Central Village, Conn, Dec 27.- Frank Brown. the coIored boy, years old, who was shot five weeks ago by his cousin, Willis Lambert, aged 15, died at the Day-Nimball hospital this morning, as the result of the wound re- ceived at that time. The bullet from the 22-calibre revolver, with which young Lambert was playing, entered Browns skull through the frontal bone and lodged in the brain. The surgeons were unable to locate the bullets eX- act position, but for many days after the shooting the child seemed to be doing well, and there were strong hopes that he would live. Infamma- tion set in later, however, and for some time the patient has been grow ing wPalTCT.'
 Lambert. who asserts that the shoot ing was purely accidental. is now bound over under a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. but it is eXncct- ed that. as a copG2nuence of the death of young Brown. the charge will be changed to manSlaughtcr.

THE PARSONS BANK CASE.
Court Has ordered That the Money Be Deposited to Draw Interest.

Be Deposited to Draw Interest.
 Judge George ". Wheeler of the su- perior court has again got after the receivers of the Parsons bank and or dered q settlement of the situation as soon as possible. During the hearing on the receivers last report, which was filed with the superior court some weeks before adjournment previous to Thanksgiving, Judge Wheeler reprOVed the receivers. Messrs H. $. Chase and J. r. Elton, for keeping the money be- longing to the deposttOrs in their pos session idle when it could have been earning interest for their benefit. The reply of the receivers was that they were not aware the law allowed inter- est on money held under such circum- stances, WheTeupOn the court quickly retorted that if they wished any such information as they evidently lacked he would gladly furnish it to them right there from the bench. This was such a "sockdOloger," so to speak, that the effect on the audience bore Q fla voraDIe comparison to the feeling called a sensation. The receivers were So much surprised at the readi- ness of the court to help them out of their evident difficult situation that the information volunteered was not asked for.
 The court has now ordered that the money belonging to the depOsitors in their possession be handed over to the custody of the Colonial Trust Co, whose headquarters are situated on Rank street, which concern will pay interest on it.
 Regarding the sale of the Church street property, one of the assets of the bank apd about which so much las been said and published, a request has hCln filed with the court to allow it to be sold at public auction next Friday Au offer of %i1.U0O for it has been re- ceiYed from Otis $. NOrthrOp.-
