 The funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. E. A. Mitchell took place yes- terdsy afternoon. After brief service at the late home of the deceased, at which only the family and immediate relatives were present, the body was conveyed to St. Paul's church, where the public ceremonies took place.

A beautiful wreath of ivy and lilies of the valley, one of pansies and a number of palm branches rest ed on the casket, which was covered with a black cloth.

QUICK WORK.

s3,OOO Raised Nm Five Minutes.
 The Church of the Redeemer raised $2, 900 in five minutes on Sunday morning for their mission which has been carried on in Mead- ow street, but which is to be transferred to Oak street. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Todd, preached sermon, after which there was a business meeting and calls were made for contributions in shares of $25 each. MT. H. J. Prudden took 10 shares, President w. W. Converse of the Winchester Arms company took 10, President Hiram Camp of the New Haven Clock company took 6, Rev. pr. Todd took 2. Deacon Hale, the carriage man ufacturer, 4, and so on with great rapidity, so rapidly that the reporters pencil broke down. At the mission preaching, meetings and Sunday school meetings will be held. The missions new location is in the roomy and pleasant store in the Newman corset fac tory.
 Acknowledgement 50 Yale Seminary.
 The superintendent of city missions, Rev. W. D. Mosman. makes hearty acknowledge ment to the members of Yale seminary for their efficient service during the seminary year now closing. Forty-four members of the different classes have assisted in one or more of the following departments of mis- sion work, viz: At the hospital, where their kindly calls have been a continual comfort to the sick; in district visiting from house to house to find families without Christian care: in taking under their own Christian care these and other families already found; and in their helpful presence at the meetings held at the different mission stations
 MT. Eugene c. Webster has been of great assistance in organizing larger work among the students of both the seminary and aca- demica1 departments of the university than ever before, resulting in the opening of a third mission hall in part of the city where it was greatly needed. MT. George c. Weiss and MT. D. E. Burtner have given special attention to the singing at the Sabbath ser vices at the central rooms. MT. Morrison Weimer has had the charge of one of the mission halls during part of the year, and has been engaged for special work in the city missions during the summer. Messrs conducted meetings regularly week by week during almost the entire year. Mr. Robert L. Marsh for time had charge of meetings at the central rooms every evening of the week. Messrs. Daniels and Mccartney have done difficult work in exploring parts of the city previously unknown.
 As one result of the efforts of all the city missions have been obliged to secure more room for their increasing work, and those who return to their studies at New Haven 1 after their summer vacation will doubtless ! help to fill this larger field they have helped 1 to open.

The Three Thousand Dollars ApproPrI asea Tor Founders' Day Not All spent,
 Captain Charles H. Townshend and Max Adler, the auditing committee appointed by the general committee on Founders day, met at City Hall shortly before five o'clock yester- day afternoon to examine the report of the treasurer, Eli Whitney, jr. It was found that the general committee had been economical and had made good showing. Of the $3, 900 appropriated $7S7.13 was left. The treasurer made provision for the book which will con- tain au account of the doings of Founders day, although the money for it has not yet been paid to the committee on publication. The general committee will hold a meeting to morrow night, and it may be that more than the $500 will be appropriated for its publication so that the Lancasterian school can have more detailed account in it. The auditing committee found the treasurer's re- port correct. It is ss follows:
