Death of a Prominent Bridgeport
 Physician.

So ire quent had become these attacks that his wife became alarmed and did not allow him to go anywhere alone, his son, about 9 years of age, always going with him when visiting patients.
 Saturday night Dr. Abernethy experienced a severe attack of pains and Dr. Hubbard at tended Sunday night he had another at tack and Dr. Lauder was hastily summoned, but before he arrived the doctor was dead. The cause is attributed to angina pectoris, a certain form of heart disease.

Davenport, of Waterbury, a former pastor, and Rev. F. D. Hopkins, the present minis ter will officiate. Drs. Hubbard and Laud and the following physicians will act as pail bearers: Drs.

The First Keen TwInge.

As the season advances the pains and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known are experienced after every exposure. It is not claimed that Hoods Sarsaparilla is specific for rheumatism-we doubt if there is benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla warrant us in urging others who suffer from rheumatism to take it before the first keen twinge.

Heads and Tails Roth Win.

The towns of Avon and Canton paid boun- ties last year for killing woodchucks. But it seems that Avon took the animals tail as proof that he was disposed of, while Canton demanded the ears. Woodchuck hunters gratified them both, and the unprecedented demand for bounties finally made the Select men of the two places aware that they were paying double and put stop to the bounty system on that basis.

Mournful Howl on Chapel Street
 A News Vender UnIoads.
 The talk over election continues the all absorbing topic Hundreds of men were out on Chapel street last night to hear the news and discuss the situation. Leading Repub icans expressed themselves as quite confident that the result would show that MT. Blaine received the most votes in New York State and was legally elected President. Promi- nent Democrats and Republicans agreed that all that there was to do was to wait and many expressed the belief that the question would not be settled to-day and might drag along for week or ten days yet. Early last evening some commotion was created by the stentorian shouts of New York newspaper vender, who was believing "All about the riot in New York city.n He rushed off quite load of New York papers and the buyers, after a vain hunt, rightly concluded that the riot was one of the news-vender's own lnven- tion. New Haven gentlemen avowed the1I readiness to shoulder musket and march to New York in case Blaine should be declared elected and there seemed to be blood in their eyes as they spoke, but up to late hour last evening all was quiet on the Potomac and the feeling everywhere expressed on all sides was that simple fair play in the case was all that anybody ought to demand.

THE OCTOROON.

The play entitled the 'EOctoroon" was pre- scented under the auspices of the National Blues (Co D, Second regiment) at the New Haven Opera House last evening to fair sized audience. The play in itself is a good one and the company which presented it are
 deserving of especial praise. Most of the names of those taking part will be recognized as the play was presented by local talent. The acting of Miss Virginia Nelson as "Zoe" was very good, as was also that of Mrs. Kate Corey as E'Peyton.' Miss Annie French as ''Dora Sunnyside, a southern belle and heir ess to Sunnyside, was all that could be de- sirad, she showing herself entirely at home on4the stage and an actress of no mean abil- ity and the applause she received showed her to be favorite. MT. Charles Rafile, who took the part of "Jacob McClosky," an over seer. and Dr. Frank Gallagher as "Salem Scudder,'' upheld their former reputation as actors of good ability. Other members of the company were F. H. Melrose, George Butler, William w. Lycut, Frank Carlin, T. F. German, Carl Parsons, John Blake, Henry Doane, l. M Garrison, R. H. Williams, H. Parsons, Annie Palmer, Flossie Sanford, Minnie Jerold and Rose Carlton. The com pany as a whole was good and too much can not be said in praise of them.

AMERICAN THEATER.

Over one thousand votaries filed out of the American Theater about half-past ten o'clock last night, after having passed delightfu, evening witnessing the first production of the three-act musical comedy entitled 'sThe Boarding School" The audience unanim- ously pronounced the play frst-class in every respect Judging by the numerous expres- sions of approbation heard on all sides last evening, crowding houses will be the order during the week. Harry Mack has arranged ''The Boarding School" and under the management of MT. W. c. Cameron it is presented to the public in such a manner as to reflect very creditabIy upon the author and the company. From first to last the play is replete with comical situations, and the musical and farcical specialties give the tout ensemble pleasant variety. Miss Ellani, young, petite and yivacious soubrette, ably sustains the title role. Possessed of enviable histrionic attain ments and fascinating ways, she at once in eratiated herself into the good fayors of the audience. Her representation of spoiled child is very we'll done. James E. Radclie, as "Professor Jeremiah Gimcrack, IL. D., D. D. and N. G." keeps the audience in roars of laughter His musical speclaltles are very amusing. Altogether the company is a fine one and well deserve week of lib eral patronage.
