THE MITCHELL --paRsoNs CASE.

Following IL c. ~ of the decision of
Judge Bradley of the Probate Court, in
the Mitchell Parsons case In the matter
of the petition of David M. Mitchell of
the town of Southbury, Connecticut,
executor of the estate of Elizur Mitchell,
deceased, praying this Court to cite
Charles NJ. Parsons, executor of the es-
tate of Nellie Il. Parsons, deceased, to
appear and submit to an examination on
oath as TO all the property owned by the
said Nellie f. Parsons at the time of her
decease.
IG appears that Nellie E Parsons died
on the 18th day of June, 1892, owing the
estate of Elizur Mitchell the sum of
$1,000 with ACKNOWLEDGMENT which money
consisted of note given by the said
Nellie e. Parsons to Elizur Mitchell
dated December 30, 1891, at four per
cent interest. On the 30Gh day of June,
1892, Charles NJ. Parsons duly qualified
as executor of the estate of said
Nellie +. Parsons and he returned to
said court as all the assets of said estate
only the SUM of $S9.56. The petitioner
AYERS that Charles M. Parsons as execu-
tor of the said estate fraudulently con-
cealed and sequestered property to the
value of more than $4,000 of real and per-
sonal estate and credits, and chooses
in action.
1t appears from the evidence given
this court that a deed from Charles M
Parsons 10 Nellie r. Parsons was given
January 2, 1886, which deed is recorded
in the land records of Newtown Vol. 81,
Page 1853, and it was not denied that the
said property did not belong to the said
Nellie +. Parsons at the time of her
death by the defence, and there being no
evidence to show that Nellie K. Parsons
ever decided said property from the time
it was decided to her to anybody, is sutfi-
cient evidence That said property belongs
to the estate of Nellie f. Parsons and
should have been accounted for by the
executor.
cannot understand why the executor
did not inventory the real estate of said
deceased unless it was for tie purpose
of defrauding the estate of Elizur Mitch
ell of the note of $1,000, which note was
allowed by the commissioner of the es
tate of Nellie E. Parsons with accured
interest and as yet has not been paid.
Therefore this court finds the allega-
tions as set forth in the application to be
true and it is ordered that Charles M
Parsons, executor of the estate ofsNellie
e. Parsons, be, and he is hereby ordered
to account upon the balance of the prop
erty of the said Nellie E. Parsons
within 30 days or be removed from his
said trust as executor aforesaid. Dated
ut NewtOwn this 20th day of September,

THE JUDsoN-CLARK NUPTIALs
A NOTABLE SOCIETY EVENT.

Trinity church, Thursday afternoon,
was the scene Of brilliant wedding,
when Miss Grace Lena, daughter of Mrs
Julia a. Judson, was united in marriage
Co Herbert sherman Clarke, formerly of
NeWtown but now in business at Meri-
den, Conn. The church had been beau
tifulIy decorated with palms and cut

an artistic appearance. The West End
Florists of Bridgeport furnished the dec
oTations. The bridal procession entered
the church promptly ut 4, the bride lean
ing on the arm of her uncle, DR. Monroe
Judson, who gave the bride away, and
they were preceded by Ushers, the brides
maids and the maid of honor. The party
entered to the music of Lohengrin's we'd
ding march and left the church to the
sweet strains of the wedding march from
Rubenstein's "Ferador,' the organ being
ably presided over by Prof G. 5. PIatt.
The bridal party were met at the chancel

ftAna nj nInE and XUhiFp The maid nf
honor was Miss NJ. Erminie Bronson of
Baltimore, Md, whose dress was of pale
primrose silk, the design being similar TO

a long stemmed rose, the maid OF honor
also carrying II white prayer book mark
ed with yellow rose, Harry King of Mer-
iden acted as best man and the ushers

gold pieces, checks, solid silverware, cut
glass and choice bric-a-brac, and with all
these tokens OF friendship go the hearth
est good wishes to Mr. and Mrs Clark for

DESERTED FARMHoUsEs AND WHAT THEY
MEAN.


The general Impression is that the
drift of life from the country into the
city is confined to the New England
States and that deserted farms are only
to be found here. A correspondent of
the New York Nation, under date of
November %, 1889, wrote; SIN rural dis
tricts in Wayne Country New York;
there are no less than 400 empty houses.
The town of Sodus alone has over so de-
serted houses and Huron has 30 or more. p"
The cities are great magnets of strong
power which are attracting the best
from the rural districts into them. This
means loss to the country, and especial
ly to the country church. How large a
problem it is will be brought out at the
Sunday evening service in the Congrega-
tional church, September %, at 7.30
o'clock. A question which comes so
close home must interest all. and cor
dial invitation to this meeting is given.
