Randolph Dead.

In Prison About a Quarter of a Century
 The nurderer's Last Year.
 Soon after noon yesterday Isaac Randolph, colored, the oldest prisoner confined in the State prison, died at the prison at the ad- vanced age of 72 years. For number of years past he had been paraiyzed in the lower limbs, and was obliged to be lifted In and out of roller chair, by which he was won't to propel himself about the prison halls. Most of his time was passed in what is known as ''quarantine' or the lower hos pital, and visitors to the prison will recall him to mind sitting in his chair He was convicted in the Superior court of this coun- ty on July 16, 1856, for the murder of hl wife in this city. He was living on whatis now Washington street near Howard avenue, then known as ttSodom Hill" After the con- mission of the deed he buried part of the re- mains in the garden and part he cut up and burned in his stove. He was sentenced to be hanged for the commission of the crime, but the sentence was commuted to imprison- ment for life. Until he lost the use of his limbs he was noted for his strength, and was said to be able to perform the work of two men. In disposition he was very tractable and caused but little trouble to the prison officials during his long term of confne- ment.
 For the past twenty years he has petition ed each legislature for a pardon.

Roads and Bridges.

The committee on Roads and Bridges held a meeting in rooms 10 and Il City Hall last evening, Alderman Townsend presiding.
 The bridge across Mill river at Rock Lane was considered, and S. E. Baldwin, W. W. Farnam, C. O. Blatchley and Eli Whitney, jr., appeared in favor of the bridge. The East Rock Park commission advocated the building of the bridge by the city. They said that the Park commission could not pay any portion of the cost owing to their appro- priation being limited.
 City Engineer Hill estimated the cost of an iron bridge at the point named at between $4, ,OoO and $5, ,O0O.
 The next matter considered was the cross- ings over the Shore Line railroad track in Fair Haven, between Pine street and Ferry path. Several parties appeared and advo- cated the erection of gates. Letters were also read from Hiram Camp, Father Mulhel- land and others, advocating the erection of the gates. It was stated that several per- sons had within few years been injured or killed outright by crossing these tracks. Large numbers of people, it was said, had been injured while going to or from their homes to their work. It was thought by the advocates of the petition that Ferry path was the most dangerous locality.
