 A WOMAN is under sentence of death in New York state. This has been the case before, and as general thing these wo- men have died natural deaths, if they are not yet living. The usurpation of manly privileges by the new woman do not ex- tend to the privilege of dying the death deel eed to the male murderers. Man will continue to retain the monopoly of the privilege of being hung, electrocuted, shot on the field of battle, and standing up in the trolley cars.
 THE long contest over the receivership of the Natchaug Silk Go. of Willimantic terminated Tuesday in the appointment of James E. Hayden as permanent re- ceiver, by Judge Shumway of the superior court. Last April the Silk Go. was placed in the hands of MT. Hayden as temporary receiver. The Co. had assets of several hundred thousand dollars, but was very heavily indebted, owing the First Nation al Bank that had failed about $500, ,000, and large sums outside. The bank op- posed the retention of MT. Hayden as re- ceiver, and several hearings have been held. All the financial troubles Willi- mantle is passing through are charged to the Natchaug Silk Co.,, and numberless law suits in several states, involving large amounts, have been brought against it. The retention of MT. Hayden as perma- nent receiver means the immediate ad- iustment of it's affairs, and the beginning of the end of the financial tangles of the city. The final outcome of the contest was the result of amicable conferences between the lawyers. The failed bank represented by Lynde Harrison of New Haven, Perkins & Perkins of Hartford, and Solomon Lucas of Norwich; Charles Willimantic were the attorneys for MT. Hayden. It is expected that the Natchaug Silk Go. will pay fifty per cent. to it's creditors, and it is very largely to that dividend that the depositors of the de- funct bank must look for their money.
