A BRAVE MAN DEAD.
A West Pointer Distinguished
 

A West Pointer Distinguished In
 Three Wars.
 LITcHFIELD, Jan. 14.-A telegram received here Sunday morning by Mrs. Harriet Kill bourn announced the death of her brother in-law, General Henry w. Vessels at Dover, Del, for which place he left Litchfeld last Monday. The general had been in poor health for month or two past, but had been feeling somewhat better for the last few days, as g letter received Saturday stated !, and his death must have been very sudden. General Vessels was born in Lirchfeld in 1909. He was graduated from West Point in 1883, took part in the Creek war in Georgia in 1885, then holding the rank of second lieutenant, and also served in the Seminole war in Florida in 18S743, and made a first lieutenant in 1888 and captain in 1S47. He was wounded at Contreras in the Mexican war and was brevetted major for gallantry in that engagement and at Cherubusco. After the close of that war he went with his regi- ment to California. In 1861 he raised a reg iment of Kansas volunteers and served as a brigadier general during the war of the re- bellion. He has resided here for a number of years, although he has spent considera- ble portion of his time in travelling and vis- iting places of interest in different parts of the country. He was man of peculiarly kind and amiable disposition and was great ly loved and respected. He leaves a widow and three sons, one of whom, Frank Wes- sells, is lawyer at Omaha, Neb., and the other two are officers in the United States army. Colonel L. W. Wessell is & brother of the general

 Other Notes.
 The game at the riak last night was an interesting one, although the home team took the lead at the start and held it through out with the exception of about two min utes when the score was tied. It resulted to in favor of the New Ravens.
 Pierce and Parsons drove poorly for goal and even Pierce could not get past New Ha- ven's defence.
 One thing particularly noticeable about the home team was Newcomb's playing. He is making some terrific drives, and is soaring the opposing players the same as Cotter does. Once last night Smith ducked his head and turned his back to one of his drives.
 Connors worked hard, but he showed that he is weak. His leg bothers him some, and it would do him good to lay him of day or two. Hill and Phelan did better blocking than Williams andConway. Reed was applaud ed many times, he making some very di ffcult stops. Smith, as usual, put up marvellous game.
 The Bridgeport's defence, instead of trying to block cleanly, buck against and interfere with the players. Conway and Williams are the two men in the league particularly ad- dicted to rough and non-scientifc work. The advantage of having three rushers and not two and center was shown last night by the home team.
 Newcomb scored the first goal on a drive from the side, before Smith had made a stop. The second was short and as pretty as one would want to see Hill passed the ball up the rink to Connors and he passed it to Neweomb, who got by Conway and made a lightning shot from the side. The third was won by the visitors by luck, and not by good playing Reed made stop, which sent the ball high in the air. Parsons is so tall that he likes 8 high ball and he hit it in the air as it came down and the ball dropped into the cage. Connors also played base ball in the fourth goal. He made drive for goal which Smith stopped, and as it bounded back he caught it within six inches of the floor and banged in past Smith. It was 8 pretty play. In the fifth Pierce passed to Parsons at the side, and no one was oov- eriDg him it was an easy matter for him to goal by fooling in front of the cage.
 This tied the score.
 The seventh brought great applause to Newcomb. He took the ball away from Pierce and neatly juggled it past Conway and scored. After two minutes playing the electric lights went out, but soon after they started up. Immediately Neweomb caged the referees foot. Then the lights went out again and everything was darkness for twen- ty minutes. It was due to the underground wire giving out. The score:

