OBITUARY..

The death of Jonas r. Rice, promi-
nent and highly respected citizen of
Bridport, which occurred on the evening
of July "a, cast gloom over this commu-
nifty. Deceased had been in very feeble
health since last winter following an at
tack of the grip and to the immediate
family only, the end, which came sud
denly, was not great surprise. Heart
failure was the cause of death. Mr. Rice
was in complete possession of his mental
faculties up to the last and did some
business requiring clerical work not more
than an hour before his demise. The
funeral was largely attended from the
late residence on Thursday afternoon,
July 81, Rev. W. n. Bacon officiating,
assisted by the Rev. A. j. Pencil and
the Rev. Henry Lamb.
There was profusion of flowers.
Among these were beautiful floral pieces
from Morning Sun Lodge, No. ), Bird
port Grange, No. 303, Geo. S. Gale Post,
6. A. r., and from relatives and ad-
rades and members of the local G. A. R.
Piper and Goyett of Middlebury had
charge of the arrangements. The inter-
ment was in the village cemetery.
Among those present at the funeral from
out of town were Hon. G. j. Russell and
Mrs. Russell of Burlington, Chas. S.
Dana and Madam Dana of New Haven,
and Edmund Rice of New York. The
widow and one brother, Beebe T. Rice of
Middlebury are left of the immediate
family to mourn the loss.
Jonas r. Rice, deceased, was born in
Bridport little more than ~ years ago
on the farm three-fourths ola mile south
of the village where he resided the great
er part of his life. He was a veteran of
the civil war enlisting in Co. X, Vt. Vols
Cavalry, where he made for himself an
enviable record. He was, in turn, Lieut.,
Sergent, Chaplain, and at one time COM
manded his regiment. He was wounded
in the right leg at the battle of Gettys-
burg. This injury always caused him
trouble. Deceased had held many offices
in the gift of his town, being superin-
tendent of schools, constable and cOllec-
tor and justice of the peace and twice
was appointed by the U. S. census bureau
enumerator for Bridport.
Mr.. Rice was unusually well informed
kindly and affable and combining these
qualities the high esteem in which he
was held by all who were fortunate
enough to have made his acquaintance
is not astonishing. He was very active
throughout his life and he will be mucl
missed in the community of which he
was an interested factor.

been taken out and the placing of new
steel cells is well started. There will be

FRIDAY JANUARY ~ lO
Tho Waterbury Asylum Hearings.

The present trend of the inquiry
being made by the special investiga-
ting commission into the affairs of
the state hospital at Waterbury seems
to be toward the reason for the mark
ed increase In the per capita expense
Of the cost of each patient to the
state. Trustee Wing, In his testi-
mony. among other reasons, assigned
those OF better feeding. both as to
quality and variety, and better care
of the patients, and to increased
prices OF commodities DR.. Hutchln-
son, the superintendent, seems to
think the increase Is due to various
causes. The officers of the institu-
tons will be admitted to all hearings,
according to a decision of the COM
mission, and will be notified of all
proposed takings of dispositions or
evidence. The privilege of cross
questioning witnesses, also will be ac-
corded to the officers. The next ses-
sion of the commission will be held
at the state hospital In Waterbury
February 2. Attorney General Fits,
who has the investigation in charge,
will take evidence, in the form Of de-
positions and otherwise, prior to the
next meeting of the commission.
