DIVISION OF DIOCESE
 IS NOT ADVOCATED.
Following a Debate Only One Vote Favored Dividing Present Episcopal Diocese.

Members of the Brooks club of Trinity church. New Haven, after discussion, Monday night, voted that it would be for the best interests of the Episcopal church in this state, to keep the present diocese intact. Only one voice favored 9 division of the diocese.
 The question debated was as fol- lows: "That it Is for the best inter- ests of the church in Connecticut that the diocese be divided"
 Those who spoke on the question were Rev MT. Miller, for the affirma- tive, Arthur c. Graves for the nega- tive; Judge A. Heaton Robertson for the affirmative and Rev. c. s. Scoville for the negative.
 Various members present made few remarks, following MT. Scoville, after which the judges, David Dag gett. William B. Fitch and Arthur w. Earle, went into executive session. After due consideration they announce ed that from the arguments advanced they had come to the conclusion that for the spiritual duties it would be better to have two bishops than one. and from the executive side of the ar- gument one head would be better. A. Heaton Robertson then moved that vote be taken among the members of the club on the matter and all but one voted in the negative.

Funeral Services of Miss Mary Gra- ham--ReW pr. Howe Revews Her Eventful Life of 106 Years.

The funeral of Miss Mary Graham was held at the Sheltering Arms at 2.30 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. Dr. 5. H. Howe conducted the service. Aft CT reading the scripture selections. he said: There is not one present, I imagine, who has before stood at the close of so long a life. By a margin of three years our friends escaped liv- ing in three centuries.
 There was the most wonderful pro- cession of human events during her life. When a child of 12 years in the north of Ireland she heard the news of the battle of Waterloo. She was 6 years older than Gladstone, Tennyson or Lincoln. She lived through the golden age of Byron, Wordsworth and Shelley.
 There were wonderful inventions and great progress in the arts and sciences. When she was born our nation was but few states on the Atlantic coast, a forest west of the Alleghanies; Fulton had not sailed up the Hudson; Jeffer- son was president.
 When she was born there was no such institution as this in America. Not single hospital There has been a wonderful development of philan- thropy in this one lifetime.
 She was one who observed the laws of health, and SO was able to with stand the Ills of old age. We do hom- age and honor to a life libe this. She was able to meet the responsibilities of middle life. to withstand the infirm- ity of later life. to pass beyond, and to give a good account of herself through all
 She drew the affection and interest of those about her to herself We must believe that a nobler life is before her.
 Prayer followed. Mrs Charles Tyler Bard sang Nearer, My God, to Thee" also '1 Will Sing You 6 Song of That Beautiful Land"
 There were many choice flowers. Burial was in Yantic cemetery, where com1nittal service was read at 1be

 This completed the testimony for the plaintiff, and Attorney Perkins rested. Attorney Kenealy for the de- fendant company moved for a non- suit. This motion was argued by the attorneys. At the completion of the arguments Judge Reed granted the motion.
 It is, understood that the case of Marion. adm. vs. the Connecticut com pany, in which the judge directed the verdict. and the case of Howie, adn1x., vs. the New England Navigation com pany, in which verdict of s4,000 was secured and the judge decided he would set aside the verdict and order a new trial on damages unless all but $1 ,0o0 was remitted, will be taken to the supreme court.
 On Monday the, injunction case of the New Haven road vs. the city of New London was settled. after a meet ing Of counsel interested. Corporation Counsel Brennan of New London on Tuesday said regarding the settlement that the railroad company will with draw it's suit. The city agrees to pro- tect railroad property while the sewer is being built. The railroad company is held free from all damages on ac- count of any negligence on the part of the city. The railroad company by entering into this agreement does not admit that Maple avenue, where it crosses the railroad, is not a high way.
 The railroad company will not ad- init that Maple avenue is a public highway. while MT. Brennans conten- tion is that it is such and has been for so many years that there is no record of any previous claim to it's being railroad property. There is a record of the deeding of the street to the city, but this is ancient and it's terms do not define the boundaries plainly.
 New London city officials see in the injunction an attempt to establish the ownership of the crossing at Maple avenue by the railroad.
