" > ‘Edwin Babcock, the third oldest resi- dent in Westerly, and one of the most prominent citizens, died ~Wednesday morning at his homs, in Elm street, in his 91st year, having been born in Westerly, April 8, 1518 Edwin A. Schofleld is a few months hl- senior, and “Aunt Betsy” Champlin is 92. Mr. Babcock was the son of Rouse 24 and Hannah Brown Babcock. After attending - private schools and emies, with his brother, Horace, he spent several in the service of mercantile houses in the city of New York, acquiring a business experience of great subsequent value. At nearly the same time the brothers decided to return to native Westerly, and in 1843, under the firm name of E. & H. Bab- cok, they purchased the mills and wa- ter power at Potter Hill, previously owned by Thomas W. and Joseph Pot- ter & Co., and. for the next fifteen years carried on an extensive and prof- itable manufacturing business. ‘Then came one of those periods of financial embarrassment against which the best skill and foresight are inade- quate safeguards, and, like thousands of others, the Babcock brothers suc- cumbed to the monetary revulsion. All that remained of their honestly earned wealth was conscientiously handed ov- er to their creditors, by whom it was premptiy accepted as payment in fuall for .an indebtedness of twice its amount. At the end of three years; by the practice of strict ecomomy, they sur- prised their creditors by paying the full amounts, principal and interest, of all old debts and unpaid balances. On_the death of his brother, Rouse, in 1872, Edwin succeeded him as presi- dent of the National Phenix bank, in which he had long been a director. When, in 1961 the National Phenix bank, chartered in 1818 and the sec- ond oldest bank in Westerly, decided to sell its business, the Washington National bank, now the Washington Trust company, mode the best offer .and took over the business of that bank, President Edwin Babcock then became a director in the Washington Trust company made the best offer the time of his death .He was a grand- son of the first president of the Wash- ington bank. instituted in 1800. Mr. Babcock was also a director of the Westerly Savings bank, which became 2. part of the Trust company. wMr. Babcock was for many years secretary and treasurer of the Union Meeting house on Cookey Hill, wh;eh} was purchased by the town of Wester- ly for a site for the present Town hall. 5 in 1845, he married Olivia S. Cady, who was born in Fredericks- burg, W. Va., they took up their resi- dence in the house in Main street now occupied by B. Court Bentley, moving from there to the Nelson Bentley house in Granite street, recently moved and | owned by Dr. John Champlin, and from there to the residence owned by Mr. Babcock in Elm street, and which he | had built 59 years ago. Mr. Babcock was one of the original | shareholders of the Pawcatuck library, and In, 1838-39 was brigade inspector of the state militia for Washington county. In early life Mr. Babcock attended ' Don’t Persecute your Bowels Gt gt cutbaricn snd gurguives. They ace bl GENUINE must bear signature: e Tt Where to Buy in Westarly ROBERT DRYSDALE & CO.

There were reports: Wednesday several children were sick in the Ital- ian quarter of Westerly, where there are cases of diphtheria. No physicians had been called, the parents fearing that they might be quarantined. The matter was brought to the attention of the health authorities and am investi- i gation will result. Health Officer Stan- ton states that there are now four cases of diphtheria and everything that iz possible has been done to prevent the spread of the disease. Insurance ad;ud‘n have not yet compl-ud their work - in connection with the Sunday morning fire. Par- tial settlement has been made with James A. Welch: that is, the insur- ance on some of the buildirgs has been satisfactorily adjusted, while on others the offers of settlement are far from satisfactory to the insured, but effort | is being made to effect an amicable settlement. The loss to the First Baptist church | has been satisfactorily settled, the ad- Jjusters allowing the full amount claim- |ed. The damage to the Town hall | cornice has been adjustéd, but settle- ment for the Dixon house damage is withheld pending the return home of the owner, Willilam Segar. Settlement ‘has been effected for loss sustained by | tenants of the ‘burned buildings. ' Frederick Bowman, | lives in Stillman avenue, with a grand- son aged 16, and whose earnings in a| | mill are the sole support of both, fell down stairg Tuesday evening and was | | seriously injured. He was found at the foot of the stairs in a semi-uncon- scious condition by the grandson, and ! assisted to a more comfortable ‘posi- tion. He was visited by a physician | Wednesday morning and it was ascer- tained that, while he was severely bruised and shaken up, no bones were broken. Suits like that