The' robber is believed' to have rid

, JSrookllne, Mass., Nov. 7. Dr. Charles
McBurney, the New York eurgeon,
died at the home .ere of his sieter,
Mrs. Mary Schlesinger, early today.
He had been In ill-health for several
years, during which time he had not
engaged in active practice.
lr. McBurney had made his home
for some time in Stockbridge. ' Last
Saturday, on returning from a hunting'
trip in Maine, he stopped here to vieit
hie sister on a matter of business. Yes
terday afternoon! he was taken ill ana
was attended by a local physician. His
Heart was found to be seriously affect
ed and he failed to rally,, death ensu
ing at 1:15 o'clock this morning. 1
He le survived by one daughter, Mrs.
Alice Rlggs, of Stockbridge.
Announcement of the death was sent
first to his son-in-law, Mr. Riggs, of
Stockbridge, by ' whom the news was
first given out. This led to reports
that Dr. McBurney . had died at his
Stockbridge home. Cherry Hill.
tr. McBurney, after a practice of
nearly 40 years in New York, retired
to his country estate here in 1907. Dur
ing his residence in Stockbridge, he
had been an enthusiastic follower of
outdoor . life and sports. : He was
president of the Stockbridge G-olf club,
and a portion' of the club's course
is laid out bh . the McBurney estate.
Dr. . McBurney was born at Box
bury, Mass., 68 "years ago. ' He was
a graduate of Harvard college and of
the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, New York.- During his profes
sional life he was connected as vis
iting or consulting surgeon with manp
New York , hospitals including j St.
Luke's, Bellevue, Roosevelt, Presby
terian " and St. Marcus. Tor a while
he was professor of clinical surgery
at the College of Physicians and Sur
geons and was a member of numer
ous surgical societies both , in this
country and in Europe.
When President McKinley was shot
at Buffalo, N. Y., in 1901, Dr. McBur
ney was called from Stockbridge as
consulting surgeon. -
For the past three or four years he
had been deeply interested in an en
deavor : to purify the Housatonic
river.
Dr., McBuirney already had acquired
a .reputation when, in, 1883. he published
an essay on- "Experience With Opera
tive Interference in cases of Disease
of the Vermiform Appendix. - The es
say brought him recognition from the
whole world and for many years his
colleagues Jocularly called him the
Father of Appendicitis." The essay
created the first general recognition
of -the disease and established a means
of diagnosis . and character of ' treat
ment and gave to America admitted
priority, and pre-emenince in that
treatment. The prominence which ' he
gave to the symptoms of localized ten
derness, now . universally known as
"MeBurney's point," brought a ready
means of diagnosis and undoubtedly
Ued to the saving .. of. thousands of
lives..! - . "
His later"' contributions to medical
science included the introduction of
the first effective operation for the re
lief of hernia;- a new method of opera-
tioa for biliary calculi and a revolu
tionary change in the method of
treating dislocations of the humorus.
He was a pioneer in insisting upon
aspetlc surgery and he developed
great part of the aspetlc operative
technique which soon became a mat
ter of course in all operating rooms.
LOCKE STEEL BELT
CO. WILL HAVE NEW
PLANT HI EAST END
The New York, New' Haven & Hart
ford Railroad Co. has deeded a fac
tory site to the Locke Steel Belt Co.,
a frontage of 160 feet: on Bishop ave
nue and- extending about 480 feet along
the East , Bridgeport railroad yards
adjoining the main line of the New
Haven .road with frontage on both
Freeman street and Lewis avenue.
Though the Locke Steel Belt company
has been in Bridgeport a number of
years, there was grave danger of
their' moving west in order to - be
hearer ,: the center of , their market,
since most Of their product- Is sold
in the west and much of their raw
material purchased there also. From
a very small experimental plant it has
developed to a .business of considera
ble volume with a continuously .in
creasing pay-roll to a staff which: has
been increased with their progress.
Permanently locating this plant In
Bridgeport with its trade mostly west
has been of quite as much importance
as securing an entirely. new industry
and the credit for accomplishing this
is primarily due to Mr. Enos, the
president of the - Board of Trade, Mr.
NIckersoh, New Haven freight agent
in Bridgeport and Mr. Bristol, train
master, located at Bridgeport. In
addition to giving these gentlemen due
praise, the officials of the Locke com
pany are especially enthusiastic over
the courteous and efficient co-operation
the officers of the New Haven railroad
both in Bridgeport; New Haven and
Boston have shown in this matter. Mr.
Seeley of Boston, the head -of the In
dustrial , Bureau of the New Haven
road has bad this matter in special
charge and. has spared no time or
pains in visiting Bridgeport and , fol
lowing the matter through to a suc
cessful conclusion.
It is, the plan of the company to
erect a one-story, fire-proof reinforced
concrete plant . of the most modern
and up-to-date construction and equip
ment, .which will double the , number
already uqpn their payroll.

