BRUNSWICK man DYING;
MAY HAVE TRIED SUICIDE
v. B. Lee is Discovered
With Bullet in Head

Brunswick, Ga, July NV. B. Lea,
a we'll known and prominent citizen o.
Brunswick is lying at his home IN
what is thought to be a dying condi-
ton as the result of an attempt at
suicide early this morning.
The act of Mr.. Lee came as a great
shock and surprise to the people of
this city generally. He retired earlier
than usual last night and slept well
About o'clock this morning members
of the family heard the shot, but little
thought that it was in the house. La
ter when Mrs. Lee went to call her
husband to breakfast, he was found
lying in bed, bullet in his head and
the weapon lying beside him Phys.-
clans were at once summoned, but
announced that there was practically
no hope for his recovery.
Though conscious for an hour after
the shooting, Mr.. Lee never once re-
ferred to it, but only complained of 4
pain in the head. No reason whatever
can be assigned for the act The gen.
eral belief is that he was suffering
from temporary insanity.
Mr.. Lee has resided here for many
years and was cashier of the Mutual
Light and Water company, a prominent
Elk and club man and popular among
the people of the city generally.

Death of Mrs. Elizabeth B. Ives Fol- lows Brief Ilness-Rev. George H.. Ewing Breaches on Christian Unity Meeting of Rural Association Offi- cers.

The news of the death of Mrs. Elfz- abeth B. Ives, which occurred Sunday noon at the home of Miss Helen M Lathrop on Washington street came as shock to her many friends. She had been i'll week and her recoV- cry had been hoped for. Sheswas born near Norfolk, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. John H. Welch. She afterwards lived in Hartford. In 1871 she was graduated from Mt Holyoke college and taught in Hartford from 1873 to 1878. Her marriage with Ellsworth Dayton Ives of Norfolk took place in 1878 and after that her home was in Norfolk
 The death of her husband occurred in 1903.- Four years later Mrs Ives came to Norwich at matron at the Sheltering Arms where she won many friends by her cheery, forceful per sonality. She made the home a hap py one and was instrumental in adding to the comfort of the household in many ways. While here she joined the Eastern Connecticut Mt. Holyoke Alumnae association.
 In her capacity as matron at the Sheltering Arms Mrs Ives gave four years of her service which is spoken of as highly satisfactory and effective by those connected with the home. She won the hearts of all the patients and had the perfect confidence of the com mittee who understood the circum- stances.
 Upon leaving the Sheltering Arms a year ago she made her home on Washington street. having a strong att tachment to Norwich and those here whom she had met.
 Surviving her are three sisters. Mrs. Andrew F. Gates and Mrs. Philip E. Curtis of Hartford, Mrs. George B. Harrison of Lakeville and a brother, John Welch of Washington, D. C.. also nine nieces and nephews.

TEACHERS WILL WORK
 AGAIN FOR PENSIONS.
Vote on State Association-s. p. Will lard of Colchester Elected Corre- spending Secretary.

The business session of the Connec- ticut Teachers association at New Ha- ven, on Saturday, adopted a resoIu- tlon commenting the fidelity to and performance of duty of the teachers in the Manchester school, which burn ed that week and from which over 1000 children filed without injury or loss of a single life.
 The system of fire drills and the manner in which the system was car rled out, the resolution states, re- fleets credit upon the teachers and inc meeting voted to send a copy of the resolution to the teachers themselves.
 An appropriation of $100 to carry on the fight for 8 pension system was approved, as was the system of voca- tlonal training now in vogue, and everything went through in short or thanking the New Haven railroad. That was not incorporated in the re- port at first reading, and when it was brought up President Pettibone said: T think such a resolution should be incorporated, as it was. last year, and the road is a little more in need of it than it was before"
 Yes" added another, f'they ought to be thanked just as much as the churches who took our s10 for letting us get in" The resolution was prompt ly incorporated
 In the report on teachers pensions the chairman told of the troubles in the legislature last year, which end- ed in the bill not being signed by the governor. Here endeth the third or fourth attempt" said the speaker.
 We have been handicapped by a divergence of views on the kind of pensions sought for. There is a diff ference between the adherents of a system by which the state appro- prlates the amount and the other in which the teachers themselves con- tribute, As the bill was reported it was ridiculous and we drew several amendments which Senator IsbelI agreed to, but Governor Baldwin ve- toed it because he did not wish to in crease the state tax"
 The officers for the coming year were chosen as follows:
 President, H. I. Mathewson, Mill ford; first vice president, Elizabeth T. Cairns Hartford: second vice presi- dent, T. H. Patterson, Bristol: re- cording secretary, William E. Parker, Portland; assistant recording secre- tary, M. Rachel Webster New Haven; corresponding secretary, s. P. Willard Colchester: treasurer, E. B. Sellew, Thompsonville; auditor, L. H.

