She Left for Germany.

Among the passengers to Germany on the steamer Bismarck from New York last Thursday was Mrs. Julius Geier, late of I'll Dixwell avenue. For several years past Mrs. Geier and her husband, who up to about three weeks ago was employed in Winchester armory, have been living on the top floor of 171 Dixwell avenue. It is said by the neighbors that their life to- gether was not happy one and frequent quarrels have taken place between the pair. For some time past Geier has failed to support his wife and she in con- quence has been obliged to secure her
 livelihood by her own exertions. During this time Mrs. Geier has many times been without even the necessaries of life About three weeks ago Geier left his home and secured employment in Brooklyn. During the time it is claimed he never communicated with his wife in any manner whatever. His wife finally becoming tired of this neglect decided to sell out all her house hold effects and return to her parents in January. This plan she finally perfected, and Wednesday last sold out her furniture and went back to her fatherland on Thurs day.
 Geier, who had in some way learned of her determination to leave the city, came up to this city on Thursday, but found only the bare walls and floor to greet him. It is not known what steps Geier will take in the matter. The neighbors all speak in the highest terms of Mrs. Geier, and de- scribe her as a most industrious and | worthy woman.

OBITUARY,

Death of Mrs. Blackman, Widow of
 the Late Judge Blackman.
 Mrs. Abby Beers Blackman, widow of the late Judge Alfred Blackman, died at her home, 209 Church street, near Elm, yesterday morning, at the age of eighty four years. She was a highly estimable lady, much beloved for her amiable Chris tian character and her good deeds. Years ago she was leader in efforts in behalf of our most worthy institutions of charita- ble and benevolent nature. She was also active in Center church, of which she was an old member. She possessed unusual executive ability and was a very valuable aid in whatever good cause she was inter ested in promoting. She was a loving wife and mother. Her home before her marriage to Lawyer, later Judge, Black burn, was in Newtown, Conn. One son, Charles Blackburn of New York, survives hor

ALL FOR LOVE.

Young Burton A. JOhnsOnss Sudden
 Death-It is Said to be Due to Lauda-
 mum Taken With Suicidal Intent in
 Consequence of Being Crossed in
 Love.
 Burton A. Johnson, aged about nineteen years, died very suddenly at his residence, 20 Beers street, yesterday morning about 8 o'clock. About o'clock yesterday morn ing his sister went up to his room, as was her custom, to call him. After she had repeatedly called him aud received, as4she thought, no answer, she again called in louder voice than she had before, and in reply heard barely audible moan. She immediately called her father, and the door was forced open. It was soon ascer- tained that young Johnson was really very i'll and Dr. Robert Ives was hastily sum- moned, but owing to other engagements Dr. Townsend went in his stead. When the doctor arrived, however, young John son was too far gone for mortal aid to be of any assistance, and he died few min utes after the physician's arrival.
 Johnson's uncle said last evening that his death was due to heart failure, but from other stories which were in circula- ton and which seems to be borne out by the facts in the case, it is thought that the young man died from the effects of lauda- mum taken with suicidal intent. This theory seem all the more plausible from stories which were circulated last night to the effect that certain young lady with whom he has for some time been keeping company had thrown him over, and this fact is assigned as the cause for his despon- dency.
 Johnson was about nineteen years of age and was learning the building trade with Clark & Thompson, of which firm his uncle is a member

THE POLO WORLD.

What Was Done at the Meeting of
 the Interstate League in Meriden
 Yesterday.
 The Connecticut State Polo league met in Meriden yesterday afternoon at the Winthrop hotel, delegates from Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Meriden being present. Manager Bancroft of last years Springfield team was represented by proxy. A committee on the revision of the bylaws of the association was ap- pointed; also committees on schedule and rolls and balls.
 It was voted to have but five teams for the coming season of '91 and '92, one each in Meriden, Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven and the fifth team to be located anywhere in the state that Manager Bancroft may deem feasible.
 The season is to open on November 2, and close March 26, which will be one week shorter than last season. It was also voted to make the cages four feet in width instead of five as for merly.
 The committee on schedule will meet soon in Meriden, where it was voted to hold all the league meetings the coming season, it being the most central place and easy of access. The sentiment of the | meeting was that the coming season will open very auspiciously.

