Abxtract of Reports of Mortality
 Throughout the State During October.
 The monthly report of c. A. Lindsley, secretary of the state board of health, for October, shows a decided difference from the report of September
 There were ,032 reported ill September and only 95S in October, the death rate in tho latter month being l9.i per l:QQ0 against I'll in Septenaber, the difference being due to the diminished deaths from diarrhpal diseases. In September there were 203; in October there were only 46.
 Th7re were more deaths in October from scarlet fever, cerebro spinal fever, diphthe- ria, whooping cough, erysipelas, typhoid fever, malarial fever, puerperal fever, con suript,o!., n4eqmonia, bronchitis and dis eases of the heart than in SehtaEbQr SQ that, although there is a lessened death rate, except in the single matter of diar- rhoal diseases, which are always so much in tluenced by temperature, the general health of the state is not so good as in the pre- vt9is month.
 The total nun.be1 oF ienths iu Water. bury was 37, representing an annual deatn Tate per 1000 of 14.6. Danbury's death rate of a7.5 was the highest in the state for the month.

 Frank c. Smith, the wicked prohibition stump speaker, was a prominent figure in lhe prisoners pen at the police court this morning.

FROM AFFLUEECE TO PENURY.

Stock Gambling and Horse Easing Cause
 the Downfall of a Once Wealthy Man.
 "Chauncey Goodrich, who has twice been a member of the Connecticut legisla- ture, was prisoner in Justice Walsh s court, Brooklyn, yesterday, charged with vagrancy. He tried to commit suicide October p by swallowing laudanum and cutting his throat, but as no one saw him do it this charge was dismissed, and on that of vagrancy he was held. Mir Good rich is 66 years old. He made fortune i'll the manufacture of clocks, but lost his money in Wall street speculation, Two months ago he obtained work as day laborer ill Brooklyn"
 This extract is taken from a New York paper of yesterday. The statements it con tains ars but partially correct, but it sum lnariZes a rather remarkable history.
 Chauncsy Goodrich was born i'll Rocky Hill, Conn, in 1926. His early life was un- eventful. About thirty years ago he was junior member of the firm of Smith & Goodrich, who manufactured clocks in Bristol. Early in the '10s he moved to Plainville, where he had beautiful res idence and attractive premises. He was reported at that time to be worth between $60, 900 and S75, ,000. It is not known with certainty how he lost his money, but a gentleman who is acquainted with him said yesterday that it was generally sup posed that he lost the bulk of it in Wall street and in horse racing.
 After he lost his money he was employ ed by A. D. Hendrick, the well known contractor at the New Haven Clock com pany. Subsequently he worked for five or six years for the Clock company for S2 a day. Two years ago he finished work at the Clock company and went to the Ansonia Clock company of Brooklyn.

WOODS APPEAL FROM PROBATE.
Litigation Over the Estate of the Late
 James Mct<con.


 James Mcl<oon.
 Patrick Woods appeal from probate, as executor of the estate of James McKeon, was the first case heard before the superior court this morning. Woods was the first witness called He said that the sidewalk, the cost of which was objected to by the judge of probate, was laid by order of the court of common council. Before the walk was laid it was found necessary to build a stone wall and grade the grounds. The contract for the work was awarded to Patrick E. Pierce, he being the lowest bid der The work was bid for as follows: Grading, removing earth etc, go cents per yard; curbing, 42 cents per foot; building wall, F cents per foot; laying walk, 65 cents per yard cutting trees, Sl6. The bill for the whole amounted to $1 ,160. 66.
 The next item objected to was an under takers bill of $534. 20 Woods said he was acting under instructions received from McKeon to give him the best possible burial. The casket, which was furnished | by Martin Bergin, was the best that could 1 be furnished and was down on the bill at | $475.
 The bill of T. F, Judson, of $349.56, for | goods bought by two cousins of the deceas- l ed and allowed by the executor, was next taken up. Woods claimed that the goods were bought at the request of McKeon. | In regard to his own bill of $1 100 Woods said he had spent the best part of two years iG settling the estate.
 Fred w. Laforge was the second witness called He testified ts surveying the land and said that the ground was graded and the wall built at his suggestion.
 F. Floyd Weld testified that he fixed the grade for the curb ing andsidewalk on be- halt of the city. It was necessary to re- l>,.> Il <>ft hA l. fN law ha 1 sidswslk. It was not absolutely necessary to build & wall, 1 bout fifteen cents foot would be good prigo ker building that wall.
 Patrick E. Pierce said that in his opinion it was necessary to build the wall. His charges were reasonable, and if anything a littis under the regular prices.
