The sudden death of John H. Mor- rison with heart disease occurred on Wednesday evening a little after 9 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. King at No. 22 Court street, with whom he boarded. During the evening he had been at the cigar store of Willlam M. Mc- Cord on Franklin square, where for 43 years until he retired about a dozen years ago Mr. Morrison had conducted a cigar business as manufacturer and retailer. He had been in his usual good spirits at the store, where he had been enjoying a game of cards, as was his usual custom, with John Dawson, and he left the store fer home about 9 o'clock. He was in the sitting room at the house and Mr. King had gone into another room to prepare a hot, stim- ulating drink for Mr. Morrison, as he had complained some of having a lit- tle cold. When ‘Mr. King returned to the room Mr. Morrison had fallen backward in his chair and the end came within a few minutes, though not before it had been possible to get Dr. Patrick Cassidy there. Dr. Louis T. Cassidy was also summoned. Mr. Morrison, who was $6 and was born in Germany, came to this country when a child and lived in Baltimore, where he learned his trade as a cigar maker. He removed to this city before the war and was one of the best known citizens. Willlam M. McCord, who bought out his business about a dozen years ago, was working for him when he first located in the store in the Chapman building at the corner of Rose place, having previously started his cigar business in a room in the Spier building on Main street. Mr. Morrison enlisted in the 1Sth Connecticut regiment as a first lieu- tenant, serving through the war with gallantry and being promoted to a captaincy. He was a_ member of Sedgwick Post, No. 1, G. A. R. He was a member of the Norwich volunteér firemen for a number of vears and was foreman of the Wau- regan Hook and Ladder Co. Mr. Morrison was unmarried. A brother died about a year ago in Bal- timore and his nearest surviving rela- tives are nieces and nephews. Mrs. John M. King, wife of Dr. King, is a niece. His long residence in this city had given him a wide acquaintance and he was held in admiring esteem by all with whom he was associated. Quiet and unassuming, he was a good friend to those whom he knew best and there will be many to feel his sudden death as a personal loss. UNSATISFACTORY EXPLANATION OF CHANGE OF TRAIN. New Haven Road Man Fails to Satis. fy Board of Trade Committee. At the Board of Trade rooms on Wednesday morning the transportation committee of which John T. Young is chairman met Mr. Bartis, represen- tative of the New Haven road, regard- ing the change of route of the State of Maine express. The New Haven road man said that the change was made because of con- gestion of freight traffic and the lack of sidings between New Haven and New Lendon. Postmaster John P. Murphy was present at the hearing and showed how the removal of the. trains would result in later mails here. The committee felt that the explan- ation offered was a very unsatisfactory one as the double track system on the stretch of road mentioned seemed ta them to make it a most unlikely spot where there would by such congestion as he clalmed existe OBITUAR! George Maynard. (Contributed.) ‘The death of George Maynard, a resident of this city, occurred sudden- ly on Friday, November 26, at his home on CIlift place. He was born_in Montville, Conn., May 1, 1837. He was a veteran of the Civil war and enlisted in Com- pany E, 1Sth C.

Mr. Maynard had been a great suf- ferer with hardening of the arterles. also had heart trouble. A few weeks ago his condition became more se- rious and for the past few days he had steadily weakened both in body and mind, ahd his case was one that would not yield to medical skill. He was a kind neighbor, a good friend to those in need, and his sudden death was a great shock to all. s The funeral took place at his home on Monday, November 29, at__ two o'clock, and burial was in Maple- wood Cemetery. Mr. Maynard is survived by his wife, & daughter, Mrs. Thomas Tish, and a granddaughter, Miss Mildred Fish, living at Pasadena, Cal. WILLIAM F.

Lathrop. The meeting was held an hour earlier than usual this year in order that there might be ample tige for a full discus- slon of the busiress. X y the report o e treasurer, Charles D. Greenman, it was shown that the receipts and expenses were larger, probably, than ever before. Re- ceipts’ were about $16,000 and ex penditures were approximately the same leaving a small balance on the business of the year. Tko report showed that for perman- ent improvement there has been ex- pended $1,927, for repairs $1,539, for fast horses 32,600, these items in- cluding the $1,000 that has been ex- Penses for the new turnstiles. Benefit From Turnstiles. The expenses in past years have been ranging from $10,000 “to $12,000 and last year were about $12,000 with a big incréase in the volume of business this year. The treasurer stated that with the turnstiles in operation this year for the first time they were respo ble for bringing in for the soclety $400 more during the one pleasant day and two rainy days this year than was brought in during the three pleasant days last year when there were many leak holes He ccnsidered the invast- ment made in the turnstiles a profita- ble one.

He shall have the deciding vote on all Questions. He shall appoint all offi- cers and_committees when not other- Wwise ordered between the annual meetings and present the same to the éxecutive committee for their appro- val. He shall have a general super- vision over all work of this society, and all expense incurred in the per- formance of his duty shall be paid from the treasury.

Plerson a vote was passed authorizing the chair to appoint a committee of three to work in the interest of the member- ship of the soclety. Suggestions for the Future. Woodbury O. Rogers advanced the opinion that it would be advisable to exchange membership mutually with the the New London County Improve- ment league, if this could be done. Secretary Beckwith also advocated the idea. 'He told of the valuable as- sistance the county agent had been to him during his first year as secretary of the society and went on to tell of the enmity and ill will he had gained in his position as secretary by simply making ah effort to carry out the pro- visions of the constitution and by-laws of the society. He said that for the paltry $200 he received it was the most thankless job in New London county. He had written during the past year 1,114 letters, and these did not include the notices to this or other meetings, but matters pertinent to the welfare of the society. He touched on the matter of the grange awards and suegested that in another year the awards be made by marking the ex- hibits by points. The secretary stated that he had received for the next fair the exhibits of Fairbanks modern machinery, thé New Haven and Storrs experimental stations and the national Canadian ag- ricultural exhibit. He felt that next year would be the biggest in the his- tory of the society and urged the mat- tereof making additions and improve- ments to the exhibition buildings be taken under consideration. The business of the meeting was concluded at noon. SUPERNUMERY GIVEN HEARING BEFORE COMMISSIONER Barney Keenan Charged With Into: cation While on Duty.

On that night Supnumerary Keenan was substituting on the East Side beat and about 9 o'clock a telephone mes- sage was received at police headguart- ers that the officer was in such a con- dition of intoxication that he was un- fit to be on duty.

But One Appointee by Tax Depart- ment Exempt from Civil Service. OPINION The difference of opinion between the tax commissioner’s department and the clvil service commission over the power of the tax commissioner to make appointments without confining himself to the commission’s eligiblc list has been settled by an opinion which Attorney General George E. Hinman gave Wednesday to Secretary H. E. Wright of the commission. The decision sustains the position of the commission. The amendment to the civil service law passcd at the last session of the general assembly allows heads of de- partments to make personal appoint- ments previously controlled by rules of the civil service commission when not specifically exempted. The provision of the amendment reads “one secre- tary or clerk of each department, board or ‘commission authorized by law to appoint a secretary or clerk.” In the opinion of the atforney genera@s that applies to such positicns only when they are authorized by law. Secretary Wright asked. the attorney Beneral what positions the tax commis- sloner could exempt under section 3. The attorney general replied that the exemption of “one private secretary, clerk or stenographer” was to be con- strued as permitting the exemption of one appointee only, that is, either a private secretary or a clerk or a sten- ographer. The attorney general con- cludes by saying that the exemption of one position exhausts the right of ex- emption.