Brief Mention.

By referring to our financial column it will be seen that eight per cent will be paid for money in West Superior, Wis. Messrs. Sunderland & Ostrander, who ad- vertise for loans or investments at that rate, offer unquestionable New York ref erences.
 Richard c. Ambler, Bridgeport lawyer, aged thirty-eight, expired suddenly at his home in Nichols Saturday evening. He had been ailing for several months from nervous disorders, but was at his office last Saturday morning. The deceased gradu- ated from the Yale Law school and had followed his profession in Bridgeport for about two years. He was democrat and represented the town of Trumbull in the legislature in 1S89-90.
 Concerning the newly elected director of the Consolidated road, the Hartford Cour- ant says: J. Pierpont Morgan of NewYork, too we'll known in Hartford to need any introduction to a city that he has in SO many ways befriended, has been chosen a director in the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. He succeeds the late MT. Miller, and his election puts live, progressive business man of worldwide reputation in financial circles into the place formerly occupied by an old and feeble retired gentleman.
 The declining powers of old age may be wonderfully recuperated and sustained by ahs daily uss of Hoods sarsapazilla.

He had been working for Wiley for some time past, caring for ''nickel-in- the-slot" photographs. He drank and neg lected his duties, and on Tuesday evening Wiley hunted him up and discharged him.

BluefishfnS and Blackfishtng on
 Mansfield Grove.

Bluefishtng and BIackfishing or
 Mansfield Grove.
 Taking advantage of the fine weather of yesterday, several fishing parties drove to Mansfield Grove to try their hand at catch ing the little bluefsh, and not a few boat loads cast their lines for blackfsh. AL though the sea was little turbulent, nevertheless everybody seemed to enjoy the sport, and some fine catches were re- ported. Among those seated in one of the blackfshing boats was MT. Thomas Fitz- patrick, the genial hveryman of Orchard street, and he proved himself an expert fisherman, for while the other occupants of his boat looked on and wondered why the fish would not bite he was kept busy landing fine specimens of the fny tribe, and when nightfan came was the happy possessor of a fine string of good-sized blackfsh. He was called the mascot of the party, especially as his companions re- turned home empty-handed.

The New Drug Companv.

MT. Sawyer of Birmingham, of the Saw yer-Bissell Drug company, denies the as- sertions of George H. Kaiser, and sharply criticizes Kaiser's course and management when in charge of the drug store. He un- qualifedly sustains Mir. Ward L. Horton, the president of the new drug company, stating that MT. Horton's course has been wholly disinterested and his part in the matter that of @ loyal friend to MT. Saw yer, MT. Horton's acts in the case had proven his friendship and awakened in MT. Sawyer just feelings of gratitude. MT. Sawyer has every confidence that the new store under it's new management will be a success. AS to MT. Horton, MT. Sawyer adds, his course needs no vindication.

 The first toast was, "The United States, strong in it's conception, magnificent in it's realization, unbounded in its resources, whose well being is that of the whole world" "The Grays have presented many men of note to the state and national gov ernments. They have supplied postmas- ters of New Haven for the last thirty years. I announce to you as speaker to this toast one of those gentlemen, Post master N. D. Sperry." MT. Sperry spoke as follows:

 ''Two Old Cronies," with it's wreath of fun, is the attraction this evening.

Wills, Frank M., is the only one of the original trio in the cast of the current production, but he is ably assisted by score or more of clever associates, and with bright, sparkling music and a generous assortment of agile dancing, the entertainment provided is lively, varied and amusing. Those who figure most prominently in the stage med ley are Frank Wills, Blanche Chapman, Monte Collins, Richard Lindsay, Leon Marks, Norma Wills, Nettie Crowell and others.
