The Funeral of Miss May Warner.
 The funeral of Miss May Warner, ,daugh- ter of the late Charles M Warner, and granddaughter of ex-Congressman War ner, took place from the South Congrega- tional church, in Waterbury, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and was attended by many sorrowing friends, the Rev. J. R. Micous officiating. A quartette composed of Mrs. Charles A. Sessler, soprano; Miss Carrie M. Bailey, contralto, from this city, with Mr. Robert M. Barnes, tenor; and Mr. Henry B. Jones, bass, of Water bury, rendered the selections "Just as Am," "Asleep in Jesus," and "Nearer My God to Thee" very finely. While view ing the remains Mrs. Sessler sang the beautiful solo 'Not Dead, but Sleepeth," very sweetly and effectively. This was the favorite hymn of the deceased, and was sung by request. Miss Warner so desired it. Miss Warner was sick about..a year with pulmonary troubles, although not confined to the bed until three weeks ago, when her friends became alarmed. She was young lady af rare complishments and sweet disposition. Miss Warner was formerly of this city, and we'll known in musical circles, and many of her friends here will be pained to hear of her death. None knew her but to love her, none name her but to praise. The flowers, which were in abundance, were profuse and beautiful. The bearers were Messrs. George w. David, Henry J. Parker, Frank I, Harden, Robert B. Jones, Clarenci I. Booth, Walter M. Bradley, all of Water bury. Professor Baldies presided at the organ.

 Committee Appointed.

Committee Appointed.
 A Hull in the affairs of the Old Colony Distilleries company has taken place pend ing the examination of the company's af- fairs and report of the committee appoint ed yesterday at the meeting of creditors. This committee consists of Lieutenant Governor Merwin, City Attorney Hugh Daley, and Fred A. Betts of Betts & AL ling. They will go to New York to-day and examine all the books. Judge liar rison and Lawyer Hamilton will accom- pany them. President Curiel will allow them to, pending statement of the liabil ities of the Old Colony company prepared by it's bookkeeper, and report at meet ing to be held next week.
 The creditors meeting was held in the office of Judge Harrison, who is counsel for the United Growers association.
 There were present General Merwin, who represented the Yale Nank; O. s. Hamil- ton, the banks counsel; E. G. Stoddard, president of the New Haven county bank, and J. w. Bristol the banks counsel Hugh Daley, William A. Wright, Dwight w. Futile, William L. Bennett, Moritz Spier, Fred A. Betts, Judge Harrison and Edmund A. Zacher.
 Judge Harrison, in behalf of President Curiel of the United Growers association, renewed the offer of settlement previously made and reported in the COURIER, which was in effect that bonds should be issued, the creditors other than the United Grow ers' association to take the first mortgage and the United Growers the second.
 The creditors took kindly to the offer and appointed the committee as above stated. They will have personal inter view with President Curiel and ascertain everything worth knowing about the con- dition of the Old Colony company.
 It was thought advisable to make this visit before the hearing in the probate court or the appointment of trustee, which is set down for Monday at Il 8. m.
 The affairs of the Old Colony company were discussed in every light, much time being spent in a discussion of the insur- ance of the warehouse receipts
 Judge Harrison assured the creditors that if any of the liquor in the disti1lery was certified in duplicate, it was done un- Intentionally, and with no desire to de- fraud, and was due to bad book keeping. He moreover assured the creditors that there were in the distillery about 200 more barrels of liquor than there were certifi- cates extant for, whether they were dupli- cates or not; and that the holders of cer- ffcates should have no fear but that they were secured

 "whsn was IA years of age had a severe attack sf rheumatism, and after recovered had to go on crutches. Ayear later, scrofula, in the form of white swellings, appeared on various parts of my body, and for If years was an invalid, being confined to my bed years.

 "Early in 1886 went to Chicago to visit sister, but was confined to my bed most of the time I was there. In July I read a book, "A Day with a Circus, in which were statements . of cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla. I was so i'm pressed with the success of this medicine that decided to try it. To my great qualification the sores soon decreased, and began to feel better and in short time I was up and out of doors.
