had few accidents While acting in his
capacity of conductor Toward the
latter part of his service he became
quite feeble and the officials of the road
feared that he would expose himself to
injury in getting on and off his trains.
For this reason he was retired from
active service seven years ago, but was
kept on the pay rolls of the company.
Since his retirement he had lived with
his daughter, Mrs. Cook in this city.

IT is stated that a ship dating from
the time of Columbus is still trading
between Spain and America. One Won

remains. The condition of the Anita

sembe that of the ancient sloop Lively
wrecked at Bacton, near Cromer, Eng
land, described as follows in the Whit
by Gazette. July, 1888: THE Lively was
built by Mr.. Spence in 1886, and is,
therefore, more than 100 years old, and
was the oldest Whttby built ship afloat.
We believe she had but one of her orig

ly rebuilt once or twice. Another an
cient ship was the Liberty, wrecked in
1850. 1t was built in Whitby, England.
in 1850, and was employed in the coal
and Baltic trades. The Russian adj
miral at Cronstadt inspected her in
1850, and expressed surprise at her age
and build, remarlling that he had com
manded a ship of 100 guns, but never a.
ship 100 years old.

MUST PAY ASSESSMENT.
Material Gain for Masonic Mutual
Benefit Association

Mate Gain for Masonic Mutual
Benefit Association
Secretary Chase of the defunct Ma
sonic Mutual Benefit associe ton, who
has been appointed temporary receiver
of the concern. said yesterday that as
sessment cards win be sent out to all
members of the association in good
standing this week. The assessment
will have to be paid under decision
rendered by Judge Shumway in the
superior court Friday afternoon. The
assessment was really due before
the appointment of the receiver and
the court finds that members will
have to pay. 1t is expected that the
decision will add materially to the
funds now in the hands of the re-
ceiver.
The application for the appointment
of temporary receiver was made in
the superior? court on the afternoon
of Tuesday, December II. The as
sessment should have been sent out
December 15 and the members would
ordinarily be allowed 30 days in which
to pay it. Consequently the assess
ment was really due two days before
the application was made for the APP
pointment of a receiver. When the as
sessment cards are sent out this week
they will be accompanied by a state
ment by the receiver explaining the
circumstances under which it was is-
sued.
There are about 1,7O0 members of
the association in good standing, some
of whom have paid their assessments.
1t is believed that large majority of
theo theirs will also pay. There Is no
i'll feeling existing among the mem
bers over the collapse of the associa-
ton and many have expressed a will
ingness to pay the assessments.
Secretary Chase says that nothing
definite has yet been done about or
ganizing a new association. Quite
number of members of the old organi-
cation have made inquiries at the Of
fee concerning the plans of those who
favor reorganization and stated that
they would probably join.

who was one of New Haven's prominent
business men for many years, will re-
greet to learn that he has been seriously
i'll for the past two months in the city
of Boston, where he has been residing

in the nature of a report from his ply
sician to Clan Mcleod No. 81, Order of
Scottish Clans. of this city, of which he
has been a member since its organiza-
ton, over fifteen years ago.
1t seems that the malady went to Mr..
McIntyre's eyes and for time it was
feared that he might lose his sight al
together. The latest report shows that
he is improving. but the doctor adds
that it will be some time before he will
be able to give any attention to bust
ness.
