Attempts Suicide at Ninety-One.
Whitman Williams, a- formercarpen-
ter, 91 years of age, attempted suicide
at his home in Wallingford yesterday.
Hehas been sick for some time and of
late has become despondent. He has
two sons there who know of his condi-
tion but refused to have anything to do
With him. For some time past he has
been living alone in the upper part of
a double tenement house which he
owns with no one to care for him but
the neighbors and the family living
down stairs. '
A week ago he was taken very ill and
afterward confessed that he had taken
an ounce of laudanum with suicidal in-
tent. The doseproved so strong, how-
ever, that he was unable to retain it on
his stomach and he was attacked with
a fit of vomiting which saved his life.
Yesterday he found an old shotgun
about the house and loading it he tried
to blew his head off. '
‘ The weapon was old and rusty, how-
ever, and before he could explode the
cap he was discovered by other occu-
- pants of the house and the gun taken
.away from him. Although unable to
take his own life it is doubtful if he
can long survive as he is very ill and
cannot ong withstand the ravages of
disease.

The Military Bill.
' The-new military bill that is soon to
-come before the Legislature” provides
that. the National guard of this state ~
shall consist of not more than 48 com-
panies of militia, of which each regi—
ment shall have 12. Congressional dis-
trict lines are to be wiped out entirely ;
' that is to say, the law which now pro-
vides that each district shall contain
one regiment is to be repealed by the
new not, and companies are to be lo-
cated with more reference to better
control from regimental headquarters.
In addition to this, the bill disbands
the two separate colored companies.
The bill carries no appropriation with
it, but the expense of maintaining the
additional companies is to come from
the amount appropriated for military
service. - -
The term of service is reduced to
three years and a reserve corps is pro-
vided for. Provisioning of troops is to
devolve upon the commissary depart~
en .
Allin all, it is a great improvement
over the present law. For one thing,
a; company so near Hartford as the
Winsted company would probably be
assigned to the First instead of to the
Fourth regiment and anew company
could come into the Fourth from some
town nearer Bridgeport or Norwalk.
It. is not probable that any of the regis
ments would be increased to 12 com-
panies, or change from their present
number of 10efor the First and Second
and eight for the Third and Fourth,
for some time yet, or until increasing
population should make it reasonable.
But prov1sion is made so that the law
may stand for many years to come and
limit sooner it is put through now, the
e er.

one in which Sadie Scanlan made such
a success. The star in the piece is

. The Concert.
There was alarge attendance and a
delighted audience at the concert given
in the Opera House last evening by
the Choir of Grace Church, under the
direction {of Mr. .Horace Hills, Jr.
The first number on the programme
was an overture by Mr. Hills, which
was followed with a splendid rendition
by the choir of “Awake, awake.” Mr.
Leonard Whitney sang “In Dream-
land” with fine effect; “Maid of the
Mill” received splendid treatment by a
quartette composed of Messrs. Keeler,
Bonnell, Nash and Austin; the gOod
old; piece “The Larboard Watch”_was
efiectively sung by Messrs. Merriwe-
ther and Nash ; this was followed by a
reading entitled “The Lost Heir” by
Dr. C. W. Many, which was given in
an entertaining manner by the doctor ;
“Alice, where art thou” by the male
quartette won. merited recognition;
then came a chorus by the choir;
George Nash sang a solo entitled,
f‘Ferry for Shadowtown” in such a
manner that it elicited a spontaneous
encore; a solo “’Tis evening brings
my heart to thee,” as sung by Dr. C."-
W. Many was a plea-Sing number on
the programme. Mr. George Nash did
splendid execution with the Indian
clubs; a solo “Five“ o’clock in the
morning” by Master Spencer Adams
followed, and Spencer did himself
proud in its rendition. Mr. A. L. Aus~.
tin at this juncture interfered with the
proceedings and sang and talked in an
exasperatingly tantalizing and pleasing
manner. “The Bridge” by a male
quartette received as it deserved a
hearty. encore. The evenings enter--
tainment closed with the singing of the
“Red“.Whiteand Blue,” by the choir.
