nell and has had considerable experience as an oarsman. He stroked his freshman crew and was also one of the crack men in last years varsity crew. He is a graduate of the Saginaw high school and is a mem- Der of the class of '96 at Cornell.
 Hamilton has rowed in so many excit- ing races and is such sturdy, powerful oarsman that it is hardly likely he will go to pieces the way the Cornell stroke did when the college was represented abroad by a four cared crew in 1881. This crew was beaten in the Henley legatta by the crew of the London Rowing club by the narrow margin of half a boats length. The Cornellians then went to Vienna and rowed over q three mile course against the Vienna crew. The Americans made a run away race of 1t and were turning the stake boat a quarter of Q mile ahead when the stroke man tainted, and Cornell thus lost the race.

Legal Fight Over the Seery Estate.
 A hearing was held on the P H Seery matter this afternoon and for a time was warm proceeding Attorney Cole ap- peared for P. H, Ssery and argued that Seery had not had his day in court and was misled and never notified. He argued that Seery ought to be given a chance to file an affidavit and defend himself and show why he should not be declared insolvent He showed a a copy of a letter from some of tue insur- ance companies purporing to be in T. H Hayes handwriting, in which the latter claimed to have been appointed the assignee of the estate. This letter Mir Hayes said was forgery and was positively not his handwriting.
 AttIfney Bronson said that Seery had his day in court He, the attorney. repre- scented five insura C. companies. He met S-ery last Saturday morning in his office Seery told him that he had collected $l POO of sixth policy and paid it all out At tOrnry Bronson then told him that ln the afternoon the proceedings would take place in the probate court. They did take place and Seery not appearing he was declared insolvent
 Attorney Kennedy argued for the reopen ing of the proceedings on the ground that Seery believed T. H Hayes was his friend and that he supposed he would act in his interests Also there would be no hard ship to any body to reopen the case.
 Judge Lowe said he would decide the case next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.

CROSSED IN LOVE.

A Naugatuek Plumber While Despond-
 ent Shoots Himself Through the Eyes
 Dying Instantly.
 A Connecticut Associated Press dis patch from Ansonia to the DEMOCRAT states:
 "A few minutes after o'clock this morning. while Fred Hotchkiss was sweep ing out the hardware store of Lockwood Hotchkiss, a man apparently 25 years old entered and bought a 32 calibre bulldog revolver and a box of cartridges. Hotch- kiss turned away to continue his work when a shot was fired and the man was just sinking to the floor as Hotchkiss looked at him. He rolled over on his side and Hotchkiss ran out for a physician. Dr Stoudel, living in the next block, re- sponded, but the man, died a minute after.
 Medical Examiner Conklin was sent for and thorough examination was made. The bullet hele was over the left eye, the ball having entered the brain. On his per son was found s so in change and a mem- orandum book containing charges for plumbing work done for E. E. Stevens, warden of the borough of Naugutuck. who is a prominent builder and contractor. Several Naugatuck people who were in Ap- sonia looked at the body but did not recog- nize him. They said Stevens plumbing was usually done by Waterbury parties
 "The man was of dark complexion with nearly black hair. He wore a sack coat and had been shaven this morning. His linen had evidently just been rut on.
 It was learned at Naugatuck this after noon that the man was Samuel Torrington |, plumber who was for some time in the employ of Charles 0. Frisbie. He came from South Manchester and not much was known about him in Naugatuck. He had acted in a strange manner for some time and it is reported that he had told some of his friends that he had been disappointed in love. He disappeared on Memorial day and nothing was heard frnm him until the news of his death was received to-day.

 THE district committee and toard of ed- ucation are coming in for a good many "cusses" these days on account of the dis. satisfaction over the selection of a high school site. Perhaps they are ln a measure responsible, but one must turn back the pages of municipal history to find the root of all the trouble. believe the first wrong step was taken when the city sacri- feed its land on Grand street to the agents of the Bronson library fuRd There was ample room for the library and a high school building. but the library agents. after having secured the title. snapped their fingers at the school officials. telling them that if they wanted land for high school purposes they would find it in the rear of the lot. To make they planted their building in the center of the lot with a prison,like wing, which should be in the rear, facing the street and spelling the appearance of the whole place. But for the selishness of the library agents two public buildings could have been erected on the site with saving of $25. 900 to the taxpayers.
 THE plan for sewage disposal in opera tion at Fitchburg, Mass, which the Water bury committee will inspect next week. is novel and not very expensive City En- gineer Cairns, however, is not satisfied that the system is entirely reliable. The de vice automatically removes the coarse floating material in the sewage; strains out the finer parts for fertilizer. extracts all the foul gases i2 the sewage during.th operation. and util'zes them as part of the fuel to operate the machine, aerates or oxidlz s the sewage, so that the matter in solution coagulates and Is gath cred on the surtdce of a filter bed and automatically removed. while the water percolates through the sand and falls in a shower to the ground or pavement of cob blestones beneath. The plan adopted and followed in the use of the machine Is to To- cate it at the mouth of the main sewer and by means of force pump or equivalent power raise the water about twenty feet above the sewer when 1t is spread on a sieve belt. The foul gases. which make their escape from the water. are drawn upward by the exhaust fan and are then forced into the fur mace, where they are used in conjunction with coal in producing steam. Such plant for Waterr ury would cost about $5O, 900.
