Death instead of Marriage.
Gizzela Siksay‘, of Bridgeport, 16
years of age, died suddenly Sunday
morning. Miss Siksay had completed
arrangements for her marriage next
Sunday. She will be buried in what
would have been her wedding gown.
Very Fast Time.
”The noon limited express out of New
York a few days ago covered 60 miles of
the distance between Grand Central
depot and New Haven in 67 minutes.
If the same rate of speed could have
been maintained the entire distance be-
tween New York and New Haven. the
train would have been brought through
in one hour 21% minutes. The sched-
uled runof the fastest train is 1. hour
and 40 minutes.
Sudden Death.
Miss Mary Hunt. a domestic in the
employ of Charles 0. C. Betts. on the
Green, died very suddenly Monday
afternoon, aged about 35 years. She
was about the house on Sunday appar-
ently in her usual health. She com-
plained Monday morning of not feel-
ing very well, and later in the day re-
tired to what proved to be her deathbed.
She had been in the employ of Mr.
Belts for about txvo years, and was
trusted and well liked.
Major Wescome Dead.
Major W. B. Wescome is dead at his
late home in Stamford, aged 66 years.
He was a member of Co. H. of the 28th
C. V. and shared in the memorable
voyage of that regiment on the steamer
“Che Kiang” which‘came so near being
wrecked with the loss of all on board
during the journey to the Gulf, all of
which several Norwalk members of the
regiment have a rememberauce. Ma-
jor Wescome was a popular member of
the regiment and his death will be
mourned by all of _hiS old comrades.
He was a member of W. T. Minor G.
A. R. Post. The funeral will be held
to-morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Will Give Up Racing.
A meeting of the directors of the
Charter Oak Park Driving association
was held at Hartford Monday to take
action as to the future course of the
association in view of the law relating
to pool selling, purse racing and other
outdoor sports. The law was thoroughly
discussed, and it was unanimously
voted to rescind a former vote giving a
spring meeting with purses of $6,000.
A committee consisting of President
Bulkeley, Secretary Loomis and Col-
onel Kennedy was appointed to ascer-
tain what arrangements can be made
with some other association in the
grand circuit to trot upon their tracks
the Hartford colt stake of $10,000 and
the historic Charter Oak stake of $10,-
000 for the 2 .20 class, which was adver-
tised to be trotted at the August meet-
ing. The directors also felt obliged to
refuse the applications of the Colum-
bia Cycle club and the Hartford Wheel
club for the use of the park for the
cycle tournaments, as the new law
makes the lessees of any grounds to be
used for racing purposes for prizes lia-
ble to arrest and imprisonment.

_ Lieut. Col. Crowe was Wrong.
In_a letter to Capt. Burpee of Co. K,
C. IN. G., Bridgeport, Adjutant Gener-
al Bradley reverses the decision of
,Lieut. Col. Crowe in the Burpee-Grant
case which was tried at Bridgeport a
short time ago. It will be remembered
that MuSician Grant refused to obey
an order of Capt. Burpee’s at Go. K’s
ball and that the latter had him court
martialed. .Lieut. Col. Crowe conduc-
ted the trial and exonerated Grant.
Capt. Burpee thought the decision an
unjust one and in order to justify his
action he asked for General Bradley’s
opinion. In his letter the general says,
that enlisted men and subordinate oili-
cers are at all times when at the arm-
ory subject to the orders of the super-
ior officers. .It matters not for what
purpose the man is at the. armory,
while there he must obey orders. It
was thought at the time of the affair
that Capt. Burpee had overstepped his
authori as it was a social gathering
Lieut.
Col. Crowe based his decision on this
He decided that the captain had
no right to issue orders on such an oc-
’ casion.
The decision of Gen. Bradley proves
. that Capt. Burpee did not exceed his
powers. He applied for the decision
of Gen. Bradley to sustain the pOSition
he had taken not to make more trouble
for Musician Grant. Now that he is
vin _ 'cated the matter will drop. any
mili ary men were surprised by the de-
7- 161011.

Attempts Suicide at Ninety-One.
Whitman Williams, a former carpen-
ter, 91 years of age, attempted suicide
at his home in Wallingford yesterday.
He has 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 dose proved 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 land loading it he tried
to blow his head OS.
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 long 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 diL
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 act, 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-
ment.
All in 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 regi-
ments Would be increased to 12 com-
panies, or change from their present
number or 10 for the First and Second
and eight for the Third and Fourth,
for some time yet, or until increasing
population should make it reasonable.
But provision is made so that the law
may stand for many years to come and
the sooner it is put through now, the
better.
The Concert.
There was a large 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 Larbourd Watch” was
effectively sung by Messrs. Merriwe-
ther and N ash ; this was followed by a
reading enmied “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 re00gnition;
then came a chorus by the choir;
George Nash sang a solo entitled,
“Ferry for Shadowtown” in such a
manner that it elicited a spontaneons
encore; a solo “’Tis evening brings
my heart to thee,” as sung by Dr. C.
W. Many was a pleasmg 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
followe ,. and Spencer did himself
proud in its rendition. Mr. A. L. Aus-
tin at this juncture interfered with the
proceedings and osang and talked in an
exasperatingly tantalizing and pleasing
man." ‘7'. “The Bridge” by a male
(1 -tette received as it deserved a
hearty encore. The evenings enter-
tainment closed with the singing of the
Red, White and Blue,”rby the choir.
The concert was a splendid musical
treat and was heartily enjoyed by all
present.
