease and not to overwork. More significant yet, seven-tenths of the diseases which produce blindness are the acute infections, against which civilization wages an unceasing and victorious conflict.—Woman's Home Compaaion.

Dan Murphy' tel'Hflc clouting of the ball in the first two games played by the Athletic has waked up the Phila- delphia fans to the value of such a batter to a team. A Philadelphia pa- per dellvered the following after the first game, in which Dan registered four hits out of five times up: Danny Murphy has been one of the mainstays of the Athletics ever since he joined Connie Mack's team seven years ago. He ne of the best ball players the game has ever produced. Whien Murphy is not In the lineup the Athletics are mlfl‘ weakened, Men like Murphy, Collins and Baker, for instance, are a tower of strength to any team, who cannot well be sphred in even & single game during a Sea- son. The small scores made by the Ath- letics in the exhibition os _down south this spring were largely due to Murphy's enforced absence from the team. Murphy was likewise missed by his team in the recent local spring se- ries, as were Collins and Baker. Murphy showed how valuable he is to his team by the way he played and braced up the Athletice in the open- ing champlonship game. Although d prived of the benefit of batting prac- tice, he only having a few days of it in the south on account of Anjuring his ankle on the fourth day after the Ath- letics' arrival at New Orleans, Murphy demonstrated in the opening game, as he had so often done before, that he 18 a born hitter by the way he clouted the ball. . Murphy Hammered the Ball. In his five trips to the plate Murphy secured two singles and two doubles. Whether Danny would have made a clean score of five hits if he had not been unfortunate in his fourth jour- new to the plate will never be kriown.
