Obituary.


 Late last Friday evening Miss Lulu Woods Moore, the beloved and only child of J. Henry and Louisa A. Moore, breathed her last at the residence of her parents, No. 1O5 Wall street in this city.
 Evidences of that dreaded disease consump- tion appeared over two years ago and all that the loving and constant care of devoted parents could do was powerless in the end to prevent the almost inevitably fatal termina- tion of that disease, though doubtless mitiga- ting in large measure her sufferings and ap- parently considerably prolonging her life. The deceased possessed gentle and affec- tionate disposition that attracted and held all that came within the circle of her acquain- tance, making of them sincere and devoted friends who now keenly feel this dispensation of Providence which has cut off in the morn ing of life one so dear to them.
 Added to her sunny disposition were the Christian .graces of character. She had a firm religious faith and hope and while de- siring if iJ pleased God, to stay with and comfort her parents for long years to come, yet she could cheerfully say with her Saviour ''Not my will but thine be done"
 Through the years of illness allotted her this faith sustained and cheered her and ir the promises of the Christian religion she passed to blessed immortality, there to await joyful reunion with those nearest and best loved who are left here to mourn, but not as those without hope. The funeral ser vices will be held at her late home this Mon day afternoon at 5 o'clock and the burial will be in Evergreen cemetery at the con- venience of the family.

An Italian Organ Grinders Death.
 As two Italians, Joseph Mafllon, forty years old, who was carrying hand organ, and Frank Marie, about twenty-two years old, were walking on the Shore Line track at Stony Creek on Saturday afternoon the elder of the two was struck and run over by the Boston express and thrown into the air and down an embankment. His right leg was almost cut in two at the ankle. His com panion escaped the train by jumping out of the way. They knew the train was coming, but waited too long before attempting to get out of the way. The injured man was brought to the hospital in this city and died there ten miL utes after his arrival. Marie's violin, which he was carrying, and Maillon's hand organ were smashed by the cars.

THE EXPLOSION.

McNEanus, Who Was Injurf d At Win.
 chester's, Will Probably Recover.
 Andrew McManus of 161 Ashmun street who is employed in the priming department at the Winchester armory, wes seriously in jured shortly after 2 o'clock Saturday morn ing by the explosion of a keg of scrap primers. MeManus was emptying pile of primers which he had on wooden tray into keg partly filled with defective primers when the explosion occurred. The tray was blown to atoms and the minute pieces of metal used in making these primers flew in all directions, many of them en: or ng the body of McManus and cutting him fearfully. The thumb of his right hand was torn off, and it is feared that he will lose his eyesight, as one of the primers entered the eye. The police alnbu- lance was at once called and doctors sum- moned and the unfortunate man was re- moved to the hospital for treatment, and late last evening he was reported as doing well and that he will probably recover, all though one eye will be useless. The doctors think the other can be saved. How the ac- cident happened is mystery, as McManus, who was very careful workman, has been at the business for four years. He is twenty four years of age and was recently married.

AT HUMPHREY STREET CHURCH.
Rev. MT. Bray Breaches on Two
 Notable Pr0ceSsfOng.

Notable Pr0cessiOns.
 Humphrey street church was crowded last evening with people who came to hear the pastor, Rev. Spencer H. Bray, preach on the two processions, the Grant funeral procession and the Connecticut State parade of the Catholic T. A. B. societies. During his ser mon the Rev. MT. Bray said: General U. S.. Grant is dead and buried and it was implied by some that he should have been buried sooner and that the money spent for his fu- neral could have been better spent in some other direction. But if any think the money could have been spent in better way than giving it to the poor they are mistaken. The $40, 600 it cost 10 decorate the city of New York has already been given to the poor and more will be given them. It was worth liv- ing fifty years to look at that procession People in New York saw more that day than ever before. If the people that lined the sidewalkson either side of the streets through which the procession marched had proceeded in the streets there would have been two other processions as large as the Grant funer al procession. People of every nation on Gods earth were there that day, and they were all on their good behavior, and out of the millions I saw but two under the infu- oLC0 0OI1uICAIcdLHS Anu IdAo pAofSS that it is not as fashionable to get drunk these days as it used to be-. The procession was something to be proud of also, as we saw mingled together with soldiers from New York and Connecticut those from the southern States, who once stood face to face with them in the time of battle. It was also grand thing to see riding side by side General Sherman with General John stor, and Gen. Phil. Sheridan and General Buckner, men who during the war had been bitter enemies. In referring. to the total abstinence societies Rev. MT. Bray said the Catholics were away ahead of the Protestants in the matter, as the Catholic societies were not afraid to parade under their colors while it did appear as if the Protestant temperance societies were. The speaker hoped he should soon see the day when all the temperance societies in this city would unite in one grand procession.

Eaects of lhe Neather.

The recent frequent succession of showers has frightened up the face of nature and given the green grass and foliage brilliant verdure. The sudden change from hot to un- seasonably cool weather of about a week ago brought on not few cases of sickness, and the physicians have had considerable extra work. The cold weather has kept tha tobacco raisers on the anxious seat. Also the cold weather has caused dull times at the shore restaurants and at the hotels, but & warm September month is hoped for, which will give new impetus to the business

THE QUINNIPIAo BRIDGE

To Re Visited This Morning By l The Full Board of Selectmen. This morning at 9 o'clock the full Board
 of Selectmen will meet at Quinnipiac bridge 1 to decide what is best to be done with the sub-structure which has, as is well known, l for some time past been in 8 condition that has aroused the fears of the authorities as to | it's safety. For several weeks at every meet 1 ing of the Board of Selectmen the subject has been under discussion and in the inter vening time the bridge has been frequently visited by the Committee on Roads and l Bridges of that Board and the Board of Public Works. These committees some time ago agreed that something must be | done to insure the safety of the bridge or | that it would have to be closed to pubic travel.
 The conclusion has been reached that the materials used in the construction of the bridge were not what they should have been, especially in the case of the cement. It is claimed that if this had been of good material, that the stones would never have become loosened as they now are and keep tumbling into the river. The work was done under the super intendence of competent bridge engineer, Mir. Clarence Herschel of Boston, who was
 well paid for his service3, and it seems hardly
 possible that he would connive, even for
 consideration, with the builders in allowing
 any poor material to be used in the construc-
 tion of so important a work His reputation
 as engineer was at stake in seeing that the
 contract was faithfully carried out in every
 particular Then again the commission in
 charge of the construction were capable and
 honorable gentlemen, whom one for a
 moment would doubt gave the work their
 close attention. The commission was com
 posed as follows:
 City of New Haven-Mayor Henry G. Lewis. Hon. Luzon B. Morris and Professor
 William P. -Trowbridga, and on the part of the town of East Haven Rev. Edwin E. E.
 Hall, Edward A. Mitchell and Edwin Gran hiss.
 The facts are that nobody knows just where to lay the blame. That the bridge has got to be thoroughly repaired there is no doubt, and the city and town of New Haven will have to bear the expense, whatever it may be. Tomorrow night in the Board of Selectmen the whole matter will be thorough ly discussed and it is likely that some defu- ite conclusion will be reached as to what will have to be done.
