A Lad Killed by a Wooden Hall.

Last Friday Robert D. Curtis, the seven- year-old son of MT. and Mrs. George E. Our tis, who live on Warren street, was playing out of doors with two other lads when one of his companions threw a wooden ball which struck him on the head. The other boys wanted him to remain and play with them and he did so, and his parents knew nothing about the accident at the time. Saturday he was playing about as usual. Sunday morning he was taken with vomiting and doctor was summoned. He could not understand the case, and asked if the boy had not in some way received blow upon the head His aunt, who witnessed the accident, then men toned the fact for the first time. The boy fingered until Wednesday morning when he died. The accident is peculiarly sad one as the boy was an unusually promising lad The parents while grieving greatly over their loss do not blame anyone Standard.

The Late c. c. Waite.

The New York Tribune, incidentally in Q splendid tribute to the late c. 0. Waite, thus speaks of some of the features of his early ca reer: He was born June 24, 1880, at Brat tleboro Vt. With limited education, he went,a mere boy, to Springfield, in Massachu- sstts, as telegraph boy. He was afterward 6 telegraph operator in the same city, where he is still remembered for his integrity and industry and abounding good nature. From there he went to New Haven, as freight agent of the Hartford and New Haven railroad, where, at the age of nineteen, March 16, 1850, he was married to the faithful and affection ate companion who has borne him large family of children and has nursed him with self sacrificing devotion through all the clos ing months of his life. After his marriage he became conductor on the Hartford and New Haven road, where his massive figure hand some face and sonorous voice became we'll known to the public. Any man who travel ed on the train with young Waite was never in doubt concerning the name of the place he might be approaching. The utterance filled the car above the din of wheels an conversa- ton. On one occasion he had Daniel Web
  dining place st Springfield. As hepassed Mr. Webster he exclaimed: ''Springfeld, 20 minutes for dinner!"
 'sYoung maa," said MT. Webster, jocularly, ''that is one of the best speeches ever heard" The ''young man" turned, and re- sponded with a readiness quite characteristic of him '"Those speeches are always good when speaker and nearer are in sympathy Mir. Webster laughed, and added: 'tParticu- larly when they are short"
 He left his conductors place after four years service, and acted at Springfield as agent for the Western railroads until 1858, when he went to Hartford as secretary of an insurance company. But this did not suit him he wanted larger field.
 The funeral'of MT. Waite takes place this morning at the Broadway Tabernacle, New York. The interment will be in Woodlawn cemetery. on the line of the New York road. Some elegant floral tributes from Hartford friends have been forwarded.