The Catholic Transcript has the fol
lowing laudatory reference to the Rev.
James B. Nihill, who Is to see the
hopes of 20 years realized in the dedi
cation of the new church, St. Pat-
rick'si in North avenue, Sunday: , .
The ceremony of the dedication of
St. Patrick's church, which' will take
place at Bridgeport on Sunday, will
mark the completion , of a work be
gun more than twenty years , ago. and
prosecuted with a perseverance and
fortitude beautiful to behold. The de
velopment of St. Patrick's parish was
not so rapid as the projectors of the
new- ecclesiastical center had antici
pated.. The growth -n souls was slow
and patience - was the virtue most in
use. But time has removed obstacles
and unceasing industry, has so far tri
umphed that St. Patrick's stands forth
a glorious sentinel, suggestive in seme
degree of the majesty of Him to whom
it will be dedicated on Sunday. For
this consummation the faithful of the
parish are- grateful, under God, to Fa
ther' James. B.NIhlll... '..He has worked
tirelessly 'and with singular judgment,
and the success which crowns his ef
forts is the reward of much anxious
thought, of many Journeys,, and of sac
rifices of which no human . record; Is
kept., . . ;' v

ONLY ONE VVOLRD'S
SERIES UMPIRE WAS
FORMER BALL. PLAYER
Of the four umpires who had
charge of the games in the recent
world's series only one of them ever
reached any degree of prominence in
the playing end of the game. This
umpire is also the only officlel of the
series whose face is familiar to South
ern league fans. We refer to "Jack"
Egan who gained considerable prom-
two-thirds of his games. Egan, realiz
ing that his pitching days were about
at.an- end, again. took- up the refereo
lng end of the game.- ' fie is thor
oughly fearless and has stood the gaff
on occasions when affairs were about
as calm and placid as the Whirlpool
rapids.
Other than "Jack" Egari,' the only ?
two familiar faces !to : Southern ; lea- j
gue fans of the entire - two , umpire
staffs of the major leagues are "Mai"
Eason and "Bill' Byron. "Mai" Eason
was one of the umpires In the Cleveland-Pittsburgh
series, and has seen

most three-fourths of his games for

twirling resulted in his graduatfon to
the National league, Brooklyn secur

in the National league, and after leav

"The tree selected, whether for
roadway or lawri should, be a nu'r
sery-raised tree, a sound, straight
; stem, with .full, fibrous roots, and -a
naturally 'grown head or top, the trim
ming of which should be ' left till
planted, when it may be better adjust
ed to its environment. It is requir
ed to excavate and fill with good sol1,.
and leave an opening about the tree
for moisture and ventilation of about
two feet square. ' . ' ' 'l
"After planting a: guard of sufficient
strength to protect it against the nib
bling of horses, should be placed
about the tree, being secured in such
manner as to prevent injury to the
bark.- , ' , -
"To be sure, it costs something to
plant a tree in the city;' there is the
cutting of the opening in the pave
ment, the supplying of the soil, which
is no longer dirt cheap; and trees
cost more, for there 13 a greater de
mand for them, than ever bafore.
"This is a good sign, for we need
to plant trees everywhere. Your flor
