President Harrison's THANKSGIVING
Cheer,

1t is very glad incident of the mar
velous prosperity which has crowded the
year now drawing to close that its help
full and reassuring touch has been felt by
all our people. 1t has been as wide as
our country and so special that every
home has felt its comforting influence.
1t is too great to be the work of mans
power and too particular to be the device
Of his mind. To God, the beneficent and
all wise, who makes the labors of men to
be fruitful, redeems their losses by His
grace, and the measure of whose giving
is as much beyond the thoughts of man
as it is beyond his deserts, the praise and
gratitude of the people of this favored
nation are justly due. Now, therefore, I,
Benjamin Harrison, President of the
United States of America, do hereby APP
point Thursday, the Goth day of Novem-
Der present, to be day of joyful Thanks
giving to God for the bounties of His
providence, for the peace in which we
are permitted to enjoy them and for the
preservation of those institutions of civil
and religious liberty which He gave our
fathers the wisdom to devise and estab-
lish and us the moral courage to pre-
serve. Among the appropriate observ-
ances of the day are rest from toll, wor-
ship in the public congregation, the re-
newal of family ties about our American
firesides, and thoughtful helpfulness
toward those who suffer lack of the body
or of the spirit.

piggery is far from what it should be,
if the statements of Bridgeport papers
are based on fact. Neglect in cleaning
the stys properly; in removing the offal
after 1t is thrown out of the windows and
the necessary stencil from half rotten
garbage, more or less of which the hogs
refuse, which adds to the filth in the
pens; the huge vat, 10 or 20 feet long
and three or four feet wide, located on
the ground floor, into which the garbage
is dumped; neglect to bury carcasses of
hogs or other stock which dies, all add to

come so apparent.

Killed on the Traak,

Patrick Brennan, son of Mrs Honora
Brennan, widow of Thomas Brennan,
whose home was with his mother near
the tunnel, was instantly killed, last Fri
day night, on the New England road
near Clayton, flag station not far from
New Britain. Mr. Brennan had just pass
ed Is years, had been in the employ of
the company as brakeman for about a
week and, not being hardened to the long
hours and lack of sleep too often demand
ed of the poor brakeman, fell asleep
while seated near the rail, where he had
sat down when sent back to flag train.
Mr. Brennan had recently been in the
employ of the road on the Hawleyville
section and his father, once prominently
connected with the western division of
the New England road, met his death by
being thrown from a car and losing leg
near Southbury, five years ago this
month. Patrick Brennan was of the crew
sent out that afternoon because of the
wreck of the east bound passenger train
and was found by section men who had
been assisting at the wreck, still alive but
unconscious. 1t is supposed that he was
struck ON the head by passing train, as
he sat almost out of the reach of danger,
but nothing definite is known of the cir
cumstances. He was placed on train
going into Hartford, but died before
reaching the city. The city medical ex-
aminer found a fracture of the skull just
above the left ear, but no other marks on
his person. The remains of the unfor-
tunate young man arrived at Sandy
Hook on train l and were conveyed by
Taylor & Blake to his mothers home.
The funeral, Monday at II, from St.
Rose was largely attended. Interment

young man universally well spoken of
and, at one time, was in the employ of
