The hearing was for the purpose of con- firming or rejecting John A. Moran as temporary receiver. Attorney C. V. James, appearing for the petitioners, stated to the court that 2 meeting of the creditors had Dbeen held and that they desired to be heard through attorneys. The reporé from the creditors, of ‘Whom @ nymber Wwere in court, having just come from the meeting that they had Deen holding, was presented by Attorney Allyn L. Brown, who stated that about $85,000 of the claims against the company had been represented at the meeting, and that they had taken §oiote Ipon the confirmation of Mr. Tan as received and that it showed that those favoring him as receiver Tepresented $43,116.51 of the claims amd those opposed $42,807.71.

The funeral of Isaac E. Palmer Wi held &t the family home in Middletown Tuesday afternoon at 3 oclock. Rev. J. P. Faucon, curate of the Church of the Holy Trinity, officiated. The bearers were selected from those who were closely associated with Mr. Pal- mer in_business. The body was placed in thé family vault in Indian Hill cemetery. Dr. John E. Loveland Sunday ev- ening reported to Coroner Stephen B. Davis the facts concerning the death of Mr. Falmer, who was a native of Montville and ‘Who committed suicide at his Arawana factory Saturday. The géneral impression was that Mr. Palmer shot himself He, however, cnded his life by hanging. Mr. Pal- mer was last seen alive in the.factory by the watchman on the top floor of the hammock factory. This was about 10:30 in the morning. 'Mr. Pal- mer asked the watchman what hours he came through the factory and the man repiled: “Once an hou Mr. Palmeér was found hanging in that room about 1:30, the discovery being made by Townsend Palmer, who missed him from the house and office. Townsend -Palmer stated to Dr. Loveland that this father had been subject to periodical mental depres- eion. Of late he had been greatly de- pressed in mind and apparently with- out reason. Corener Stephen B. Davis stated that in view of the medical exam- iner's report, which showed that there were no suspicious circumstances connection with the death he woul not hold an inquest. Many who knew Mr. Palmer in- timately state that ®ad been acting strangely eof late: ‘hroughout his life ‘he confined elf closely to business and became absorbed in it. One of his closest friends said: “Mr. Palmer was a great inventor. He was a genius and the older he grew the more eccentric he became as men of genius do.” Miss Clara Elizabeth Armour From the funeral parlors of Church and Allen on Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the funeral of Miss Clara Ellz- abeth Armour, the 16 year old daugh- ter of Mrs. Leonora Armour of 39 Cedar street was hled.

About $30,000 would need to be spent in carrying on the work and the cred- itors he represented thought they ought to have a practical man for receiver. According to the treasurer of the com- pany, its debts he sald were about 392,000 and its net assets 344000, so that it seomed théy would suffer 2 50 per cant. loss anyway. Attorney James said that his side of the case ha dconsidered that the re- ceiver would be cailed upon to act more in an _administrative _capacity and that they assumed that he would employ Mr. Fenton to carry out the contracts to completion and that they thought there would be.I expense if a new man were introduced to the work already under way ‘than if it were carried on through Mr.. Moran as receiver. Judge Shumway inquired 1f Mr. Jforan had been carrying on the work since he had been appointed tempo- rary receiver and was informed that he had beer: doing so. The judge con- firmed the appointment of Mr. Moran and Attorney James Dresented the bond of $10,000 for approval. Attorney Shipman contended that the bond was not large enough in view of the large amount of mohey that would pass through the receivers bands, and the judge ordered that the bond be made $20,000, meanwhile ap- proving thé $10,000 bond that had been offerea. This concluded the business of the hearing. and court hdjourned.

Horses were taken @5 well and the owners were. paid in full, sometimes even receiving imore than they had vaiued théir animals at. In Dr. Cassidy’s opinion there was not a regular British regiment left in England on the 5th of August. The movements of the regiments were car- ried on very quietly and without any disturbance except to travelers on the railroad. Train service was very un- reliable and ofttimes traing would be held up for hours at a timeé.

