 Death of William y. O'Connsn.
 The sad news has reached his friends in New Haven of the death of William J. O'Con- nell, who was formerly for about ten years a resident of this city. He passed away at an early hour Easter Sunday morning in his 35th year at Adare, in the county Limerick, Ireland. In 1867 he left his native h6me in Ireland to seek fortune on this side of the Atlantic, and after spending five years in New York came to New Haven where he es- tablished himself in the carpentering busi- ness, afterward starting the firm known as O'Connell Bros. This firm contracted for many buildings in this city and vicinity, and did most of the building and repairing for the Middletown and Danbury Savings bank. The deceased was affected with lung troubles, from which he sought relief in several trips to his home in Ireland, the last one being made in January. It wa3 hoped that the change might prove beneficial, but though surrounded by the loving hearts of his fam fly and friends, and ministered to by fond mother and sisters, death came to his relief and ended the struggle. The deceased leaves 0 wife, sister of the late Captain Maurice F. Brennan, and two children, the oldest being but three years old. He has two brothers also living in this city, and the sympathies of many friends will be given to them in their sad bereavement.
