‘ The auditorium and a large portion of
the lecture soon were crowded at the
evening sossiom which opened with the
singing of a hymn, the music be ag led
by the choir of the church. A piper on
"The Relation of the Historic Episoa'pste
to Churcb'Unity," was given by Profes-
sorGeorge P. Fisher. He spoke of the
nature of Episoopscy from the point of
view of an historian and Congregatiorw
list, pointing out specifically the practi-
cal steps which ths church could take to-
wsrdareel unity. The first step, Pro-
fessor Fisher said. was not in admitting
the Epinepecy to be essential to the be-
ing of the church, however valuable it
might be to its Well being, but in all
bodies sharing in Christian work.
He was followed by Rev. J. B. Clark,
managing secretary of the Connecticut
Home Missionary society, who, in an
able address and most interesting way,
told of the work of that branch.
After the singing of another hymn, the
annual sermon was preached by Rev. C
M. Lawson, of Hartford, whose theme
was “The Church’s Present Need and
Sphere of Activity." He spoke especial-
ly of the message of the spirit of God to
the churches. His chief thought was
that the Christian churches of today need
more than ever to deal with human
problems—the problems of employment
of labor, municipal government, saloon
evil and others. its equally greet and
always essential need is to apply the life
ofGod to these problems. The church
is tolreport God to the world, and it must
do this, the preacher said, both through
its wor‘ip, which is but only softened
tones and dimmed lights and other re
llgious luxuries, but the finest of the fine
arts, the expression of the soul toward
God in :farm; and through its creed,
which is not simply a statement of theo-
logical speculation, but a faithful inter-
pretation of what the spirit is saying to
the churchvs.
The church seldom. if ever, was so
beautifully decorated with flowers, as it
is at this conference. The palms and
cbrysanthemums are from Deacon E
Board's greenhouses, tastefully arranged
by the committee in charge, and make a
magnificent display.

ing the intent and substance of the law

ogy and hygiene, with special reference

The committee in charge served dinner

before Judge Downs, closed yesterday sf:
ternoon.
When the case was taken up at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, Oliver
Cook took the stand for the purpose of
being cross-examined by the defense.
Bis testimony showed that he did not be-
lieve the tract of land in dispute had
been a natural oyster bed since 1865; that
he had paid taxes on it evor since it had
been assigned to him: that he had
warned ad from it every boat that
dredged or attempted to dredge, on it;
that he had kept the beds buoyed and
watched; had planted them and brought
numerous suite in defense of his claims.
E. H. White, of Rowayton, was called
next. He had taken the disputed ground
and started to plant it on shares with
Mr. Cook. At the time he had heard of
the dispute about the bed. he tested it
to find out whether it was a natural bed
or not. He found that it was not. He
planted upwards of 2,000.bushels of shells
on the bed. He owns some ground near
this bed, and when asked whether or not
he said to David Crockett, at one time,
"It is a natural bed, but if it is going, I
want some of it," he testified um he did
not.
Richard J. Cuthill, of South Nor-walk,
was the next and last witness to be cali-
ed by the prosecution. He had bought
thousands of bushels of clams which had
come from the Rotoe Point and Fish Is.
land beds. He had been on the beds
himself and had caught seed oysters as
" late as 1871 or '72.
The prosecution rested at this point.
Theodore Lowndss, who had been men-
tioned as having applied for a part of the
bed to the Darien oyster committee, was
then called to the stand by the defense to
testify about it Mr. Cook, who was a
member of the committee at the time,
had told him that the bed had not laid
long enough." Mr. Lowndee testified
that Mr. Cook card to him, "it is natural
growth and you can‘t have it." This was
said by Mr. Cook the last year he ween
member of the committee.
Mr. Taylor, who was elected in Mr.
Cook's place the next year, also refused
to designate the ground to him. After
taking this evidence the defense rested
its case.
The arguments were heard in the after-
noon, beginning st 1 o'clock and continu-
ing until 5, each side being allowed two
hours. J. Belden Hurlbutt spoke first
for the prosecution, followed by Rumll
Frost and Judge Perry for the defense,
and Levi Warner concluding for the pro-
secution. All the claims on the fact and
law were made, and the ease submitted
to Judge Downs for decision, which will
be rendered next Monday.
Debate on Women Stillragr.
Quite an interesting meeting of the
Young Men‘s Debating club was held last
night at the home of Frank C. ltahdle.
in Winnipsuk. The subject which had
been solrctod for discusslon was on the
woman suffrage question, Mr. Randle
upholding with gallantry the cause of the
ledies,and Leo Davis arguing in the
negative. The question was thoroughly
discussed,and the arguments made by
both dispulants were well-chosen and to
the point. Mr. Davis was declared the
winner of the debate, and Mr. lisndle
received the majority vote on the ques-
tion of literary merit. The next regular
meeting will be held at the residence of
the secretary, Leo Davis, ill llayvlsw

