JUDGE McCURDY DEAD.

The Venerable Jurist Passes Away al
 the Age of Nfnety-Three-Ex.Ch Justice of Connecticut.
 LYME, June S.-The Hon. Charles J. Me Curdy died at Old Lyme this morning al
 the advanced age of ninety three years and
 six months.
 Judge McCurdy was born at Lyme, De-
 cember 7, 1797. His father was lawyer
 and graduate of Yale and his mother was
 granddaughter of the first Governor
 Griswold. Judge McCurdy was graduated from Yale with high honors in 1877, stud jed law in the office of Chief Justice Swift in Windham and was admitted to the bar, He soon went into practice at Lyme and continued, except while abroad, until he was appointed to the bench In 1922 he married Sarah Ann, daughter of Richard Lord, of Lyme. She died in 1885, leaving an only daughter, Evelyn, who is now the wife of Professor Edward E Salisbury of New Haven.
 Judge McCurdy was member of the Connecticut house of representatives in 1927, 1928, 1929, 1883, 1884, 1888, 1S4O, 1S41 and 1844, state senator from the old Ninth district and president pro tenn. of the senate in 1882; lieutenant governor in 1847 and 1S4S, when Clark Bissell was gov ernor. He was an active member of the peace congress at Washington in February, 1861. While in the legislature Judge Nc Curdy affected the change in the common law by which persons are allowed to be witnesses in cases in which they are the in- terested parties-a change which almost revolutionized the administration of jus tice and has since been adopted through this country and in England.
 In 1851 he was appointed the United States minister at the court of Austria, and served two years. In 1856 he became a judge of the superior court, and was raised to the supreme court bench in 1863, and in 1867 retired, owing to the constitu- tional limitation as to age. He subse- quently delivered lectures before the Yale law school.
 Judge McCurdy, after passing his 9Oth year, continued vigorous and active and took lively interest in agriculture, itera- ture, science, art and politics. His health remained good and his appearance that of a well-preserved man of 65 years, rather than of nonagenarian. Time dealt gently with him, and it's only marks were the whitening of his hair and beard, dimmed sight and slight deafness. Until within short time he drove out every of his estate, which included filled fields, woodlands and quarry prop erty. He had quarry of beautiful stone, of which the Episcopal church at New l port was built
 Judge McCurdy was the oldest surviv- l ing graduate of Yale since the recent death | of the Rev. MT. Whitcomb in New Hamp- l shire. He was gentleman of the old l polite and suave, of polished |! manners, always courteous and dgniAsd, l md g highly estimable and worthy man md citizen.

THE EXHIBITION, TalIs wEEE

THE EXHIBITION. TAlIS WEEK At the Second Regiment Armory ol
 Work Done by Children of the
 Public Schools of New Haven.
 The Second regiment armory looks very much changed in appearance, all owing to the preparations for the coming big exhi- bition this week of specimens of their handiwork by the scholars of New Haven public schools. A very long raised plat form twelve feet wide extends down the armory's center. On each side are five long rows of wooden frames that resemble overgrown clothes "horses."
 The frames will be used to exhibit the work that has been done by the scholars of the public schools during the past year. At the end of the building, opposite the main entrance, there will be several tiers of seats rising from the floor to the gal lery and extending the entire width of the building. The carpenter work will be completed to-day. The exhibits to be made consist of fancy and sewing work, of drawings of all kinds and descriptions, of designs cut from paper and wood, of writ ing, and in fact of everything that is done in the schools that could form part of an exhibition. The drawing exhibits are ar ranged in order upon heavy blue paper, which in turn is tackled upon the frames.

THE MYSTERY OUT.

The Allingtown Murder Story is
 Partly Explained and John Gorm-
 Iey,s Absence.
 The owner sf the clothes found by the three boys in the woods in Allingtown near Lee & Hoyt's slaughter house, has been discovered. The police received the following notice yesterday afternoon: "John Gormley, 117 Columbus avenue, missing since Saturday.

He could not explain the blood as he was stupe6ed with liquor at the time and did not remember what he had done. He was trying to break into the farmhouse under the i'm precision that his clothes were there. He is brakeman on the Consolidated road.

A HAND-TO-HAND CONFLICT.

