Royal Blue Line’s Five Hour Trains.

To Washington in 5 hours from New
York is the time made by the Royal
Blue Line trains leaving stations of
Central R. R. of New Jersey, foot of
Liberty Street, at 11:30 a. m., 1:00 pm.
and 3:00 m.; South Ferry, foot of
Whitehall street, 5 minutes earlier,
daily. The latter train, known as the
“Royal Blue Limited,” has a counter-
part that leaves Washington at the
some hour, reaching New York at 8:00

. m. Both these trains were built
especially for this service by the Pull-
man Palace Car company, and are con-
ceded to be the finest specimen of car
construction of the present age. The
“Limited" is made up entirely of par-
lor and dining cars. In addition to

, above a eneral change of time in the

John H. Monroe, a Well
Known Farmer, Dies at the
Vosburgh Residence.

HIS DEATHEZU N EXPECTED.

Hid Suffered Similar Attacks Several Times

Before.

. John H. Monroe. of Comstock Hill,
died suddenly at the home- of George
H. Vosburgh, place,
about 11:30 o’clock,.Sunday night.

Mr. Monroe’s and the Vosburgh
families were very intimate and it was
the habit of Mr. Monroe to every Sun-
day visit at the home of the latter.

Sunday he complained on first enter-
ing the house that he feared another
attack of the complaint with which he
was at times afflicted, and which had
baffled the skill of physicians.

Later he seemed to‘ feel better and
proposed returning home, but was pre-

on Livingston

vailed upon to remain over night. A

 

suggestion that a physician be sent for
did not meet with his approval.

He with the restol’ the family retired
About ll o’clock

at an early hour.
Monroe rapped for assistance and Yes-
burgh, senior, responded.

On going into the room he found
Monroe apparently strangling to death.
Dr. A. H. Baldwin was summoned and

‘- .a-~..__~.. ..._.~- _

promptly responded but when- he

arrived the patient was dead.

The complaint of Mr! Monroe was
what is known as oedema of the throat,
which dropped and caused death by
strangulation. Had the physician, Dr.
Baldwin, who had treated him for like
attacks in the past, been earlier sum-
moned, possibly the man’s life might
have been Sived. '

The deceased was well known herea-
bouts and did quite a. large market gar-
dening business in town, and his farm
on Comstock hill is spoken of as being

one of the finest in this section of

the county. .
He had been twice married,his second
wife being a Mrs. Waterbury. Some
weeks since she went- to Onondaga Val-
ley, New York, for a visit with rela-
tives, and was expected to return home
this week. She has been advised by
telegraph of the death of he.“ husband.

BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 12. —Julia Shir-lig,
aged l-I years, was found Sunday morn-
ing banging to a beam in the cellar of
a residence on Elm street. She had ap-
parently been dead some hours. The

the family of John L. Stone, 65 Elm
street, for about four months, coming
there from East Bridgeport. An autopv
sy showed that the girl had been eciente
for upwards of six months. When she
came to work in the Stone household
she stated that she was obliged to re-
ceive attentions from a man in the
house where she formerly worked, and
therefore left the place. '

AMUSEMENTS.

Burrill Comedy Company.

The following is one of many favor—
able press notices concerning the Bur-
rill Comedy Company, which opens at
Hoyt’s to-night:

Infatuation, a four-act society drama.
from the pen of Howard P. Taylor, was
the opening piece presented last night
at the York Opera House, by the Bur-
rill Comedy Company. A packed
house greeted. the company at their
initial performance, and it is putting it
mildly to say that everyone present
was well pleased. Miss Laura Hulbei t
in the leading role, was appreciated.
Her vocation has been well chosen.
Besides posses‘singa charming person-
ality, she is an excellent emotional
-ctress. The company is well balanced
and contains performers of a high
standard. The specialties were meri-
torious.

Pensioner Poisoned in Bridgeport.

BRI GEPORT, Dec. 12,—James Beg-
ley, aged 60 years, a war pensioner,
died at his home on Jones avenue, Sun
day morning, from poison administered
by some unknown party. Begley drew
his pension of $36 Saturday, but the
money had disappeared. The last trace
of his whereabouts after drawing the
money was at Driscoll’s store, at the
corner of Main and High streets, when
he staggered in and fell into a chair.
He sat there until closing time, and
then the clerk noticed that the man
was unconscious. A physician was hur-
riedly summoned and had the man re-
moved to his home. He died without
returning to consciousness. A post-
mortem examination was held and a
black looking substance resembling
snuff was found in his stomach. The
medical examiner and coroner were
notified and also the police. . Begley
when he left his home in the- morning
stated he would be right back, as has
always been his custom. It is believed
that after getting his money be en-
counteredsome persons who drugged
and then robbed him. S '

alone. AfLer using two bottles of Elec-
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im—
proved and able to do her own work.”

eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep-
lessness, melancholy, headache, back-
eche, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godsend
