South Wilson Street Resident Makes
 an Appeal for Protection.
 The following communication has been received at the Democrat office from prominent resident of South Wilson street extension:
 Editor of the Democrat:-I am a constant reader of your paper and wish to state through your columns that we have q pretty slick gang of thieves i'll this neighborhood. They operate day and night and noth- ing is safe that they can get their hands on, that is, pro- vided it is of any use to them, and things that can be of no appreciable benefit to them are carried away out of pure cussedness. While I was up- town the other day the gang entered my coop and stole two of my best chickens. I would not have taken $4 for the birds. Then they tried to coax my dog to follow them and when he refused they stole his collar and then threw stones at him. This was bad enough, but it was a small offense compared with the devilment they cut up in my house from time to time when they get us all out. To make q long story short. MT Editor, they strip the place of everything that they think they can get cent for, It is shame that we have no police pro- tection. have to pay city taxes, but l receive nothing in return for my money. The gang is composed of two crowds, One works during the night time and the other is ever on the alert l from sunrise until dusk. If you will kindly publish this article it might help me and others, too. **

Sustains the Judgment of Superior
 Court in Several Cases
 The supreme court, for the present, goes out of business to-day. Besides the Makepeace versus the city case, in which decision was handed down yes terday. the cases of William Brennan against the Berlin Iron Bridge com pany, and the New Haven Trust com pany, receiver, against John B. Do- herty. were disposed of also. In the first case the decision of the superior court is sustained Brennan received injuries while in the employ of the de- fendant at the Malleable Iron works in Union City seven years ago. He lost a portion of his right leg in con- sequence. In the last trial in the su- perior court he was awarded damages of $3,000. From this the defendant appealed. The supreme court finds no error and thus the case is disposed of.
 The judgment of the superior court in the cases of the New Haven Trust company against John B. Doherty. Lewis A. Platt ct al for unpaid stock in the Connecticut Indemnity associ- ation is sustained. In the first, judg- ment for the plaintiff for $19, ,S69. .33 was given. In the other case judg ment for the defendants was given and the plaintiff appealed. These eases grew out of the collapse of the Connecticut Indemnity association.

STATE BUSINESS MEN.
Meeting of the Directors of the Cor

Meeting of the Directors of the Con-
 necticut Association in Hartford.
 The directors of the Connecticut Business Mems association held their final meeting for the year in Hartford yesterday.s President Rufus H. Jackson presided There was consid- erable business to be acted upon be- fore the annual meeting of the associ- ation. on the 23d of this month, in Hartford. The following were in at tendance: Rufus H. Jackson, George 4. French and Dwight N. Hewes, Hartford; D. F. Fitzgerald, Water bury; r. T. Terry. Ansonia; Edward I. Atwater. New Haven; I. F. Hyatt, Meriden. and A. J. Cable, Bridgeport.
 The local associations of Bristol, Torrington and Manchester, organized during the year, were admitted to membership in the state association. These associations will be represent ed by delegates at the coming state meeting.
 The reports of President Jackson, Secretary George A. French of Hart ford. and Treasurer E. P. Fitzgerald of Waterbury were considered and the officers were complimented by the directors.
 At the meeting President Jackson announced that his name must not be considered at the coming election, for it will be impossible for him to accept reelection for another term. His duties as business manager of the Hartford Times demand his entire time, and he feels that he must with draw from active work in the state association. This he does reluctant ly, after receiving so many requests from the directors and local associa' ! tions to accept another election and l pledging their support.

Rural Mail Routes Inspected.

Mr.. Peter II. Moore, of Washington,
ID. c., has been in the city since Tues
day inspecting the rural routes running
out from the Owosso Office. On Tues
day with Postmaster Dewey he drove
over the greater part OF routes Nos. A
and 8, and has been making the trips
over the others with the carriers since.
Wednesday he went over the south half
of route No. l with the carrier Mr..
John Sprague, the first carrier appoint
ed in the county and one of the very
few in the entire service who began
when the salary was but three hundred
dollars per year and has successfully
performed the duties of the service con-
tinuously since that time. Route 3 was
inspected yesterday and No. 2, the one
until recently served by Carrier David
b. Green, is being inspected today.
Mr.. Moore made number of very help
full suggestions to the carriers and in
formed those with whom he talked on
the subject that he was positive that
there was not another post office in the
country that had five rural routes
which handled so many pieces of mail
matter each month as the five Owosso
routes. He also complimented the
Owosso Office on the character of the
rural carriers whom he said he found
decidedly above the average. The visit
OF Mr.. Moore therefore proved not only
a profitable one for the rural service
but pleasant one for all who came in
contact with the genial but thorough
going inspector. Mr. Moore is Inspec-
tor at Large for the United States and
in all probability will visit nearly every
state in the union within the next few
months

Death of David 3. Green.

