IN A BITTER COMBAT.
Catbird and BIacksnalxe Fight for an Hour at Thomnston, Former Wins.

The employees of the Thomaston watch shop were treated to an unus- ual spectacle shortly before noon yes terday when a catbird and black snake over three feet in length, engaged in a duel in front of the factory and con- tinued their argument for nearly an hour, finally ceasing hostilities in a swamp some 200 yards from where they started.
 It was evident to the witnesses of the battle that the bird had the bet- ter of the fray from the beginning although his snakeship was game and showed a willingness to return the on- sIaught of his antagonist who seemed to delight in flying at the reptile and apparently accompanying every at- tack with a bite The snake finally took refuge In the swamp.

LEETE RETIRES FROM MECHANICS After Forty Years Service He Declines Reelection
 as Head of the
 Bank. 24 YEARS PRESIDENT William H. Douglass Re- fuses Offer of Position Owing to Lack of
 Time.
24 YEARS PRESIDENT

IA new chapter In the long and honor eble history of the Mechanics bank was made yesterday when after forty years service as an officer of this bank Charles s. 1eete declined a reelection as president of the institution, posi- tion he has held for the last twenty four years. MT. Leete notified his board of directors some weeks ago of his in- tention on account of increasing years to retire from his position as president On the formal announcement of his wishes at the meeting yesterday Will liam IT. Douglass, of the banks board of directors, was offered the preslden- cy to succeed MT. Leete but Mir. Doug lass declined the honor feeling that he had not the time to spare requisite for adequately filling the position. On ac- count of MT. Douglass action the meet ing was postponed until the directors can look around and agree upon suc- cessor to Mr. Leete.
 Mir. Leete does not sever his connec- ton with the bank, but remains with 1t as a director. He is still very busy man, being identified with various business enterprises besides being the head of the largest and oldest whole sale drug supply concern in this city or state, He first became a director of the Mechanics bank in July, 1863, and after serving fifteen years in this ca pacity was chosen vice president, hold ing this office one year and then being chosen president. When MT. Leete be- came president the banks quarters were in a handsome, substantial build ing on State street, with brown stone foundations and which was considered one of the model banking institutions of those days in New Haven. It's location was where F. D. Graves handsome cigar manufactory is now That loca- ton when the bank was built and for years afterward was in the center of the wholesale mercantile district of New Haven. Later the center of trade shifted to where 1t is to-day and the tsspk then removed to It's present quar- \, {. ss.ss.~.c-.,S
 For a long period John W. Fitch, father of the late ex-Mayor William Fitch and E. T. Fitch and grandfather of John B. Fitch president and treas urer of the w. & E. T. Fitch company, was president of the Mechanics bank. This was in the early 5O's, and under MT. Fitch's management the bank be- came noted for it's high character and standing which has continued to the present day Mir. Leete retires as pres ident of the bank with long and honorable record and though in the eighties he is still one of our most ac- tive and influential business men.
 As to whom the banks next presi- dent will be that is question which the banks directors will take time to decide One of the names mentioned for the position is s. Fred Strong, the banks able cashier, who is also city treasurer of New Haven. MT. Strong was with the Mechants' bank for years before becoming associated with the ! Mechanics bank.
