Death of a Promising Young M,

The death of Cornelius Flynn, which oc- cured at his home on Oak street on Thurs day, though not wholly unexpected, cast a gloom over a wide circle of friends and as- sociates. In the summer of 1879 he con-
 tracted a severe cold, which baffied all at tempts to dislodge it, and which finally
 settled on the lungs, superinducing pulmon- ary consumption. Since last July he has been unable to attend to business, the shadow of death constantly lowering about un til, at the early age of 25, it rested upon him. MT. Flynn was member of the now defunct Anchor Social club, having been it's
 first president, and of many other local or ganizations. In social life he was genial, kindly and companionable, while his business ! career was marked by integrity and close at | tention to detail. He will be missed by his ! friends and associates, who esteemed him for | his manly worth and generous disposition. His funeral, which takes place tomorrow af- | ternoon, will be attended by all the social or ganizations of the city, St. Joseph's Literary society and the Sarsfeld Guard, of which he | was member at the time of his death. A l band has been engaged by the Sarsfelds. Young men not connected with attending so- cieties are invited to join the funeral cortege. | After Easter Performances by New York Amateur Dramatic Clubs.
 The society gassip of the New York Ssta
 has the following: ! Next to amateur music, amateur theatricals
 seem to be occupying the most time and 1 thought among saints and sinners at this dead fo, oka formances' are going briskly on in these dramatic clubs, and on Easter Tuesday very noteworthy representation is to take place, which is not connected with any club what ever It is to be for the Childrens Aid so- ciety, a charity which appeals strongly to every woman's heart, and in which Mrs J. J. Astor has so warmly and iberally interested
 herself. It is hoped and expected that a handsome sum will be realized for
 this excellent society by the sale of tickets for the excellent performance. The first play will be the Wonder full Woman" . sentimental drama ad- mitting of much ornamentation in the way of dress and jewels, and on account of the romantic interest of the plot always favor ite with amateur artists. It will be remem-
 bered that this play was acted many years ago at MT. Jerome's theatre for the benefit of
 the Sanitary Commission during the war of
 the rebellion, at which time Mrs. George T.
 Strong and MT. Edward H. Anderson took
 the principal parts. On the same evening
 Mrs. Alexander B. Mott and Mir. w. P.
 Talboys appeared in an, amusing little come-
 dietta called s"rhe Dowager,'' while
 Mrs C. F. Blake and Miss Theresa Meert
 brought down the house by their admirable
 acting in '"The Two Buzzards." At the com
 ing representation Mrs. James B. Potter will
 take the part of the wonderful woman, and
 will be supported by MT. Clifford Curtis, Mrs.
 Clarence Cary, Miss Justine Ingerson, and
 MT. G. G. Rowland, jr. "Old Love Letters''
 will be the afterpiece, and in this Miss Jus
 tine Ingersoll, of New Haven, will take the
 female part, the gentleman who is to play
 with her not having been decided on. It is
 expected that more than one performance
 will be given, as with such attractions the
 demand for tickets will probably be great.
