His funeral was attended on Friday from the house of his son, Mr. Frederick Olmstcad, with whom he made his home, by Rev. W. J. Jennings- The interment was in tho Umpawaug ceme- teryf Mr. Olmstcad was a native of Ridge- field, and spent most of his business life in this town. He was greatly respected. Quite early in life he confessed his faith in Christ. For many years he was postmaster at the Center. He was honored by his townemen with the offices of justice of the‘ peace, and representative in the General Assembly. He retained in a remarkable degree his mental and physical powers till towards the close of ' his lcng life. . His son, Mr. Edmund Omstead, came on from Chicago to attend the funeral. ' 'Mr. James Miller has gone to northern Ver- mont for horses. ' ’ Mrs. Johnson and family left on Friday the house which they had occupied so long. for a new home in Bridgeport. Miss Lillie M.

A special Borough Meeting is to beheld this evening, to consider the adv'cability of laying a pro rata tax, for the purpose of meet- ing current expenses. Fire broke out in the engine room. at Rogers & Brittin's a few evenings since but fortunately it was extinguished before much damage was done. An injunction has been granted at the re- quest of Capt. Wm. Lewis resttaining the Borough from taking dirt from a hill of land which he (Capt. Lewis) claims to own. The dirt was being used to repair Scaview av— enue. Capt. Lewis is probably actuated by spite, as he and Burgess Hawlcy, who had charge of we repairs to the street mentioned _ haue a quaq’el of long standing. Saturday last was the day set for the hearing on the matter, but Capt. Lewis asked for an ad- journment, which was granted. The fact of his asking for an adjournment is considered by many as an acknowledgement of‘ the weak- ness of the case. . Scarlet fever has caused mourning in a number of families, during the last few weeks. The Summerfield school has closed on account of the numerous cases of the dis- ease in the district. Petitions are being circulated in this vi- cinity, for the release of Sergeant Mason. Your correspndcnt takes a different. view of the matter than most people. Mason was one of a'guard chosen to protect the misera- ble wreich Guileau. from the assaults of a mob, and instead of doing his duty, he resolved himself into a judge, jury and exe- cutioner. No one would have mourned had his attempt on Gnitcan’s life been successful, but that is not the question. The matter narrows down to this, Mason violated the rules and regulations of the army and at- tempted to do an act of murder, which he was expected to help prevent. No matter how great Guitcsu’ crime, had Mason’s attempt been successfil it would have been 5 a black stain on the history of the country. . The laws provide for the proper trial and punishment of criminals and those laws should not be allowed to be set aside by the action of any one man. Mason should be punished for his crime, and looking at the calmly, and considering what such acts, (if: allowed to go unpunished) might lead to, we say the sentence is none to severe, and it should be enforced. W. WILTON. ; It is with pain we have to record the death 'of Wm. Knapp, of this place, along and re- spected citizen. He died March 21st after a protracted illness and with great suffering. He was born at the old Knapp homestead in Hurlbutt street the 15th of July, 1813. Mar- ried Jane Smith, daughter of Capt. Eliphalet and Rhoda (Sturges) Smith of Wilton, the 24th of December, 1838, who was born the 6th of July, 1818. and died the 22d of July, 1857. The deceased was of the Congrega- tional faith and when he could always attended his church. He was very diligent in morning prayer in his family. He was a member of the Farmers’ Club and was an earnest supporter of it and ever ready to ad- vance its interests. In his middle life be was much afliicted with rheumatism. A few years’ ago he met with an accident, falling and breaking his hip, but against the expecta- tion of many he recovered, leaving one limb shorter, which caused a peculiar walk, from which he was easily recogniZed at a distance. The Nap (written thus in early recOrds,Kuap afterwards, and now Knapp) are of English descent ; one settled in Fairfield and two in Stamford, Ct. One of the latter, Eliphalet, being then disturbed by the British, took up a temporary residence in Wilton, bringing with him his family, cows, etc., and after the Revolutionary war bought the homestead and settled there. They had four children, viz.: Mary, Bethiah, Charles and Hannah. Charles had two wives—first, Mary Daven- port, three children; second, Rachel Ster— ling, three children, William, Betsey and Eliza. The two sisters still survive him. Hannah married Isaac Osborne, from which descended the Osbornes, of Ridgefield, New Canaan, ctc. Mr. Knapp was in politics a firm and true Republican. He leaves LWO own sisters; three half sisters and four chil- dren, with his many friends to mourn his loss. He was buricd'Friday, March 24th, and his remains rest in J oe's hill cemetery. * STAMFORD.

