Making.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 11. The
case of a live man formally declared
dead by a court, after bearing the testi
mony of three' witnesses was developed
here today. The man thus dead to law
is George Hulce. He was named as
executor in the will of Mary A. Tuttle.
In offering the will for probate, counsel
declared of his knowledge that George
Hutbe was dead, and asked that an adj
ministrator be appointed. Two other
witnesses testified to the death, one of
them asserting that he attended the
funeral." The judge thereupon decided
that Hulce was dead. Now it appears
that he is not dead, though the wit
nesses who testified to .the contrary were
honest in their opinion. But, as the
court record cannot be changed without
reopening the case, and as there is no
disposition to do that, Mr. Hulce, so far
as the records of the probate are con
cerned, will remain dead.

time had come for the commencement
of continuous efforts to bring about
rural reforms. Speaking on the subject,
of working men, Gladstone said .the
labor question had a wide range. Home
rule was a part of the labor controversy.
The condition of the rural laborers was
the most urgent question. Proof of this
statement lay in the constant migration
of these, laborers. Every endeavor
ought to be made to keep laborers at
home, He hoped to see labor candidates;
for seats in parliament increase in num
