Mr. Higgins will be appointed chairman of the committee on_expenditures in the department of agriculture, the duties of which position he performed during the last session ‘as acting chairman, Mr. Hill will be named as chairman of the committee on Expenditures in the treasury” department. It is expected that the meémbers will be reappointed to the other committee positions they held in the last con- Bress, except that Mr. Higgins will retire from the committee on terri- tories. Mr. Hill has already been nagmed a number of the ways and means committee. Mr. Henry will quite likely be placed upon the committee of patents, and merchant marine and fisheries.

It is expected that the speaker will give out the names of the committees just before the hour set for adjourn- ment is reached. SECOND GROTON VICTIM OF PTOMAINE POISONING. John Blifford of New York Died on Thursday—Others Who Ate Lobster Are Not Yet Out of Danger. Lobsters eaten last Friday claimed another Groton victim Thursday in the person of John Blifford, who died at the home of Horace M. Newbury at Eastern Point Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

'He had been growing stead- ily worse all day. Dr. Hewes was in attendance the greater part of the day. The lobsters which caused Captain Newbury’s death last Saturday and Mr. Blifford’s death Thursday were pur- chased locally.

Those who ate of the lobsters were Captain Newbury, Jonn Blifford, Mrs. Bradford, William Ma- son, Martha Blifford and Miss Sarah Noone, and some children of the house The lobsters were eaten on Friday, Captain Newbury succumbed Saturday, about twenty-four hours after eating them. Blifford’s death makes victim number two. The others who partook of the lob- sters are improved, but they are not vet considered out of danger. Blifford’s home is in New York. He was about 28 years of age. HEROIC PASTOR WAS AN ATHLETE. ner ci Champion Mile unner in Yal of '85, Rev. Herbert L.

SUDDEN DEATH OF RETIRED GROTON MARINER Capt. John H. Williams Was Native of Norwich—In Coasting Trade and Whaling. Capt. John H. Williams, retired mariner, passed suddenly at his home in Fairview avenue, Groton, on Wed- nesday. Although Captain Willlams had been ailing for a long time, it was not thought his iliness would prove fatal. The immediate cause of death was heart failure. Eighty-seven years of age, his long career at sea and ashore is_proof that strenuous work, such as the seafaring men of his age were accustomed to, does not curtail the allotted span of life. Captain Williams was & Norwich man, being born in that city in 1822, son of Moses Williams. When only 11 vears of age he had commenced life in earnest, being then at work on a coasting schooner running between Norwich and Hartford mainly. For a few years his family removed from Norwich to Bethel, N. Y.; returning againg to Norwich. Intermittently Cap” tain Willlams followed the sea and did some farming. In the earlier days of steamboating he took part and also bhad one very memorable cruise in northern waters whaling. This cruise ended disastrously for him, and he spent a long périod afterward in a hospital in the Sandwich Islands. He was of an admirable disposition, free hearted and generous to a_de- gree. In recent months he has been seen but little in the borough, his health not permitting him to go far from home. He married Emily Hewitt in 1848, his wife surviving him. One daughter, Mrs. Vail, ‘also survives. In 1884 Captain Williams located on a farm near Gales Ferry, afterwards taking up _residence in the house where he died. He was a member of Somerset lodge, A. F. and A. M., and was also a member of Jibboom club No. 1, of New London. : SCHOONER ELVIRA BALL DRIFTS INTO FAYAL. Mystic Vessel Expected ’Elnk in Home Port in About 20' Days. The five masted schooner, Elvira Ball, owned by the Gilbert Transpor- tation company of Mystic, which was abandoned last February off Cape Henry, has just drifted into the mouth of the harbor of Fayal, Western Is- lands, and -ias been towed into that port. The vessel, without crew or guiding hand at her wheel, has practically ac- complished her own salvage, after six months, during which her owners had sought vainly for her over the ocean. Upon receipt of the information, the Gilbert company made arrangements for the ocean going tug M. F. Lucken- bach to proceed to Fayal and bring back the wandering schooner, and it is expected that in about 20 days she will be safe and sound in the com- pany’s yards at Mystic. The schooner was valued at $70,000, and insured for only $40,000. REBEKAHS’' OUTING. Lodges in This District Have Merry Time at Richards’ Grove. Rebekah lodges in this district, in- cluding_Hope lodge of Norwich, Home lodge, No. 50, of Groton, Osprey and Orient lodges of -New London and Ruthie lodge of Jewett City, held their annual outing Thursday at Richards’ grove. At noon, when the chowder was served, there was a large number present. Threatening weather had 1it- tle effect on the enthusiasm and the programme of sports and games laid down was adhered to. The chowder disappeared magically, Mr. ana Mrs. Hassum, proprietors of the grove, who are members of Home lodge, being complimented on the excellence of their cuisine.

