UBITUARY.
The funeral of the late John Osborn,
Esq., of West avenue, was attended on
Monday last'by his .pastor, Rev. Dr. T.-
K. Noble, and after the entombment of
the remains in Union cemetery, the soil
of Norwalk urned the dust of another
of the worthiest and best of this an-
cient town’s adopted sons.
Mr. Osborn in later life took consid-
erable interest in g'eneaIOgical investi-
tions, and has from time to time been
of valued assistance to local annalists.
Vide Schenck’s History of Fairfleld,
Vol. 1, page 402. He was of good stock
and his early ancestry is as follows :‘
Richard Osborn the settler, was born
in England in 1612, and afterward re-
sided in Londonuntil 1634-. On Febru-
ary 17th of this latter year, he sailed
for King George IId’s province in the
Barbadoes.
was disappointed in his Sovereign’s
possessions at that point, as the youth
of twenty-two remained there only
about a twelve—month. With three of .
his fellow “Hopewell” passengers he
quitted the province, and in 1635 was-
found in Hingham, Mass. He removed
in 1639 to New Haven, and was attract-
ed in about 1650 to Fairfield. When he
had reached three score and ten years
of ' age he removed again to that hand-‘
tween “N orwalk and the North river,”
sold on July 14, 1649, to Peter Stuyves-
ant, Esq., the portion, namely, situated
some two or three miles to the eastward
of the present Mount Vernon station on
the Consolidated road. He is said to
have lived to advanced age, and to have
died not far from Flushing, L. I.
Mention is made in his will of two
sons, John and 'David. David followed
him to Westchester county,but “Capt.”
John, who inherited his father’s Con--
necticut property, and was “an impor-
tant and influential man in Fairfiéldt,”
remained in this colony untilhis death
in 1709. Hehad married a Miss Sarah
Bennett, which two persons were the
foreparents Of our late townsman of
West avenue, and 'of Hon: Thomas .B.
Osborne,- M. C.,and of several. of the
Fairfield Burrs and others of promi-
nence in'Western Conn. ‘
Richard Osborne and his sons were
seemingly the intimates of Sir Thomas
Poll and of Philip Pinckney, while
patentees of the Westchester New Pou
colony. Davidwasbrother-in-law of Sir
John Bell, “Seinor in ordinary to_‘His
Majesty,” “and heir of Lord ThOmas
Poll, and from his son Richard, who re-
moved from Westchester County, N.

BOOKAWAY WRECKED.
A Summer Storm Wreaks Havoc at, a
. Famous Resort.
ROCKAWAY BEACH, L. 1., Aug. 1.—’l‘he
morning broke on a scene of wrea: and
damage such as has not been seen here be-
fore for many years. The storm of the
night was one of the severest on record.
The wind blew directly on shore and sent
mmense volumes of water up over the
each, gnllying and washing out the
streets and destroying walks, to an unpre-
cedented‘extent.
The Wind Jwas accompanied by heavy
rain, and the temperature was reduced to
a pgint that caused much suffering from
col . P
On Seaside avenue the walks and partof
the roadway are so badly washed out that
boats are necessary to go from one place
to another. Many other avenues are badly
' washed out, and all traflic is stopped.
Water is knee deep on the Boulevard.
Electric lights in the hotels were extin-
guished at an early hour last night, the
wires having been rendered useless by
poles .being blown down.
While it is not known that any lives
have been lost it is said that two young
children were barely saved from drowning
by employes of Brosnan’s hotel. , .
Brosnan’s and Tate’s hotels are much
damaged by the flood. No estimate can
be given of the amounts necessary to re-
pair them. ‘
Bathing houses and other structures
near the beach suffered much. In many
instances the waves battered them to
pieces and washed away the debris. The
beach is strewn with timbers.
The air is very cold this morning, and in
houses that the flood has reached there is
much suffering. ‘
He May Be Made a Cardinal.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Old rumors have
been revived in Catholic church circles to
the efiect that the pope is about to pro-
mote Archbishop Feehan to the dignity. of
cardinal. The story goes that Pope Leo
will mark his recognition of the opening
of the World’s fair by giving the red hat
to the archbishop in 1892. Western bishops
visiting Rome from time to time for the
past few years have, it is said, been im-
pressing the ecclesiastical authorities at
Rome with the judiciousness of recogniz-
ing the growth and increasing influence
of the church in the west by raising a
western archbishop to the cardinalate. In
this connection Archbishop Ireland’s name
has been frequently mentioned, and many
Chicago priests say that the retiring,
modest disposition of Archbishop Feehan
may lead to his being passed over, with
the result that the coveted honor would be
conferred on the prelate of St. Paul, whose
aggressiveness and activity make him a
potent factor in public affairs. ‘
Died from Hydrophobla.
WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 1.——Robert Tan-
kersley, aged thirteen, died here in horri-
ble agony from hydrophobic. The boy
was bitten on the face and arm about two
months ago, and was taken to a hospital.
After being there a few days he “bolted,”
and nothing more was seen of him until
Monday, when he was taken back to the
hospital with all the symptoms of hydro-
phobia. Thursday afternoon the convul-
sions recommenced, and three men were
necessary to keep the patient in subjec-
tion. The boy frothed at the mouth, and
tried to bite all who came near him.

