Nothing has been done in the Elon
Booth will case since the last BEE was is
sned. Last week Friday was short cal
endar day and the case was put over un-
I'll Tuesday of this week. Lawyers, wit
nesses and jury were ready then, but, as
Judge Robinson was suffering with a
cold and unable to sit, the case went over
until Wednesday. The attendants who
then assembled were notified to appear
again, next week Tuesday, as it was hop
ed that Judge Robinson would then be
able to resume his duties. Meanwhile,
1t is understood that considerable new
testimony is being obtained by both sides
to strengthen the different claims.

HENRY l.. PECK.

Henry Lyman Heck, the last TO bear
the name of this branch of the Peck fam
lily, whose death on Saturday was some
what unexpected to his many friends,
was born at Brookfield, December IL,
1870. After receiving a common school
education, he attended school in New
Haven, from there entering the school of
technology in Boston in the Fall of 'SS.
The following Winter he taught school
in Newtown in Head of the Meadow dis
trict, where he became well known and
made many friends. In September of
the present year, he again entered the
school at Boston, but, after pursuing his
studies for a few weeks, was taken sud-
denly ill with peritonitis; in his efforts
to reach home, the disease was aggravat-
ed and developed into typhoid fever.
which, after an illness of five weeks. re-
suited in his death, despite the most
skillful medical care. A widowed moth
err and invalid sister mourn loving SON
and brother. The funeral was attended
on Tuesday at 80 from his late home.
A casket of pearl gray broadcloth en-
closed the remains, IAN exquisite basket of
roses, two crosses, palms and other
choice floral pieces testifying to the low
ing remembrance of friends. The SER
vices opened with the beautiful hymn by
the choir:
"There is no flock however watched and
tended,
But one dead lamb is there
There is no fireside, howsoe er defe nded,
But has one vacant chair
After which Rev ii. B. Mead read
from the burial service words of COM
fort for the afflicted. A solo, s'Rock of
Ages" by Mrs Nettie Baldwin Ives of

after which appropriate remarks by the
pastorand singing by the choir closed

Tocacco growers are anxious for suit
able weather for taking down their
crops, though reports from deliveries in
New Milford are not flattering. Buyers
are disposed to make the most of the
damage to the crop. There are several
instances of parties who refused the rul-
ing prices, last year, of six and seven
cents, packed their crop have alread y
sold for Ia and 15c. There is demand
for tobacco, but the prospects are rather
dismal for the 80 crop.
1t was supposed the death of Henry
Peck resulted from an internal hemor-
rhagc, as there was no premonitory
symptoms. A post-mortem showed the
