Death of the Miller Boys.

Killed by . Stroke of LightnIng-Partic- ulars of the Sad Affair.
 On Monday last, as published in the COURIER, dispatch was received by Chief Webster announcing the death of two sons of E. J. Miller. a former resident of this city,
 by stroke Of lightning. The State Journal published at Lincoln, Neb., gives further de-
 tails in regard to the sad affair. From the Journal we learn that boy riding along the
 road saw the bodies of the boys lying under large cottonwood tree washed by the tor rents of water that ran down the doping ground. When the place was reached most
 shocking sight was presented. Lying under the tree were the bodies of
 three boys, aged respectively twelve. four
 teen and sixteen years. The bark Of the
 tree was split and peeled from the trunk and
 the water of the drenching rain was running
 around and under the bodies so as almost to
 move them from their places. They were
 lying upon their backs close together with
 their feet nearer together than their heads,
 indicating that they had fallen backward at
 the electric stroke. The bodies were re-
 moved to the town and taken to an under
 takers where they were viewed by large
 number of persons. The bodies of the two
 Miller boys were recognized by their sister,
 and when Miss Miller saw the bodies she threw herself upon them and frantieally called them by name. The third boys name
 was Ernest Smith. From playmate of the boys it was learned that they had gone out fishing and he was going with them. but finally changed his mind and remained at home. Willie was struck upon the right shoulder. His clothes were burnt some and the assh blaekened, but the marks were slight. Robbie showed no mark until undress- ed. His watch had hole through the upper case large enough to stick lead pencil in, the crystal was broken and the chain melted. His shirt under the watch was burnt and. the boys left side and leg burnt so that the skin peeled of; both shoes showed where the bolt passed through on it's way to the earth. Mrs. Miller was so much prostrated by the affair that a physician was summoned. She soon rallied and was sustained by her noble Christian heart.
 The Miller family when in this city resided iD the brick dwelling corner of Dwight street and Whalley avenue. The little boys were very bright and lively and much beloved by their schoolmates here and they were fa- ] vorites among the families in Dwight street. The family have the sympathies of their New l Haven friends in their bereavement.

The .IerRial, Cemetery.

Handsome improvement of the
 GrOunds-AbOut Trsbled in SIze-A
 Gateway on Jewell Street.
 The Jewish cemetery on Whalley avenue, opposite Hamilton Park, has been very much improved and enlarged of late, and the work is now about completed. The cemetery has been enlarged to about three times it's old size by the addition of a4large tract in the rear opening on Jewell street, which was named in honor of the late ex-Governor Jew ell, and connects Whalley avenue with Blake street. An entrance gate has been erected on Jewell street which, in size and design, adds much to the fine appearance of the grounds. A handsome wide driveway has been made through the cemetery, a good hard finished road with an easy ascent from Whalley av- enue, the sides of which are of solid stone work. The grounds fronting on the avenue are now terraced lawn, the grass neatly kept. and in the rear of the cemetery on the new ground 8 large circular plot has been laid out for flowers and foliage plants In the past five or six years $S,O00 or $9,OU0 has been expended in enlarging and beautify- ing the cemetery. Those who have the man aeement estimate that this burial place of the Hebrew population of New Haven IS now large enough, with the new addition or Iand, to serve it's purpose for one hundred years to come. The driveway added is eighteen feet in width and on each side is side walk three feet in width. In the center is spot wide enough for carriages to turn around. Twenty hydrants have also been added to the grounds. There are about 100 new lots. The officers of the cemetery association are: President, Louis Feldman; vice president, Max Adler; treasurer, Maier Zunder; secretary, Siegwart Spier; trustees, M. Mann, Louis Osterweis, M. Kahn, A. Sachs, M. Sonnenberg, M. Zunder, j.. Feld- man, M. Adler, s. Spier, Edward EBgel
