NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 16.-The Times
says this morning:
Chief Consul Potter has a bomb to
explode at the coming session of the
National assembly of the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen. 1t is in the form of a
motion and argument for the abolition of
racing under the sanctions of the league.
Potter's argument is that the control of
cycle racing should be Ill the hands of
some other body because nine-tenths of
the league members care practically
noGhing for racing. No one joins on ac-
count of racing. 1t is for the advantage in
the way of special hotel rates, the good
roads movement, the free maps, guide
books. etc., that the league exists. ONLY
because of these it is able to exist When
asked what body he thought should CON
troll the racing, Potter replied that the
Amateur Athletic Union was the proper
one.

Thurs day afternoon at about 3 o'clock he or dered drink in company with friend, in Madden's saloon, and remarked to his companion that this would be the last drink they would ever take together. He was not intoxicated at the time. and had not been drinking much before dur the day. Shortly afterward, he went upstairs into 8 sitting room of the saloon, took chair beside table, and was found later, sitting with his head on his arms which were folded on the table. Drs Wood and Vile were sent for and labored over him, but were unable to save him. MT Burr was son of Uriah Burr of this town, long since dead. He is survived by several brothers, Dwight Burr of Monroe, E. P. Burr and a half brother, John Brewster of Birmingham. A sister, Mrs Frank Hine of Bethel, and half sister, Mrs Wheeler of Monroe, also survive him. Mir Burr had passed the entire span of his life, 37 years, in Newtown, with the exception of the last year or so, when he was engaged in the meat business in Bethel. He had been employed in the capacity of bar tender at different times at both hotels. MT Burr was man of generous disposition, and had many friends. His funeral was attended on Tuesday from the home of his sister in Bethel. Among those from Newtown who attended the funeral were John H. Blackman, Edward Troy, John Hubbell, John Sheehan and William H. Glover.

The remains of MT Stetson of Easton were laid to rest in Lawn cemetery, Mon- day afternoon. The interment was to have taken place. Saturday, the 2d, but owing to the badly drifted roads they were unable to get here. Seldom do we have two interments in one cemetery in a day.
 A force of men and teams were out Sunday, opening the road to Shelton. The recent blizzard is considered by all people in this vicinity more severe than the one in March, 1888; only at that time the fall of snow was much greater. H. D. Shelton had COW fall on the ice about February and was so injured that it had to be killed. Several papers have an article in print in regard to an attempt at suicide by Horace Graves of the Center. When the sensational part of the story is taken away and the true facts in the case are found out, there was no real attempt at suicide nor attempt to shoot his wife by MT Graves; only by threats and angry words it is said to be true that MT Graves did make little scratch on himself, enough to draw blood, but only to scare his wife. The whole episode was a do- nestle broil and Mrs Graves has gone to her home in Kent and MT Graves to Wells Hollow, where each will wait for the clouds of discord to roll away.
