GA Z_ETTE. - cts. 3 1311’ I DGEPOll’. 7. ’. Many sudden deaths have taken place within the past few days, which has cast a gloom over our whole city, most of them being prominent- citi- zens. The prevailing disease seems to be heart failure and pneumonia. Truly “In the midst of life, we are in death.” The funeral of Col. S. B. Sumner was attended from St. John’s Church on Monday afternoon. Rev. Beverly E. Warner delivered afitting eulogy upon the life of the departed lawyer. The interment was at Mountain Grove Cemetery. On last Sunday afternoon, Glover E. Sanford of the firm of Glover Sanford’s Sons, died at his residence, No. 152 \Vashington avenue. Mr. Sanford had been suffering for several weeks from pneumonia, which culmi- natedin heart troubles, his death being directly due to heart failure. Mr. Sanford had been a resident of this city the greater part of his life. He had been actively engaged in church work and was. at the time of his death. Supt. of the Sunday-school atSt. John’s Church. The funeral was very largely attended W'ednesday afternoon, at his residence on Washington avenue, Rev. Sylvester Clark and Rev. W. H. Lew1s officiating. The interment took place at Mountain Grove Cemetery. Mr. Barnum is convalescing slowly and as everybody hopes, surely. As seen as the weather becomes more set- tled, he will be about again, much to the satisfaction of a host of friends. Collector Edmonds’ collection of duties for February amounted to $16,- 000. This is the largest amount since the office has been established in this city. The Rev. J. R. Gow has resigned as pastor of the East Washington avenue Baptist Church, and accepted a call from the Hyde Park Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Wilbur E. Nichols, aged twenty- sir. years and six months, a grandson of the Hon. Stephen Nichols, was stricken with apoplexy Sunday after- noon while attending the service in St. John’s Church, and was conveyed to ‘his home, No. 423 State street, where he died atabout half-past six o’clock. The funeral was attended Thursday. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis Sherwood, wife of Aaron B. Sherwood, expired Sunday afternoon at her residence N o. .. 2‘73 Park Avenue. ’Mrs. Sherwood for two weeks past had been a sufferer from typhoid pneumonia. Her funeral was attended from her late residence on Park avenue Thursday morning, at ten o’clock, Rev. Mr. McNeil of the South Congregational Church, Rev. Mr. Buttome her former pastor, and the Rev. Mr. Davenport officiating. A quartette from the South Church choir sang a number of her favorite hymns, “Nearer My God to Thee,” “Going Home” and “Sleep On." One of the saddest deaths that has taken place in a longwhile, was that of Mrs. Marion C. Adams, the wife of Dr. C. E. Adams, who died on W'ednesday morning at her residence in this city. She had formerly sung in the North Church choir and also in Christ Church, but at the time of her death she was a member of St. John’s choir. The fun- eral was attended frOm her late resi- lence 65 Sealey street, yesterday morn- ing. the Rev. G. H. Lewisof St. John’s Church officiating. The remains were taken to New London, her former home. on the 10 o’clock train for burial. She leaves a husband. a daughter three years of age, and a babe about a week old. The bereaved husband re- ceived the sympathy of the whole com— munity in his affliction. WESTPOR 12 State Agent Thrall of the Humane Society was in town Tuesday and visit- ed a number of places where he found animals which through age, disease or improper treatment had become inca- pacitated for work, and ordered seven killed. The Young People’s Circle met with Miss Edith Salmon on Tuesday even- ing. There were twenty-four present in spite of the storm. D. P. McKcnna has put out a hand- some new sign. A regular communication of Temple Lodge, No. 65, F. 'and A. M., was held on Thursday evening. The marriage of Mr. S. Hurlbutt, J r.. of Baltimore, to a young lady of that place, it is rumored, will take place in the near future. Mr. Charles Mills is making quite an , improvement near his residence by straightening and improving the high- way just west of his house. He is do- ing this work, which is certainly for the benefit of the public, at his own ex- pense. Mr. Mills has done a great deal for the “roads in his neighborhood. The town meeting which was held on Wednesday, did not give the com- mittee which was appointed-a week ago a chance even to make a report, but voted to adjourn at once. Mr. W. H. Petrie is installed in his new store and the store vacated by him is being fitted up for its new tenant. Mr. Andrew C. Nash met with a se‘ri- ous accident on Monday. Mr. Nash and his son Edward A. Nash, had load- ed a load of hay and had gone to Mr. Lloyd Nash’s scales for the purpose of weighing it. One side of the scales is level with the ground while the other is about three feet above the level. After the hay was weighed Mr. Andrew Nash stepped back of the load and his son, not knowing where his father was, turned the team around, thus pushing his father off the scales. He fell, strik- ing squarely upon his heels, and injur- ing them so that he is unable to walk. Quite anumber of sleighs were out on Wednesday. _ W'ork at Mr. John D. “'ood’s satchel factory is booming. The works are being run to their fullest capacity and yet he is unable to fill his orders. Mr. Wood began with twelve hands ten years ago and now employs 130 and could employ fifty more if he had room in his factory. Some of the members of the commit- tee appointed by Vigilant Engine com- pany to confer with Compo Engine company in relation to the proposed trial between the two machines, do not think that the meeting was fairly re- ported in the ‘Vestporter of last week. It is claimed that the committee from Compo would not listen at first to any limit to the number of men to be em- ployed in the trial but to this Vigi< lant would not consent but offered to put twenty men on their engine and give Compo twentysix. But even to this the Compo men demurrcd, and would not agree to any proposition that did not give them double the number of men to be worked on Vigilant. The latter company deny that the commit- tee from Compo proposed to work with from twenty to thirty men and saythat they would probably have agreed to that. Mr. Frank Coley, who was recover- ing from an attack of typhoid fever and was able to sit up for a short time daily, is now prostrated with an attack of rheumatism. —--———o o ._.__. ~—._— _.._.._- BEDDING. Mr. W. T. Denison received a fatal injury Monday. He was riding on a ton of hay, which he was taking to Danbury, and a little south of Bethel, when going down ahill, slipped from his load, and fell to the ground. Two of the wagon wheels passed over him. . Aleg, hip and rib were broken, and his body was bruised. He was taken into a house, which was near, and phy- sicians were called from Bethel, but their ’efi‘orts to save his life were futile. The Creamery is now paying its patrons at the rate of 25 cents fora pound of butter-fat the milk contains, and ten cents for one hundred pounds of skim milk. Mrs. L. W'. Randle returned home from Jersey City last week VVednes- day. March came in with a cold breath. Its second morning was colder than any so far this winter. Sunday evening a 1'. P. S. C. E. was formed.

