Two Murders-Father and Son Guilty
 The Murder in West Haven-A Son of Abbott to be Hanged Next Week-The Crime.
 Many in this city recollect the murder of Apollos Bronson in West Haven by Stephen Abbott, who has now been in State prison for the crime about twelve years, serving out a life sentence. In the jail at Elmira N. Y., is son of Abbott, who is to be hanged for the crime of murder next week. It is case for which there is seldom a parallel The father is 60 years old and the son is 19. Both claim to have committed the deed in self defense. Next 18th of January completes the elder Abbott's twelve years in State prison. The story of his crime as related by himself given in yesterdays Hartford Tunes. is as follows
 He was on terms of intimacy with Bron- son, and at the time of the killing Abbott was at work for the former, and we infer that the pair had been drinking freely for two or three days.
 One morning at about 6 o'clock Abbott says Bronson woke up cross and they had some words. Bronson in a fit of anger reached for an axe that stood close by, and a tussle ensued between them for it's posses sion Abbott finally wrenched it from him, and Bronson snatched a piece of board and struck Abbott on the head with it. Abbott retaliated by tapping Bronson on the head with the back of the axe, the blow bringing him to his knees. Then Bronson tried to throw Abbott, and the latter gave him sec- ond blow with the axe, and seeing that he was in for it finished the job with one or two more blows. Abbott says 'I then raised his head and exclaimed, My God, have killed you? p He made no answer. I then laid him back on the ground and started to give myself up. If had done so 1t might have turned out different, as I could have shown the marks where he struck me heavy blow with the board. But the devil was at my elbow, whispering, Hide him under the barn floor I did so and here Tam.
 THE SON.
 When the father was convicted he left an innocent little boy, only seven years of age, to be buffeted about by the waves of fortune not old enough to realize the terrible fate xhich had befallen his father. If 8 kind

An Excitement.

Last evening an excitement was created on Church street nearly opposite Wm. D. Bry- ans merchant tailoring store. A State street car struck man who,i was conjectured, had
 either attempted to run across the way in front of the car, or else had been lying across
 the track. Several prominent citizens re- paired to the police headquarters and gave the news, and several policemen were dis patched and conveyed the man, who seemed to be mortally injured, to the station house. Dr. F. J. Whittemore was summoned, but could find no evidence of serious injury. The town agent was notified and telephoned to the aims house, and wagon was sent down and the man was taken to the hospital. The report spread about town that the man was run over across the abdomen and would die The man was recognized as James Lyman, a young man of about 28. The police had lit tie trouble in identifying him. as he had been frequently arrested for minor offenses Later in the evening word came from the hospital, the purport of which was that the patient re- ceived from the almshouse wagon was unin- jured and very drunk, but that the institu- tion would, if so advised, keep him until morning, which advice was given.

Funeral of a WeH-Known Hartford
 Lady.


 Lady.
 The funeral of Mrs. Albert Keeney, who died on Monday night, took place from her late residence on Hudson street. Mrs. Kee- ney during her life was active in all good works, and especially among the poor will she be missed. Most of her time was devoted to Warburton chapel and its mission work, and here her death will be deeply felt. The teachers of the Warburton chapel Sunday school sent large and beautifully arranged cross to be placed upon the cloth covered casket which enclosed her remains. Her own class of young ladies sent broken wreath, while others sent standing anchor, sickle, a sheaf of wheat, crescent star and other en- blems, with profusion of choice cut flowers. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. William Thompson, D. D., of the Hart ford Theological Seminary, who officiated in the absence of Rev. G. l.. Walker, D. D., pastor of the Center church, of which Mrs. Keeney was a devoted member. At the con clusioa of the service at the house the body was conveyed to the hearse by Messrs. Pierce, Howe. Langdon and Hills, teachers in the Warburton Sunday school. The burial was two sons of the deceased whose loss she nev- CT ceased while in life to mourn and whose graves she visited weekly for years. num- Der of young ladies strewed the coffin with flowers after it had been lowered into the grave, and the singing of the hymn by the chapel choir closed the ervices.-Hdrtford Iiq1es
