DASN AN9ACNuAy AA AAAS AAVAhu3 ahO A$S-
 tory, of Bethany Center--A Native of
 RranfOrd.
 Rev. Lewis F. Morris, rector of Christ church. Bethany, died at his home-the Rectory-in Bethany Center yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The news of his death came as a great shock to all who knew him. He had been in failing health for some time, and for the past two or three Sundays had not offioiated at the church. He was able to be about, however.
 Monday afternoon he was engaged in some heavy work, when blood vessel burst on the brain. A physician was summoned and every effort was made to remove the blood clot. but without result He died without regaining con- sclousness.
 Rev. MT. Morris was a native of Branford and came of an old colonial family of considerable prominence. He was educated at Amherst college and studied for the ministry of the Congre- gational church, graduating from a Congregational seminary. Shortly aft erwards he experienced a change of be- lief, and was admitted into the priest hood of the Episcopal church, in which he had served faithfully for the greater part of hls life, In his early priesthood he devoted himself to teaching in 8 large church school in Ossining, N. Y, then Sing Sing, and also preached at q church at Briar Cliff.
 Later Rev MT. Morris became rector of Christ church, Bethany where he remained for quite number of years. He then went to Oxford, and for sev- eral years was rector of St. Peters church, that place, and of Christ church, Quaker Farms. He was then called back to Bethany and accepted the summons. He was rector of Christ church, that place, for the second time for about six years.
 The news of Rev, MT. Norris death will be received With great regret by all who knew him. He was possessed of cheerful disposition and friendly manner, which won him a ready well come wherever he went. He was high ly esteemed by his brother clergy as a man thoroughly orthodox in the faith of the church of his choice. His many years in Oxford brought him In con- tact with many people of Seymour, by whom he was as generally known as if he had been resident of the town, and by whom he was held in high respect. He was 8 member of Castle Rock lodge, A. o. U. W.
 Rev Mir. Morris leaves a widow and one son, Lewis ", of Beacon Falls. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made.

SHERIFF A. B OUNHAM.
DRAMATICALLY DENIES RE-
 PORT OF WITHDRAWAL.

Is Still i'm the Race for the Shrievalty
 Candidacy--waterbur Story of Yes-
 terday.
 Sheriff A. B. Dunham when asked last night as to the truth of the story from yesterday afternoons Waterbury American given below, emphatically denied that he had withdrawn or was thinking of withdrawing from the race for the nomination of sheriff.
 The Waterbury story is as follows:
 At meeting of the political advisers of Sheriff A. B. Dunham of Seymour this afternoon it is expected that de- oisioh will be reached by which Sher- if DunhaHn will withdraw from the race for the nomination, leaving clear field open for County Commissioner Jacob D. Walter. Every bit of ground will be gone over carefully.
 Sheriff Dunham wild withdraw, it Is understood, only after he has secured the assurance of Commissioner Walter that the latter will look after certain of Dunham's friends punhan, 1t is said, will not ask that all his deputies through the county be reappointed by Walter, but will give him list of names of persons who have stuck to him, and will insist that Walter reap point these men. It is understood that most of these men are agreeable to Walter, and that the latter will make the reappointments,
 Not all of Dunham's deputies will be appointed, however. Dunham himself will not ask for It. A principal reason for this is said that Durham has found out that certain of his deputies, while protesting the greatest loyalty to him, have been going to Walter on the quiet. Walter Is said to be just as much disgusted with the tactics of these men as Dun,hanl, and they will get nothing from either candidate as matters stand now,
 Dunhan's deputies vii learn of the proposed withdrawal of their leader with sincere regret. They assert that he has been the best high sheriff that the county has ever had They say that DunllaHn has probably made less money on the job than any other man who held it, and that the fee system has never been abused while he was in of fee. Generosity in dealing out work to his deputies that he might just as we'll nave done himself, and thereby have secured the fees, has been a feature of Gis conduct, 1t is said, The deputies fear that his successor will not be so liberal
