Smyrna as frequent visitor to his
Delaware College friend. Cummins
E. Speakman at "Belmont Hail."
1ied suddenly Wednesday morning
last while playing tennis. He had
been contesting several sets with his
friend, James Lockwood, when lean

before physicians arrived. Deceased !
was the youngest son of the late
William and Mrs. Eliza Green, of
Middletown, whom together with
four brothers and one sister are
mourning his untimely death. He
was fine young man of most esti-

to wide circle of friends and ac-
uuaintances. Mr.. Green was a
graduate of Delaware College, and
a member of several of the fratern-
tiles at his Alma Mater. He was of
a studions bent of mind, and like his
gifted father before him, fond of
knowledge, especially of the practi-
cal sciences. He had been engaged
for a number of years before his sad
death in experimental biological re-
searches with view to discovering
some formula having a germicidal
action upon intestinal ferments es-
pecially in the colon. He mad e
numerous proves of his fOrmulae
upon various small animals, and his
friends believe that had his gentle
and useful life been spared to reach
the wonted span, his labors would
have resulted in some useful discov-
cries to science and humanity. He
was 80 years old and unmarried. His
mother and sister were on prOlong