brought a Cella, owner of the buil site of the old City hall, by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company, claiming possession by right of ownership, have been brought ' against other properties nearby in West Broad street. It is ‘said more suits are to follow. Frank L. McGuire of the New Lon- den law firm of Hull, McGuire & Hull, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Tubbs. was in Pawcatuck Wednesda; afternoon, of property located in West Broad street, skirted in the rear by the tracks of the railroad company, demanding possession of the property by right of prior ownership. Of course the demand was rejected in each case, and then notice of suit was served, ordering the parties named to ap; in court and defend their allegwed title to the land. The rafiroad company sues for pos- session and claims ‘as damages the | amount of rentals since the land has been occupied by defendants. As in the Cella case, in which the land in the semi-circle of the abutment | of the bridge over West Broad street, the railroad company-claims the Rich- | mond, Rose and Stahle properties, on the ground that they were included in the original right of way of the com- pany, The rear of the properties en- croach on the regular six rods'right of way, and the company claims to haVe purchased the balance of these properuea to the West Broad street line for embankment purposes. The buildings on the properties in question were there before the rail- road was builtand possession has ne er before been demanded by the rail- road company. The present owners_ be- Heve they have full title to the proper- ties and will make every legal effort to retain possession. There are five distinct suits in con- nection with these properties, two against the Richmonds, and one each They are returnable to the next ses- sion of the superior court for New London county. While coming into the Westerly rail- road station on the 847 t.raln from New London, Wednesday _evening, Richard Morrison fell from the platform of the car on which he was standing, underneath the wheels, which passed over his ieft foot and cut it almost entirely off.

A CIPHER. Norwich, Feb, 15, 1910. CASTELLANES SEEK $i3,600 FROM PRINCESS DE SAGEN. Sue for Back Annuities, Which They Allege Have, Not Been Paid. Paris, Feb. 16.—The Marquis and Marquise de Castellane have instituted suit against the Princess de Sagen for $13,600 back annuities which they al- lege the count and countess, by the marriage settlement, engaged them- selves to pay at the rate of 35,600 a year. This annuity was paid until the Count and Countess de Castellane were divorced, when the countess, who was formerly Miss Anna Gould, refused to contribute further to the support of her former husband’s parents. M. Bonnet argued the case on behalf of the plaintiffs today, and M. Clem- enceau will reply a week from today. A $20,000 THEATER PARTY. Steel Company’s Entertainment for Its Agents. Pittsburg, Feb. 16.—One of the most expensive theater parties perhaps in the history of the country was an- nounced yesterday, when it became known that the Jones & Laughlin Steel company had bought out all the | bor~s in the Grand as well as one hun- drea -first floor seats for Thursday night, when all the sales agents of the company, from coast to coast, will be entertained. It is estimated that the gathering of these employes for this party, as well as the local expenses thereto, will reach $20,000. President B. F. Jones, Jr., and all the officials of the company will head the party. Congressmen and Nepotism. The practice of nepotism by members of congress, the appointment by them of their wives, sons, daughters, “their sisters and theilf cousins and their aunts,” to clerkships and secretary- ships has come to be so universal that it would be unfair to condemn any par- ticular senator or representative on account of it. They are all guilty, or nearly all, except thoses who are weal- | thy and who do not need the money. Of course the custom, or system is shameful; it is a method by which congressmen squeeze out of the na- tional treasury by indirection moneys that they dare not vete to themselves by open and above board appropriation. If the salary of $7,500 @ year be not enough for a congressman, the salary ought to be increased and the country should be saved the disgrace of fore- ing or permitting its representatives to engage in petty pilfering under a miserably false pretense. When a cus- tom evil in itself becomes so well es- tablished that those who practice it are no longer held blamable by public opin- ion, the dezrading effect of the custom nevertheless survives to the corrupting attached | | of persons addicted to it and congress- | men who use the public moneys by one or another expedient, for private ob- Jects of themselves or their families must suffer some debilitation of their moral character.—Columbia, S.
