SUDDEN DEATH.-A young man named Mol
Ter, a native of Denmark, who had been in this
country only two weeks, died very suddenly
last evening under peculiar circumstances. He
began work at the n Washburn steel tire
works ON Grafton street, yesterday morning,
and after working hard all day, was taken sud-
denly ill at the shop about six O'Clock, and
being removed to the city hospital, died at half
past nine. The attack under which he was
Frustrated was very like a sunstroke. 1t is
probable the extreme heat of the workroom, to
which he was unaccustomed, combined with
hard physical labor, were the cause of his sud

and Mrs. Stone started Immediately 10 20 to
him. The cause of his death is unknown, but
it was probably apoplexy. Mr. Stone was about
sixty-three years of age, an active member Of
the Universalist church, and gentleman of
large public spirit. He leaves a widow and
large family, who will receive the cordial sym
pathies of large circle of personal friends
in their bereavement. Mr.. Stone has taken
q prominent part in many public enterprises in
this city, and at all times commanded the re-
spect and esteem of those who knew him.

A SERIOUS CHARGE OvERTHRowN.-IHw
be remembered that some time in the month of
April, Mr. Charles j. Thompson, a sewing ma
chine agent of this city, was arrested, charged
with financial Irregularities in his dealings with
his employers, Messrs. Beal and Percival of this
city, but that the matter was supposed to have
been satisfactorily arranged. Lately, however,
the old charge has been renewed, and Mr..
Thompson was again arrested on complaint of
BIr b. j. Beal, and the trial took place at Pitts
h,eld on Tuesday, before Judge Tatlock. The
trial,. which was based upon alleged forgeries
andloi' obtaining money under false pretences
while the accused was acting as agent for Mr..
Beal in Berkshire county, resulted in the acquit-
tai of Mr.. Thompson

LIQUOR SEIzUREs.-For some time past
State ConstableS brennan and Mcfarland have
noticed at the express offices large quantities of
liquor consigned to prominent apothecaries in
the city Their suspicious becoming aroused,
the matter was looked into closely, and ycster-
day morning lot of the counterband fluid be-
ing found at one OF the offices, marked to Silas
Dinsmore, they made inquiries of that gentle
man and found that the liquor did not belong
to him. They then went back to the express
office and made a seizure, and aiterward made
the rounds of the other offices, obtaining at
some of them a considerable quantity Of liquor.
At the Adams express office four barrels of
whiskey were takeu, and at Osgood's office one
barrel of whskey and a key of brandy. The
officers say that the practice Of running in
liquor in this manner has been carried on for the
past three or four weeks with considerable sue
cess, and that now some other dodge will prob
ably be adopted to try their ingenuity.

THE UNION HILL BURGLARIEs.-The large
number of burglaries which have recently oC-
CURED in the vicinity of Union Hill, has at.
tracted the attention of the city marshal, and lie
has detailed two officers TO work up the matter,
and if possible arrest the burglars. The scamps
probably selected this part of the city for their
operations on account of the fact that no police
men patrol the vicinity during the night. There
Is a report in circulation that the depredations
have been committed by an organized gang of
youthful ruflans, who ornament their faces
with burnt cork to secure them from recognition
if seen. Officers Flint and Ratigan, two of the
best men on the force, are now stationed in that
part of the city, and there is good reason to
hope that the amateur kuklux will be captured
and dealt with according to their deserts

farmer, and he worked, assisting on the
farm, until he was Is years of age.
In 1921. the family removed to West
Haven, W.; and, in 1896, Horace en-.

ing his life on the farm, and while en-.
gagged in the printing Office, he was
assiduous in his studies. He became an

time, removed to Erie county, Pa, and
Horace engaged as a journeyman printer

A Paris correspondent Of the London
Globe. describing the marriage on Thurs
dav, Nov. I, of NJ. Rochefort, writes:
Rochefort was brought TO the -MaSjn
a Arres, o! Versailles, on Monday night,
and thence his marriage process.
sion started yesterday morning. /: con.
sisted of one large hired carriage, con-
veying the bridegroom and three police
agents. dressed in plain clothes. Ii left
the prison at a very early hour. and had
for an escort a very strong guard Of
~sudrdieres de la pair, who also surrounded
in force the .Maisoa de Sante. attached 10
the convent of Augus,ines. Here or
the second story was No. 3. q little room
opening, as all such do in places of cor.
finement, from a great public corridor,
and in this was q lady. the bride. As
the poor paralyzed woman could not, Of
CT urse, be moved to the r~slire, or TO
church, for either q civil or a religious
ceremony, N. Mameau, the naire, or to
church, for either a civil or a religious
ceremony, N. Rameau, the marie, had
come to her bedside. The marriage in.
strument was read by him. while N.
Rochefort stood by the bride, holding
her hand. IL was then signed by botl,
though the effort drew from her a cry OF
pain, and was witnessed by Francois
Victor Hugo, Ernest Blum. Jean De
Strien, and the eloquen: barrister. Albert
Jolly. This was sufficient to give legal
validity to the marriage, and status TO
the children, but Nile. Renaud, as the
Pdppel states half apoiogetically, had
begged for a religious ceremony also,
and Rochefort could not refuse the re.
quest which will be probably her last.
The blessing Of the church was the efore
bestowed on the pair by the Able Toilet,
chaplain Of prisons. After this NJ. and
Nine. Rochefort were released from sur.
Vigilance for a short half hour, and left
absolutely alone. At the expiration OF
this tiEne they parted, and At IL O'Clock
of their bridal morning their welded
life ended for ever. The bridegroom,
with the same precautions, was con.
Quoted back to his temporary prison,
his conductors, by the rapid pace a.
which they took the carriage, appear
ing to grudge the favor shown, and last
night he was carried in a prisoners van
to his place of permanent confinement
in the Isle de Re.

PHYSIOLOGICAL INFLUENCE OF LIGHT
A writer in the Manufacturer and
Builder thinks there can be no doubt
that bright red and yellow rays sti-
mUlate, and in some cases irritate.
the brain and mind. Deep blue is
said to depress or exhaust the vital
force. Some animals are excited
when brought in contact with scarlet
color. This may be observed at the
bull fights that take place in differ
ent parts of Spain, and the effects of
the same color upon turkey-cock is
familiar enough to Americans.
Green, violet, and in fact all neutral
tints, soothe the nervous system and
alley mental irritation.
