 Iteing of IntereRt.

ASeAnD OI AAtereBts
 The two nights entertainment that the young ladies of the Second Congregational church have been giving at the Quinnipiac rink closed last night. The Christian Ed deayor society assisted in giving the enter tainment, and the result was perfect suc- cess. The rink was crowded both nights and the receipts were much larger than had been anticipated they would be. Some. thing like $200 was realized. Last night the colored jubilee singers sang and the panto- mime Bachelors Quarters" was played, with music by the church orchestra. Among those who have taken part in the entertain rDent are: Miss Hattie Bradley, Miss Minnie Doolittle, Miss Ada Linslev, Miss Addie Strong, Miss c. D. Parmelee, Miss Jennie Mallory, Miss Emma Smith, Edna Augur, Ernest 0. Rowe, John Farren, Ernest Thompson and Henry Ellenberger.
 The celebrated Hotchkin family appeared at the East Pearl street Methodist church last night for the second time this season. There was a large audience in attendance and all present voted the concert even better than the previous one. The bell ringing part of the entertainment was exceptionally well rendered and the solos were listened to with much pleasure. The receipts were quite sat- isfactory.

TO GO BEFORE THE SURGEON.

Some ApPrehenSfOn In she Breasts Of
 Brave Fire Laddfes-The New Regu-
 latfOn Said to be Intended 50 Cause
 No Alarm.
 It is stated that considerable apprehension exists in the minds of those fremen who have served in the department long time regarding the new rule relating to the order that may be issued to them to appear before the examining physicians.
 The men who have received appointments jected to rigid examination by Dr. c. P. Lindsley, and, as understood, similar ex- animation may be ordered at any time for any member of any of the various depart ments of the service. Some of the fremen have expressed fears regarding possible un- just application of the order, which is evil dently intended to be beneficial to the de- partment, but which might of course be otherwise if some of the experienced men should not pass a satisfactory or frst-class ex- animation. It is claimed that some of the men who are expert fremen, having been years in the service and doing efficient duty, might not pass the examination as reuuired Again 1t IS said that some of the men who have filled and are now occupying responsible positions ID the department may have some slight physical ailment which does not interfere with the performance of every duty required of them, but it should not be charged against them as if any such ail- ments exist they may have been caused by arduous duties at previous fires. An in- quiry regarding the matter from official sources elicited the explanation that the new rule is intended simply to secure efficient ser- vice in the department and detect any pos sible shirking that may exist, and is not in- tended to be used in any sense as weapon of injustice against tried and true men of the department. It is further said that no man who is able to perform the duties of his position is ito be fred" or is in the slightest danger of it.. Further it is stated that every encouragement is due those who have worked for years in the departments service and may have some slight ailment like most other mortals, or physical trouble which, however, does not interfere with their rendering the city of New Haven full equivalent for the money paid. It was hinted, however, that the ex- amining surgeon may have 8 terror in the cases of men, whose number must be few in the New Haven fire department, who may be addicted to "sojeriDg" and playing invalid. In such cases physical examination would soon determine whether there was spurring up needed.

DEATH OF ELISHA BLACKmAN.
He Expires Suddenly i'm a House on
 York Street YeaferdaH


 MT. Elisha Blackman died yesterday after noon suddenly. He was in the seventy y-sixth year of his age. MT. BlAckmsn resided at 176 York street, and was taken i'll at II a. m. while across the street from his house, in a house which he was having overhauled prior to rental to a new party. A colored woman who was working near by heard him fall and assistance was obtained and he was removed to the house and medical aid sum- moned. All was without avail. He expired in short time. The attack was of an apo plectic nature. MT. Blackman was a very estimable citizen, upright in all his dealings and respected by the public. He was for many years prominent carriage manufac- turer of this city, his shop being for many years on Park street, where later in more re- cent years Newman's corset business was carried on. The firm was for years Black man & Randall. MT. Randall died years ago. After retiring from business on his own account MT. Blackman was identified with the office affairs of the w. H. Bradley carriage manufactory on lower Chapel street, and for the last few years he had conducted a real estate business having an office at the corner of Chapel and York streets, and the care of various pieces of valuable property. Mir. Blackman was possessed of large ac- Quaintance, having resided here for so many years. His death will be regretted by many friends. The funeral occurs Saturday after- noon at 4 o'clock.

Norton, proposes to turn it over to him as soon as possible, but his counsel says that there will be no sortie or raid on the place with the intention of capturing it by force of arms.
 It is probable, however, that legal means will be taken to gain possession of the store The fight over the possession of the store is notable one, and both MT. Norton and the Barnaby people are sanguine of success.

A Child Dies From the EGects ofa Dose
 of Medicine.
 Medical Examiner White finds that little Marie Dervere, year old, came to her death by having administered to her dose of med icine prescribed by an itinerant Italian doc tor named AnsanelIi. The child's parents live at 39 Fair street. Monday this doctor, who has no license to practice here, was called in as the family belongs to the same race, and he gave prescription which con- sisted of two or three grains of potassium and one-sixteenth to one-twelfth of a grain of opium in teaspoonful of water. Fifteen minutes after the child took the second dose she was dead. Dr. White does not find any criminal negligence on the part of the par ents, but City Attorney Daley would have Ansaueli arrested, if he knew where he was, for practicing medicine without license, and might prosecute him for malpractice. The medical examiner in his report says that had the medicine been diluted it would not have caused the child's death