WESTPORT. qutain Isaac Sherwood, of this place, died in Bridgeport, Thursday, aged about forty-five years. He had been complaining for a long time, but continued with his ves- sel, tho sloop C. H. Phillips, even when friends advised him to leave her in other hands, during all that rough weather of Feb- ruary and early March, and it is thought this circumsrancc hastened his end. His death which is greatly lamented, is a sort of coin- cidence, occurring so soon after that of Captain Bulkely. Captain Sherwood had a remarkable mind. Finishing his education in our schools be entered. the drug store of the late John Warren Taylor as a clerk, continuing there. many years. He became complete master of the business and was so familiar with every detail that he could tell, without looking, the position of every ar liclc in the store whether on shelf or in drawer, and he was also noted as a clerk for correct- ness and iilfnbility. After the retirement of Captain Frank Bennett as commander Of the Phillips, the subject of this sketch, and his brother Frederick took his place, the form- er, to the surprise of many, assuming a po- sition about which it was thought he knew little. The theory proved to be a mistaken one, for he soon showed himself a worthy successor of the skipper whp had on this route made his fifty round trips in a year. Both his physical and mental sight were aputc and he rarely erred in his judgment of situations when dictated by the one or the other. He was descended from a family whose generation have been noted for ion- gevity, and his death marks Lthc loss of an- other of our people. Tne funeral occurred Saturday, and the remain were buried in Bridgeport. Mrs. Elbert Sipperly, nee Miss Addie Nash, and husband,passed the week at her father’s, Mr. S. H. Nash. .

The political cauldron is now boiling and the “workers” for both parties are doing their best. NO nominations for Mayor or any of the other offices have as yet been made, but candidates are numerous. On the D.mocratic side for Mayor David M. Read, Henry Atwater and ex-Judgc L. M. Slade, are the principal ones mentioned; either one of the three would make an excellent i’ncum- bent fdr the office, but as they are not the kind of men who consider party their above everything else, the nomination of either is doubtful. On the Repubtican side, Dr. Warner, Edward W. Marsh, and several others are mentioned, but the chances for the election of a republican mayor in Bridge- port are slim, unless there should be a split in the democratic ranks,a;contingency which seems rather remote at present. Bernard Keating will be rc-elected as City Clerk and Charles E. Wilmot as Town Clerk. The former is a democrat, and the latter a repub- lican, both are popular men. and no better ones could be found for the offices which they fill. There promises to be a bitter con. test over the nominations for Selectmen,— especially among the democrats; there being about twenty aspirants for the honor. Eli Thompson, the present democratic member of the board is unpopular with that class of his party who believe that the office should be conducted in the party’s interest, rather than in a business like manner. Mr. Thomp- son is an old resident of Bridgeport, and some of his would-be—successors are as far below him in point of business ability as they are younger residents. Mr. Richard Fitzgibbons is a candidate and is pushing his claims strongly—but it must not be sup posed that the democratic party contains all the office seckers,—oh, no 1 Human nature is the same all over, and for “uncommon anxiety, in seeking office, a candidate for the nomination for Councilman « from the Fifth Ward “lakes the cake.” Latelya he has been spending a greatportion of his'time,in going around and urging republicans to come the cuscau and “help mewt.”The Fifth Ward is ordinarily republican,but if this candidate, re- 'ceives a nomination, it is reasonable to say that the ward will send at least one demo- crat to the Council, as his conduct has thoroughly disgusted the republicans of the ward. For selectmen on the republican hide a number of ca didates are mentioned, but it is pretty genfially conceeded that Thomas Sterling, the present incumbent will be one of them, as Bridgeport has never had an of- ficial who has conducted the office in a more satisfactory manner. For the minor ofiiccs, suffice it to say that candidates can be found on every corner, and in every bar-room, and notwithstanding the latter fact, they are not all democrats either. ‘ Preparations are being made for the an- nual town and city elections to be held in April.