The Tail of a Comet. ,
This a wonderful sight to seeawvomau of
average height with'hair so (long that it
maches to her feet; [but what; would you
think of a hair switch 200,000,000 miles '
long? Those erratic celestial adventurer:
called comets are sonamcd because-theatr-
cients thought they resembled the flowing
bar-Of a woman. These switches in the
sky have been seen 100- degsL long, which is
more than the distance from the ’zenith to
the horizon. In the olden timestheappear:
wot a meet was a-dreadfiflevent. The
change visitantstruck ternoT'tO-tlnhearts
of ignorant and superstitnmls people, be-
cause it was thought to be a sign-Of the

But, thanks to scientific research, in
these latter days we know that-’éhefiamiug
comet isas harmless asLasnowfiake. The
constituents of a comet fire practicallytlie‘
some that are found in all: the. nebulous '
matter in space. In fact it is . not- far out '
of the way to say that comets are simply
masses of nebulae moving in orbits around _
our sun. and it is’quite probable that the ‘
other millions of mine orstarsi aresimalarly
visited by the strange specters. The fact
that stars can be seen through the nucleus
orhead of a comet clearly demonstmtesthat
it isnot a solid body. It is thought byvas—
tronomers that the mass of a. comet ismso
light that its weight is far less than that
ofthe earth’s atmosphere. It is probable
that the extreme tenuity of comets ac-
counts for the eccentric‘tity of; theirorbits.

' . "Cash" and Cinderella,
On one of the crOss seats! in .aSixth-awe- ,
nue'elevated car earlypne morning sat a '
littlegirl about 10 years Old. She carried
her hit of lunch wrapped up in a. newspa. -
per. She was evidently'employed downvin
one of the big shops. ‘
" At the moment the reporter’s eyes fell
upon her her eyes were big with amaze-
ment and delight; She'seemed ina. verysev-
euth heaven of bliss. A picture book lay
open in her lap, depictingin huge typeand
high colors the old, Old story of Cinder-
ella. There were stacksof just such books
in the shop where she worked, and her eye
may have fallen upon them and‘ recog-
nized them somewhat as part of the land‘ »
marks of her daily drudgery. But this
one had been givenvher for her very own,
and she treasured it as though its value
were a hundred times its weight in gold.
Between One Hundred and Fourth street
and the Eighteenth stréet station she read
the entire story three times, and at each
reading'she seemed to enjoy it more huge-
ly than before. She. had just begun for
the fourth time when a tall, good natured
looking young woman, who was holding
' outoone of the straps, nodded her head
to her and shouted out, “Hullo, Cash!’ ’
A moment later the guard shouted out
“Fourteenth street!” The child shut her
book up quickly and tucked it inside her
jacket. Then she and the tall young wom-
an left the car together.—New York Even«

Pretty Good Stun“. .
A friend of mine being ordered by his
physician to drink a certain kind of min-
eral water, and being impressed with the
importance of obtaining'the naturalwater
in preference to any Of the manufactured
imitations, called at .about a. dozen drug
stores before he could find one having the
“veritable"paturalspringwater. Hedrank
the water at this place for a month or so,
and finding it very beneficial, enthusiastic-
ally recommended it to his friends, several
of whom also became steady drinkers of it.
A few days ago he took a fresh friend to
try the wonderful water, and was served
bya new clerk. After drinking his glass
of the water he smacked his lips and com-
placently remarked, “Ah! that is .very
different from the bottled stuflf put up
herein New YOrk!” . “Oh, yes!” responded
the incautious new clerk; “we make this
right in the store here after theoriginal
formula, and when you buy from us you
know exactly what you’re getting1”-—New

Troubles of an’Inventor. . :
Paul Geher, an inventor, says: “I’W
been struggling on the brink of solving a
great problem. Success _ is a matter of
millions of dollars. I have almost per-
fectedmy invention, and the trifle which
stands between me and those millions is
enough to drive a man crazy. ' It is a con-
stant repression, an unceasing guard upon
myself, rigid self drill to prevent madness.
Sometimes I have thought 'I had reached
the proper thing, and afteranxi9us days -
and sleepless nights that preceded: the
trial another failure fairly drives me wild.
_“I Often dream of it_—a'_sort of la hideous
nightmare. ' My dreams contain ' other
dreams, one within another, wherein the
joy of success ends in despair, orvice verso.
It isterriblel No wonder men go mad
over Inventions. At times I devoutly Wish
I had never conceived this thing, but was
still plodding along at my bench. Then I
go at it again with fresh spirit and renewed
hope."—New York Herald. ‘ "
