A Brooklyn Man Stricken with
_ Apoplexy on the Steamboat '-
Wharf.
l-lis Remains Taken to Brooklyn this
Morning.
Henry L. W. Schiefielin aged 57
years and 8 months died at the, N or-
walk Hospital last evening. to which
institution he had but a few minutes
before been transferred in an ambul-
ance.
' The deceased visited the steamboat
wharf shortly after 5 o’clock last even-
ing, to watch the arrival of the steamer
Belle Horton, upon which he expected
a friend. He seated himself upon a
barrel at the north end of the pier.
He was seen to fall forward from the
same to the planking, but it was some
moments before anyone showed. anyD
disposition to go to his assistance.
Finally a man Went to him, and the
~ victim‘ asked that a physician be
called. Others quickly gathered
around the man, and a chair being
provided he was assisted into the same,
but he was unable to articulate.
Sobn after, Dr.J M Coburn arrived
on the scene and he ordered that the
ambulance be summoned, as no one
seemed to recognize the man, and he
was taken to the hospital, where he
died as above stated.
It was learned after the ambulance
was well on the way to the hospital
that the man’s name was Henry
Schieffelin and that he was a guest of
Frederick W. smith on Day street,
South N orwalk. _
The deceased was a relative of Mr.
Smith’s wife and was taking a vacation
trip which commenced about two
weeks ago. . ‘
He had returned from a vi51t at the
home of his brother-in-law George Can-
field in Wilton, the day before his fatal
illness. .
His occupation was that of a drug-
clerk at the well known firm of H.
Shieffelin 8: Co. in’fNew York, a posi-
tion which he had held with the firm
for the past thirty years. He, during
the war of the Rebellion, served 'in the
' Navy from which “he retired with
honors. He was" an Odd Fellow, a G.
A. R. man, ‘ and a member of the
Templars of Liberty, and during his
short stay in town had ingratiated him-
self into the hearts of all with whom
he became acquainted.
He had been a sufferer from heart
trouble but had always prescribed for
himself. His home was at 125 Sands
street Brooklyn, and he leaves afamily
of six children. '
Charles, one of his sons was advised
of his father’s death and reached this
city on an early train. He gave orders
that the remains be properly cared for
and encased in a casket, and accom-
panied them to Brooklyn on the train
leaving South Norwalk at 11.35 o’clock.
It is expected that the funeral will
be attended. on Monday, and that Nor-
"’ walk friends and relatives will. be
present.

Milton G. Barlow, one of the best

who is knOwn by every theatre goer
has been made the defendant in an
acfion for divorce brought by Lillie
Hall Barlow of Trumbull. The action
is based on the grounds of cruelty and.9
intemperance. Mrs. Barlow was in
Trumbull untilaweek ago when she
Went to New York to prepare for her
season’s tour. She has been on the
stage several years. The suit is red
tunable to the September term of the
superior court.
Mrs. Barlow is well known in Trum-
bull and her father and other relatives
ha‘ve resided in that town for many
years. Her father is Derenzel Hall, a
well known resident of that town. The
plaintiff is no more well known than
Milt Barlow in that section. He has
lived in Long Hill during the summer
season for many years and has made
himself a great favorite among the
townspeople. They all regret the
breach. The couple were married on.
March 14, 1888, and for several years
traveled in the same company.
Divorce proceedings. are not new to
either party. Mrs. Barlow was divorced
in order that ’she might marry Milt
Barlow. She was also the cause of
Milt Barlow’s separation from hisfirst
wife and on her account Barlow spent
one anda half years in Ludlow street '
jail. Barlow has been known on the

As the head of that organization,
Barlow made and spent a fortune.
dozen years ago he met Lillie Hall,
who was then the wife of Richard
Quilter, an actor. Barlow was living
with his first wife at the time and his
attentions to Lillie Hall caused his
wife to seek a divorce. She was grant-
ed a decree and awarded alimony.
Barlow was unable to pay the sum
named by the court and for 18 months
he lived in the poor debtor’s depart-
ment of Ludlow street jail. Finally his
wife relented and secured his release.
In the meantime Quilter- had been
divorced and Lillie Hall and Barlow
Were married during the famous bliz-
zard of 1888. After the marriage, they
“doubled up” and for a time were
making money. All went well until
laht season when Mrs. Barlow began to
be suspicious of Madame Blauvelt who
has a leading part in the Uncle Tom’s
Cabin company, in which Barlow is
now starring. Then she and her hus-
band had afalling out and for several
months they have not lived together.
It was rumored in theatrical circles
some time ago that she would ask for
a decree on statutory grounds, naming
Madame Blauvelt as co-respondent but
this she abandoned; In the present
action she states that her husband is
worth $2,000 and asks the court for
alimony. ‘

RAN OVER A DOG.
Long Distance Rider Comes to Grief iii
Greens Farms.
A bicycle rider on his way from New
York to Hartford met with a painful
accident near the Greens Farms cream-
ery yesterday afternoon. He was com-
ing down the hill at a hot pace when
a little dog ran out in the road and
got in front of the bicycle. The rider
tried to steer out, but was not quick
enough and ran over the dog. The
rider was thrown from his wheel with
great force and launched against a
stone wall, cutting his head and bruis-
ing him in various places. The fellow
lay beside the wall for fully ten min-
utes, when he was discovered by a lady
who was riding by. The young man
was unconscious and badly injured.
He was carried. to a nearby house,
where he was restored to consciousness.
The wheel was a wreck, the front
forks being almost bent double.
