MAX E. POPE KILLS HIMSELF

Beside the Grave of His Brother in
 Evergreen Cemetery-A Sad Affair.
 Max E. Pope, of Ansonia, shot and killed himself in his plot at the Evergreen ceme- tery yesterday afternoon. Harvey Dorman, superintendent of the cemetery, and Wm. Igo heard the fatal shots fired and rushed to the spot whence they seemed to come. They found man apparently about ffty-fve years of age lying stone dead in one of the lots. The police ambulance was telephoned for at once and Medical Examiner White summoned. The suicide was lying beside the grave of his brother, who also died by his own hand several years ago, and directly across the grave of his daughter. In his left hand was pistol tightly clutehed and both of his hands were covered with his life blood.
 It was learned that the dead man had come to this city yesterday morning and visited the house of Officer Mani, who was an ac- quaintance. He entrusted to. the care of Mrs. Mani letter for his friend, the officer, and declared he was about to kill himself. Officer Mani was given the letter soon after and when he had read the epistle which de- clared he was about to end his life he has tened to the cemetery, but found that he was too late, as his friend lay dead. Dr. White found that Pope had used a thirty calibre revolver and that he had tired four shots. By Dr. Whites orders the remains were taken to Lewis & Maycock's undertak ing establishment. The deceased leaves 8 wife and two sons. No inquest was deemed necessary. Dr. White notified his wife at Ansonia of the sad affair. The following was the letter left by deceased:
 NEW HAVEN, Tuesday, 12 8. My dear Ruby:
 You will fnde my Body on my lot in Ever Green cemetery. Please go to MT. Faulhaber and get about $100.00 to pay Funeral Expenses; he got to give you the money.
 Nothing whatever to my wife.
 Yours truly, MAX E. POPE.

A PLEASANT GATHERING.
Selectman Brown Invites H1S Friend

Selectman Brown Invites H1S Friends
 to a Feast.
 Yesterday afternoon by invitation of Se- 1ectman Brown a party of about thirty gen. tlemen gathered at Savin Point to enjoy clambake. Seleetman Brown placed his steamer at the disposal of his guests for 8 trip to the ''Point," but the water was so rough ''outside" that only one, Selectman Beecher, had the courage to take the trip in this way. On arriving off the "Point" it was so rough that the steamer could not land her "cargo" and so put back to Belle dock, where Mr. Beecher and Mir. Fred Brown found a more congenial mode of conveyance in the form of public coach which landed them safely at their destination in due time. Among others who went to the "Point" on the horse cars or with their own teams were Select men Tyler, Reynolds and Treat, Frank s. and about twenty-five others. On the lawn in front of the Point House was erected large tent under which were placed long tables for the dinner which was well under way when the party arrived. O. Howes, the Savin Rock caterer, had charge of the bake, which was prepared by Mr. Mitchell, who learned the art of preparing clambakes down in Rhode Island, and it was very evident to those who enjoyed the din- ner that he thoroughly understood his busi- ness The bake was made up of fish, chicken, Holsters, clans, oysters, green corn, sweet and common potatoes, and everything was cooked to nicety, and the quantity was sufficient to feed twice the number pl esent. There was an abundance of various kinds of fruit for dessert, with plenty of excellent coffee and lemonade.
 The party extended hearty vote of thanks to Selectman Brown for the sumptuous feast provided for them and there were many ex- pressions of good will expressed for that gen. tleman. The company returned to the city toward evening we'll pleased with their after noon's enjoyment.

Judge York of the Probate Court
 Selectman Treat WfthdrayHs His
 MotIon-No Electric Light For the
 Town Agents Ofnce-Tho Garbage
 System.
 The Board of Selectmen held their regular
 monthly meeting last night. Selectman Tyler
 presiding.
 Judge Samuel A. York appeared before
 the Board and defended the Probate court
 charges as not extortionate. As to the charges for committing insane people to the
 almshouse by the Probate court, would say that the facts are not as represented. As 8 matter of fact, two copies of the petition, order, finding and decree have to be made, and besides copy of the court records made. The statement about the adoption of minors is also incorrect It was stated that from $14 to $15 was charged by the Probate court when the actual cost is only $5. If the Board don't believe my assertions let them appoint an Investigating committee. President Tyler said that the newspapers did not give quite the right version of the Boards statements in regard to the matter, and that he understood that the charges of $15 for minor adoptiops had been charged by the Probate court official. Selectman Treat said that he had stated
 that the entire cost of the minor cases were from $16 to IS, but he had reference to the entire expense. He stated that he had no reflections to make upon Judge York or the Probate court, for whom he had great regard. Judge York stated that if any extra charges had been made by the court that a committee should investigate. MT. Beecher said that the matter had come before the Board merely in an informal manner, and after much discussion Select | man Treat withdrew his assertion made at
 the last meeting and the matter was drop ped.
 On report of Mr. Reynolds that the cost of one electric light for the town agents office
 would exceed the cost of gas, it was voted to continue the use of gas.
 Selectmen l. E. Brown and L. Feldman, a
 committee to investigate the baby farms of the city, reported that they had visited two of them and found everything all right. The regular monthly bills were received and approved by the Board. Griswold I. Gilbert was voted $26.25 for the use of polling places during the last pres idential campaign. Considerable discussion took place relative to the garbage system and to charges made by the Board of Health against the Boards 8 management.
