President H arrison’s Speeches. Whatever may be the party prefer- ences of our readers, it must be con- ceded on all sides that President Harrison’s speeches have been the pro- duct of a mind able, brilliant and well equipped. Many of his speeches have trodden so closely upon the heels of their predecessorsas to preclude all possibility of a previous preparation, and yet they have varied in a wonder- ful manner. The President has ad- dressed all sorts of audiences in vari- ous parts of the country, and in no in- stance has his utterances been unhap- py or jarred on the ears of his auditors, or been circling repetitions. Mr. Har- rison has proclaimed the gospel of patriotism and a lofty citizenship, and his words have sunk deeply into the minds of the American people because clear, apt and original ; he has avoid- ed the cant phrases of the professional moralist, the didactics of the philoso- pher, and the rhetorical platitudes of the demagogue; hence his remarks have attracted wide and deserved at- tention. 4+ >———————-—— lERSE TALES OF THE TOWN.

New Canaan, The T0wn Ablaze with Bunting, and Full of Veterans and Music. ~ New Canaan was aglow yesterday with patriotism and flags and martial music and the “tramp, tramp” of the marching boys in blue. The morning was lowery, ~but not wet enough to and bronzed old vets., who, to the num- ' ber of some two hundred, formed in line at the New Canaan depOt, and, marching through some of the principal streets, filed into Nichols’ large, new opera house, where the business meet- ing of the regimental association was held. The procession was headedby the St. John band, of Stamford, beau- tifully uniformed and equipped and comprised entirely of Americanized sons of Erin, and‘they played most delightfully. ' The G. A. R. Post and the O. U. A. M. acted as reception committee. The old comrades, their wives, their child- ren, with their uncles, their cousin: and their aunts, soon packed the opera house to its utmost capacity. The morning’s proceedings were not'of en- grossing interest to any save the vet- erans, and, the day and the place being insufi‘erably hot, as a consequence much uneasiness and confusion prevail- ed about the rear of the hall while the routine busines was being transacted COmrade Charles Smith, of South Nor- walk, president of the association, pre- sided thronghout the day. Comrade J. B. Brown,formerly of New Canaan,now a settled pastor at Canarsie, L. I., made the opening prayer , and Senator Mead a most cordial address of wel- come. Among other notable members of the regiment present were General Noble, Colonel Huss, Major Doty, Anthony Comstock, Professor Silliman, of Easton, Pa., Henry E. Waite, M.

Noble introduced a series Of resolutions on the death of the brave Capt. Wm. H. Lacy of Bridge_port,who had died since their last reunion,which were ordered recorded and an engross- ad copy sent his family. Gen. Noble paid a glowing tribute to his character as a man and soldier and eloquently pictured the scene“ which he saw, when ' Lacy and little Chatfield were swing- ing their swords amid shot and shell and the enfilading storm of bullets, trying to rally the wavering line of Co. G, as the Eleventh Corps broke before them at Chancellorsville. V'Steps were taken towards preparing a history of the regiment, when mem- bers of the New Canaan Citizens’ Com- mittee appeared on the scene and invit- ed the regiment and their accompany- ing friends toa bountiful repast. which had been spread on four long tables ex- tending the entire length Of the Opera House banquet hall. The invite was accepted with the'old-time “double- quick ” charge. The tables wererichly and most abundantly supplied with all the . delicacies of the season. The la- dies had supplied such an abundance of food that another regiment could have been fed. Fruits and flowers, andcakes. .11 and pastries enlivened the more solid baked meats. The Hoyts’ nursery sent over liberal samples of theirmarvelpus new white grape. which were greatly enjoyed, Gen. Noble pronouncing the' fruit the most suberb of any out-door grape he had ever eaten.

An aged WOmein- Found Lying Dead , _ Across henBed. Apo‘plex! the Cause of Death. ' About 4'o’clock, yesterday afternoon, the aged Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, sup- posed to be about 80, was found lying across her bed in her room on Brook street. . . . Alittle color dboy who has been" in the habit of doing little acts of kind. ness for the old lady was the first to discover her andnotifythe neighbors. Ofii'cer Morehouse called in Medical Examiner Burke, who stated that the cause of her death was apoplexy. She was well-known about town many years ago, as a tailoress, living in the Wm. K. James house on the lumber dock. Her husband, “Uncle Hewlet” ”J ones, was nearly all his life, employed in the Old Capt. Hubbell mill at the corner of Wall and Main street. Her son is said to be in Vermont, and a nephew at Greens Farms. I She had been assisted by the town for many years. Undertaker J ennings will keep her body till Monday in hopes that her relatives may be heard from. Music Hall Opening. At the formal opening of Music Hall last evening, Manager Hoyt presented Marie HubertFrohman as “The Witch” to a good sized audience. Too much cannot be said of the play and its ren- dition. The highest compliment that can be given an actress was given Miss Frohman last evening in the tears and half suppressed sobs of her audience, to which she was entitled by her su- perb rendition of her part. The “Wal- ter Leyden” of Mr. Charles J ehlinger was perfect, and rightly deserved the applause he received, while Flora Red- ding’s rendition of ”Goody Oliver” was simply immense.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—John Baxter, his ‘wife and two children were found dead in their rooms at 821 East 160th street. All . had been shot. It wasn't fearful case 01 murder and suicide. Close by the body at Baxter lay an Americ w bulldog 32-caliber. . revolver containing 1 'cc cartridges and four empty shells. Si ‘5 were heard by other tenants in the hou. c, but no investi- gation was made at the time. The policeman who discovered the trag. edy found on a table in the room\ where the bodies lay a letter addressed to Bax- ter’s mother. It was in the handwriting of the dead man, and showed that he con- templated the murder of his "family and then suicide. No reason Was given for the terrible deed. It was evident that all four of the shots were instantly fatal There was no evidence of a striiggle by any of the victims. No outcry was heard by the other residents of the building. ; The wounds showed that the pistol was. placed close to the head of each of the Victims. The balls crashed into the brains of the victims, killing them instantly. The children were probably shot while asleep. As soon as he had killed his family, Baxter placed the muzzle of the revolver to his own'temple and fired. He fell by the side of his wife and died without astruggle He was probably insane.
