DEATH OF VIM. H. RANKIN.
Proprietor of the "GOIIege Drug Store'' His Dead Body Discovered fin His

Proprietor of the ssC0IIege Drug Stores,
 His Dead Body Discovered fin His
 Room Last Night.
 The dead body of Wm. F. Rankin, the druggist whose place of business was on Chapel street opposite Yale university, was found in his room about half-past nine last evening. He was last seen at half-past one and as his absence was unaccountable 8 search was made for him. As the door to his room was found locked ladder was pro- cured from the Hyperion and an entrance through the window to his room near the store was effected. The body was on the floor with the left hand firmly hold of the bed. Dr. M. 0. White was summoned and had the body removed to Lewis & Maycoek's. Dr. White stated that death was probably caused by apoplexy. He had recently com plained of some trouble in his head and pain in his right side.
 The deceased was thirty-two years of age and leaves father, S.H. Rankin of Seymour. Mr. Rankin was very popular with large circle of friends, many of whom were stu- dents. College men were as much at home in his store as in their own rooms and he was generally favorite with all.
 The unexpected news of his death and the position in which he was found gave rise to many rumors among his friends and acquain- tances and theories of suicide and the like were freely indulged in. He had great inter. est in sporting matters, and his store was al- most as much the college headquarters for sporting men as any other place. Six or eight years ago he succeeded MT. Beers in the drug business and since has been consid- cred as very prosperous.

 Doctors Present.
 BRIDGEPORT, Feb. 26-Yesterday fore
 noon an important operation was performed
 upon Mrs. Ida Brinsmade, of West Strat-
 ford, at the City hospital by Dr. Robert
 Lauder, assisted by Drs. Porter, Wordin, Bill
 and Godfrey. The operation was very rare and unusual one and required the utmost skill and delicacy. It consisted of cutting through into the kidney to remove an abcess which had formed on the inside of that or gan There were seventeen doctors and six nurses present, who watched the movements of the operators with intense interest. The lady is a regular patient of Dr. Lauder and enjoys the distinction of being private pa tient at the hospital. She is thirty-two
 years of age and nas been ill with the trou-
 ble mentioned for the last five months, and
 has been sick with ailments leading to it for year and half. The abcess was probably caused by calculus in the kidney.
 In the process of the operation the diag-
 nosis of the physicians was found to be en- tirely correct The operators cut alongside the backbone, below the lower rib, clear down to the kidney, to depth of three and one-half inches. The utmost nicety was re- quired in order to strike the kidney, as half an inch variation would have done incalcula-
 ble damage The abscess was found, and over pint of pus was removed after the in- cision had been made. The patient bore up through it all in an heroic manner. To-day she is doing as we'll as could be expected, and there is every prospect that a second operation may be necessary before perfect health can be gained. In the meantime the
 patient will remain at the hospital for sever- al weeks till thoroughly convalescent.

THE wHATELEx CASE.

The investigation Temporarily Sus-
 Pended-The Stones of she Altercatur
 and the Blows.
 Coroner Mix did nothing in the Whateley case yesterday as he was suddenly called to the Naugatuck murder case. Medical Exam finer White has concluded his autopsy on the was caused by pleuro-pneumonia, induced by injuries inflicted on the chest Coroner Mix will continue his investigation to-day.
 It is stated that Kerrigan had great provo- cation when he whipped Whateley, having abused him by calling him opprobrious names and made grave charges against Kerr rigan's parentage. In the saloon with Whateley were John Delaney, his brother-in- law, and James Delaney. The Delaneys had come from New York te attend the funeral of the brother -in-law, Patrick Delany, that day.
 Those who heard the testimony as given to the coroner, say that Kerrigan being pro. voked by Whateley, came out from behind the bar and hit him in the face. Mrs. Whateley soon appeared and took her hus- band home. She returned and said that her husband was looking for his revolver to shoot Kerrigan. In the saloon were George Lewis and Frank Fairbanks, who saw the trouble. They soon left.
 Kerrigan went across the street to have two men, whom he supposed were officers, arrest Whsteley. They were Fairbanks and Lewis. Lewis and Fairbanks left Kerrigan standing on the corner. At $50 Kerrigan went to the depot with the Delaneys to take their train for home.
 The police are trying to find out where Kerrigan was after he was left on the corner. They think Kerrigan and Whateley met and settled their dispute. John and James De- laney remain to be examined. They will be able to explain the whereabouts of Kerrigan after he left Lewis and Fairbanks on the cor ner of Cedar and Putnam streets.

