Expired the Way to Bury Her Hus-
band.
A case of sudden death under somewhat
peculiar circumstances occurred Sunday at
that part of Trumbull known as Tashua. On
Friday last Mr.. John Tyrrill, respected res
ident of Stratfeld, just above this city, died.
His funeral took place from the Episcopal
church at Tashua. When the funeral cortege
reached the burial ground after the services at
the church it was noticed that Mrs. Tyrrill de-
layed in getting out of her carriage. Mr.. Miles
Hopkins, of this city, was with her, and upon
his addressing her she arose from her seat and
stepped out, he standing to receive her as she
came. AS she left the carriage she suddenly
sank down in his arms and expired. She
was Immediately conveyed to the house of
Mr.. Mallett near by, where a physician saw
her directly afterwards and pronounced her
dead. Subsequently the body was taken to
the house of Mr.. TyrrilPs mother, from
which the funeral will take place No in
quest was held, it being apparent that Mrs.
TyrrilPs death resulted from heart disease.
She had been long subject to the disease and
the grief and excitement which overcame her
on account of her husbands death undoubt-
eddy aggravated the trouble and caused her
demise. Mr.. Tyrrill was 40 years of age
Mrs. Tyrrill was about "a. Both have rela-
tives and many friends and acquaintance in
this city.-B'Tdgeport Farmer.
The Bakers Parade.
About forty of the members of the Jour
neymen Bakers Union made parade yester-
day morning headed by the Broadway band
through number of the principal streets of
the city. They had made demands asking
that the work days of a week should not ex-
coed six, nor the hours of labor twelve per
day also that no journeyman baker be al
lowed to board with his employer even if he
pays for such boarding Their parade at
tracted considerable attention. All wore
white caps They had each small shield on
their coat lappels which read ''Backer
Arbeiter Union" meaning Bakers Workers
Union" The line was cheered by brother
bakers out on the walk in front of s. S.
There were two marshals. When the men
returned to the hall, NJ. Ruther, vice presi-
dent of the Cigar Makers Union, delivered
short address to them, in which he extended
words of encouragement. After that there
was kind of social time among those pres
emit. The band played several selections in
the hall
A large majority of the bakers of the city
have acceded to the demand made. s. s.
Thompson & Co., who have the largest force
of employees, twenty-five in number, agreed

did not stop work, and SO with others. The
pay of experienced journeymen bakers is
from $11 to $14 per week by piece work
larger wages are made.
At meeting of the Journeymen Tailors'
Union held last evening in room IL, Insur-
ance building resolutions were passed stating
that ''the demands of the journeymen bakers
claiming the right to board where they
please, work no more than six days in the
week and no more than IL hours per day, are
entirely reasonable and in accord with the
declarations of the founders of this republic
which declare the right of every human
being to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness"; and that long hours of labor, un-
settled time for recreation and being COM
PEELED to board with their employer means |
shortening of life, loss of liberty and
destruction of happiness" The resolutions
further prescribed those bakers not accedinR |
to the demands of their workmen as enemies |
to free institutions and declaring the pur-
pose not to buy the product of any such |
baker, nor to patronize any grocers who buy |
from those bakers. Three bakers were spec
fled as not complying with the demands.
