The nev s of the death of Rev. James
Hu ghee, Vicar general to the diocese of

lids. ,had a pathetic interest to the
officials them. The deceased clergy-
man passed away ignorant of the fact
that in conci oration of his long and
faithful services the pope had appointed
him domestic prelate to the household
of the pope with the title of monsignor.
The papal brief containing the nomina-
tion was recently received at the zlega-

return of Bishop Tierney, who is now
on his way from Europe, and have him

A team driven by Eben Church col-
lided with a canopy top carriage in
which were seated four persons, on the
Westport road Saturday evening, and
the occupants were thrown out. One
of the number a woman, was severely
out about the head. Water was procur-
ed from a well nearby and the wounds
loved, and and after a while the party
vas able to proceed to their home in
\E’estport.
A Close Call.
This morning as Charles Beers and
Howard Knapp were driving in their
team to thiscity a large limb fell from
the decayed elm tree in front of the
Mary Church place on the West-port
road, and came within but a few
feet Of striking both Knapp and Beers.
The tree is a menace to travel on
the street where it is located and ought
to be cut down.
That Well Case.
Judge F rest has rendered a decision

done in sinking a. well for the defend-
ants who put in the defence that the
plantilf had if anything been overpaid,
and that the work was not properly
done. There was a huge array of Wit-
nesses arid the c REC promised to last for

Father Hughes’ Funeral.
Probably 4,000 persons were crowded
into St. Patrick’s church, Hartford,
Saturday morning at the funeral
services of the Very Reverend James
Hughes, V. C.., LL. D. The seating
capacity of. the church is 2,000, but the
edifice was crowded to the doors with
an immense congregation, one-half of
which stood during the services, which
occupied over two hours. The church
was heavily draped in black broadcloth,
with rosettes, both inside and on the
exterior. '
Long before the church was opened
crowds stood outside and 1,000 people
attended early mass, celebrated in the
basement by Father Loftus, of St. Pat—
rick’s church.
ThIEoody of Father Hughes lay in
a solid oak casket on a raised catafalque
in front of the altar. He wore the
vestments of the church and held a gold
chalice in his right hand. On the cof-
fin was a massive silver plate with the
inscription: “Very Rev. James Hughes,
V. G., L. L.. D., Born Nov. 5. 1830;
Died Aug. ’7, 1885.”
A candelabra containing a cluster of
wax candles stood at the head of the
cofiin, and behind the candelbra was
placed a cross with a skull in the cen-
ter emblematic of death.
At 10:15 o’clock the office of the
dead was chanted, the chautors being
Fathers John J. Quinn, Kennedy,
Lynch otSt. Peters, Lynch, of Water-
bury and W. J. Shanley, rector of St.

cum of Norwalk; masters of ceremon-
ies, the Rev. William McGurk and the

Joseph’s cathedral.
The music of the funeral service was

tion of Professor E. J Dooley, with
five soloists. '

Mrs. Timothy Crowley Called Out
of HGP House and Assaulted.
Being Unable to Accomplish His
Purpose the Ruffian Knocks
Her Down.
The police of South Norwalk, also
Constable Samuel Ireland, were called
upon last night to arrest a drunken
man named John Cullinane for an at-
tempted assault upon Mrs. Timothy
Crowley of Spring street, Whistle-
ville. '
At about9 o’clock in the evening,
Mrs. Crowley Was attracted by a knock—
ing at her door. 011 opening the same,
she found J nhu Cullinane standing
there. He was intoxicated, and asked
for Mr. Crowley. Beinginformed that
Crowley was away from home, he-
asked Mrs. Crowley if she would "tell
him where Mrs. Gates lived. This
she attempted to do, but Cullinane ap-
peared incapable of understanding the
directions given him .. and asked Mrs.
Crowley if she would not come out and
point out Mrs. Gates’ house.
Mrs. Crowley closed the door and
stepped out into the street in the dark-
ness to respond to the request. '
She had hardly reached the Spot
where Cullinane was standing when he
grabbed hold of her and attempted to
throw her down. . Mrs. Crowley made
same time calling for help at the top of
her voice. She finally wrenched her-
self from Cullinane’s grasp and started
for her house when he again confronted
her, and finding that he was about to
be fOiled in his attempt, dealt her a stun-
ning blow in the face knocking her
down. .
As soon as he had struck the coward-
ly blow Cullinane fled, but Mrs.
Crowley had recognized him and re-
ported the facts to the police.
Cullinane has been before the police
court in South Norwalk on several oc-
casions and is known to be a desperate
man when intoxicated. He assaulted
Chief Vollmer at one time, kicking
him in the face, and that officer was
being able to get him under subjec-
tion. At another time he assaulted Of-
ficer Decker when he was attempting
to place him in a cell at headquarters.
He has been arrested and fined numer-
ous times and has also done ti me in
jail.
Cullinane was at one time in the Eng-
lish army and is said to have done ser-
vice in lndia. When sober he is a
good workman, but when under the in-
fluence of liquor is said to be a demon.
months ago he terribly beat a man and
then had him arrested for trying to as-
sault his little daughter, but when the
case came up in the Superior Court the
accused was discharged. It was
thought at the time that Culliaane had
beaten the man while drunk and
trumped up the charge to free himself.

