There were three alarms of fire yester
day morning. The first was in the chin
ney, and caused by defective hue, at the
house of Mr.. John B. Fitch, 191 Church
street. 1t was soon extinguished.
The second alarm was rung in soon afte,
from box 10 for fire in private dwelling
at 305 George street. The house is occu'
pied by Mrs. Cameron, land is owned by the
Joseph E. Sheffield estate.
A barrel Of rubbish had caught fire from
some hot ashes, and created quite blaze.
The firemen soon subdued it. The damage
was about $3.50.
The recall for this fire had hardly been
rung in when another alarm was sounded
from box 121. This was for fire which
was raging in the frame dwelling of John
Creighton at SO Morris street. Owing to q
defective fue fire from chimney had be-
come communicated to the roof in the at
tic, and it was in flames before the arrival
of the irenen. By vigorous work, how
ever, the house was saved, but the roof wss
almost totally destroyed.

First Stage Researsal Held Last |

lent outlook for the Performance |
Next February.
The stage rehearsal of the "Mikado,"
which is to be produced at the Hyperion
on the 25th, Goth and 9th of February by
the Dessausr Opera company was held last
evening in the Hyperion. The company
was out in force and showed that they had
already had considerable training. They
all have their parts we'll in hand, and give
evidence that there will be an excellent
entertainment. The company this year
has more life and spirit than last, and all
take remarkable interest in the success of
the venture. The music of the "Mikado,"
| which is so well-known to all, is rendered
| in manner which will be sure to captivate
the audience. The costumes have, great
many of them, been obtained at consider
able expense from the native Japanese
| Specially and Acrobatic company which
played at the Eden musee in New York. The
remainder are entirely new and most
beautiful in design. Miss Justine Inger-
soil, who has been 30 instrumental in plac-
| VA
| the stage here, is the heart and soul of the
company. She displayed her executive
ability last year in the successful produc-
ton of "Pinafore," and the "Mikado"
promises to be even more of success.
Mr.. Dessauer has had the training of the
company so far and his work is certainly
most admirable. Mr.. Riley, who had been
engaged for giving the finishing touches
to the training is now on the high seas
| between Liverpool and New York, but is
expected here in less than week. Mr..
Harry Ensign, who will sing the part Of
"Koko" is one of the best known and most
popular of the amateur actors in
New Haven. His voice in it's
depth and scope has this year surprised
even those to whom he is best known.
Mr.. Williams, who sings the part of "Nanki
Poo" is new member of the company
and has voice of wonderful delicacy and
sweetness. Eminent critics say that he
has a brilliant future before him as singer.

OBITU
Mrs. Aurelia Mills Wynkoop.

4AEDs "A uECAAh '" MAOOps
From yesterdays New York Observer we
clip the following relative to the death of
. highly esteemed lady, native of New
Haven. Here her younger years were
spent and here she again resided for a
period in later life about thirty years ago.
MRS. AURELrA MILLS wYNKooP.
In Washington, D. c., December 26,
1891, Aurelia Mills Wynkoop, widow of
the Rev. S. R. Wynkoop, in the 92d year
of her age.
Mrs. Wynkoop was born in New Haven,
Conn, daughter of Isaac Mills, ESQ.,, and
Abigail Phelps She came from noble an
cestors % both sides, many of whose best
traits she inherited. She grew up in the
social circle to which belonged Presidents
Dwight, Day and Woelsey of Yale college;
DR.. Taylor, Professors Stillman, Goodrich,
Noah " ebster and others with their fam
lilies. Her natural vivacity, amiability of
disposition and varied accomplishments
made her q favorite in society and gave
promise of a brilliant career. In early
womanhood she became a sincere Chris
tian, and thence forward gave herself with
rare devotion, wisdom and executive ability
to Christian service.
AS wife of the Rev. s. R. Wynkoop, for
twenty years minister of the First Presby-
terrain church, Wilmington, Del, che
FOUND exercise for all her gifts. The
sacred duties of wife and mother she
never neglected. But che found time to
be leader in all the services which
woman can render to the church of
Christ.
In later life opportunities of extensive
travel were opened to her, both in our
own and foreign lands. Wherever she
and her husband sojourned in France,
Italy, Egypt, in Palestine and Syria, in
China, India, Japan, they sought the ac-
quaintance of those engaged in the work
Of evangelization, whom they endeavored
in every way to help. In 1880 and 1881,
with her eldest son, she accomplished her
second complete circuit of the globe. She
| was then in the eightieth year of her age.
The closing years of her life after the
death of her husband in 1876 were spent
with her two sons, partly in New York,
partly in Washington. She felt that her
life had been prolonged for still further
service in the cause of Christ, which she
unweariedly sought to render. Latterly
she seemed to be living on the very Dor
der land Of heaven She was always bright
and cheerful. Her faculties were preserved
almost pnimpaired to, the last. 4,,f b.
She passed away in perfect peace after
abort Illness. Funeral services were con-
Quoted on Monday, December ,28. in the
Western Presbyterian church of Washing
ton, ,by the Rev. John Chester, d. D, g.
lifelong friend, and Rev. DR.. Sunderland.
On the. following day she was laid to rest
in Woodlawn, N. Y, beside her husband,
from whom she had been separated more
than fifteen years. II 6;.s5g al,,, wa

New Engraving Process Patented II
This City.