MorninS-Grand Juror Hitchcock and Constable Stannard Have a Lively Set-to-The Cases Continued to Tomorrow.
 The various proprietoIs of and residents | in the notorious houses of Hamden which
 were raided early Sunday morning were all present at the district school house in Hamden at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
 to be tried before Justice Dwight Futile. No evidence was, however, offered, and the cases against the accused were contin-
 ued under $20O bonds until the same hour tomorrow. The bonds were renewed in
 each case.
 At the conclusion of the legal part of | the proceedings, an incident not down upon the program transpired just out side of the school house. The aforesaid incl dent consisted of a lively set to between Grand Juror Hitchcock and Constable Stannasa. It is hard to ascertain what
 were the causes which led up to the "mill"
 between the two men, but certain it is that for short time quite an impromptu bat tie took place between the two men, Sev- eral of the spectators endeavored to sepa- rate the contestants, but their efforts were but futile and one of them was advised to attend to his own busi- ness. The battle ragged fiercely, blows were struck by each of the infuriated men, and finally Constable Stannard drew his
 "billy" and was preparing to use it, at the same time claiming that he had Grand Juror Hitchcock under arrest. It was at this stage of the proceedings that Eliza Murphy came upon the scene of the en- counter in the guise of a peacemaker, and by few persuasive words succeeded in calming the belligerent. spirits of both men and separating the contestants. Each then departed to their respective abodes, and the trouble was at end. ,s
 It is not generally believed that the en- counter yesterday was in consequence of anything connected with the present trial, but is thought to be the outcome of an old feud which has existed between the two men, it is said for year past.
 The constable, Thompson, who partici- pated in the raid Sunday morning is not Constable Thompson of this city but gentleman of similar name residing in East Haven.

OBITUARY
Death of Rev. Edward M. Jero

Death of Rev. Edward M. Jerome.
 A large circle of friends will mourn the
 death of Rev. Edward M. Jerome, who
 died yesterday morning at o'clock at his
 home, corner of Grown and York streets.
 He was highly esteemed by all who knew him. MT. Jeromes health had been poor
 for several years, but he had been able to
 continue to give his attention to his busi-
 ness affairs up to Friday last, and to many
 the news of his death was sad and mourn full surprise. For some time he had suf- fered with kidney trouble, and on Friday last he submitted to an operation, from
 which he never rallied. He gradually grew
 weaker from nervous exhaustion, aud had chill on Sunday. For several hours be- fore his death he was in a semi conscious ! condition
 MT. Jerome was born in Bristol, this state, June 15, 1926. He came to New Yale in the class of 1850. He studied law with Charles F. Shelton and also with Munson & Shelton. In 1857 he re- moved to Baltimore and practiced his profession for one year, then returning to New Haven and practicing for another year. In 1857 he studied theology with Rev. Dr. Turnbull of Hartford and sub sequently was the successful and popular pastor of the Baptist churches in Meri- den, Westfeld, Mass, and Ansonia. Owing to bronchial difficulty he was soon afterward established the Naugatuck Valley Sentinel. This paper he conducted for several years, and subsequently, dis posed of it to J. M. Emerson. In 1880 he purchased the Shore Line Times, which he has since conducted. For several years during his last residence in this city, his throat growing better, he was enabled to supply the pulpits of some of the churches in this city and vicinity occasionally on Sunday.
 His widow, who survives him, was daughter of the late George Hotchkiss of Fair Haven. He leaves two daughters, Miss Florence Jerome and Mrs. Burtt, the wife of clergyman in Biddeford, Me s. B. Jerome of New York and Luther E. Jerome of this city are brothers, and Mrs. Edward Stevens and Miss Helen Jerome of this city are sisters of the deceased. The late Chauncey Jerome, mayor of this city in 1854 and the founder of the Jerome Clock company, subsequently, the New Ha- ven Clock company, was the father of the deceased.
 MT. Jerome was an earnest preacher of the gospel and had lived an upright and exemplary life. He was an uncompromis- ing enemy of hypocrisy in all it's forms. He was in politics ever an ardent republi- can. Personally he was a man whom to know was to love and honor for his trans parent honesty and sincerity of purpose, his high aims and standard of living and l his conscientious life as Christian. Many | there are who will deeply mourn his loss | as that of a dear and much valued friend. |
 The funeral services will be held at Cal vary Baptist church, of which he was a member, on Wednesday afternoon at 4

 'The Boston and Maine Railroad Passen- ger Department, Boston," issues some eight or nine different little pamphlets, tastefully gotten up, almost all with excel lent maps, numerous little gems of pie lures, and very much interesting reading information about regions reached by its large system of railroads, consolidated or concurrent. Having enjoyed much in New England scenery myself, beg to state that I have placed their recent gift to me of these publications in the city free library for reference, that any interested may see what they can also get for themselves from the Boston office at nominal expense, in cluding postage, of 10 cents each, large one 15 cents.
