McTNTYRE CREDITORS MEET.

An informal meeting of the creditors of Even Mcintyre & Co.,, whose peti- .tion in bankruptcy was filed in the United States court on Saturday last was held yesterday forenoon at the of- flee of Referee Henry G. Newton. There were present only representatives of the local creditors, who have claims amounting to $125,00O against the mer chant The meeting was held earlier than is usual, but the object was prin- cipally to ratify the appointment of Henry Norwell of the firm of Shepard &, Norwell of Boston, who was appoint ed temporarily by Referee Newton after MT. Mcintyre filed his petition. MT. Norwell Is satisfactory to the creditors and he will continue to serve until an appointment of a trustee is made, which will probably be done at the next meet ing. In the appointment of ap- praisers the creditors favored outsiders, and in compliance with the wishes of the creditors the referee named John IIislop of New London, Hugh c. Mur- ray of Willimantic and John Porteous of Norwich. In the event of any one of these men being unable to serve, Henry c. Bretzfelder of this city was agreed upon to act as one of the ap- praisers.

The occasion is this year made espec- ially interesting from the fact that there will be present to perform the impressive ceremony several of the old CT and most prominent members of the order. James Gallagher, one Of the earliest wardens, was appointed last spring deputy grand warden and the installation is therefore conducted by him. He has chosen to aid him in the work former Supreme Warden Lucius P. Deming who also was another of the early wardens of Elm Tree. and Deputy Grand Wardens P k. Whalen, J. J. Woster, w. c. Mcintosh. and c. H. Mercer. The list of officers elected last month for the ensuing year, which has been published, is strong one of very energetic members of the younger set and they will, without doubt appre- ciate the induction into office by the sturdy band of old time workers, that have earned the honors they now grace fully wear.
 Elm Tree numbers something over 800, being the largest lodge in the or der It is expected that many of the old time members will attend on Fri day evening to join in giving the new administration a good send off, The uniformed degree team will initiate several new members These interest ing events will call together a large at tendance, of course, but as always, the doors of old Elm Tree are open wide to every member of the order and cordial welcome awaits them.

GOUNOD REHEARSALS

The rehearsals of the Gounod society will be resumed on Monday evening, the Sth The use of chorus of boys' voices for the trio Lift Thine Eyes' will be a curious experiment. The boys will be chosen from the local choruses and they will sing from the wings and will not be visible to the au- dience. The idea is copied from tho big English festivals and it ought to prove successful if the requisite quali- ty of voice is forthcoming. Probably if good boys voice found the part of the youth will not me sung by the so- prano soloist. It may be remembered that when the "Eljah" was sung by the society some five or six years ago the part of the youth was sung by Walter Schneeloch, who sang that time in the Trinity choir.

Good Roads and Taxes.

No farmer wants to pay any more than a hard road Is worth to him. He would be fool if he did. But expert ence has proven, especially in the East, that good roads are worth to the land owner every cent paid for them. Of course the farm owner is not the only one benefited, and should not bear all the expense. Every foot of land in the towns and every inch of railroad in the township or county is enhanced in value by road improvement. And 1t is upon such property that the burden of taxes should fall.
 If the tax for good roads were justly distributed small proportion would be laid on farm land, because farm land is the least valuable.

State Attorney Williams made a statement to the court, reclting the story of the shooting, and said: Il am satisfied that no jury would commit the accused, and that there was no intent to kill, but only to frighten, when the &C., cused fired the shot. The young man IS penient and sorry, indeed, that he caus- ed the death of Webber."
 Where is the young man? asked Judge Roraback.
 He is here in court,' replied MT. Will Hams.
 Clark came forward and the judge in- quired his age and occupation. He then said: 'I approve of the recommenda- tion made by the state attorney, and l now declare you discharged"