Smith, our butcher, has re— moved his headquarters to Plymouth avenue. borough, from which place he will daily serve his many customers. Martin Troy felt somewhat slighted at not seeing any mention of his aged steed in the GAZETTE. On seeing the report of the two old animals, 33 and 37 years respecétively, Martin claimed that his horse was older than the two put together. A queer animal was exhibited at the store. yesterday, by Mr. Britto. It was a genuine great ant eater, from trOpica-l South America. His owner says he will stretch his ungainly body at full length on an ant hill, and run out his tongue, which, on being covered with'the insects, will be quickly with- drawn. This is repeated until a full meal is the result. It is reported that besides building a summer residence, Mr. S. B. Wilson proposes to open a street through a recent acquirement of the St. John property, said street to be called "Wil- son avenue. WESTON. Miss Georgie Sturges of Wilton has been visiting Miss Anna Lockwood. Chas. T. Gregory and wife spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. William B. Hurlbutt at Cannons. Miss Mabel Beers of South Norwalk is the guest of Miss Ida Coley. Mr. Homer C. Godfrey and wife of Bridgeport have been visiting their grandfather, Alban B. Sherwood. On Wednesday morning on entering the stable he found his horse dead in his stall. During the night Mr. Sher- wood’s horse broke its halter and went into the stall with Godfrey’s horse, where a lively battle with hoof and teeth ensued which resulted in the killing of Mr. Godfrey’s horse, which was valued at $200. When found both horses were lying in the same stall, one dead and the other so weak that it had to be assisted to its feet by atacklc. They wereboth horribly mangled.

The readers of the GAZETTE will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and = that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con- stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying. the foundation of the disease,_ and givmg the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & 00..

Says a correspondent: It has become quite common among newspaper itemi- zcrs and others in this vicinity to call our Justices of Peace “Judge,” in- stead of using their proper title of J us- tice, and it is often misleading to those who are not familiar with such custom. There is no more sense in so calling our trial Justices than there would be in calling a molehill a mountain. The cus- tom was probably introduced by some pettifogging attorney, in the hope of tickling the Justice so as to win doubt- ful cases, and it is hoped that the newspapers will discontinue the prac- tice and call them what the law declares them to be, Justices of the Peace. .The action of Carter’s Little Liver Pills is pleasant, mild and natural.