DbCTOB ”OBSONS CRUSADE.
Ea Ciel-s There is a Waste of Life in
Connecticut.
Dr. Dobson, of Bethel, has started a
onuede against the State Board of
Health. He has issued a circular ad-
dressed ta the governor and legislators of
physicians and prominent men through-
out the stats and is attracting not a little
attention. The frontispiece is a tabulat-
ed illustration of the number of deaths
which have resulted from six zymotlc
and tuburouiar diseases during the fifteen
years that the State Board of Health has
been in existence, and below it appears
the following:
“This monument of mortality is
erected to commemorate the inefficiency
of the State Board of Health for which
we have appropriated $60,000, exclusive
of, additional and .grcisl appropria-
tions ”
The circular is devoted to a statement
of the alleged inefficiency of the board in
Question, and urges upon the Legislature
retake some immediate action to rem-
edy the evils set forth. Dr. Dobsou fur-
ther says:
“It is not a little remarkable that not
a sentence In refutation of the facts pre-
sented in that circular appears in those
articles, nar Is one word of argument
given to call in question the accuracy of
my statements. The chief fault of my
publication consists in the fact the ‘hlif
has not been told ;’ but there is every in-
dication that ”are long the public shall
know more than they do at present of
the west of human life in Connecticut."
WESLEYAN'S TYPHOID CASES.
An Investigation Indicates that They
Were Caused by Itaw Oysters.
Dr. C. A. Lindsley, secretary of the
State Board of Health. has completed
his investigation into the cause of the
typhoid fever epidemic at Wesleyan
University. He says:
"it was learned that six banquets were
held at the college, and it was found that
the fever patients were among those who
attended three of them. The bills of fare
were carefully looked over and the only
things in common were oysters and fruit-
ltisdifilcult to see how such fruit as
apples, bananas and oranges can contain
fever germs, as the inside of the fruit
only is eaten. There is no reason to sup-
pose that fruit caused it. Four of the
bills of fare had oysters, three raw and
one cooked. There were no victims of
the disease among those who attended
the banquet where the oysters were cook-
ed. it was found that all the oysters
furnished at those three banquets where
raw oysters were eaten were purchased
from one dealer in Mlddlstowa. He got
his oysters from one ilrm in New Haven.
"Welesrnsd that this firm brings its
oysters up to beds in the Qulnaipiec
river, where they are kept in the brack-
ish water for from twentydour to fortr
eight hours. The process really Injures
the oysters, but it makes them look
nicer. We learned that there was a
large amount of sewerage discharged
into the river from houses on the east
there. At one house therels what is
called a private sewer that empties into
the river near the oyster beds of the
dealer mentioned, and in that house
there were two cases of typhoid fever.
The investigation is not complete, but it
is a very strong chain of evidence
against the oysters. The question now
being looked into is whethsrthegsrms
of the disease can live in brackish water,
and! think there is not much doubt
