In Colchester Monday there were no new cascs of infantile paralysis, as there have been none for several days now, it is hoped that the disease is clearing up in that neighborhood, and that that community will emerge with- out further ill effccts from a situation that at one time looked pretty threat- ening. Dr. Howland, who is taking care of the family of Allan H. Brown, said Monday night that Mrs. Brown and three of the four children are on the way fo recovery, but the two months' old twin, Allan H. Brown, Jr., continues to be badly paralyzed and ls in a serious condition and _the chances of his recover are not bright. In the Polish family named Switza, not far from the Browns, on the west road in Colchester, the two months’ old baby had only a mild attack and is re- covering. The Aaron family, who started off for their home in Brooklyn pretty socn after Dr. Howland had found thé three vear old Aaron girl sick with paralysis, are probably safely there by this time. But the gentleman, Lugar by name, who conveyed them autemo- bile to New Haven, whence they took the train, b heen rounded up by the health authorities and is cxpiating his misdemeanor by serving three weeks in quarantine, he an dhis family, and his automobile with him. By request, Health Officer Brophy has extended the time when health certificates will be granted and now the daily hours are to be from 10 to 12 o'clock and from 2 to 5 o'zlock at his office in the Shannon building.

Stanton of Hartford, for- merly of this city, uate of Yale, former United States dlstrict attorney. and with a state-wide reputation as a lawyer of ability for more than half a century, died at his ancestral home, the house in whick he was born, in Clin- ton, at 8.15 Sunday evening. He had been in feeble heglth for several months. About a month ago he went to the old home in Clinton nad had steadily failed, Stanton was born in Lewis Eliot Clinton, Middlesex county, $3 years ago, son of John and Caroline Eiiot Stan- ton. His father wasa prosperous coun- try merchant of that place. His grand- father came from Rhode Island but was @ descendant of Thomas Stanton, one of the founders of Hartford and buried in Stonington. His mother was also of Clinton, and on_the material side he was descended from Rev. John Eliot, who came to Roxbury, Mass., in 18683, and Jater preached in Natick of the same state. Mr. Stanton acquired his early edu- cation at the village school of his birth~ place, in the schools of Norwich, and later prepared for college at Bacon academy in Colchester. He entered Yale in 1851 and at once applied him- self with diligence to his studies, prov ing an apt and_conecientious student and taking various prizes for ability in debat ,eand was subsequently grad- uated with honor in a distinguished class. But his course of study did not end with the four years at the univer- sity. After leaving college he returned to his books with determination, hav. ing deéided to make the law bhis pro- fession. But while preparing for the bar he accepted the position of teacher at Shaw academy in Last Cleveland, O., where he remained for nearly a year. In July, 1856, his health became impaired and he was forced to relin- quish his schcol, which he did with much regret. But his own studies were not interrupted, and a year later, in May, 1857, he entered Yale Law school and received legal instruction from Gov. Henry Dutton and Prof. Thomas E._Osborne. In_February, 1859, Mr. Stanton en- tered the law office of John S. Beach of New Haven, where ho remained un til his admission to the bar in that city in April, 1829, not returning to his home until November of the same year, and then locating in Norwich. Mr. Stanton remained in Norwich until Sept. 9, 1885, being assistant clerk of the superior court of New London county from June. 1363, to July, 1864, and recorder of fhe city of Norwich from July, 1364, to the time of his de- parture. Afr. Stanton inherited a strong mem- ory and a natural gift for public speaking, and much of his success was due to his facility of _expression, coupled with hard work and a remark- ablie scholarship. During the early years of his practice he was fond of stump speaking and did a zreat deal of it in easterr Connecticur, making speeches in all campaigns. both state and national, from 1860 to 1870. One of the memorable events of his early career in Norwich was when Abraham Lincoln came here and made his great speech, soon after the.famous contest ith Douglas for the Iilinois senator- ship. The next morning Mr. Stanton sought a long interview, which, to his great delight, Lincoln gave him. In that conversation the Tllinois states- man repeated what he had said in pub- lic. “Young man, this country cannot remain half slave and half free. Sla- very will be abolished or it will extend over the country.” Soon after that Mr. Stanton said on the stump that Abra- ham Lincoln exhibited such undoubted genius that it would not be at all sur- prising to see him president of the United States. Linccln was nominated at_the next convention. In politics Mr. Stanton was always a staunch republican. He had never run for office but once and had no fondness for it, though taking a great interest in the welfare of his party. In the fall of 1830 he was nominated - for the house of representatives and was elect- d_and made house chairman of the judiclary committee with his cla mate, Lyman D. Brewster, senate chairman. The house in which he died in Clin- ton is ancestral property and was. un- til Stanton’s ownership, immedi- ately preceding, owned and occupied by John "Stanton, his brother, deceased. In its fittings and furnishings it is a museum of early New England life and has been visited by thousands of lovers of the colonial and antique. Mr. Stanton took great pride in it and em ploved a family to live in it and care for it the year round. He spent much of his time summers theve and at Watch Hill. Major George A. Cornell. Major George A. Correll, for more than 50 years connected with the Con necticut National guard and for 3 years with the quartermaster general's department, died at his home, No. 617 Albany avenue, Hartford, Sunday. Major Cornell was born in New Lon- don in 1545. As a youth he was em- ployed in a clothing stcre in_that city and later learned the trade of machin- ist. He removed to Hartford in 1872 and for several years worked at his trade. He had not attained his majority when on Aug. 8, 1885, he enlisted in New London in Company D of the old Third regiment. He was honorably discharged Sept. 18, 1871 The duties of Major Cornell at the arsenal and armory combined those of storekeeper and armorer, and at the time of the state encampments he was active in the shipment of supplies to Niantic. During his long service with the national guard Major Cornell ha: become known to hundreds of guards- men and was highly esteemed. He was a veteran member of the First com- pany, Governor's Foot Guard. Major Cornell is survived by his wife. Adjutant General Cole, in speaking of Major Cornell’s long connection with the Connecticut National guard, ex. pressed regret at his death and refer- red to his long and faithful service. \ C. T. A.
