Rich, Yet Poor.

A woman writes to the Philadel phia Press from Long Branch ''One of the saddest sights in the world next to real poverty or dis. tress, is the sight of a man who has acquired boundless wealth and lost his happiness and his capacity tc enjoy what money secures Such cases are by no means rare. They are very common l sawa man to- day whose income is believed to be about Sl,000 week, whose whole day was spoiled because a cabman overcharged him Sl for a short ride. Of course the millionaire knew he could not possibly spend his income, but nevertheless. the idea of losing a dollar, or being de- frauded out of it, of getting nothing in rerurn for it, was almost agony to him. Many a man in making a great fortune completely loses the power of enjoying it. This is one of the worlds compensations. The happiness of a sound sleep and a good digestion is often enjoyed by a man with an empty purse, while the millionaire epicure has neither painless digestion by day nor healthy rest by night"

WAITING Fon THE VERDICT.

The Railroad Commfttee's Decision
 Hanging Flre-When Will the Re-
 port be made2
 The forthcoming report of the legislative railroad committee is ROW awaited with great interest throughout the State, but when will it be forthcoming seems to be question of daily growing interest and im- portance. It is generally conceded that the sooner this report is made the sooner the general assembly will finish it's work and conclude it's session; and that public inter ests dictate as speedy decision on the ques- tion as possible. Who is responsible for the delay is question now being agitated con- s:derably and it is rumored in Hartford that all that is necessary for the completion of the committees work is the voice of the house chairman. Be that as it may, there seems to be a growing impression that it is time for the report to be made and the report that the Consolidated road was averse to 8 speedy report is demolished by the action of the roads representatives before the com mittee urging speedy action. There is much yet for the legislature to do, but i5 can be done with celerity after the railroad work is all in

MRS. MARIA PAINTER,

Formerly of West Haven-Her Funeral
 in North Haven-A Useful Life Is
 Ended.
 The funeral of Mrs. Thalia Maria Painter,
 widow of Alexis Painter, was attended from
 the Congregational church Monday afternoon
 April 15. The services were conducted by
 Rev. Mir. Reynolds and were exceedingly sol
 emn and impressive. Mrs. Painter like a sheaf of wheat fully ripe has been gathered to her home, to her reward for long life of usefulness
 She had endeared herself to friends in this and other places and many sad hearts will
 cherish her memory and think of her kind ness and helpfulness in their times of deep ! trouble and anguish.
 Mrs Painter was born in New Milford, Ct. The later years of her life were spent in West Haven. For the last few years she has lived alternately with her children and with sis ! ter in Westfeld, Mass. Nearly year since Mrs. Painter came to visit her daughter, Mrs. Reynolds, where she soon became an invalid and for many months had not left her room. MT. Reynolds read the 103d psalm, it being one Mrs. Painter particularly loved and had expressed wish to have read at her funeral. A quartette composed of D. W. Robinson, Miss Minnie Robinson and MT. and Mrs. T. Eaton rendered 'sIt is Better Farther on" and "Asleep in Jesus" with much melody and expression. At the request of MT. Reynolds the hymn "Rock of Ages' was sung, it being great favorite with Mrs. Painter. In the closing exercises Mir. Reynolds said: "Her memory lives in the minds of her children, those assembled here, and may God grant that the hope of the mother may be the hope of the children when they obey that call she has heard and they stand before the throne of God in heaven" The bearers were the two sons of Mrs. Painter, 8 relative of the family, and R. N Barnes of North Haven.

DEATH ON THE CAMPUS.
E. c. Gobair, a Young Carpenter ol the New Recitation Building. 1
 Unata orlu KtIled by a Falling Stone

E. c. GobaiF. a Young Carpenter on
 the New Recitation Building, is
 Instantly Killed by a Falling Stone.
 A young carpenter twenty-six years of age,
 was instantly killed yesterday afternoon at
 Memorial recitation hall now being erected
 upon the Yale campus. The unfortunate
 man E. c. Gobair, 8 French Canadian, was
 employed on the work of the building and
 was just passing through the door on the
 ground floor which leads out opposite South
 college, when heavy cubic piece of stone,
 measuring nearly g foot and halt, fell from the top'of the high tower above and struck him squarely upon the head, crushing in his skull and causing almost instant death.
 The fatal event happened about o'clock. At this time men were clearing out the de- bris on the upper floor and it was one of the large stones there which fell and caused the death of Gobair He fell to the ground with ! his hat crushed down to his nose, gave gasp and was dead before horrer stricken fellow carpenter reached him. His hat was removed, 1 revealing his skull crushed and driven deep into the brain.
 A large crowd of workmen and others quickly gathered and some of the dead mans fellow workmen cerried his ifeless form across the road to Lewis and Maycocks un- derta king rooms. Gobair was about 26 years old and boarded at No. 81 George street He was employed by Norcross Broth l ers, March 25, and sometime prior to that had worked for Edward Prince. He leaves l no family and his home is in Rutland, Vt. | Just how the accident happened none seemed | to know. It is thought that it is however l due to carelessness. Two men Philip Mo- Givern and Patrick McCue were clearing the l stores from the upper floor. Superinten- ! dent Norris intended them to lower the lar- ger ones by rope, MeGivern being below ! to receive them. But it is thought that af- 1 ter the superintendent went away. McCue dropped the stones instead of lowering them | by this rope and that it is one of these that struck Gobair and caused his death
