The Lucky Man.

Geo. A, Spear. the lucky man who
drew the $50 900 in the Louisiana State
Lottery, was met by The Tribune scribe
last evening in the post office. He has
not changed any since the good news
came, with the possible exception that
his face Is now often bedecked with
smiles. The wealth so suddenly heaped
upon him has not elevated his head
above the common herd, and he talked
to the reporter the same as he used to.
In answer to questions he said: :" will

Death ofmr. A. F- wood.

MT. A. F. Wood, the we'll known druggist, for many years proprietor of the drug store at the corner of Church and George streets, died at his residence, corner of Second ave- nue and Wood street, West Haven, yesterday morning at 9:30. He had been suffering with lung troubles for several years past, which finally caused his death. Winter be- fore last he took a tour and enjoyed the milder climes of the Bermudas and came back somewhat benefited, but all that the best care and medical skill could do was
 unavailing. He was about 6l years of age
 and was born in Woodbury, Conn, where he lived until he came to this city to enter the drug business. He at first served as clerk
 under Dr. Dow, whose store was near what is now the New Haven House. He sometimes
 walked back to Woodbury Saturday nights
 and walked back to the store on Monday
 mornings, finding benefit from the change
 and the exercise. He started in business for
 himself in 1845 on the corner where his store
 now stands. The present fine commodious brick building on the corner was erected by Dr. Wood ten or twelve years ago. He leaves an estate estimated at about $1OO, ,000.
 He was a Freemason and was one of the
 projectors of St. Thomas parish this city.
 He was first treasurer of that church and 8
 vestryman from the founding of the church
 until his death. He was a very intelligent and
 conscientious man and valuable citizen. He
 leaves widow and four children, three sons
 and one daughter. The sons are: Luther,
 who is now physician in Denver, Colorado;
 A. Felton, jr., who has been associated with
 his father in business for number of years, and James, the youngest, who has also been in business with his father. The daughter is Mrs. Hill, wife of the former private secre- tary to ex-Superintendent Franklin of the Air Line road

The Wire Drawers.

The New Haven Wire Mill company, Of which E. s. Wheeler is president, have sent circulars to all the men employed at the mill up to the time of the disagreement over the prices paid for labor. The circular dis cusses at much length the differences exist ing between the company and the men and concludes as follows:
 "This company believes it has always paid the highest wages for skilled workmen of any mill of it's size in the country. It believes also that the wages offered July 18th are, as a whole, higher than those in any other mill but to be sure that no injustice has been done anyone, it has revised that scale some what, and again it proposes that you try working for two weeks at the scale given be low, promising to revise the wages if trial proves them wrong. If the company does not hear from you to the contrary by noon of Monday, August 31, it will understand that this offer is rejected Of course, if this offer is rejected no ons of you will expect to work again for this company and belong also to your union; and the company, while it is sorry to lose so many good men, can there fore only hope that you will all find work elsewhere at your own prices"

The Young Couple United i'm Wed. lock at Huntington, l.. |.
 Stamford society circles have had decided furore of excitement. Miss Ella B. Pratt ofs.St. Louis, a daughter of Major Will liam Pratt, U. s. A., stationed at Wash ington, has been visiting in Stamford, for some time in the family of her rela- tives, MT. and Mrs. J. G. Smelling. Some time ago she made the acquaintance of Mr. E. Delafeld Wright, residing with his mother in Division street, quite near the Smelling mansion. Mrs. Smelling is an aunt of Miss Pratt, and Ella first met Delafeld two years ago while visiting Mrs. Smelling Ella up to within two years lived in Huntsville, Conn., Delafeld was an excellent sailor and had a pretty yacht, and it was while yachting that the young couple became desperately in love with each other. The young people seem to have made up their minds they couldn't live without each other, and determined to defeat all obstacles present and prospective to their union by clipping together. It appears that the course of true love did not run smooth, Delafeld having asked consent of the mother and been refused. Also efforts were made to wean the girl of her affection for her lover. On Tuesday evening Miss Pratt, by permission, went to take tea at Mrs Wright's Not reporting home in due time, it was found by inquiry that they had gone out sailing in MT. Wright's yacht, the lone. Their non-return that night or the next day caused, as may be imagined, great uneasiness to those of their friends not in the secret. On Wednesday news was received that they were married at Huntington, L. l.
