The union memorial service at the Congre- gational church yesterday afternoon was very interesting Rev. Mir. Squires, the pas tor, delivered an address highly appropriate and well timed. The Rev. Mir. Kidder, of the M. E. church, followed with short ad- dress. There was large congregation, the Methodists meeting with them. The choir under the leadership of Wm. A. Cross sang several selections finely. Mir. Cross finely sang solo. Miss Amelia Smith presided at the organ and played excellently. The altar was tastefully decorated with emblems of mourning The Methodist and Episcopal churches had their altars appropriately draped in mourning in memory of our late President also large number of the pri- vate residences in the borough were draped in mourning emblems. Yesterday in the center was like the Sabbath, the workshops, the stores and markets being closed.

Fatally Shot.

Young Man While Taking a Gun From
 a Wagon Is Shot Through the Body-He
 Dies in a Few Minutes.
 most serious accident and one which re- suited fatally to young man named Frank Tucker occurred in Westville about o'clock yesterday afternoon. Young Tucker with his father, who is John Tucker, have been employed for some time at Beecher's match factory. They lived in the town of Hamden, just over the New Haven line on Crescent street near the Beaver Ponds They kept a team and drove out to the Beecher factory every morning, returning at night. On last Saturday they made arrangements with two shopmates, named Henry Van Hosen and Charles Hinnan, to go on gunning expedi- ton on the Monday following, as the shop was to be closed on account of the Presi- dents funeral. They drove to Westville on Sunday evening and staid all night, and yes- terday morning started on their gunning ex- petition, MT. Fuckers horse being hitched to beach wagon obtained by MT. Hinman. They returned about 1 80 D. m yesterday, and after shifting the horse from the beach wagon to MT. Fuckers buggy, preparatory to starting for home, young Tucker went to the wagon to take out the guns, which had been rolled in blanket and placed in the bottom of the wagon. He went to the rear, and, taking one of the guns by the muzzle, proceeded to draw it toward him. As he did so the hammer struck the tail board, the gun was discharged and the entire contents entered the young mans body just at the pit of the stomach. He staggered a moment, fell backward, and in about twenty minutes expired. Dr. Smith was speedily summoned, but life was nearly extinct before he reached the unfortunate young man. His father, who was present, was wild with grief, and fell in swoon, and it was some time before he recovered. Word was sent to Chief Webster by telephone, and he went to the scene with all speed. After consultation it was decided that an inquest would be unnecessary under the circum- stances, and the body was removed to the home of the afflicted parents in wagon pro- vided by Thomas Collins, of this city, who happened to be in Westville at the time. The father was so overcome that he had to be taken home in hack Young Tucker was about IT years of age

Shore Travel.

There was great rush to the West Haven shore yesterday afternoon to escape the heat of the. city, which was intolerably op- pressive, unlike ''cool September" and very like the hottest of July and August days. It was companion day for that matter to the day before. The thermometer was close on to the nineties in the shade in this city. At the shore cooler atmosphere was found, there being good breeze from of Long Is land Sound. As early as one o'clock people began to flock to the horse cars, which after that hour ran full to overfowing until late in the afternoon. The return trips from five o'clock till late in the evening were busy trips for the conductors, the cars being laden with passengers.

The Humorous Artist.
Interesting Account Of Willard, whose Pictures are We'll Known.
 [From the Buffalo Courier.l

Interesting Account of Willard, whose
 Pictures are We'll Known.
 [From the Buffalo Courier.l
 Everybody is familiar with picture in which Little boy is seated in a cart trying to hold in dog harnessed to vehicle, but in fierce pursuit of rabbit. One little girl sits beside the plucky boy and another has been jolted out of the cart, while in the distance the dismayed mother contemplates the run away. This spirited sketch was first painted on the side of 8 wagon in village of north ern Ohio, where Ryder, the Cleveland photo grapher, was struck by it's merits. It was the work of MT. Willard, who had painted it as bit of diversion to relieve the ordinary drudgery of his trade. Ryder gave the me- chanic artist $2OO for Q copy of the sketch on canvas, and, repeated in photographs and chromos, it became popular all over the country. Willard's next great hit was ''Dea- con Jones' Experience, a picture of family prayer interrupted by fight between a cat and dog. Ryder doubled the popularity of this sketch by getting Bret Harte to write verses appropriate to it for the sum of $25O At the centennial the Ohio artist made his mark by another well known picture called Yankee Doodle" This is the familiar painting in which three continental musicians, two drum mers and fifer, are leading the troops on the battlefield. All the figures are studies from life. The central figure, the brave old drummer is a portrait of Willard's aged father. The ffer is that of local performer on this instrument, much in request at par ades of the militia, and the boy drummer is portrait of 8 son of General Devereaux, president of the Atlantic and Great Western railroad, boy at that time about 12 or IA years of age. Since then Willard has been busy at all sorts of job work and has painted numbers of pictures, more or less popular. Perhaps the best known among them is the caricature of Raphaers celebrated cherubs, in which Butler and Kearney appear as the angels. A painting called 'Jim Bludsoe" was submitted to the New York public, and the art critics of the metropolis laughed it into obscurity. Willard was modest enough to acknowledge the justness of their censure and he has fallen back to fNishing photo graphs and drawing designs for advertisers. He is man about forty-two years of age, of massive frame and unassuming manners. He still hopes to get means for a tour in Europe, where he may enjoy leisure to study art and overcome the technical difficulties of paint ing Nature made him an artist, but it is to be feared that he found out the secret too lot ;r
