soon after 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
The deceased had been i'll about three
weeks from the effects of a paralytic
shock. He was attended through his
illness by Drs. Smith and Eliot. 1t was
apparent from the first that his case
was hopeless, and 1t was not believed he
would survive as long as he did. The
deceased was sixty-five years of age.
He leaves a widow, who was Miss Jen-
ME Bray, a sister of the late Judge
Charles S. Bray. He also leaves one
daughter, Mrs. Merwin Gray of Hart
ford. Mr.. Mallory during his business
life amassed a large fortune, but for
several years past has been retired
from active business. When a young
man he went to Baltimore with his
brother James F. Mallory, who died
about fifteen years ago. They engaged
in the oyster business and during the
rebellion it was a very profitable indus
try at Baltimore.
A few years after he had resigned
from the oyster business, which was
purchased by his brother, James NAL
lory, who sold out his interest and re-
turned to Fair Haven, where the BROTH
ers lived until James died, The late
Mr.. Mallory was quite wealthy, having
received the wealth of his father, Ger
ard Mallory, about 100000, and much
property, and when his brother James
died, he having left no heirs his fortune
also went to Lester. This amounted to
something about 100000 with property
and with the money he had made him.
self while in business amounted to a
snug fortune.
Always careful in his business ven
lures Lester Mallory invested his money
in gilt edge securities which are now
of more value than when he first in
vested. 81

The Rev. r. I'll. Divine Of Hartford
superintendent Of the Baptist mission
airy work of Connecticut. spoke yester-
day morning in the Grand avenue Bap-
fist church. He said the Connecticut
Baptist convention, which he represent
ed, was the total of the number of Bap-
fist church members in the state, bound
together. It's work was to assist in
preaching the gospel in rural commune
ties; to spy out the land and build up
missions and churches and to assist the
poor churches in building edifices. The
convention loaned money for this pur-
pose, and in this manner number of
churches had been built.
Another department is the work
among foreigners, said Mr.. Divine.
God is sending more than half a mill
lion of these peoples to our shores every
year. Are they to become the Iegiti-
mate plumber of the politician and the
schemer and thus make our country
worse? Shall we allow them to propa-
gate their peculiar customs here and we
do nothing for them? This mission
work among the Swedes Germans and
Italians is very promising. Last year
our state missions cost trifle less than
$1,000. There was in these dependent
fields an accession of fifty-six baptisms.
The membership of these dependent
churches is 1000. About one-fifth of
