dependents, were pitted against each
other and the Independents won by a
score OF 12.to} 3. The newness OF the

DEVELOPED
 WITH FATAL RESULTS.
New London Tailor Who Was Burned
 Dies in Hospital.

Nicola Converti. the New London tailor who was seriously burned last Friday morning when a bottle Of gaso- line which he had in his hand exploded, died Monday morning at Lawrence hospital, where he has been a patient. Couverti was more seriously burned than was at first thought and his death was not expected.
 Converti was burned about o'clock last Friday morning ad when he att tempted to make his escape from the building at the corner of States and Bank streets, where his tailor shop is located, he found himself locked in and trapped in the hallway of the building. When he was set free he was arms and head.
 At Lawrence hospital, where he was taken, his burns were not thought to be fatal and 1t was thought that he would recover. Friday he rested com fortably, but during Saturday he was in great pain. Saturday night he de- veloped pneumonia, indicating that he had swallowed some of the flames. It was thought that he would overcome the pneumonia, however. and it was not until Sunday night that his condi- ton was considered critical. During the night he became delirious and his death occurred at 5 o'clock Monday morning.
 Monday efforts to locate relatives and friends who would take charge of the body were fruitless. It was learned that he had no relatives or intimate friends in this country.
