Mrs:. William C. Whaley. The many friends of Mrs, Elizabeth M. Whaley of Boston were deeply grieved to hear of her death, which oc- curred at her home in Boston on Sun- day, August 13. Mrs. Whaley was ill but a few days and the end came sud- denly and was a severe shock to all The immediate cause of her death was heart tréuble. Mrs. Whaley was born in Norwich, her maiden name being Elizabeth M. Marshall, and she was married to Wil- liam C. Whaley in her native city. Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Whaley moved to the west, where they lived for about seven years, after which they moved to Boston and have since resided in that city. Mrs. Whaley was the possessor of a kind heart and loving disposition, the spiri¢ of self-sacrifice manifesting it- self in her life consantly. Her sudden death takes away a loving daughter and a fond wife and mother. She is survived by three children, Harold M., Gladys L. and Mrs. Marion Treeto, and a grandchild, Miss Ethel Treeto. 'She is also survived by. her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George B. Marshall, for- merly of this city. The funeral services were held at Mt.

This was Williams' first defeat and it was disheartening, as it not only broke his winning streak but it sets him back badly in the fight for the championship, and he, without any games lost, was looked to o give Clack a rub for the finish. ¥rom the present outlook Clark picked to win, though with the uncar- tainties of reque there are chances for many things ta happen to keep him from it. Should he lose a ¢ there ‘would then be a tle with sworth and Williams for hims to g2t awey from. Clark has four games to plav, it being necessary for him to mest Webb, Williams, Kirk and Robinso: He is playing a very strong game th! vear. Cox played three more games on Thursday and won all three of them, though Robinson caught him nappiag and, nearly spolled his game. The champion has shown that he has not forgotten the fine points of the/ game CHARLEY JACOBUS ‘Who Defeated Ex-champion Williams. and is always an interesting plaver : watch. On Thursday- afternoon in his game with Robinson, which he was winning without any trouble, he had gone through his last arch when n=2 lost control of the balls, and Robinson then sat out to do all the damage he could. He worked both balls around to the cage on the return, but at thar time Cox regained the balls and quick- 1y _put the game beyond recall. ‘When Willlams entered the court to play Jacobus it was generally agreed that another defeat would be registered to Jacobus, who had heen losing stead- ily during the day. It proved a lon drawn out game, however, with W liams playing careless. so much so that Jacobus got his blood warmed up ar-l went in to win. He tiad Willlams up so that he was unable to hit and by consistent playing_ such as, the profes- sor is capable of he made the fina} arch and hit the stake with a crowd gathered about the court witnessing the unexpect2d. Professor Jacobus was then, in the midst of a big ovation, grasped by sturdy arms and borne on the shoulders of three of the first di- vision players whose chances he had helped to the steps of the clubhouse. It was the big event of the day. ‘Champion Bosworth took three games during the day by defeating Felton, Jacobus and Edmunds. Thisébrings him into second place because of Williams® defeat. In Second Division. Whitaker has taken thé lead in the second division, having won seven and lost but one game. He is plavin- a careful and consistent game and looks as it he would carry off the honors there this year. Burns, who led Wed- nesday night, lost his first game on Thursday to Stockwell, which was one of the surprises of the day. This put Whitaker in the lead, although the young Meriden player is close after him, and it will be a battle royal when they meet, as they must.today or Sat- urday. For a new player Burns is showing. much form, while Thompson of Danbury is also putting up a clev. game which is 1#ble to land him near the top. Third Division. It was expected that a number of players would show ‘up for this di- vision, but they failed at the last mo- ment, and but Symington and Yonk:r remained. They. have played four games and Symington took three of them. He has won fiyst place and been given the medal, while Yonker gets the silver medal for second position. Van Wickle Games. On Thursday evening the games on the first division courts were for the Van Wickle medals. - For the first medal King and Webb were plaging and the result of Wednesday night was reversed King getting both games S0 that each has now won two zames and two. more games at least will be reuired to get the medal. King was in great form, having gotten back in- to his usual ‘gait and nothing could get away from him. Single ball car- oms, arches from hard angles and long shots were his specialties. He took the first game of the evening and the contest by making numerous arches from hard angles, which caught the crowd and he received much applause. In the second game King won out affer it was thought Webb had got the” game -cinchdd. Webb went around for a rover, and his second ball was for the caze on the return when King got possession of the balls on a coram” with but one ball. He then started a run of the grounds and made it successfully. Webb was tied up so he could not get another start and King opened up wn another run which he successfully executed and took the game amidst applause. But one game for the second Van Wickle medal was played. WhitaKer took this handily, making the third he had won. Crowell had an excel- lent opportunity to pull this game out of the fire after Whitaker had made a fluke in going out at the stake, Crowell had a rover and his second ball was for the cage on the feturn when itaker made his last arch. He was some distance from the stake but tried to cut it on the side so the first ball would not bound back in front of his second one; with the result that he missed. Crowell hit and made the cage by a pretty shot. Getting In excellent position for the side arch he stuck fo the arch. As Whitaked had not been ‘tied up he and was not long in hitting the stake. They started an ' exhibition game thereafter but did net finish it Band Concert. Tubbs’ military band was in attend- ance at the grounds on Thursday eve- ning when the largest crowd of ‘the week was present.

