A CHASTITY DISCOVERY.

The Dead Body of a Man Identified
as James Brennan Found at the
Bottom of an Elevator i'm the Regis
ter BuildIng-The Investigation.
At about half-past two o'clock yesterday
afternoon John E. Kelley, boy employed
in the press room of the Stafford Printing
company, found tie body of man lying in
the foot of the elevator in the portion of the
Register building occupied by the Stafford
Printing company. The body was lying
with the head against the wall with the
mouth and nose covered with blood. The
elevator was spattered with blood. Medical
Examiner White was sent for and when he
came the body was lifted out. The clothing
was neat and of good material. An open
faced silver watch, two pass books and some
change were found in the pockets. In the
watch pocket of the pants was roll of bills
amounting to twenty-five dollars. "James
J. Brennan, 312 Grand street, city," was
written on the fyleaf of one of the books
which contained an account with Jeffcott
& Bradley, the Broadway painters. 1t was
found on inquiry at the store of this firm
that man answering to the description given
of the dead man was paper hanger and
painter who often transacted business with
the house. His wife had been in the store
looking for him yesterday morning. He
lived in the block on the corner of Blatchley
avenue and Grand street. The body was
identified by the bookkeeper of Jeffcott &
Bradley as Brennan. He was thirty-three
years old and leaves wife and two children.
He left home ON Tuesday morning and was
in Fords saloon on East street when last
heard of. His death was probably caused
by falling through the elevator from one Of
the Stafford printing rooms. DR.. White
thought that the man had been dead for two
or three days. The watch was found stop
ped at II O'Clock: He probably made mis-
step in the night or early morning. The
body was not found before on account of the
darkness. Brennan had been member O
the Sarsfeld Guard for about a year. Tht
company will meet this evening to take &C
ton.
The remains of Brennan were removed
from the morgue last evening to his late re
sidence in Fair Haven.

E. S. Wheeler appeared before the county
commissioners yesterday morning in the
hearing on the application of Patrick Wha-
len for license to sell liquor at the place of
Mrs. William A. Smith in the Annex and
said that he had thrown up an important en-
gagement in Hartford in order to be present
at the hearing. G. G. Blatchley, Captain
Armstrong, Captain Wright and others from
the Annex were present also. Lawyer
Thompson, of East Haven, and his client,
Patrick Whalen, were not ready to go on and
asked for continuance, which was not
granted. The saloon in question stands near
the head of Farren avenue and has been kept
by William A Smith, now deceased His
wife was refused license few weeks ago on
the objections of property owners in the vi
cinity and now Whalen comes forward with
an application for the same purpose.
Mr. Wheeler stated that his objections
were that the place afforded night employees
in the wire MILL of which he is president, an
opportunity to get liquor during the night,
very much to their detriment. The saloon
probably cost them SO, 500 year.
The commissioners reserved their decision.

On the Eve of His Proposed Wedding

On the Eve of His Proposed Wedding
Day.
Gordon W. Durham, of New York, died
on the eve of what was to have been his we'd
ding day He lacked twenty-eight hours of
being eighty-two years old He was con-
scious to the end, and the last act of his life
was to give parting blessing to his two
sons. He placed his hands upon their heads
as he spoke these last words, and then fell
back and died peacefully and apparently
without pain. He was surrounded by his
sons, Mrs. Douglass Burnham, four grand
children, Mrs Chapman, sister-ip-law, and
Miss Kate Sanborn, his iancee, who had re-
manned at his bedside steadfastly during his
sickness DR.. White was also present.
The death of Mr.. Burnham, like his life, is
tingsd with romance, he contracted the
cold which resulted in the fatal attack of
pneumonia while waiting at the Liberty
street ferry to meet the woman whom he in
tended to make his third wife. Mr.. Burn
ham had met Miss Kate Sanborn, the author
and lecturer, several years ago. He was in
troduced to her by his second wife, of whom
Miss Sanborn was an intimate friend. Mr..
Burnham was captivated by her literary abil-
ity and after his introduction to her she was
always welcome guest in his Fifth avenue
mansion. When his second wife died, some
eighteen months ago, Mr.. Burnham looked
to Miss Sanborn a counselor, and many
hours in his cherries house said
to have been made happy by the
conversation of the authoress. The we'd
ding ceremony was to have been solem-
nized yesterday by Assistant Bishop Potter
at the Burnham mansion in the presence of
the immediate relatives of the groom and
bride and TWO or three very intimate personal
friends of the former, among them Judge
Enoch L. Fancher and Mr.. Edwards Pierre
pont Ali the ante nuptial arrangements
had been made, but instead of bright lights.

gloom and sorrow. A coffin will be substi
tuted for the radiant altar and mourning
robes for wedding costumes. Il is under
stood that by the codicil made to his will
on Friday night, with the approval of his
sons, provision of $150,O00 was made for
Miss Sanborn.
Mr.. Burnham was president of the Water

Interesting Letter from a Savin Rock
Caterer.
mysterious looking box was received
by one of the editorial attaches of the CoUR-
Ter Office yesterday by mail from st. Angus
tine, Fla, which at first sight suggested dy-
Mantle, Internal machines and the like. Hav-
ing clear conscience and being at peace
with all mankind, however, he concluded to
explore the hidden mysteries of the aforesaid
box and with some degree of caution pried
open the lid. AS he did so perfume of
most exquisite fragrance greeted his olfactory
nerves. A further examination revealed
several branches from the Florida orange
tree covered with deep green leaves and beau
tiful buds and blossoms. A snow storm was
prevailing at the time, which made him wish
that he was "Away down South in the
land of cotton" sitting under the shade of
the trees from which the buds and blossoms
were plucked enjoying fragrant Havana
and the fragrant orange blossoms at one and
the same time. In the same mail that brought
the box came letter from the same "Sunny
South" written by o. Hewes, 60 well known
in this city and other parts of the State as
the popular proprietor of the Railroad res
taurant and skating rink at Savin Rock.
Without that gentlemans knowledge or
consent we make few extracts from his let
ter which will be read with interest by his
many friends. Mr.. Howes says: ssThe days
and weeks have flown rapidly away and the
near future will see me with you once again.
Our winter has been an unpleasant one to
those who in years gone by have enjoyed the
boau of
tremely cold, but very wet and d1sagreeable.
Last night thunder shower rolled over us
and made itself felt in most grand and ter
rife manner. Our city is filled with tour
| lists, every house being taxed to its utmost
| capacity. We have accommodations for
nearly a thousand more people than last year
and still there is demand for more room.
1 Personally am all right. Three times day
| my mind is diverted from business by the
| arduous task of chewing Florida beef. When
| a person has this to attend to his mental
| and bodily strength is compromised. Then
| again friendly mosquito will entertain You,
/ sing his sweetest songs and whisper his low
| ing messages in your ear. Just now another
| force, still finer and more beautiful one,
i enlists your attention at times. The sweet
| incense from the delicate orange blossoms
| tells you of power strange and omnipotent.
| Then, again. the finely formed sand fly will
| assert his friendship, and all these things, in
| this country, invest us with a variety and q
| philosophy by which the ills we have are
| made brighter by the beauties that surround
