Morgan died this morning at about 8 o'clock.

Morgan died this morning at about o'clock. He remained conscious up to within an hour of his death, and died in peaceful manner, strongly in contrast with his recent fearful
 suffering. Around his bedside at the time
 were his wife, his grandson, Edwin D. Nor gan, jr., who lives next door, Dr. Wander
 peel, his private secretary Mir. Merritt and
 his partner, John T. Ferry. As soon as
 death came message was sent to President
 Arthur, who is expected to be present at the
 funeral services Had MT. Morgan lived un-
 til next August he intended to have celebrat-
 ed his golden wedding. Mrs. Morgan was a
 Miss Waterman of Hartford. She is 73
 years old and is bearing up well. Large
 numbers of prominent business men called
 this morning, among them Cyrus W. Field,
 Russell Sage, Jay Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt
 and ex-Postmaster General James.
 Edwin P. Morgan was native of Berk- shire county, Mass, being born Feb. 8, 1911. In 1922 he came, with his family, to Wind scr, Conn, and at IF years of age he became clerk in his uncle's wholesale grocery in Hartford, in which he soon after became a partner. At 21 years he was elected to the Common Council of Hartford, his first office In 1886 he removed to New York and estab- l lished himself in the grocery jobbing trade | with capital of $4 ,00o, being associated for l a time with Morris Earle and A. D. Pom sroy. This business in time assumed great l proportions He was elected 8 New York I State Senator in 1843 and served until 1845. ! He was elected Governor of the State of New | York in 1859 and continued in office through l 1863. He was one of the most efficient | war Governors, as they were called, in the | country. From 1861 to 1863 he held the l rank of major general of the volunteers, l serving without pay. In 1868 he was elected | United States Senator, a position he filled 1 for six years. When President Lincoln was l re elected in 1864, Governor Morgan was | offered the Secretaryship of the Treasury, ! which he declined. His life was a useful | one to his country, and his death will be uni | yersally mourned by all classes. A self made 1 man, he lived righteous life of uprightness 1 and integrity.

THE OLD WORLD.
Ireland.

The Murder TriaIs-Unfair Methods Enl-
 pIoyed by the PrOsecution-The Drift Of
 English Sentiment.
 From the Irish Special News Agency.l
 LONDON, Feb. 14.-The conduct of the cable officials in the Phoenix Park murder is most unfair and elicits severe com ment over England. Counsel for the crown adopt bullying tone toward the prisoners and their counsel They allow the court room to be crowded by landlords and their wives to the exclusion of all who are known to be opposed to the government policy. On the last day of the examination these stran- gers loudly cheered the remarks of the crown counsel in summing up the evidence, while the faintest mark of approval of anything on the prisoners side is promptly and sternly sup pressed. Against three of the prisoners only is the evidence as to the actual share in the murder confirmed by independent testi- mony. Two are charged with participation, but only on the evidence of informers. Four are charged with treason felony of ancient date, also on the evidence of informers alone. and against five others there is no evidence of any kind, yet all the prisoners are treated alike and kept in solitary confinement
 While Chief Secretary Trevelyan has made speech worthy of the worst days of Forster, Herbert Gladstone persists in advo- eating large reforms in the local administra- ton in Ireland. The "Irish government" he said in Leeds, on Monday last, t'now rests on Scotch and English majorities in the Brit ish Parliament" Home rule he said should be considered on it's merits and there were strong priori arguments for it's adoption and he did not see that the establishment of 8 Parliament in Dublin would endanger the Queens authority in Ireland. In connection with this speech must be taken the remarka- ble words used by Premier Gladstone in his late interview with M. Clemenceau at Cannes: s'The curse of Ireland" |" he said, ''has been centralization. What I hope and desire, what labor for and have all things at heart is to decentralize the administrative authority in Ireland. There we are now," he continued, trying to produce state of things which will make the humblest Irishman realize that he is governing agency and that the gov ernment is to be carried on by him and for him." These two speeches with others re- gently delivered indicate difference of opinion among the English liberals which may come to something
 man named Tutty was arrested here to- night charged with conspiracy to murder.
 In the commission court to-day Carran, who was charged with the murder of farm CT named East in July last in the presence of his wife and eight children, was acquitted. The judge's charge strongly favored the prisoner.

The Taylor Church.

Dedication Exercises and a Sermon by
 Rev. Newman Smyth.
 The expectations of the most sanguine among the friends of the new Congregational church in Newhallville, named after the late Nathaniel Taylor, must have been more than gratifed, considering what sort of night it was, by the assemblage of so large an audi ence last evening at the dedication. There were present of the ministry and taking part in the services, Rev. Dr. Todd of the Church of the Redeemer, Rev. Newman Smyth, Rev. Thomas R. Bacon of the Dwight Place church, Rev. MT. Kelsey of the College street church and Rev Mir. Jones, pastor of the Taylor church. The exercises were such as are usual when 8 new Congregational church IS dedicated. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Newman Smyth, of the Center church, his text being part of a verse in the 9th chapter of Second Book of Chronicles ''So the house of the Lord was perfected The main thought of the dis course was that the worth of any work de- pended upon the ideas which governed it's accomplishment. The church is the work of the family and it is 8 creation for the good of the neighborhood. Experience proves that the church is to many people in the nature of home. It represents what is best in the social system. There are other social institutions, like the club and various associations in social life, but the church is the best of all, for it is founded on truth and love. More than that, religion is not selfishness and not for one alone, but for all the human family, for the people in it's vicinity and the commu- nifty wherein it is established Infidelity might enter a city and criticise sermon, but there were earnest Christians who would put their hands in their pockets to advance the interests of religion and thus perform the nobler work, for it would be in behalf of the whole people.
 The dedicatory prayer was by Rev. Dr. Todd, and Rev. MT. Jones, who has done much good work in that section of the city in awakening an interest in religious improve ment, pronounced the benediction.

Funeral of Mrs. Herman Jente.


 It was a deeply sorrowing throng that gathered yesterday afternoon at the resi- dence No. 93 Bristol street, to pay the last duties which earth permits to their departed friend Mrs. Herman Jente The deceased was the only daughter of MT. and Mrs. Gott- lieb Lehman, of Beacon Falls, and during the few short years that she walked in the pass ages of time her heart reached out and fold ed to itself warm and loving companionship. Of a gentle, unobtrusive nature, she had wealth of kindly disposition that attracted to it's sphere the friendship of all who came within it's influence. Beautiful in life she was even so in death, and as she lay cold and motionless in the casket it seemed that only the stiffness of earthly sleep had come across her spirit. Rev. Mir. Siebke stood beside the remains and in beautiful words of sympathy offered consolation to the stricken hearts about him. His words were uttered in the English and German languages To the sor- rowing parents, bereft of their only child, he offered the balm of Christian hope to the desolate husband, robbed forever of the heart that had wound about his own, he held out the peace and comfort that religion can alone impart; and for the child deprived in it's earliest infancy of the tender care of moth CT he bespoke tic sympathy of kindly hearts. On the casket, which was heavy broadcloth one with silver extension handles, furnished by Stahl S Hegel, under whose direction the funeral arrangements were conducted, rested some beautiful floral tributes, among them being large anchor bearing the words 'sMy Wife" and pillow with the words "Our Daughter" The cortege that followed the remains to their resting place in Evergreen cemetery was large and sorrowful ono, and their hearts went out in sympathy to the be- reaved husband and parents. The bearers were Otto Dieter, Henry Hellwig, Gustav Pfeifer, J. Barlow, MT. Wooster and MT. Oaoond
