Death of a Child.

Died yesterday of peritonitis, key, oldest child of MT. and Mrs. Goodrich Lauber, re- siding at No. 112 St. John street. Little key was an unusually bright and promising child, the pet of all who knew him, winning everybody by his remarkably winning man ners and speech and rare attractiveness of person. Although so young, his loss is felt by large circle who deeply sympathize with the bereaved parents in their loss of one so intelligent for one of his age, six years and eight months, so interesting and engag- ing and one withal endeared to so many He had been pupil at Eaton school for about year and here too was great favor ite. Everything that the most devoted care and loving hands coupled with the best medical skill could do were unavailing to save it's life, and the child's demeanor in it's illness, patience in suffering and thoughtful expressions attached to it's death an unwont- ed sadness. The funeral takes place this af ternoon at o'clock from the residence of the family.

IN NEED OF CRUSHED STONE.

The City Applies To The Town
 For Assistance In Their Dilemma.
 The Board of Public Works after their meeting last evening met with the Board of Selectmen His Honor the Mayor was ap- pointed to preside. He stated that the ob- ject of the meeting was to ascertain if the city could be accommodated with stone to complete Whitney avenue and such other work as stone might be needed for until such time as the city lowing to the burning of their works) was in position to make suit able stone for paving.
 MT. Reynolds said the town was willing to do anything to accommodate the city that was in their power. If the city paid for the removal of the crusher from East Haven to Westville he would, so far as he was con cerned, be willing to say that the town would furnish the city the stone that they needed at $1 25 per cubic yard.
 After discussion the Board of Public Works voted to accept the proposition as made by the Board of Selectmen through Mr. Reynolds.
 1t was stated that there would be needed for the completion of Whitney avenue to Gamer street between 700 and 800 cubic yards of stone of the No. 2 or medium size.
 An informal talk was had on the subject of the town crushing all the stone for the city in the future, but no decision was reached, it being decided to consider the matter more formally at some future meeting of the joint boards.
