Beers as a place of public entertainment since about 1760; and until he retired from inn-keeping in ITS was the most prominent hostelry in New Ha- ven. Public dinners were held here frequently, and John Adams records that when he stopped there in 1774 on his way to the Continental Congress he talked of politics with MT Beers ? While Washington was a guest at this house he was aroused very early in the morning to review the company of one hundred and sixty Yale stud ents which had been formed, soon af- ter the battle of Lexington, to serve the cause of the United Colonies.

Lieutenant OF Police Frederick A. Ran
kin died at O'clock this morning at his
summer home at Camp White, Riverside,
after an illness OF ten days of pleurisy
and neuralgia OF the heart.
Lieut.. Rankin at the time of his death
was attached TO Station I. He was born
In Taunton, Mass, In lS4S, and when
young man learned the jewelers. trade
and came to this city TO reside. and was
appointed to the police force in 1874 on
Nov. 16. and was assigned to do duT
from the Central station, and In August,
1879. was appointed a sergeant. and was
assigned to Station 5. He was later
transferred to the Central station, and

ant. AS lieutenant he served at the Cen
trail station for some time. later was
transferred to Station 4, then to Station
3, and about three years ago was assign
ed to Station Z.
Lieut. Rankin won the esteem OF his
brother officers and his subordinates by
his kindly manner toward them and his
fairness to all. He was modest and un-
assuming. and had but little to say OF the
much good work he accomplished as one
of the city's guardians. One OF his most
notable pieces of work was I'm connection
with the arrest and conviction of spike
Murphy for the murder OF Waterman

TRIBUTES TO HIM.
When CHAIRMAN william III. I.uther OF
the police commission was seen today he
paid the following tribute to the dead
lieutenant: Lieut.. Rankin was a capa-
BILE, conscientious officer. He was not at
all popular with the elements which do
not like to see an officer perform his duty
and was shifted about from station to
station before the police commission came
into power. He was strong. however.
with those who admired an officer who
could perform his duty without fear or
favor"
Lieut.. Rankin was n good officer" said
Chief OF Police Patrick Egan .oday.
The lieutenant was marked for retire
ment on a pension by the board at Its
reorganization meeting last February. IL
was believed that his physical condition
was such that II would be better for him
and for the force IL he would take n well
earned rest. The lieutenant, however.
thought he was strong enough To continue
I'm harness and an examination by the
police surgeon. Dr Griffin. did not indi-
cate that he could not do effective work
IN the department. and the commissioners
did not carry out their intention OF re-
firing him.

mated In Germany, having for It's os-
tensible object the collection OF sigma

is Informed that the vatican regards
the movement as an attempt at a
real plot aiming at an extensive re-

TO schism.
The affair has caused a painful i'm
