Death of '. A. Mcclure.

Joseph A., only son of Captain and Mrs. J. A. Mcclure, died at his residence on Portsea street Thursday of Bright's dis ease. Young Mcclure, formerly was first officer of the John L. Treat, of which ves- sel Captain Mcclure has for 8 long time been in command. Those who know of the ability of the deceased have stated that he was remarkable navigator for one so young.
 Mir. McLure's health failed so that he was obliged to leave the ship last June, af ter which time he was attended by several local physicians. During the early part of last winter he went south for his health and located at Savannah, Ga., where he procured the best of medical attendance, which undoubtedly prolonged his life, but, unfortunately, could not effect perma- nent cure.
 Mrs. Mcclure and Mrs. George T. Pratt, the mother and sister of the deceased, were with him during his southern visit. The funeral, ,sKhich will be attended from 137 Portsea street, will probably be held on Sunday.

Officer Trippss BanQuet.

An impromptu banquet was served at the Union depot last evening, through the kindness and thoughtfulness of Officer Tripp, to party of twenty-five or more immigrants who were waiting to take the 1O:O5 train up the road. The night previ- ous several large frosted cakes had been left in the depot by some thoughtless traveller, and as no one had called for them the whole-souled officer cut them and spread them on one of the radiators-a veritable feast to the hungry sojourners in a foreign land The way that cake disap- peared was caution, and even the immi- grants themselves were no more pleased than the genial officer was with the appre- citation of his kindness as evinced in the eyes and manner of his guests. In addi- ton to the cake the officer procured at his own expense some tempting viands from the restaurant in the depot and gave them to the travellers.

A DOUBLE FUNERAL
Miss Lemngwell.

The funeral of Miss Guillerma Weed Lefingwell occurred on Thursday after noon at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Weed, and was attended by large com pany of sorrowing friends. Rev. Dr.. Chapman paid a tender tribute to the beauty of character, and the helpfulness of life which endeared her to such wide circle of friends.
 She shed kindness as the sun sheds light. She pitied the poor, the forsaken, and the friendless. Her heart was open as the gates of day She loved all beauti- full things. Her nature was so sympa- thetic that she seemed to be trembling be- tween smiles and tears; and in all places of trouble she was solace and comfort. In her presence happiness and hope be- came contagious, and shadows began to flee away.
 She gave to others everything but her grief-her own anguish she patiently and silently endured.
 Life was sweet to her, but death found her ready to depart in the faith and strength of Christ.
 Her memory will be cherished long in the homes she did so much to brighten, and the hearts she did so much to bless.

In Response to Popular Demand at
 Some Future Date-The Hartford
 Production.
 In response to popular demand ,numer- ous requests having been made to Miss Ingersoll, it is more than probable that Pinafore will be repeated in this city at an early date by the same excellent company which created such triumph 8 few nights since. The production will be given at re- duced prices in order to enable all who may wish to attend. In mentioning the chorus which did such excellent work at the recent revival the name of Miss Anna Haesche, one of the leading sopranos, was inadvertently omitted. Her clear soprano voice was one of the features of the ex- ceptionally fine chorus work.
 The production of Pinafore in Hartford will not occur next Friday, as the Trinity College Glee club will give concert on that day. A subsequent date for the pro- duction will be arranged later
