William H Starr, an old and honored resi-
dent of East New London. died suddenly of
heart disease at his home last Sunday even
ing. His health had been improving for
some time and he went out walking Sunday
morning. Upon returning he felt pain in
the region of the heart, and took a simple
remedy which seemed to relieve him. His
death came very suddenly.
Mr.. Starr was born in Groton in 1908 He
developed literary tastes and many years ago
became the publisher of a paper in New
York of which Poe was for a time the editor.
He afterward went into mercantile
life and amassed competence in the gas fix
ture business. Upon retiring he made his
home in New London and has done much
toward developing the eastern portion of
that city. He organized the Starr Coal and
Iron company and made good deal of money
in that business until he met financial re-
verses. His pluck was shown in the way he
overcsme these losses.
The deceased was secretary of the New
London County Historical society, had been
Alderman, Representative and Senator, was q
well known collector of coins, was a deacon
of the First Church of Christ and was kind
ly and honorable man. At the time of his
death he was writing sketch of the Roman
Empire during the time of Christ and the
last word that his pen wrote was the name of
the Saviour.

The Late Colonel C. e. L. Holmes.

Many friends will regret to hear of the
death of Colonel G. E. Latimer Holmes, who
died yesterday forenoon in Ansonia, at the
residence of Mrs. W. R. Slade, Of Bright's
disease. Deceased was interested in the firm
of Holmes & Griggs, brass manufacturers

poet of much ability and was favorite with
all who knew him, being of genial DISPOSE
ton, unselfsh and possessing rare social quail
tiles. For a number of years he was treasurer
of the Lotus club of New York, and when
failing health caused him to decline a re-
election he was given a beautiful testimonial.

Trout Culture.

Stocking the Brooks of the state.
Under the direction of the board of fish
commissioners, Mr.. Henry j. Fenton, of Po-
quonnock, has placed in the brooks of the
State this spring 500, 900 young trout, and
will place 100, 900 more during the month Of
May. This is not by actual count, of course,
but the figures are approximately correct
The little fish are counted by meas urinG
them. They are less than an inch in length,
and taking a lot of fry, all of the same age
and size, small measure is filed to the
brim, and the number is counted. Mr.. Fen
ton says that quart measure will hold sew
eral thousand of the little fellows.
In four compartments of his trout house,
located in the rear of his residence in Poquon-
mock, are several thousands of trout from one
to three years old. A stream of clear, cold
water runs through the house, passing over
beds of sand and gravel and the speckled
beauties thrive and grow fat there on iber-
al supply of sleeps liver and other suitable
Fenton transplantsd about 100 pounds of
them, alive, to Washington market in New
York, and received an average of one dollar
per pound and his travelling expenses. This
is largely in excess of the price paid in New
York for fish brought to market dead. but
there are customers who are willing to pay
the extra price to have trout fresh from the
water.
Mr.. Fenton has been engaged In trout
Matching for eight years or more, and COM
menced operations with only score of fish
captured in the brooks in his section. He
expended three or four thousand dollars in
experiments and met with many defeats be-
fore he had discovered the best methods of
Matching. At present he has Matching
house, separate from the fish house above
mentioned, and on a different stream, and
from this he supplies all the fry needed for
the streams of the State. About two
years ago he received from Califor-
MIA lot of fry of the rainbow trout,
and now has 2SO fine specimens about six or
eight inches in length. These will be used
for breeding purposes, and the fry will be
placed in waters which cannot be successfully
stocked with brook trout. The latter require
cool streams, while the rainbow trout, it is
claimed, will thrive in water in which brook
trout could not live. There are number Of
streams in the State in which rainbow trout,
it is believed, will do much better than their
brethren native to this section. They grow
faster than brook trout and attain a larger
size.

Ana Consequently Lost HIS Life by the
UpsettInR of . Boat.
Four young men started out for row
across the Shetueket river near Preston last
Sunday afternoon. The river is quite deep
in places and runs with considerable veloci-
ty. The young men were having fine time
until the boat struck rock and capsized,
and all four young men tumbled into the
water. Three Of them were good swimmers,
but the fourth, whose name was Fred. Smith,
could not swim at all. His companions saw
this, and towed him to the boat, to-which he
elung until it sank with his weight. The un-
fortunate young man went down with the
boat and was drowned before his companions
could save him. Every effort possible was
made to recover the body. The deceased
was % years old and his parents live in Nau-
gatuck. He was q general favorite.