Tnownnrbon was placed on the stand by the defense and testified in his own behalf, as follows: I have resided continuously in Stamford since I was tivo years old, with the exception of one year, when I was away as surgeon of the 23d Conn. Volunteers. I have been a practitioner 28 years. ' I graduated from the Yale Medical College,and have practiced dur Curtis 0. How. has been elected Cnicf' ing that time in Stamford, with the exception of the year above mentioned. I was also about a year and a half in the Board of Enrollment in this city, during the war, but I was prac- ticing in Stamford. and resided there also. I know the man who calls himself Wm. F. Tillman. The first time I ever saw him was on Tuesday night—the evening of the day following Decoration day. I did notI know of such a man before that time, and I did not see him on Decoration day. In the early part of that day I attended to my business, and during the parade I was mounted on a horse, and dressed in military uniform. I was dressed as a surgeon of the G. A; R. He then described minutely this uniform, the object being to throw discredit on the state- ments of Tillman, who testified to seeing the doctor in the parade,but was sure he was dressed in ordinary citizen’s clothes. After the parade was over I went to the branch office; this was between 6. and 6:30 o’clock in the evening. I entered the front room—- the one I use as an ofiice—and found the door between this and the rear room open. There had been no calls. I then passed into the little room - and changed my clothes to citizen’s dress, and came down stairs,through the hall to the street. I did not remain'in the branch ofiicc more than fifteen minutes. I went up to my home and main ofiice,reach- ing there in the neighborhood of half-past six; the sun had not set; it was shining bright I remained in the office.attending to patients, and after being home about an hour perform- ed‘ an operation on a man. My daughter was home on a visit, and I saw her when I reach— ed the house. When I went out of the branch ofiice there were two young ladies in an adjoining room. I also saw Mrs. Beeck- man as I passed out of the lower dbor. wnnnnsnu mofiimc. Dr. Trowbridgc again took the stand and continued his testimony. two bells; the house bell proper, and my office bell. The first mentioned is on the‘ right hand side. When this is pulled a bell rang down stairs. This sometimes could be heard up stairs. The bell by which I was summoned was on the left-hand side of the door, with “ Doctor’s Office L’ in plain letters on a card above it. The first I ever saw or. knew of Augusta Cullen or Wm F. Tillman was on Tuesday night, May 31, 1881, about 7:30 o’clock. I was just dismissing a gentle- man from my front door when ,,Mrs. Cullen and Tillman came into my front gate. This was the first time I had noticed them. He came on the stoop first and she followed. He asked me, “ Is this a doctor’s office ? ” I said “yes.” The door was open and' I pointed up stairs. I was busy talking with the gen- tleman who was just leaving. In a very short time I went up the stairs, and passed them before I came to the door of my office. I opened the office door and they went in. I said, “ be seated.” They did not take seats immediately, but while standing, Tillman said, “This lady was taken sick onvthe cars, and I was directed to your office.” I asked her what was the matter, without looking at her face. She said she had pains in her stom- ach and head. She said she had suffered from malaria. ssw she was sick, and said, “ You are sick; lay down on that lounge.” She took off her wraps, her hat and gloves, and laid down immediately. I took a chair and moved to her side; took her pulse, and then discovered that she had fainted. Her pulse showed a wavering and fluttering which astonished me. I thought she had been frightened or Shurt. In a very short time her pulse came back with a bound, and she went off into “hys- terical tantrums." She tossed about, talked incoherently, and then the blood came. I thought then that she was subject of hem- orrhages and the sensation of feeling the blood in her throat had made her faint, and then thrown her into hysterics. She con- tinucd throwing herself about in all manner of contortions. The blood was flowing at times quite considerablgand at others almost stopping. There was so much hemorrhage that I went into the othe'. room for salt and water, because it was convenient and at. most times efficacious. I do not know whether I closed he door to the side room or not, I rushed in in a hurry and died’t stop to think about it. In a very short time after the blood came, I went for salt and water. I gave her the salt and water. She did not swallow it, and