Now Engraving Process Patented in
This City.
The new process of hand engraving in
| and through hand painting, has attracted
wide attention among painters, engravers
| and other artists.
By the old method, the decorative work
on metals, bone, celluloid, ivory, ebony,
| vulcanized rubber, hard woods and like
substances was begun by the engraver and
| finished by the painter.
This placed the latter at q serious disad-
| vantage. The best work produced by this
method was crude and inartistic. You
must have observed the ornamentation on
your silverware or toilet articles. It stands
out on the surface as though it had been
fastened on with paste, and you tremble for
fear that it will drop off at the first shock,
To artists and persons of artistic in
stincts this has long been a cause of re-
greet. But there seemed no remedy. The
| skillful workmen could create nothing but
| daubs. All agreed that the fault lay in
| the process and not with the workman.
Indeed, the old process had been brought
as near perfection as possible, and yet the
work produced was both costly and unsat-
isfactory.
In the newly discovered process the
painter leads the engraver. This is con-
sistent with the principles of art. and as q

or to that produced by the old method.
The engraver's lines stand out strongly,
and give the colors the appearance of being
set into the substance instead of being
pasted on its surface. The cost of manu-
facture by the new process is much less
than by the old method.
A piece of silverware ornamented by the
old way and retailing for $25 can be turned
out by the new method and sold for So.
This is also true of work done on all the
other substances.
H. The new process has recently been pat
ented and all rights controlled by the
Engravure Process company. ....

of the company, and J. B. Ellis, its man

FAVOR A CLUB HOUSE.

Prospects That the Young Mons
Republican Club VIII Ere Long |
Have m Attractive Club Building
UnitiHE Social objects With the
Main Object-Prestdent Hubbard
and Alderman Hitler ON the Sub.
ject.
At the meeting of the Young Mems Re-
publican club last evening there was not
quite large enough gathering present to
bring forward and act upon the project
pending now in the club of hiring suit
able building for club house and head
quarters for the clubs members socially as
well as politically. The committee on the
subject, However, reported that their report
was heartily in favor of the project as one
in every way 4fkely to prove for the best
interests of the club. The committee are
ex-Assessor Marsh, Captain Luzerne Lud-
ington, Alderman A. Maxcy Hitler and
Samuel Smith.
Action on thes subject was, however,
temporarily deferred. President B. Dexter
Hubbard said that next week q mass meet
ing of the club will be held. It will be
held next Thursday evening, when the
whole subject, said Mr.. Hubbard, will
come up for action, and when committees
will be appointed to arrange regarding the
entire matter. On account of the short
notice for last nights meeting many mem
bers did not attend, not having had Motif
cation, and not over Is per cent. of the
membership was present. Next week,
however, big rally will take place.
Alderman Hitler, when interviewed on
the subject, said: The club is strong one
and wants to be still stronger. This result
can easily be accomplished. The club has
now $50 members. 1t is proposed to add 9
social element to the attractions, increase
the interest and enlarge the membership
To this end the hiring of suitable
have precedents for this. We have looked
over the case in all it's aspects and think
everything points in the right direction in
this matter, giving assurance that the
project is strongly advisable. In New
York the club there hired and equipped {
club building, and the result has been {
grand increase of interest and accession Of
members. just SO with the Cincinnati
Young Mems Republican club and with
| like clubs of our party in other cities. Tit
clubs were made larger and did still more
effective work for the republican party.
The project is to hire building in som'
suitable central location, at cost not ex
pensive and to fit it up and equip it so tina
| members shall find there means for whole
some social enjoyment and recreation. I
is not proposed to make it costly at all.
President Hubbard said the tax pc
capita year would not probably be owe
fifty cents month or Sc year an amour
which no member of the club would in'
any difficulty with. Possibly it might b
50 year. But the impetus given thereb
great. The presidential and state cam
paigns begin to loom up in the not far dis
tant future. There will be work enougl
then, work for all The club did effectiv
work in the last big campaign is well re
membered.

COAsTING AND SKATING.

Happy Youth on Sleds and Double
Rtppers-Skaters at whitney Lake.
The Ice Net Very Strong Yet-The
Ice Crop.
The sleighbells jingled merrily yesterday
over the scanty depth of snow. But in
the BITS and fields where the old snow
defed the recent effects of rain and thaw,
there is depth of about foot, and the
aforesaid lots and fields look feecy white
with their snowy mantle. The small
youngsters and the young misses and mas
tors were having boisterously iubilant
times in coasting yesterday afternoon after
school hours. The weather was of the
finest that winter affords, the air clear and
bracing, the skies bright. Out at Whitney
lake, also, not a few students and others
were skating, both in spots near the dam
and up above the new bridge. The ice is
not thick enough yet, however, to ensure
perfect safety, but those who went out
and skated came back in fine spirits de-
lighted with their sport and all aglow with
the enjoyment and healthful exercise.
With a continuance of the cold spell for a
couple of days more the ice at the lake
would be all right, and plenty thick
enough for the most venturesome, but,
alas, the weather prophets say warmer
for today and still warmer for the morrow,
with snow to top off with.
Perhaps the prettiest coasting scene in
in the city yesterday was that at the Sach-
ems woods, just aboYe the Hilhouse resi-
dence, where sleds and double rippers
quite numerous were to be seen. shooting
down the steep hill into the hollow and then
up over small rise onto the level be-
yond. The sport was greatly enjoyed by
girls as we'll as boys. Also at the steep
Edwards street hill double ripper loads OF
masters and misses came with much We
locity down the street on tho sidewalk,
the ride extending from Prospect street to
Whitney avenue, thence across the avenue
further on q short distance. It was great
sport riding down the long incline, but
the return trip to get another ride was
rather lengthy proceeding. A few red
fences near by, looking rather wonderingly
at the double rippers as they shot by with
the speed of the wind on the down grade.