These arches, he said, are much more difficult than those on the present court, and when placed in the first dlyision courts the home runs which are being continually made will be ended. At present many. of the arches are made on what is called force shots, which spring the arch, allowing the ball to get by. The arches which have been given whd nccepted are heavier than these used here and are set in lugs in iron plates, THese plates are placed in the ground snd cement is poured around them so that there lg a solid founda- tion.and a very firm arch.

EVIDENCE FINISHED IN ¢ CONDEMNATION "HEARING. ikt Saita Arguments Will Be Made on Tuesday Morning—J. R, Palmer Leased Land to City. At the resumption of the cortdemna- tion procezdings Thursday morning Mark H. Spalding ' was recalled for cross examination. He valued the land only for its possibilities for a water supply. 3 Raymond Palmer was called and testified to the amount the farm pro- duces each year. He said that the city had damaged it by going on there, tearing down walls and using the land for the constructign of the reservoir. without authority. He was shown 2 lease of the land to the city for the purpose of allowing the work on the reservoir to advdnce, and admitted that he had signed it. The lease ai- lows the city to go ahead with ats work on thé land until the purchase price is determined, the city to pay $30 2 month. Each month My. Palmer has been offered the agreed amount, but he has refused to accept it. Attorney Fanning called Orrin Lef- kngwell in rebuttal and he testized that he sold his grist mill and land for $1,600° in 1897. It was testixed LY Charles Johnson that he sold a_far adjoining the Palmer place for $2.850. Albert Carpenter was called " to testify to the vaiue of the buildines. He said the house is worth now $1,341 and the barn $656. A new house lil~ would cost $1,721 and a new barn $927. Woodbury O. Rogers was called to testify about the purchase of 100 acres of 1and for reservoir purposes in Gris- wold, but he was not allowed to state the amount paid, as it is not near tic property in question. D. D. Home of Montville/ a seleai- man, testified that the Segal farm of 180 acres_ the land being of various kinds, was sold recently for $3,000 by statement of the administrator of ne estate. It runs to within a half mit of the Palmer farm, and the Trading Cove brook is on_the farm, whera there is possibilities that a reservoir could be_established. © This completed the evidence, wita the exception of the title of the prop- erty. Attorney Fanning stated that the city seeks to condemn what it does not aiready own and it does not want to pay twice for any of the land. He read the will of Elisha Palmer, pro- bated Aus. 9, 1879, to which there wure but two witnesses. He said there was no record of distribution of the estate. By the will the life use want ta th wife. who died in 1897. Mrs. Giddin a daughter, secured possession by tak- ing it. She has an order purporting tn be one of distribution, but it is not signed. Tt is clajmed that there are others interested in the property and that W. H. Palmer claims an_ interest tHerein. Several papers were laid in. includins deeds and a copy of the will. Tt was nagreed that the arguments wonld be heard Tuesday mornine at 10 o'clock. OPPOSED TO USING STATE POLICE AT STRIKE. Socialists Will Send Copy of Resolu- tions to State Attarney and Superin- tendent Egan. Two resolutions of importance were passed on Thursday evening at the regular meeting of the Norwich so- cialist. party in their roooms in the Stead building, the first recording it: opposition _to in labor disputes, and the second en- dorsing a government old age pension | bill. The first resolution was based on a report that District Attorney Hadlal A. Hull has requested the state police to interfere in certain labor disputes alleged to exist at Colchester and Turnerville. The language of ‘the res- olution stated that the Norwich local was-opposed to the use of state police | in such dicputes, between employers and employes as a means of intimidat- ing and as an opening wedge to the employment of mounted Cossacks such as disgrace the state of Pennsylvania to overawe workmen who are striking for better conditions. It was voted to send copies of the resolution to Supt. an of the state police and to Attor- néy Hull The second resolution took favoring notice of an old age pension bill intro- duced by Congressman Victor L. ger of Wisconsin, which proyides un- der certain vonditions for a suitable government allowance to those mem- bers of the working class who have reached the age of 60.