so I rubbed it in her mouth, and gave it t J Tillman and told him to give it to her to drink, as he was nearer her face. I could not reach her mouth with the glass, as she kept tossing about. The bleeding and tossing continued over an hour, but some- times it almost stopped. I do not know how much over an hour. She said “I'm dying” as often as anything else. She also called the name of “Will.” I do not know whether she called “Doctor,’ or not. I heard Tillman say, “Keep still. Gas,” or “stop your noise, Gus,” or something like that, evidently to calm her, I went to the other room twice more for salt and water, and gave it to her each time. I got nhtbing else from the other room during this hour or more. Tillman wiped the blood from her face with his hand kerchief, and also took hers; I furnished him more cloths. After an hour or so, she seemed to grow more composed. She lay on her left side and appeared to go to sleep. I thought the hemorrhage and hysterical spasms .were all bver with, and went into the other room, where I found the Misses Lizzie. Maggie and Katie Collins, and Mr. Lewis Ayers. When I went out after the water and salt the first time, I think they were all there, but could not say positively. I sat down at the table and was about to take a cup of tea, when I.heard a signal from Tillman, indica- ting that I was wanted. I jumped from the table and rushed in, land found that the blood had commenced again and was very profuse, pouring from her mouth and nostrils. She lay on her back, with her head toward the head of the lounge and toward the street. The blood was running on the floor,so I went and got a pan and put it on the floor. I set the leg of the lounge in the pan, and over a quart of blood went into the dish. It ran all over her clothing and ,on the lounge. She thfew it over the wall When she tossed aboutfthc first time, but not the last time, The blood flowing so fast suffocated her,and I think she died of hemorrhage of the lungs. She lived only a very short time after I was called back in the room, probably nOt more than 10 nor less than 5 minutes. She made a gurgling noise while bleeding the last time The blood was a bright color all the time, and it was brought up with a cough. Coughing occurred at internals. When the flow began the Orst time her pulse was nor- mal, skin moist, and her face somewhat flushed. I thought it was hysterics at first, and had no fear of death until the second attack came on. When I found she was dead, I said to Tillman, "Who are you,where are you from, and who is.this lady?" He told me their names, and residences. I asked him if she had friends—mother, father, and where she lived. He told me her mother's name and address, I got paper and pen, and wrote a dispatch to Mrs Mitc ell, saying, “Your daughter is _very sick a my office. Come immediately.” I could not bear to say “dead" for fear of shocking her mother. I gave the dispatch to Tillman and told him to go over to the depot pnd send it right away. He took it and went nWay. That was the last I saw of him until the next morning about 5 o'clock. He left me at 10 p. m. waited, thinking that either he or her friends from Norwalk would come. I waited all night; did not. go to bed at all. After Till- manwent away and did not come back, I' thought some trick had been played on me, and so I went to her pockets to get papers or some articles by which I might learn her true identity. I found several receiptcd bills for rent, made out in some cases to Mrs. Au- gusta Cullen, and in others to another name. These satisfied me that she was from Norwaik and that her name sometimes was Augusta Cullen. ‘I did not call in neighbors, because I thought they could be of no use. Ialso expected her friends to come on the train at about one o’clock. Tillman came about five o’clock the next morning to my office, and rang the offide hell. I went to the door. I asked him, “Where have you been '1’” He replied by asking me if her family had not been there. I said no. He then told me that he went to the depot with the dispatch, and found the office closed. Went up town to the upper office, and found that closed. He then went into the telephone office. He said they told him they would telephone and that the mes— sage would be delivered. He said’ he then took a room at the hotel, but did not go to .bed; said he paced the room all night. 