Edward Stevens.


 The community will learn with sadness of the death of Mir. Stevens, which occurred yesterday afternoon at his residence No. z Wooster Place For a number of years he
 has been sufferer and an invalid, but the immediate cause of death was prostration,
 following an attack of bilious fever. He
 spent the past summer at Cheshire where his health considerably improved. The severe heat of early September brought the attack of fever which so exhausted his strength that he could not rally Mr. Stevens was 8 native
 of Cheshire, coming to this city in early life and going to England in the service of Mr. Chauncey Jerome, whose daughter he soon afterward married. He remained abroad 8 number of years and returned to assume the position of secretary of the New Haven Clock company.
 In the management of the affairs of the New Haven Clock company he evinced so much talent that he became widely known as one of the best business men in the city. Quick to discern the good qualities of men, and ready with his sympathy and assistance, he was greatly endeared to the contractors and employees at the factory, and it was a sad day for them all when he was compelled l to retire from his place among them. About
 thirteen years ago he became much interested 1 in the little Davenport church, then in the Greene street chapel. He became meember with them, leaving the Center church for that purpose, when they entered their present house of worship. His wise counsels, earnest prayers and cheerful gifts have been large factor in the rapid growth and prosperity of that church. It is owing ! chiefly to him that it's considerable indebted ! ness has been entirely hquidated and that it \ Il. 4l,aa
 nifty. The people of that church sympathized with him most earnestly in his suferings and l deeply mourn his loss. MT. Stevens was 50 years of age. He leaves wife, two sons and
 a daughter. The latter is the wife of MT. F. E. Morgan, present secretary of the Clock company. They have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their great afiiction. | Mr. Stevens leaves behind him most envia- ble record as a man of affairs, eminent and honorable; faithful friend and 8 true Chris
 tian in his family, his church and the com l munity. He will be greatly missed and sin | cerelY mourned.

Alterations tn tlae Webster school
 Building Architect Robinson to
 Give the scholars More Light and
 Air-The Scholars in the Fair Street
 school to Have . sewing Teacher at
 e25 Year.
 The Webster school building on George street, corner of York, has been used since 1854 as e school building with very few al- terations. For long time it has been the source of many complaints from scholars and teachers as to the light, ventilation, stairways, etc. The Board of Education, through the Committee on School Buildings, has been Investigating the building and has decided to make such alterations in the building as will make it more comfortable. Last night at meeting of the Board of Edu- cation it was voted to accept the plans and specifications of T. w. Robinson for the re- pairs of the building The plan is to alter rooms Nos. g, 7, 5 particularly, by putting in windows and making other changes which will much improve the building. MT. Rob \ inson's bid was the lowest received, $465. | The work is to be done between the day be- | fore Thanksgiving and the first of Decem- ! ber while the schools have a vacation Trees will be removed where necessary tc | give good light.
 | The matter of supplying the school build l ings with hand grenades was brought up and | laid upon the table. It would cost $500 tC | supply the different buildings.
 A communication from Emily M. Fitch secretary and treasurer of the Children's Aid society, and Theodosia M. Dexter, superin tendent of visitors committee, was read l The communication asked for an appropria | ton of $25 per annum to assist in paying { l very small salary to the present teacher o1 sewing in the Fair street school, Miss Wild man. The ladies of the Children's Aid soci ety have been conducting sewing school 1T connection with the Fair street school l in which scholars of that school art
 taught to sew their own garments. In many cases of poor children they sadly need tht clothes they make. The ladies have sustain ed the expense of cloth and other things l Their communication was read by Superin tendent Dutton. The matter provoked con siderable discussion. MT. O'Brien said h.
 didn't think the Board had any right to mak
 an appropriation towards paying salary t'
 person who was not under control of th'
 Board. He didn't think that charitable O missionary work was the province of tn
 Board of Education. MT. Strong said tn
 Board had appropriated $500 for 8 sinila purpose. The Board voted to employ Ms
 Wildman as a teacher of sewing and appro
 priated $25 for one year from the fund fo
 manual training, thus getting around MT O'Brien's objection. The communication
 was then laid upon the table.
 The Board adjourned after some furthe
 discussion of minor topics.

Serenades Last Night and Speeches By
 Congressman Mitchell, Ex-Governor
 English, TrOup and Others.
 Democratic enthusiasm and joy oyer the claim of Cleveland's election found expres- sion last night in parade of the Mitchell phalanx and guard, the Ingerso1 phalanx and stcitizens." The Second regiment band took the lead, followed by the 15O uniformed men, a delegation from the Seventh ward and an unnumbered rabble of small boys armed with horns and tin-pan drums. A great noise was made, some red light was burned and a few Roman candles fired off. A num- Der of transparencies and posters were car ried bearing now familiar extracts from MT. Blaine's letters
 Congressman Mitchell was first serenaded, and responded: ''We can now say for the first time in g years that we are successful. dent and on the 4th of March next we will place in the White House Governor Grover Cleveland We have stood greater opposition than ever a party had before, opposed by an expert enced, crafty trickster and an organized army of ofhceholders. We won because our prin5
  of the people and for the people. Mitchell guard and escort, you have done your work nobly. Ihave been elected by double my previous majority. I am proud of your posi- tion the past campaign. Wherever you have been there has never been word of scorn or offence spoken against you"
 Alexander Troup replied to a serenade: e'It is a source of greatest qualification that we have not only elected a majority of represen- tatives in Congress but also a President and Vice President. The desperation of our poli- ica1 opponents has kept us in suspense for AS hours. I have received authentic re- ports of the success of our candidates in New York State. It gives a substantial plurality for Cleveland. The people have elected him and the people will inaugurate him. Next Tuesday we will have a grand jollifcation. Make it such one as has not been seen in New Haven for fifty years. I thank you for what you have done for me- Your confidence shall not be be- trayed in me- shall be the representative of all the people,"
 Senator-elect Robertson was called on. He expressed his thanks and congratulated the party on the November victory.
 Ex-Governor English replied to the sere- made: 'I thank you for this visit. I see by the evening paper that Jay Gould has sent lating him on his election to the presidency. That decides it. What Jay Gould does not know about the election is not worth knowing. The country may rejoice if the victory is won. There will now be new epoch in the politi- cal history of the people. The country will be dragged out of the ruts of a generation of misru1e. Connecticut may well be proud of her share in this victory; so may New Haven and you members of these companies"
 Mir. Pigott was called on, but could only bow his acknowledgements, being prevented by cold from speaking.

MT. Paul Russo and the New Haven
 Italians.
 MT. Paul Russo writes as follows: In the Evening Register of November 3 appeared an article headed ''Working the Scare Dodge," which would have been answered at that time only for the fact was too busy. II. is true am interested in my countrymen, the Italians of New Haven, and am anxious to have them cut loose from this binding them to Italy and become in fact citizens of this grand country. I have obtained papers declaring their intentions and admitting them to citizenship and shall do the same thing again. That is more than any Italians have ever done in this city. I shall not be the servant of any party, but do this because I am anxious my countrymen as Ameri- can citizens shall have noble ambition as freemen as they have been at home. The story that they should work for twenty-five cents day is false. I was approached by agents of both parties to work for them. I refused. am glad to earn all the money I can honestly. But will not sell my own freedom and the confidence of my country men for all the money of both parties and the Independents thrown in.
