GEORGE P. MARVIN.

George P. Marvin, one of the oldest residents of New Haven, and a man highly respected by all who knew him, died last night about 10 o'clock at his apartments, 96 Park street, of a gen. eral breaking down of health due to old age.
 Mir, Marvin was nearly eighty-n nine years of age, but remarkably well pre- served and active man for one of his years. He had, however been rapidly failing in health for the past few months and his death came not as the result of any disease, but of gradual wasting away, MT Marvin was at one time one of the best known busi- ness men in the city, and years ago was connected with the firm of Peck ham x Merwin, shirt manufacturers, whose place of business was at the corner of State and Court streets. At one time he was engaged in the mer- chant tailoring business.
 He leaves no near relatives He was twice married his first wife being Hannah Bulford, who died many years ago His second wife was Janet Peck. daughter of the late Wyllys Peck, and she died about three years ago
 Mir. Marvin was man of sterling character and was one of the oldest members of United church.

MAILING FORD.

There is much complaint among tn, many commuters in New Haven ant Wallingford because the early train go. ing north is so late every morning The train starts from Bridgeport anC is anywhere from five to thirty-five minutes late every morning. There is talk of sending in a petition to the railroad authorities asking that some thing be done to cause change in conditions. The new trains recently put on are a great convenience and the only complaint heard is because the morning train is late so much.

SCHLyY "COM MENT" IS MADE
(Continued from First Page.)

And, as showing Schley's own opin- ion of who was in command, they quote this passage from his dispatch of July 10, 1898, to the secretary of the navy.
 Feel some modification that the news paper accounts of July have attribut- ed victory of July almost entirely to
 me. Victory was secured by the forces under the command of the command er-in-chief of North Atlantic station, and to him the honor is due"
 Further, they quote Schey's letter of December 21, 1901, to Secretary Long, justifying the loop on the express ground that it was made "in the eXecu- tion of the standing order to close in" It is asked but if he was then himself in command how happened it that he was executing the orders of somebody else in command? Before the court of inquiry, every prop raised to support the contention that Commodore Schley did anything to achieve the victory by issuing orders as commanding officer of the American fleet was removed.
 'The plain truth was for the first time revealed that Commodore Schley did not exercise command on that day over any ship except to some extent, his own flagship the Brooklyn"
 The comment at this point contains a number of extracts from the testimony to sustain this contention Taking the Brooklyn's signal book, it is stated that this showed that the Brooklyn gave on- ly the two orders "clear for action and ''close UT"
 "A meagre record but it is the whole story"
 The commentators quote Lieutenant McCauley, the Brooklyn's signal officer that the first signal Clear ship for ac- tion,' was hoisted by him Ion my own hook"
 They assert that the fleet had been substantially cleared for action for over Q month, and that what remained to be done on board ship was not done in pursuance of this order.
 They quote Captain Clark to the ef- feet that it was a standing order on the Oregon, upon sighting the enemy Ito strike the alarm gongs for clearing ship for action," which they declare, was a standing order, and con sequently the Oregon did not act on sig nal from the Brooklyn.
 Other testimony is cited on this point, and then the order 'close up" is 
 The comment insists that this order was not seen by any ship other than the Oregon, unless, perhaps, the Texas, and that it exercised no influence what

BRTTAIN,S REPLY MADE,
Answer to Dutch Proposal for Boer Peace WilI Reach The Hague To day.

l
 London, Jan. 3o--Answering a ques- ton on the subject in the House of Commons to-day. the government lead CT, A. J. Balfour said that as the reply of the British government to the com munication of the government of the Netherlands oh the subject of the South African war would not reach The Hague until tomorrow it was impossi- ble for the British government to give the house the papers this week.
 In the meanwhile the Associated Press is able to confirm the statement that the government of the Netherlands suggested granting a safe conduct to a Dutch commission to be appointed for the purpose of conferring with the fighting burghers and enlightening them as to the real position of affairs.
 prints dispatch from The Hague in which the correspondent says he learns from a trustworthy source that the re- cent journey of the Dutch premier, Dr. Kuyper to England prepared the ground for peace negotiations in regard to South Africa, which were begun with the consent of the British government. He adds that the more recent step talk en by Holland was supported by some of the other governments. The corre- spondent of the Associated Press was informed in official quarters to-day that so far as known here Hollands action was quite spontaneous France was not consulted and Is not aware of the terms of the Dutch note
 Washington, Jan. 9O.-Nothing is known at the state department of the reported overtures for peace in South Africa which are now under discussion in England and Holland. It is learned that for some time unofficial inquiries have reached the department as to the part the United States might play in restoring peace, but these have never come from any properly authorized per- sons, and are believed to have emanat- ed principally from Boer agents.

 Moyle moved that the board recede from it's former action in adopting the continuing contract and concur with the councilmen in referring the whole contract matter to committee to con- siSt of the mayor, the corporation coun- sel, three councilmen to be elected by the board of councilmen and two alder men to be elected by the board of alder men, to hold public hearings and report back as soon as possible. Alderman Wallace seconded Mir. Moyle's motion and then Alderman Miller raised the point that MT. Moyle had not voted with the majority at the last meeting and consequently motion from him to recede could not be entertained. The point was sustained and then Alderman W. r. Walsh, who had voted with the majority at the previous meeting, then offered the motion which MT. Moy1e tried tu present.
 MT. Miller thought that the aldermen ought to recede and said that if mem bers had, when they voted for the adop- tion of the contract, been aware of facts which they are aware of to-day they would not have so voted. As this statement was made there was con- siderable litter of laughter among the large crowd of spectators about the sides of the chamber.
 MT. Miller asked that the motion to recede and concur be divided since he wanted to offer an amendment to the second part The motion was accord ingly divided and by rising vote the board voted to concur.

"~Edinoation."
A prominent Texas lawyer whose
palmy days were spent on the North
western frontier gives this passage
from a sermon delivered By Rev.
c. who once administered spir-
itual food to the cowboy of the plains;
Rev. G. was no advocate OF an
educated ministry. and In one of his
sermons delivered his views on that
subject in this wise.
MY friends, e%dihcation is no objec-
ton on itself. but it Is a rank and
smoking sin for servants Of the Lord
to waste years to get an ~edihcation
when every day and every mint the
devil needs roping and currying. As
your minister and Gods servant Il is
my duty to tell you the truth in its
working jeans, and I find that to do
that edidcation Is not needed in my
business. If you must have book edi-
h~cation, why pick It up while hoeing
and raking in the Lords vineyard, but
don't steal the Lords time to get It.
No, in the minister e~diication is not
needed at all to do the Lords work,
for He viii put the right words into
your mouth at the right time, and then
you can spit out blazing truth easier
and faster .than a hungry trout can
swallow minnows. Why. my friends,
time and again when 1 got warmed
up in the pulpit I have used words
that 1 never heard of before, and as
sOon as meetin' was over men, and
some Of them %edihcated, too, would
walk up and ask me: Brother, where
did you get them words?'"