NORWICH BRIDAL PARTY
 OUTWITTED PURSUERS.
Hid in Road at Witch Hazel Mill to Repair Auto-TraveIed Fast to NeW London.

A Norwich bridal party which left this city for New London one evening last week to catch a train there, pur- sued by others of the wedding guests also in an automobile, made record time between the Witch Hazel mill and the New London station in order to catch their train, after they had been held up on the road by a blowout, and also cleyerly dodged their pursuers while they were halted for repairs.
 The newly carried couple were MT. and Mrs A Edward Brodeur, and their plans to escape were interrupted by a blowout when at the Witch Hazel mill on the road to New London. Chauffeur George Gross drove the ma chine in on the side road at that point, the headlight was put out, blanket thrown over the taillight, and the bridegroom was posted up in the main road to keep a lookout for the pursu- CTS and give warning. Meanwhile re- pairs were started with the aid of pocket flashlights. When the workers got the signal that the pursuing auto- mobile was approaching,a all lights were put out so that the second automobile went by in the darkness without dis covering them
 When the bridal party's machine was ready to proceed again there were only about ten minutes left to make the remaining distance to New London of over seven and one-half miles They made it with a minute to spare, in which to buy the tickets and get on the train

Especial to The Rnllatin.l

Washington, Oct. 25.-The report of Milton Whitney, chief of the Bureau of Soils, of the department of agri culture, on the survey recently made or New London county, was made pub- lie today.
 The request for this survey signed by many prominent citizens of the county was endorsed and filed by for mer congressman Edwin w. Higgins during the last congress.
 Immigrants That Game Here.
 New London county, says the report like other sections of southern New England, was settled to very large extent by English people. and until about 1840 there were but few other 1850 to 1880 there was continuous influx of immigrants to the county, consisting for the most part of French and English Canadians, Irish, and smaller numbers from practically ev- cry European country. While they were attracted mainly to the mills and factories, a considerable number of the Irish, Poles, Sweeds and Germans have gone to the farms. The negro population is small and confined large ly to the cities. The foreign element is by far the most conspicuous in the manufacturing villages and cities, while on the farms and in the villages it is safe to say that at least 50 per cent of the population is English, the direct descendants of the early set tiers.
 The county was organized in 1766, but at that time extended beyond it's present limits, including several of the towns west of the Connecticut river
 Generally lilly and Rugged.
 Considered in general way the topography of the county would be classed as hilly and rugged, although there are considerable stretches of gently rolling country, and many Of the valleys Widened by the glacial flood waters, although lying at an in termediate elevation, include level to undulating land. Viewing the county from an elevated point, it appears as an uneven, hilly country without any orderly arrangement of the hills or val leys A very noticeable feature Is that here and there throughout the country are hills and ridges, usually rough and broken, which rise prominently above the intervening, more gently rolling areas. The ridges rise one af- ter another for 9 great distance, or until they appear as a continuous ridge forming the sky line and outline an extensive plane that no doubt existed in ancient geological times. Consid- ering this old plain in It's entirely it would have a gentle southeastward slope from an elevation of about 500 feet at the northwestern corner of the county to near sea level along the Sound.
 250 Years of Farming.
 The agricultural development of New London county dates back over 250 years There were some settlers in the area, before 1640, but they carried on an almost continuous warfare with the Indians and several years elapsed before much was done in the line of agriculture. The tendency of the pio- neers was to settle in small commu- mites on the ridges, partly on account of the better lands and more healthful conditions and partly no doubt, to protect themselves from the Indians. The communities formed the nucleus

 Got Aboard at New London.

 He was taken to a hospital, where proper nourishment and care was gdv- en him.