This camp meeting serves the Meth. odist people of the extreme eastern section of Maine reaching as for west as_the ity of ‘Ellsworth. The preaching was done by the Methodist pastors of the patronizing teritory and a few others of wider reputation. Among the speakers weresthe fol- lowing, known in the vicinity of Nor- wich among the Bulletin's readers. Mrs, Emma Harrison, mother of Rev. C. Wilson Harrison so recently pastor at Gales Ferry, who is caring now for the church at West Tremont, Maine, was present during the entire meetiig and besidés Dreaching = helpful sermon Wwas of service in magy ways to the association. ‘Rev. Clinton E. Bromley, B. D., gave his series of Biblical lectures on Job and Ecclesiastes and these have Te- ceived many expressions o, approval. Rev. Georsée O Ricl , @ for- mer pastor at West Willington, Conn., and also at Windsorville, Conn., now at Nillbridge, Me., inspired the work by his presence and effort. One of the speakers from outside, who has visited most of the camp meetings in New England ventured the following opinion to the Bulletin's representative. He named the Willi- mantic and the Plainviile meet- ings as the two real meetings of New England, but granted that the. Jacksonville camp meeting was easily the peer of anything in the state of Matne. ) i — OBITUARY. s Frank Andrews Webb, On Tuesday word was received hers of the death ofsFrank Andrews Webb, which eccurred in Rochester, N. Y., Tuesday morning following an iliness of about five weeks due to cirrhosis of the liver. Mr. Webb fermerly resided in Norwich and was at one time em- ployed in the shipping Toom of the old C.

However, it was rumored that 1,600 wounded are expected to arrive in London from the front and this rumer was hearq before there was any knowls whatever that the English had been in battle. The English army was ideng | mobilized by noon of August 3. There is no knowledge except to tiie aus thorities, of the whereabouts of the major part of the English army. Retail Prices ed by Council, The wholesalers au;:& prices in food and the cantrolling the egg market hoosted eggs & shilling (about 25 cents) a dozen- Orders in council were given out fixing a stated price for all provisions sold at retail. Some of the more elaborate hotels raised prices in food considerably, but the majority made but slight advance in prices. “England,” saiq Dr. Cassidy, “was ot unprepared for war, and there is no lack of enthusiasm. 'It is a fight to the end, but rather a it of prin- ciple than aggression. Men are en- listing in the ermy and the reservists expect to be called out at any time. Kitchener is quoted as saylng that the war will last thrée years. FHis regu- lars are at the front and the territo- rials are to form the nucleus of the first reserves. A new regular army is being organized for the duration of the war. This army is to be @rilled for a period of six months befors. it 4will be sent forth for active service. Lord Kitchener says that the least time, that any who enlist may expect to serve is 18 months. There is hard- 1y an open spot in the cities and vil- lages that does not have its drilling squad. There is no excitement and no hysteria: everything is taken in & matter-of-fact’ way. Deficient on The Star Spangled Banner At the American meeting in the ‘Waldorf hotel on August 3 was a gathering of about 5000 and Dr. Cassidy said that there were not enough people in the whole assemiblage who knew the words of the Star Span- glad Banner to sing it. . The mapority of the Americans were calm and col- lected, but some were mervous and ‘panick: : Hotels and Restaurants Accommodat- ing. Dr. Cassidy said that all r ts ang hotels dealing with American peo- ple, as far as he knew, were very courteous and were in some cases even willing to grant credit until the patron was able to return to America and se- cure the money which they Wwere to remit by draft. Dr, Cassidy made a few purcheses in an English store and when he told the proprietor that he was unable to pay cash for the ar- ticles he was kindly informed that his credit was good and that he might re- mit the money by draft from America, taken cafe 0f by the American rellef committee,” which is one of the best organized from the point of view of work that England bhas seen. Helping Thoss Needing Money. On board the ship there had been formed an American relief commit- tee. which worked in confunction with the committee appointed by the mayor of New York to lend all possible aid financially and otherwise to American tourists returning from abroad. Dr. Cassldy was 2 member of this committes aboard ship and was nidre or less actively engaged in the work during the voyage. A number of cases were discovered where need\was ap- parent and in nearly every case aid was rendered. _ School Party in Difficulties. Some were unable to be assisted by the committee. and among these was a party of pupils of the Isadore Duncan school, who Were on their way to this country under the care of Miss Dun- can, who is a citizen of the United States and who was without funds. There were nine in the party-ranging in age from 7 to 15 v but néne of the children was able to claim birth in the United States as they were of various foreign nationalities. In the ordinary course of the immigration laws they would Le deported. They are now being detained at New York for further inquiry into their cases, but it is quite possible that they will be admitted and allowed to become members of a school at Yonkers which Miss Duncan is to onganize. One of the young/ladies who mads the trip from the Biack Forest was compelled to ask aid of the commit- tee, -having been redueed to those cir- cumstances by the greed of an agent of the booking firm with whom she booked her passage.
