PASSED AWAY.

Death of Robert Merritt Burwell, am
 Osd and We'll Known Citizen. MT. Robert Merritt Burwell, one of our old and well known citizens, died at an early hour yesterday morning at his home of heart great sufferer for week past. He was con- scious to the last and spoke to members of his family few moments before he passed away to that bourne whence no traveller re- turns. The deceased had from his early young manhood and until 8 recent period led life of great business activity and by pru- denee and business ssgacity had acquired @ comfortable estate. He was native of Mil- ford, Conn.,, born March 31, 1874. He re- sided in Milford until the age of IS. He came to New Haven in 1881 and was employ ed in the drug store of Dr. Dow at the corner of Chapel and York streets, remaining there two years. He afterwsrd removed to New York where he resided about six years, after ward living in New Hartford, his wife's birthplace, and in Waterbury. He returned to New Haven in 1851 and had resided here continuously since. He was engaged for about twenty-eight years in the manufacture of "Burwell's soap" which attained @ large sale, the business through his foresight and enterprise growing and Prospering
 
 returns. considerable portion of his mon ey he invested in New Haven real estate Mir. Burwell owned the beautiful estate called "Well Wood" situated on Arlington Hill, near this city, in the town of Orange, and comprising 270 acres. Mir. Burwell retired from business eight years ago and since then has been engaged in the care and develop ment of his real estate. He was good citi- zen, honorable, and man of high integrity.

ELIJAH GILBRRT,s AFFAIns

Before She Probate COurt-An $Is,OOO Note Held by Edward Davis of Ham
 den - Insolvency Petition - Strong, Barnes k Hart's BIlI for $2O,OOO. Late yesterday afternoon Attorney Charles s. Hamilton, ip the interest of Edward Davis of Hamden, made 8 petition in the Probate court to have the business of Elijah Gilbert, the we'll known grocer, corner of Elm and Church streets, declared insolvent. Judge Robertson appointed December 10 at ten o'clock as the time for the hearing. The bringing of such proceeding is due to the fact that MT. Gilbert-has failed to pay note for SIS, ,000 that Mir. Davis holds against him.
 MT. Gilbert's financial embarrassment was great surprise to many, but not to few. He has been in business at the same place for fifty years, and at one time he was reported to be worth nearly $200,000.
 This was not the only case brought, ,as Con- stable Jonathan Pond, for Strong, Barnes & Hart, has garnishied Mir. Gilbert's funds in the City bank. He also attached all of MT. Gilbert's real estate, which includes the Elm ard Church streets property, @ house and lot on Wallace street, lot On Lombard street and house and lot on Woolsey street. The attachment is to recover n bill of goods amounting to $2O, ,0oO.
 It was in 1888 that Mir. Gilbert stated in business, and twelve years later he took in as partner, Abner Austin, his brother-in-law. The latter died four years ago and Gilbert bought the interest in the store of the de- ceased.
 It is said that the liabilities will amount to $60, 900 and his assets may and may not be half that amount. No one seems to know what caused the financial embarrassment of Mr. Gilbert. At Dun's Mercantile agency he had an excellent rating, and all the whole saIers with whom he did business continually reported him good. His present trouble was a great surprise to the agency.
 MT. Gilbert was unable to be seen last night as he is confined to his house. No one at the store would talk.
 MT. Gilbert's business was accounted an excellent one, as he had fine class of cus~ tom, but one reason for his embarrassment is coniectured to be the fact that many of his outstanding bills, though perfectly good, were slow bills, often running one, two or three years This embarrassed him for ready money. The mortgages upon his property were surprise to many, and no heavy loss of money in bad speculation Is known of. Mir. Gilbert is i'll at home. He resides with his niece, Miss Austin, on Grove street. He has hsen III for wsek or noze.

church of the Messiah.

Rev. S. B. Smith delivered discourse last evening in the Church of the Messiah, taking for his subject "A special word to Univer- salists." MT. Smith based his remarks on the words found in Psul's first epistle to the Thessalonians, fifth chapter and part of the
 fifth verse: "Ye are all the children of lieht;" also from Matthew, fifth chapter and part of the sixth verse: "Lst your light shine" The opportunities and responsibili- ties were dwelt upon by the speaker, and the lesson inculcated that UniVersalists, with their glorious faith and noble creed, should work brayely and fearlessly for God and hu- rnanity. Rev. L. H. Sduires, pastor of the church, followed in earnest words of approv- al of the discourse and enlarged upon the line of thought of the first speaker. Rev. Phnbe Hanaford, in response to an invita- fion from the pastor, made an eloquent and |fOrcibIe address. Rabbi Kleeberg followed 'in blessing and edifying remark. Rev. Mr. Smith led in the singing as usual and also gaD0 solo. Tonight the exoerises will con aiet of brief addresses by Q number of well known speakers, also singing from the gospel hymn books A cordial welcome is extend- sd to the public to be present and assist h the exeEcipea.
