EMMA AsRoTT.S DEATH.

S'," Told Her Physicians She Would Sing
Her Next Song In Heaven.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. emma
Abbott, the great American prima donna,
who died at the Hotel Templeton, in thia
sjty, during the morning of pneumonia,
was taken. ill on Wednesday night, but
persisted in going OH the stage and sing
ing her part. Notwithstanding her physi-
clans advised her not to do So On New
Years Day she was taken alarmingly ill,
and from that time she has grown worse
until she died. The great singer was
conscious almost to the last moment,
and her last words were 81 am not
afraid to die"
Those present at the bedside were Alice
Anterior, Miss Nellie Franklin, Miss
Vernon, Mr.. Pruett her manager, Mr..
and Mrs. Niche1ena and Miss Annandale
of the company; Manager Pratt and wife
of the hotel and DR.. Pinkerton.
The body was embalmed and will go
to Gloucester, Mass, where her husband
is buried. Miss Abbott confidently
expected to die, and told her physician
that her next song would be sung in
Heaven. Since that time she has failed
rapidly and, although her manager has
telegraphed all over the country that
she was going to get well, she never
wavered in the belief that she was soon
to die. A singular coincidence connected
with the affair is that she died on the
anniversary of her husbands death.

BIRDS sEEK1Ne THE CITIES.

Hunger Driving Strange Feather
Folk InSo Town to Secure Food.
Great SHOWS and frigid weather in the
north have driven thousands of north
ern birds into Connecticut, and there
isn't food enough lying about loose in
the state to support them. The big
Arctic snowy owl has immigrated in
great numbers, and scores of them have
been shot by local hunters. Every
winter the crows of the northern New
England states come south and spend
the winter in Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Long Island and New Jersey.
They seldom go farther south. The
crows even in Massachusetts migrate as
soon as cold weather sets in. The SHOWS
of the old Bay State are too deep for
them. Immense flocks Of crows are
seen daily in Connecticut. In one flock
which hunter saw near Norwich one
morning recently there were more than
1900 birds.

WnLLMANT1c, Conn, Jan. &c. II.
Hyde, chairman of the Commission on
Diseases of Domestic Animals, has been
summoned to Monroe, Conn, to investi-
gate a new and peculiar disease of worms
in the lungs, which was discovered by a
New York inspector through post NOR
tenn examination of diseased animals.
The only contagion feared is by the ami
mails coughing the worms up and de-
posting them on the ground. Scientific
examination proves these parasites
to be remarkably tenacious of life, even
living through fyost, and are gathered
by animals whilo feeding.

NEW HAVEN, Jan 6.-Shortly after 4
O'Clock this morning fire was discovered
at the Westville steam saw mill, on
Whalley avenue, just inside the city
line, The alarm which was rung in was
Immediately answered by a majority of
the engines in the city and for five hours
they poured a steady stream of water
into the burning building. The engines
met with a scarcity Of water and as the
river was quite near they utilized the
water to be obtained from that source.
The machinery in the mill was entirely
destroyed and also large quantity of
lumber. The building, which was a
large one, was destroyed, not even the
walls remaining standing. TIE loss
will will be about $4,000; partly cover
ed by insurance. The origin of the fire
has not been determined. On the top
floor of the mill was hall in W hich
entertainments and dances were given.
Last night a musical entertainment was
given and it is thought that some one
threw lighted cigar stub near the in
fiammable material. The flames broke
out in this hall and had gained great
Roadway before being discovered.

Money Mad is one of the greatest

In one scene the Clark street bridge, in

GUS triumph of stage mechanism ever
seen in Waterbury. The play was pro-

great satisfaction. The moral of the
play is wholesome, and it was interpret