David Is. Green, Rural Carrier on
Route No. 2, running out OF the
Owosso Office, died at his home on
North Hickory street, Saturday short
ly after noon. He had been sick but
a short time, the beginning Of his i'll
ness coming from the fact OF his vac
cination and subsequently catching a
cold which produced other complica-
tions. Probably a kidney trouble OF
long standing had much to do With his
fatal illness and helped cause kind
OF paralysis or muscular rheumatism.
1t was undoubtedly the latter, which
extended to his heart, that caused his
death. He was sick only about a
week. The funeral services were held
at the house on North Hickory street
Tuesday afternoon, the g A. r., OF
which body he was member, and the
post Office force, including both rural
and city carriers and the clerical
force OF the office, each attending in a
body. The services were conducted
under the auspices of the former body.
Rev. j. Z. Warner, of the First N. e
church, assisted by Rev. Frank ).
Lyon, of the Baptist church, con-
Quoted the services. The body was
afterwards placed in the vault at Oak
Hill cemetery to await burial later on.
David B. Green was born in New
Jersey in 1840. In 1862 he was in
Michigan and enlisted with the 4th
Michigan cavalry, serving in Company
K Of the same throughout the war.
1t was bis company which furnished
the detail that captured Jefferson
Davis and he himself was one of the
detail and assisted personally in the
capture Of the noted prisoner. AL
though passing through the entire
war he never received wound nor
was obliged to be in the hospital at
any time. He was mustered out of
the service In July, 1865.
Mr.. Green was a resident of Middle.
bury township for many years, living
on farm there. During all OF his
residence there he was one of the
most prominent residents of the town
ship and was as well one of the
most prominent republican workers.
After moving to this city few years
since on account Of health which pre-
vented him from caring on the heavier
work of farm life, he was appointed
rural mail carrier on Route No. 2
which he continued to serve to the
satisfactiC of both patrons
and post Office officials up to the ILL
ness which caused his death.
Mr.. Green was OF quiet, unassum-
ing disposition and favorite among
his associates everywhere. At the
post office he had made himself great.
ly liked by his devotion TO duty and
his regard for the rights and feelings
Of others with whom he came in con.
tact. The floral offerings from the
rural carriers and the one from the
rest of the post office force as well as
those from the other bodies and
friends were fine but were but slight
Indications OF the esteem In which he
was held by all of his associates.

template ball later in the winter, will
not make 1t the occasion Of presenting
their daughters but rather as return
for the courtesies they may receive.
One of the handsomest buds of the
senatorial circle will be Miss Anna Ew-
ing Cockrell, youngest daughter of Sen
ator Cockrell of Missouri, who recently
returned from three years study in
Paris, where she was pupil of the
Convent of the Sacred Heart, in which
institution her elder sister, Miss Marion
Cockrell, was educated.
Miss Anna, who has exquisite fea-
lures and particularly fine eyes, is
likely to be as much admired in society
as her sister Marion, who is couple OF
years older. Miss Marion is considered
one of the handsomest young women
that have "come OUT at the capital
within the memory of the present gen
sration. Both girls are tall and hand
some blonds.
While there are no debutantes in the
cabinet or supreme court families or in
the diplomatic corps, there are several
charming girls in these sets who have
already made their entrance into so

cabinet circle is Miss Flora Wilson,
daughter of the secretary of agricul.
ture. She has just returned to Wash
ington after quite an extended bit OF
touring. During Miss Wilson's absence
from the capital she paid visit to Mrs
Mckinley, wife of the late president at

been great favorite and regarded al
most as a daughter.

FRENCH PARLIAMENT
CEREMONY OF OPENING THE CHAM.
ssR OF DEPUTIES.

Aonsrchicai Customs stiII Observed
In the Republic PerauIsite. of
some Cabinet Members-M. Combe.,
the French Premier,
The opening Of the French chamber
OF deputies, always interesting as a
spectacle, attracted unusual attention
at the recent reassembling by reason
OF the troubles in France during the
past summer caused by the enforce
ment Of what is called the associate
law.
Premier Jean Louis Combes who
succeeded NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau as
prime minister few months ago, is
held responsible for the enforcement
or the law, which is aimed TO bring
certain orders of the Catholic church
under government control or to dis
perse the congregations. In this Pre-
mier Combes has the support of the
majority of the deputies, and the coun.
try at large by the last general election
and by the resolutions recently adopted
with an overwhelming majority of de-
partmental legislatures is committed
to the same policy.
The opponents of the law have been
clamoring for the return of NJ. Wal
deck Rosseau TO the head of the cab
met, but it is unlikely that they will
prove strong enough to cause the down.
fall of Premier Combes.
DR.. Combes is a man of wealth and
great mental force. He has been active
In politics since 1876 and is what is
known as progressive Republican in
politics. He was formerly vice presi-
dent of the French senate.
Before he entered politics DR..
Combes, who is sixty-two years of age,
had amassed fortune in business.
When he made his first race for mem.
bership in the chamber he had Il hard
fight to secure his seat, but triumphed
over his difficulties. Since then he has
been prominent figure in the cham
Der and the senate and has made many
friends in both bodies

mony which pertain to monarchies
still clings to the opening of the French
