Death of Mrs. Lucy Yale.


 Mrs. Lucy Hall, widow of Wooster Yale of this city, died Saturday after short ill ness at her home, 23 Mott street, at the ad- vanced age of ninety years. She leaves a very large circle of mourning friends and relatives. She was very quiet and gentle in her ways and kind and loving to every one, causing all who knew her to love her dearly. Her last sickness and death gave perfect example of 8 true Christian. Her trust and love for her savior was so qulet and unobtrusive that few truly realized it until they saw her in her last sickness, when she was continually repeating pas sages from the scriptures, revealing her faith and trust in God.
 She suffered DO pain after the first two days of her illness and was in full posses sion of her faculties, perfectly resigned to the will of God. She was very happy in the love of her children, who were around her, and only anxious for those who had not the faith and trust, and prayed often that they might all be saved, for she want to meet everyone in the better land.
 She leaves three sons and three dauph- ters, George W. of Hartford. William H, of Winona, Minn., and Edwin A. ot Fairview, Cal. The daughters are Miss Esther Yale, Mrs. Cornelia, wife Of George R. Mott, and Mrs. Susie, wife of Henry Platt, all of New Haven and forty nine grandchildren, four great grandchildren; making five generations. Had she passed away one day sooner it would have been on the same day of the same month that her husband died, forty nine years ago. Deceased was member of the Church of the Redeemer, and was one of the oldest members of that church. Rev. Dr. Phillips will oficiate at the funeral, which. takes place tomorrow forenoon, at 11:30. The interment will be in Wallingford.

A Man Knocked Down Early Sunday
 Morning on Grand Avenue.
 A man by the name of Mccarthy was brutally attacked yesterday morning about 12:3O o'clock near the corner of Grand avenue and Hamilton street. He was walking up the street, when three men came up behind, and one stepped up to him suddenly and grabbed him. A strug- gle ensued, when Mccarthy quickly fell to the walk, his head striking with a sicken- ing thud. He was struck probably with a pair of brass knuckles. A couple of men who were standing on the other side of the street immediately rushed over to aid the injured man, while his assailant as speedily made off in another direction. Mccarthy was sorely cut about the head, one bad gash being over the left eye. He was taken to the Grand avenue precinct in the patrol wagon and physician sum- moned.
