WILLIAM COOLEY DEAD
Prominent Vermont Inventor Died Sud
denly Yesterday.

Waterbury, August 3.-Wm Cooley,
the well known inventor and manufact-
urer, died at his home here yesterday
from the effects Of shock. Mr.. Cooley
had been in his usual health and his
death was entirely unexpected. He leaves
a wife, five sons and two daughters,
all residing in this town.
Mr.. Cooley was perhaps the most
prominent man ia the state in his line
Of business and was widely known out
side Of tie state from his inventions.
He was born in Burlington in 1884, the
son Of Cassius and Nellie Cooley, but
spent nearly his whole life in Water
bury. He was president of the Cooley
Mig. Co., and had been for over thirty
years engaged in the foundry and ma
chine business here.
Among his most widely known inyen-
tions is the Cooley crealner, which has
had an extensive sale in the United
States as well as in foreign countries.
He was also the designer Of the Cooley
gasoline engine, which is now being man
ufaetured by that company. He has
added many improvements to this en-
CINE, and the Cooley Mfg Go. has made
an extensive market for them. Besides
these two he made many minor inyen-
tons and improvements which are wide.
~ known in the mechanical world.
Mr.. Cooley was well up in his pro-
fession, being constant student, pre-
ferring to devote his time to the in
vestigation in the sciences rather than
to society or politics. He was said
to have been one Of the best read men
in his line Of work in this section. His
death will be more than local loss.
The funeral will be held from his late
home on Randall street at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon.

OVERLOADED WITH SCANDAL RI
MORS.

0m state insane asylum suffers too
much already from stories which, um-
fortunately, are founded on fact, to be
made the bull's-eye for malicious shots
which by farfetched reasoning can
scarcely be laid at the door Of the in
stitution. The story that the governor
had requested the resignation Of the SUI
perintendent's private stenographer" be-
cause OF the woman's condition was a
shot aimed at the integrity Of the IN.
stitution through its officials. While
prompt steps we're taken to deny the
sensational story in so far as the insti-
tuition was concerned, there win yet
he a great deal Of harm to the state
asylum. For the lie had too great a
start on the truth to be completely run
down.
