WATERT0WN J0TTINGS
Funeral of Miss Nellie Lynch Held
 Yesterday Afternoon.


 and from each place many friends came to pay the last tribute of respect to their deceased friend. The floral of ferings were numerous and very beau- tiful. After a short service at the church the procession moved to Mount St Jamess cemetery, where the re- mains were laid to rest. This was by the request of Miss Lynch when she felt that death was approaching. IL was her desire to be buried from the home of her brother-in-law Mir Me Gowan, and that her body should be laid in the new cemetery at WatertoWn. The pallbearers were cousins of the de ceased girl.
 The funeral of David Beardsley will be held from his late residence in Guernseytown tomorrow afternoon at o'clock. Rev ". T. Holmes will con- duct the funeral service. 1nterment at Evergreen cemetery. Had MT Boards ley lived until the 2d of June he would have been 90 years old. His wife, who survives him, has passed her S7th birthday. AIr and Mrs Beardsley en- joyed sixty years of married life to- gether. Death sewers the nearest and dearest ties and old and young must bow to the inexorable decree. For a man of 79 years of age, Henry G. Scott rather breaks the record. MT Scott has passed his 18th birthday. and if you had been obliged to call on him during the past few weeks you proba- bly, would have had to climb several ladders, felt your way along several narrow blanks put up as staging around some chimney before you could get close enough to shake hands with him. Mir Scott is a mason and brick layer and for some time past he has had all the work he could attend to laying over brick chimneys. Mir Scott never refuses contract to lay chim- neys or do any kind of work called for by his trade. He is hale and hearty and with the exception of periodical attacks of infiammatory rheumatism. he never has a days sickness. The Taft school base ball team won from Yale SS 1902, Saturday afternoon by a score of [ to 5. Taft's have inn proved greatly during the past two weeks. Saturday they played a good game. Cleveland, who pitched, held the visitors down to three hits. All through the game he Kept his head and showed good judgment, putting in just the balls which the batter didn't want.
 The citizens and soldiers meeting, held last Saturday evening, was rather poorly attended. There were two citi- zens and one soldier present. No busi- ness was done, but another meeting will be held in the near future, when it is hoped that there will be a better turnout of both citizens and soldiers. The committeee appointed to secure a speaker and music has made arrange ments with Father Slocum of Water bury to deliver the address on Memoir al day. drum corps from Waterbury will furnish the music. At the next meeting it is expected that the pro- gram for the day will be arranged.
 One who was present at the hearing before Judge Huntington in the probate court Saturday, when the case of Tru- man Smith, who applied to have his conseryator, MT Root of Milford re moved, which was decided in favor of MT Smith, sremarked that it would be hard to tell which was the most pleased, Mir Smith or Mir Root. Both seemed to be very well satisfied with the decision. Evidently Mir Smith was tired of having a conservator and MT Root was equally tired of having a ward.
 After being on the lookout for his ward for the past week Conseryator Edson B. Lockwood got track of him Saturday afternoon, and the said ward, Mir Bowers. stepped off the o'clock train from Torrington. MT Lockwood was waiting for him with a constable. Mr Bowers was turned over to the au- thorities of the Westport sanitarium yesterday noon with the injunction to be more careful in the future and to see that he did not make good his es- cape again.