Governor Weeks of Connecticut ap- pears to have acted the part of a con- servative executive in vetoing the board of pardons bill. That proposed to make an affirmative vote of five- sixths of the board sufficient for granting a pardon, instead of a unan imous vote, as at present. The gov ernor argues that as the rights of an individual before conviction are pro- tected by the requirement that the 12 men of a jury must agree with respect to his guilt, so the state should be protected by an equal unanimity of judgment on the part of those whose duty it is to pass on grounds of clem- ency, and that the proposed bill “is but the first step on the wrong road, letting down the bars to further in vasion of the security of the state. Boards of pardon are supposedly made up of men amenable to reason and judges of evidence, and unhampered by the obstinate twelfth juryman. Moreover, their natural tendency is toward the side of mercy. A prisoner usually has conditions largely in his favor, and it is not too much to ask that he shall satisty all whose duty it is to pass upon his petition.—Boston Transeript. .

Case Named Truste Acting for the Thames Loan & Trust Co. the law firm of Brown & Perkins foreclosed on the property of the Davenport Fire Arms company, and on Wednesday the compand made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors to James L. Case as trustee. The Thames Loan & Trust Co. is trus- tee for the bondholders, who bought $100,000 worth of bonds offered to the public in 1907, and secured by a mort- gage on the plant. The assignment is not unexpected, as efforts have been under way for some time, through public meetings and subscriptions, to raise sufficient money to carry on the busines® Not enough money was raised to assuréthe company starting. The assignment saves the company from going through bankruptey proceedings in the United States court. A hearing will be held on the matter of the petition in a few days in the probate court, when the trustee will probably be confirmed. By all interested it is hoped somes thiig may turn up to save tbe com- pany from going to pieces. It has been a valued industry here, employ- ing over 300 men when running full, but the shop has been closed since early last spring. The W. H. Davenport Firearms Co. was incorporated in June, 1891, with a capitan of $12.000. Under the man- agement of -William H. Davenport, identified with the gun business since 1848, it thrived. Since his death, four years ago, the business has not been S0 prosperous. For more than twenty years Mr. Davenport was ably assist- ed in the manufacture by his son, W ton C. Davenport, as superintendent. In the growth of the company it was capitalized at $200,000, but this was later reduced to $100,000. In 1907 bonds to the amount of $100,000 were issued and the plant mortgaged to se- cure thme, the Thames Loan & Trust Co. being made trustee for the bond- holders under the mortgage. There was an agreement to pay off $10,000 of the bonds each year, but the busi- niess did mot succeed well enough to allow any payments Being made. ‘The officers of the company are: President and treasurer. Henry H. Gallup; vice president, Gardiner Hall of Willington: secretary and general ! manager, Walton C. Davenport. On Being a Progressive City. Yesterday's fire was a pactical warning by way of demonstration of what a fire can do among the lightly built three-story tenement houses with their garniture of balconies and plaz- zas. The fire department is credited with having been extremely efficient, vet less than an hour was required tc consume one of these houses, to wreck two and to damage more or less a doz- en or so more. An outbreak of fire in the night, a higher wind or one in a different direction, an unavoidable de- lay in giving an alarm, an accident to some plece of fire apparatus, any one of a thousand contingencies, might easily operate to cause greater disaster where conditions are so well prepared for disaster as they are in many sec- tions of this city.” If next time the result is even less fortunate there will be no occasion for surprise. New Bedford is talking much about growing to be a great city, but it is going on with methods of building which scarcely ought to be tolerated in a small city. There are prices which have to be pald for municipal growth, and one of them reiates to the con- struction of buildings. This can be paid by highly inflammable construc- tion and occasional disastrous fires or by better construction with compara- tive immunity. Our impression is that though the initial cost of the latter is the greater, it is the cheaper in the e At any rate, larger progressive citie act on that principle mostly as the result_of their own costly experience. New Bedford will have to come to it sooner or later.

Nothing in the history of medicine | has ever approached the success of the marvelous skin remedy known as poslam, which, it is safe to say, has ‘cured more cases of ec: and skin diseases than any rems ever offered for these ili The success of poslam is not at all surprising when it is considered that even a very small quantity applied to the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, s well as acne, herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch, yield to it readily. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear almost immediately when posiam is applied, the complexion be- cleared over night.
