OVER JUDGE PLATT'S HEAD THE ADVANCE OF MOVES That He Will Succeed to Judge Townsend's Seat
 Seems Certain.
Special to Journal and courier)

Special to Journal and Courier.)
 Hartford, June 10.-The agreement of Senttors Bulkeey and Brandegee to advance Judge Moves, of the New Lon don court of common pleas, over the head of Judge Platt, of the United States district court, to the late Judge Townsend's place, is accepted as foregone conclusion. Though the friends of Judge Platt resent in being side tracked for the law partner of Senator Brandegee, they appear to be powerless to prevent the continuation of the pro- gramme.
 This condition stimulates interest in the vacancy in the New London court of common pleas. It is believed that the choice of Senator Brandegee and his friends for Judge Moves successor is Senator Charles B. Waller, who though republican, is a son of former Governor Thomas M. Waller "the little giant of Connecticut" While Governor Waller would gladly note the advance

 In the meantime the friends of the Hon. Gardner Greene, of Norwich, are active in his behalf. He is an able lawyer, and, in addition to having served in the deadlock legislature of 1891, was a member of the commission charged with the revision of the gen. eral statutes. Governor Woodruff has given no intimation of his official pref erence, though the packers of Senator Waller seem confident of his appoint ment, if President Roosevelt appoints Judge Moves to succeed the late Judge w.

OYSTER HEARING.
Thompson, Homan and Blakcslee Favor
 Mapping of Grounds.

Mapping Of Grounds,
 Hartford, June 10.-Before the conn- mittee on fisheries and game this aft ernoon two bills of considerable im- portance to the oyster growers were discussed. One provided for the seizure of any one trespassing on oyster beds and grew out of the famous Grey hound" case recently settled by the su- preme court of the state. The bill was favored by Clerk Perry of the shell fish commission, Henry c. Rowe of New Haven and no one opposed 1t.
 The other bill provided for the map ping of oyster grounds not owned by the state, in New Haven and Orange. Senators Thompson, Homan and Blak- sele spoke in favor of the bill. Mir Rowe favored mapping of all oyster beds but thought that the proposed bill would change the line of jurisdiction so that it would establish a precedent which might work harm to several dealers. The expense incurred by the proposed mapping will have to be borne by the towns of New Haven and Orange

cial request, of the Carnegie institu- tion at Washington.
 The events of commencement week closed with the regular commencement day exercises, which were held in Ware Memorial chapel with an i'm mense audience in attendance, several hundred persons being unable to gain an entrance. The exercises were of a high grade and exceedingly interesting the orations of the graduating classes showing a marked advance in sound knowledge and it's practical applica- ton to actual life, while those utter ances which bore upon racial pro blems were sane and conservative. The singing, which was rendered by a well trained chorus of students of both sexes, included not only classical selections, but also two of the old time" pieces, which were given with exquisite effect.
 The commencement oration deliver ed by the Rev. Quincy Ewing of Ma poleonville, La, was noble and insplr- ing in the highest degree, both in sen timent and in the impassioned elo- quence with which 1t was delivered, making an impression on his hearers which will doubtless never be alto gether effaced,

DAVIS TOO SLOW
 FOR TIE BISHOP
(continued from First Page.)

swear that he is innocent of any con spiracy and that he has done what he has done guided, he believes, by God, for the best. The one great fault that I have to find with my race is too many of them forget their obligations when anything irksome comes up."
 The bishops remarks met with some applause from the people present. He then read the appointments.
 After the reception Bishop Walter was seen by a reporter and consented to give out the following statement:
 At the morning session (Monday) of the conference, Rev. J. W. Davis, for church, this city, rendered his resigna- tion from the church and conference, which by unanimous vote was accepted.
 "Rev. Davis was formerly a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in North Carolina, about five years ago he united with the Central North Carolina conference of the Zion A. M E. church, and was transferred to the New Eng land conference. and stationed at the Foote Street church, this city, where he has remained ever since.
 Tt was the purpose of Bishop Hood, the president of both conferences, to provide Rev. Davis with suitable ap- pointment, and as New Haven was ill need of man of his ability and energy, he was placed in charge of the Foote Street church, with the understanding that he would build the much needed church.
 Tt was thought that the church would be begun within five years.
 "The project not succeeding in the first three years of Rev. Davis pastor 4-A L. v,N1 tr kl1A Nl further prosecute the plans; falling to succeed in the fourth year. question as to the possibility of securing new church under Rev. Davis administra- tion was raised in the conference, and made the subject of long and animat ed debate, Rev. Davis assured the con ference that his plans would succeed in the future, whereby the bishop was induced to reappoint him. In the fifth year some progress was made towards the accomplishment of the work but in no way commensurate with the eN- peetations of the conference
 Bishop Hood at the present session of the conference informed Rev. Davis that was his intention to appoint hlm to a prominent charge in the New Hork conference, which has beautiful and commodious parsonage. To this prop osition Rev. Davis sternly objected, and notwithstanding his promise that ne would be governed by the rules anu laws of the A. M. D. Zion church, when he failed to induce the bishop to change his mind as to his removal. he there upon presented his resignation, stating that the bishop had been influenced by the presiding elder to remove him.
 After careful investigation we are convinced that the bishop was not in fiuenced by the presiding elder or any other person, but in this important matter acted on his own judgment We are of the opinion that Rev. Davis has been treated fairly by the bishop and conference.

THE MARION SEA SIDE HOME
the Lives Of Several
Children Have L2eM Saved
Should Be Encouraged.

One OF the most UcneEcial and
p~raisew9rthy institutions ill., this SET
ton, which should have the cordial
support of all citizens. is the recently
established Marion Sea Side Home fer
sick children on Wrightsville Beach.
The idea at first was to have a home
on the Beach for sick children OF
poor parents only, those who could not
afford to pay for any stay at the sea-
shore or for any treatment by ply
sicians. bat with generous help that
was unexpected which came before tce.
plans had been matured the scope or
the undertaking was widened and a
home was established not only for sick
poor children but for sick children OF
parents who are able to pay for the
services rendered and children of these
parents are taken in and cared for at
nominal prices. The idea is not to
make money in this way, for all he
funds raised from this source are used
entirely for the benefit Of the home
A feature Of the home. which is not
generally known, is that mothers,
tee, are allowed to accompany their
children to the home, and remain there
with them.
In conversation with a prominent
physician concerning the benefit al
ready derived. a Messenger reporter
was yesterday informed that the home
had already accomplished a great deal
of good and that undoubtedly the lives
of several children have been saved
by their being taken to the seashore
and given the benefit of the NURSING
and treatment provided.
A competent matrOn is in charge
of the institution and trained nurses
are always there, thus giving every as
surance that careful and skilled treat
ment will be given the infants placed
in their charge. Several children from
away from Wilmington have been TAX
en- to the Beach and cared for and
while these are accommodated, the
home is primarily for the children
OF this city. For parents who are M
able to pay. every expense is borne
even the cost OF transportation. To'
parents who are able 70 pay and desire
that their sick children shall have ad.
vantage of the fine privileges offered
the committee will accept money 70,
the rare of these infants.
The Marion Sea Side Home has man,
attractive advantages that should a.
peal with especial force to mother
and fathers. and in every way thu
undertaking should be endorsed al,
encouraged.

made to any member of the board o