FAIR HAVEN.
AN OYSTER SUPPER.

The Helpers will hold an old fashioned oyster supper ill the parlors of the First Congregational church, Grand avenue, this evening from to 8. A fine entertainment has been provided and no doubt it will be pleasant affair. There will be no admission charged.
 The case of the alleged non-support of wife and children brought by Mrs. Allen against her husband, who had harness store in Fair Haven East and who sold the stock in it to MT. Moody, who keeps a livery stable in New Haven, was nolled, there being no fur- ther object in prosecuting the suit which Mrs. Allen had instituted in the hope of re- covering some of the property which she ayers was worth 5000 and was sold for $50 by her husband when he had been drinking too much fire water. Mir. Allen indignantly de- nies the imputation that Mrs. Allen and he had had any domestic trouble or differences other than caused by his occasional over in- dulgence in dram drinking, and stated last night that so far from his wife's having been to numerous parties and balls without him that she had been to but one the past winter, and then he was her escort, and that the stories that his wife preferred other society than his were malicious falsehoods instituted by evil minded people or by scandal mongers.

A QUIET SET BACK.

The Board of Selectmen Say That
 Janitor BOhan's Room Can He Used
 For a Police Matron If n Suita-
 ble Room Is Provided For the Col
 onel.
 The selectmen voted last night to give the police board the jsnitor's room in the City Hall for the use of police mstron, provided the city surrenders to the town & suitable room for the janitor's use from a portion of the building now occupied by the city.
 This is quiet set back for the police com missioners, as it will probably be impossible for them to get another room in the City building. The assessors are looking for more room also.
 A committee from the board of assessors appeared and asked that the bill now before the legislature relating to change from No vember to October 1 as the limit for the receiving of the tax list be opposed, as many people out of the city in the summer must return homo sooner than they would desire if this bill should become 8 law. The board instructed the assessors to send committee to the legislature to oppose it. The Bridge port assessors are in favor'of it, thinking lit is an important change.
 Selectmen Todd, Beecher and Klencke were appointed 8 committee to go to Hart- ford and oppose the bill which provides that a child cannot be kept at an almshouse day after it is two years old. At present the law gives thirty days notice over the two years.

Professor Bertrand Talks to the mcAIl
 Mission AuxiIiarg-Work Done and
 to be Done.
 The annual meeting of the New Haven auxiliary of the McAll mission was held in Center church chapel yesterday afternoon. The principal business was the address of Professor Bertrand, late of Paris, and there intimately connected with the work of the facts relating to the work done and to be done in France. He began by expressing 8 strong desire that the women of America would stand by the new Christianity that is dswning upon France. The work of God among great people, said he, possesses large interest to everybody. Americans are drawn to France by many ties and essocia- tions. The French name recalls men great in literature, science, war and religion. The great revival of Christianity abroad has en- tered the French dominion and the work of the McAll missions harnonizes with the gen. eral spirit of the time. The cry that first attracted the attention of MT. McAu is now soundiDg-"Give us true religion"
 From the reign of Louis XIV till the pres ent it was not known that when the gospel of love was banished that of discord and war was enthroned. The introduction of protestant ism is attended by many obstacles. Policemen were stationed in churches that nothing might be said against the government MT. McAll's idea was to moralize the people by help of the gospel. and then to bring them to the foot of the cross. Marriage, baptism, burial did not concern the work. He knew that when the people knew what the gospel was they would become Huguenots agaiE. His churcheshave now increased from one to 186, which showed that God is blessing the work.
 The people don't understand the difference between the church of God and the church of the pope. Salvation for them means the buying of a pew in heaven and the Bible is thought to be dangerous book. Many wo- men are afraid to be seen at church and the church-going man is considered to be little minded. In all of France there were not 100 protestant churches under Napoleon and now there are 750. After Prof. Bertrand had finished, he asked the ladies to question him upon the work of the missions.
 The secretary of the auxiliary read the annual report, which was very lengthy. The same officers as served last year were re- elected.