MRS. STEPHEN HOLMES.
Mrs. Emily Pinkney—Holmes, wife of
Stephen H. Holmes, died at her home
on Main street, Saturday evening, af-
ter an illness covering a period of sev-
eral weeks. For some days her death
had been hourly expected, and. her
final dissolution was as peaceful and
calm as if she were going to sleep.
And it was a sleep from which her life
would seem to entitle an awakening in
heaven.
Her maiden name was Pinkney and
she was a daughter of the late J. W.
Pinkney. A few short months ago she
was wedded to Mr. Stephen H. Holmes
whose first wife was her sister. Every-
thing looked bright for her future hap-
piness on earth, but she sickened and
died. Much sympathy is manifested
for her doubly bereaved husband. The
funeral will be attended to-morrow af-
ternoon. .

Between one and three o’clock this
morning Norwal-k was visited by as se-
vere if not the severest thunder stoim
withinthe. memory of our oldest citi-
zens. . I ’
All day yesterday the air was of an
almost suffocating nature. Early in
the afternoon portentious clouds gathv
ered in the skies and seemed to be play.
ing a game of battledore, but no rain
fell. There was an occasional flash of
lightning, of the kind called by some
people “heat” lightning.
People retired to rest under the 1m-
presssion that there would be no rain,
and left windows and blinds open in
order to get all the circulatibn of air
possible. .9.
About one o’clock persons who had
been able to get asleep under the at-
mospheric conditions that prevailed
were awakened by vivid flashes of
lightning followed by deafening peals
of thunder andtorrents of rain,
These conditions prevailed almost
incessantly for two hours. The hea-
vens were lighted up by flashes Of
electricity which seemed to come from
every point of the compass. Occasion-
ally a lightning bolt would shoot out of
the skies and appear to drop almost
within reach followed by crashes of
thunder that threatened to shake
buildings from their foundations.
The rain flooded the streets to the
depth of some inches and out through
the air like ascythe.
Remarkably enough but little
damage was done here in town. A
bolt struck a fir tree in St. Mary’s
cemetery, slashing it into bits, and
from thence jumped to one of the stone
posts at the entrance, and after dancing
around a globe on the top of the post,
jumped onto an iron picket fence,
richochetted from picket to picket for
about ten feet and then fell powerless
to the ground.
At Branchville, as noted below, the
life of one man was sacrificed, and at
Wilton a barn and its contents, includ-
ing a horse, were burned to the ground.
A FATAL STROKE.
At Branchville the storm resulted in
the death of amen and nearly killed
his wife.
William Tiley and his wife live on
the road between Ridgefield and
Branchville with Mr. Tiley’s aged
mother. When the storm broke they
were all in bed. Suddenly a bolt \of
lightning struck a tree in the yard and
then jumped into the bedroom window

badly burning and rendering Mrs. Ti-
ley unconscious. The bolt tore out the
window sash and after killing Tiley
passed out underneath the door.

Mr. 'I‘iley’s aged mother Who is an

The deceased was 35 years of age and

A barn belonging to LeGrand Sey-
