ABBREVIATED

In the Frankfort HOuse-George
 Moran, a Hartford Man, is Almost
 Sufocated-Retween Life and Death
 at the Hospital.
 Saturday night about il o'clock man registering as George Moran, New Haven, called at the Frankfort House, on Greene street. He was given room 1 and immed1- ately went to bed. At 12 o'clock the gas was shut off and he was given candle. At o'clock yesterday morning, the pro- prietor says, the man was called by the chambermaid. He answered her, but did not get up. About half an hour later she called him again, as she wanted to make the beds He answered again, but did not get up. The proprietor went up shortly before noon and tried to open the door. As he could not make the man hear him he broke it in. The man was lying on the bed unconscious. The proprietor tried the gas jet and says it was locked. Dr. Cremin was called and he had the man removed to another and more commodious and hygienic room. This had been aired when Dr. Cremin ar rived, but he says he detected the odor of gas as he entered the place. Dr. Cremin worked over the man for awhile and called Medical Examiner White, who decided to have the man taken to the hospital. The ambulance was summoned. A pint bottle of whisky was found with just little taken from it. This was sent to the hos pital to be analysed. The man lay be- tween life and death last night and was unconscious up to late hour last night. He exhibited all the symptoms of asphyxiation.
 All that is known of the young man was gleaned from 8 bartender named Michael Malone, who is employed at Dixon's sa- loon, 224 Wallace street.
 Malone says the man came into his saloon Saturday night and they had some liquor together. The man said he came here from Hartford in search of work. Malone hap pened to know contractors who wanted laborers and told the stranger to come around the morning after and he would see if job could be found. The man promised to come but did not give his name.
 The Frankfort house is better known as the Franklin house. It is situated on the corner of Greene and Franklin streets. It's proprietor is Adam Roell. The house, be- fore he came into possession of it, had an unsavory reputation This taint has been removed since MT. Roell came into posses sion of it. The affair was reported at station 3 by Sergeant McGrath and Officer Rhodes.
 The house is the same one in which the man Brown and woman were asphyxiated few years ago. Moran looked to be a young man, seemingly not more than thirty years old.

Of the Wedding of George Bartlett of
 Guilford-Celebrated Saturday Even-
 ing.
 George Bartlett, aged 93, and his wife, aged 90, celebrated on Saturday evening the seventieth anniversary of their mar riage. at the residence of their son, Hor- ace E. Bartlettt, 249 Franklin street, in this city. The aged couple, who are resi- dents of Guilford, are still in enjoyable health and strength, which warrants the belief that several years will yet be added to their already long lives.
 MT. Bartlett is still engaged in his cus- tomary farm work, which he has followed for nearly century. For fifty nine years he was a member of the choir of the Con- gregational church in Guilford. Of their ten children five are now living Nine grandchildren and three great-grand- children are living.
 Very many congratulations were received by the couple on the happy anniversary on Saturday evening"

They Go Back To China.

The two oldest pupils of the Chinese Sunday school of the Pearl street Congre- gational church, Hartford, are now on their way to San Francisco, from which city they sail next week for their native country. The two Chinamen are cousins, Wong Sic Kie and Wong Hong, and have lived in Hartford longer than any two of their race now there They settled there in 1877. By characteristic industry, they have accumulated what is in China large fortune, Sic Kie having taken back with him about $2, TOO and Hong about $2,200. They will thus be in very comfortable cir cumstances in the Flowery Kingdom. Both men paid personal farewell visit to their teachers, for, by the terms of the the Chinese exclusion act, neither can ever return to America.

TRINITY CHURCH ORGAN

Rebuilt With Modern Improvements
 and Reopened Yesterday-GOming
 Organ Recitals.
 The organ at Trinity church was re- opened yesterday after being silent for three months. The entire instrument has been rebuilt with modern improvements and the action reversed, enabling the or ganist to face the chancel. A "quintfote" has been added to the pedal organ, giving the effect of thirty-two-foot register. The manual couplers are replaced by pneu- matic pistons operated by ivory thumb knobs, and composition pedals are intro duced, drawing stops on each manual. The work is by Hook & Hastings of Bos- ton.
 MT. Hedden's yearly series of organ re- citals begins November 10 and he will be assisted by eminent vocalists, among whom will be Mrs. Tyler Dutton and MT. Heman Powers, the tenore, of New York, both new to New Haven audiences, as well as by favorite artists who have been heard here. The tickets are on sale at Steinert's.

HARVEST FESTIVAL.

Sermon by Pastor at
 Grace HI. E.-Interesting Exercises in the Evenins-Address by MT.
 Matthews Church Tastefully
 Decorated.
 At Grace M. E. church yesterday, harvest festival was held. In the morn ing the pastor, Rev. James A. Coote, preached in veritable rustic bower. Be- hind him, in profuse array were the products of the harvest and in front of him were placed plants and leaves tinged with autumnal beauty. The sermon was appropriate to the occasion based on text from Gen. 8: xx-''the seed time and the harvest. He spoke of the sowing in corruption and vice and the harvesting in jails and asylums. Then there were the seeds scattered in the young peoples societies and the Sunday schools and the harvest gathered in eternity. What a small grain of seed was that which Robert Raikes sowed in London when he called together those few ragamuf6ms on Sunday, but what giant growth has sprung from it in the Sunday schools of to-day, stand ing on this platform. 1 seem to hear the tread of the millions who through the Sun day school shall ascend the summits of God, and take possession of the heavenly plains.
 In the morning the children of the Sun day school carried out 8 varied and extremely entertaining program. It was, in deed, beautiful sight to see the children in their pretty costumes speaking and sing ing in the midst of bewildering array of the trophies of the harvest. They deserve especial praise for the creditable manner in which they did their part in the even- ing's program.
 MT. Matthews,a a layman in attendance at the ecumenical council held at Washing ton last week, and 8 prominent grocer in the city of Glasgow, made an appropriate address in which he referred in a very complimentary manner to the exercises of the evening.
 UNIQUE SUPPER.
 Wednesday evening the gentlemen of Grace M E, church will provide and serve a supper in the church parlors. They will wait on the table, wash the dishes and do everything else that usually falls to the lot of the ladies, who are this time expected only to make compliments. It might be a good scheme for the young ladies to make few notes for reference in leap year.

Tho ughtf tful and Suggestive Sermon
 Preached at the Church of the Mes-
 siah.
 Rev. J. c. Squires preached last night the first of series of four sermons. The subject of his discourse was "Why I Be- ieve in Religion" The text was taken from Psalms, 19; and 91; 1.
 To the question "What is religiona" the sceptic on the one hand answers, it is the invention of priesthoods, superstition, and sham. The devotee answers, on the other hand, it is supernatural revelation to favored people. The position taken by the speaker was that it is the natural outgrowth of deathless religious instincts implanted in man from the beginning All life is surrounded by mystery. Man tries to penetrate the beyond, reaching out of man after God. From this grows all religions, bibles and churches.
 I believe in religion because in this shifting world man feels the need of grasping something more powerful than himself. The consciousness of this rela- tionship, which is essentially religion, is what gives him strength.
 The sermons are short and intended to be popular. Considerable interest has has been manifested in them.