The Thirty.S1xth Annual ReunIon-An Interesting MeetIng-RemIn1scen of old Fire Department Bays Inter- spersed With speeches and Songs.
 This we'll known organization met at Dei- bel's last evening 10 celebrste it's thirty sixth anniVersary. Less than score of original members were present, but as they separated soon after II o'clock they voted it to be one of the best of the long series of annual meet- ings. The "roster of L. s. o" printed on the
 age of the programme shows that of
 al membership of 192 -on old Cro-
 l onethird have died, a score or up- ward are yet residents of New Haven and vie cinity and the remainder are scattered thou sands of miles all over the country, from Manitoba on the north to Florida and Cali fornia on the south and West. Three menn- bers have died during the past year-Colonel Colburn of the Twelfth Connecticut Volun- teers, Orderly Sergeant E. A. Smith of the Tenth 0. v. and ex Foreman B. A. Wooster. Comrade George Coe of the Twelfth regiment spoke to the memory of Col. Colburn, Com- rade Jepson attended in fitting terms to the decease of Sergeant Smith, and Comrade Lovejoy revived tender mem- ories of deceased, ex-Foreman Wooster. A touching ceremonial of the brotherhood is the heading Of the roll Ot necrO1Ogy, during which time the brethren stand and at the close pledge the memory of their deceased brethren in glasses of water. The 'spartipg handshake" is also an institution peculiar to the brotherhood. The members form a cir cle, each in turn passing around until every brother has shaken the hand of every other. An interesting number of the programme last evening was the report of Colonel B. s. Pardee, chairman of the ''traveling comnit- tee" now at Indianapolis The writer nar- rates with much cleverness an interview with President elect Harrison, in which he pre- scented the claims of L. s. o. and assures the brethren that ex-Govs Bigelow, Harrison, Judge Pickett, Assessor Bald win, Prof. .Jepson, Marshal Lovejoy and other prominent mepo- bers of the fraternity, that they are to be Ie- membered in the distribution of offices As sessoI c. A. Baldwin succeedd ex Governor Bigelow as president of L. s. O. for the en- suing year. Prof. Jepson was reelected see- retary for the thirty-ffth time. The original secretary, Rev. James Cruickshanky, a grad nate of Yale, now of New Jersey, was suc- ceeded by Nelson Stone, now of Chicago, who filled out the first year, since which time Prof. Jepson has filled the position. George R. Bill was elected treasurer, and F. M. Love joy as marshal Speeches were made by each of the members present, and many let ters were read from absent brethren from different parts of the United States. The spread was magnificent and Mine Host DiebeI received the thanks of the fraternity.

A CHARMING BEATRICE.

Mlle. Rhea Tells a Reporter Why She Keeps an American Company-A Fine Compliment to This Country The Famous French ArtIste as She Appeared Last Night.
 Fresh from the wedding with Benedick and still flushed with the echoes of simulta- neous applause which greeted her matchless consummation of the chRste character of the charming Beatrice in Shakesreare's 'tMuch Ado About Nothing" Mile. Rhea left the stage last night with the consciousness of having delighted her large audience as none but the naive, earnest, captivating French artiste can delight throng of theatergoers.
 "Ah, mon ami," she exclaimed with pleased look as she met the reporter, 'I am delighted to meet you" She spoke with pretty French accent, peculiarly striking and delicate. She was attired in an elaborate wedding toilette of white satin, embroidered and decorated in the old rich, beautiful man. ner of Messina.
 "Yes," she said, 'I am glad to see you. An, but what mock it is after all, isn't it? Here am in the robe of an Italian lady of state, and just look at this barren rooml picture, initiate, create, but do not live our selves, at least as the public see us."
 Finding the vivacious actress in philo- sophical mood, remarked that her company seemed composed entirely of Americans.
 'Yes," said sine. "My company has, and will alwas be, an American company. My reasons are: First, because I think, as a foreigner, it is my duty to pay this compli- ment to the country where I come to make money; second, because I like the Ameri- cans; and third, because I am convinced that nowhere could I find more clever or more talented actors than in the United States"
 "Oh," Mile. Rhea, ''your reasons are un answerable, and the compliment you pay should be fondly cherished by every friend of the American stage. Do you like our New Haven sudiences7'
 1T have always been most cordially re- ceived here and am always happy upon leaving the stage to think that I have been apparently so enjoyable to my audience," and the charming artiste pleasantly bid the reporter pretty adieu as he left her to the dishabillement of her toilet.
