Professor Dw1ght,s Petition.

Professor Timothy Dwight appeared before the Board of Public Works Saturday evening with petition signed by thirty or forty prominent citizens requesting that the Board delay the extension of the order for the re- moval of the posts at the entrances of the Green and Wooster Square. The delay was asked for in order that opportunity might be had to endeavor to induce the Court of Com mon Council to reconsider their action in the matter. Professor Dwight said that the removal of the posts would tend to destroy certain degree of privacy belonging to the parks and that with the material Instructions ont of the way there was danger that teams Would go upon the Green. He instanced Madison and Union Park Squares in New York to show that since the removal of the fences around them they had greatly deteriorated in tone and neatness from their former glory.
 Mayor Lewis thought that the fears of the petitioners were groundless. There was no danger that teams would ever be allowed ae cess upon the Green. The design of taking away the posts was to afford more conven tent facilities of entrance and exit for pedes- trians. If he had his way the fence would be removed altogether and the park enclosed only by stone coping.
 The Board decided to delay the execution of the order, so that the remonstrants would men and Councilmen.

TelephOnfc.

Many telephone users are having an i'm provenent added to the transmitter It is called the Patent Resonanter" and is sue cess. Its object is to protect the transmitter from all foreign noises which may prevent the message from being heard or given dis tinctly, while it enables the user to speak in low tone and be heard distinctly. Various trials have been made with it showing that whispering can be conducted through the telephone and distinctly heard as far as Hartford. This is very satisfactory to busi- ness men and others, especially when wish ing to send private message. The resonan- ter promises to be in great demand.

Found Dying i'm East Broadway, New York-The Remains Identified Later at the Undertakerss.
 The following brief item appeared in the New York Sun of yesterday morning:
 Letters addressed to Reuben Rice, New Haven, were found in the pockets of gray headed
 who died suddenly at 68 East Broadway last night.
 MT. Samuel Langdon, of Barker & Ran
 som's, this city, had his attention called to the item, and knowing that MT. Rice had gone to New York to visit friends, his fears were excited. Shortly after MT. Stephen Thayer, baggage master on the train from this city which arrived in New York at 6:25 yesterday morning, came into the office of Mir. Langdon and said he had, while in New York yesterday, seen the item in the Sun, and being acquainted with MT. Rice went down to the drug store to get the particulars. He learned at the drug. store, 68 Broadway, that the man spoken of in the paper had been brought into the store by several men and that he gasped and died ins a moment after being brought in. MT. Thayer inquired of po- lice officer, who said that the remains had
 been removed to the morgue where they were kept over night and then removed to an un- >.
 taker, MT. William Kennedy, No. 470 Pearl
 street, and stating his errand was shown the face of the deceased and recognized the de ceased instantly as Mr. Reuben Rice, of
 this city. Across the nose was a cut as if made by some weapon,
 or which might have been made in falling
 There were no valuables on the person of MT. Rice, but perhaps they had been removed at
 the police office for safe keeping or stolen
 from the body before it's removal to the drug
 store. MT. Langdon telegraphed to MT.
 George Mygatt, of Brooklyn, whom MT. Rice had gone to visit, and last night received a dispatch that the body was that of MT. Rice
 No particulars were sent.
 The news of his sudden death will cause a shock to the very large cir
 cle of friends of deceased MT. Rice was born in Wallingford andAFas the third son of Reuben Rice, formerly resident of this city. In his earlier days he was in dry goods business with Mr. George Mygatt on Chapel street, near where the store of F. A.
 Gilbert is now located. His enterprise not
 proving success he disposed of his business and went West. He returned about ten years ago and assumed the position of
 bookkeeper at Barker & Ransom's,
 which he held at his death.
 Deceased was a past grand and Q charter
 member of Montowese lodge, I. O. O. F., and was treasurer of the lodge at the time of
 his death; was a director in the I. O. O. F. Mutual Benefit association, member of Sassacus encampment and of Ridge1y Degree camp, I. O. o. F., and of the Veteran Odd Fellows association, and was an officer of the Odd Fellows Library association. His age was about sixty-fve.