1 thoutotd him he must go to Norwalk on the next train, but he turned to me and said : "i cannot breakthat news. You must go, doc- tor.” I did go, first locking up the office = securely. . I did not know her condition during all this time. Nothing was said or thought about it. I did not go‘into my private room with Tillman or have any private conversa- tion with him. There, was nothing said to me by either of' them about her condition. After she died I never told Tillman. that he must tell any. story. Nothing‘ was said be- tween us its to any story I should tell her mother when I went to Norwalk. We went to Norwalk together. When we got. there. Tillman said he would not go up then; I asked him why not. He told me there was not the best understanding between Mrs. Mitphcll and himself, and said he would go On the door of my branch office there are ' I then looked at her face and - and I took the horse cars and went up. I found Mrs. Mitchell and began to tell that Mrs. Cullen came to my office the night be- fore and was taken with hemorrhage of the lungs. She stopped me, exclaiming, “Did she dic P" said, “Wait a moment and I will call in m daughter” She did an, and I described to thorn the case, just. as I have stated it here. 1 IllltLllel' who came to my oiling with Mrs. Cullen and asked her what I should do. She answered that she would call in the under- taker. When lic came I told him the condi- tion of things at my office, and 1 went with him to Stamford. We went to the town clerk’s office; and got a permit to remove the. body ;itbcn went to my ofllce. I helped him to prepare the body for removal. I brought a pail and a sponge. When fibegan to move the body, blood oozed from r mouth and nostrils. He turned her over on her side, and blood ran from her mouth and nostrils into the pail. He washed her face, put her on the stretcher, and I went and got a sheet, whicliI put over her body. We then our. ricd her down, and put her in the ice-box, closed it, and he west away.

There aré many stories afloat in regard to this affair. Queen is an Italian who worked at one time on the South Norwalk reservoir, and while there be married a wid- ow. the mother of the deceased boy, whose sudden death has been the source of so much talk. Queen was in'town yesterday and is :indignant that charges have been ,made so damaging in their nature. The boy was seen in Olmsteadis store in Georgetown on the night. before his death, apparently well and in the morning his death was announced as being caused by convulsions. There are some things which as yet do not seem satis- factory, bht probably on investigation will clear up matters. That Queen should vol- untarily return-to Wilton is a strong pre- sumption either that he is innocent onelsc very callous. Wilton Division are making cxtenisve prep- arations for their anniversary.

The wisdom of our forefathers recognized the divine law as the basis, and after divine favor as the-indispensible condition of all public and private prosperity. Penetrated by these convictions thy were accustomed at appointed times to seek to deepen their sense of the majesty of the laws of their transgres- sions of it, and to implore the forgiveness of Him “in whom we live, and move and have our being.” ~ In accordance with the venerable usage which they have bequeathed to us, I hereby appoint FRIDAY..tue seventh day of April next. a day of public fasting, humiliation and prayer. And I ‘recommend the people of this Commonwealth to refrain on that day from their usual employmenls. and. in their homes and places of public worship, and in such ways as may seem to them most fitting, humbly and penitently to approach Almighty God with supplications for his pardon and blessings. - Let us endeavor to obtain a profoundcr sense of the greatness of the divine law, and the necessity of our obedience to it. Let us think upon. and confess with shame and sorrow the transgressions of our people, and their departures from the faith and princi- ples of our pious ancestry, and from the ways of duty and virtue. Particularly let us reflect upon and consult together with reference to the best means of abating the intemperance, licentiousness, corruption and crime, which are alarmingly prevalent among us. And from that holy life and sublime self-sacrifice which the whole christian world will on that day of hallowed associa- tions unite in tenderly and solemnly com- memorating, let us draw assurances of divine forgiveness and love, inspirations of higher devotion and nobler lRing, confidence in the future of our sinful but glorious coun- try, and that hope which looks beyond the fleeting years and lays hold of life eternal.

I wish to say to you that I have been suf- fering for the last five years with a severe itching all over. I have heard of Hop Bit- ters and have tried it. I have used up four bottles, and it has done me more good than all the doctors and medicines they could use on or with me.

His Oint- ment for skin diseases has been the means of releasing thousands from tho indescribable horrors of that complaint.
