ployed 10 the factory, but all appear to have
escaped without injury.
The efforts OF the firemen saved the
building. and large annex building just

was saved entirely. thus preventing an ap-
palling conhagration. The total loss will

OBITUARY.
Death of Charles IL. Oh aplain.

Death of Charles L. Chaplain.
 Charles L. Chaplain, one of New Haven's oldest and best known citizens, died yes terday morning at his residence, 259 Church street, after protracted illness, in his seventy sixth year. MT. Chaplain was born in the eastern part of Maryland. but had lived in this city over half g century and had become much attached here, both by marriage and education. His wife, who died many years since, was daughter of Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, and sister of Eli Whitney of this city. After his graduation from the Yale law school he went to Baltimore, where he was employed in the practice of his profession for short time, but soon after returned to this city.
 One rarely meets more gentlemanly or courteous person than was Mr. Chaplan. He had allSthat grace and politeness which characterized gentlemen born and bred in the south, for whose customs and institu- tions he always retained hearty sympa- thy and partiality, and during the war of the rebellion he was rather pronounced in his remarks on the conduct of the war, but personally he was most genial and con- panionable man, sensitively careful of the feelings of others. He had an extensive acquaintance among the prominent politi- clans and business men of the country and formerly made frequent trips to Wash ington. He several times was strongly talked of as candidate for congress from this district. He was a gifted conversa- tionalist and always had an ample fund of anecdote and was always ready to enter tain his friends with "reminiscences of pub lie men, many of which were exceedingly interesting and admirably told. He was keen-w -witted and in discussion most ably carried his point. He was an extensive reader and possessed wonderful fund of general information. He had philosophy of his own, and although some of his friends did not always agree with his be- liefs, they respected him for his faith in his own ideas.
 For many years his tall, slender and graceful figure was one of the most famil- far features of our streets and he was al- ways ready for a pleasant chat with his friends. He hesitated little in his speech at times while selecting the most fitting phraseology, but usually his thoughts came much faster than he could express them.
 He leaves two daughters, who both reside in this city.

NEW YORK. Marcn S The stock market to-day was unsettled and dropping. The change in the New England di- rectory could scarcely be called a factor in the days operations, although New England was still one of tho few leading stocks. There was further pressure upon Reading, but later there was heavy covering and late in the day it became firmer The talk of the day was almost all upon St. Paul and coupled with heavy sales of the stock were new rumors that there would be no dividend at tine coming meeting of the directors. The stock at one time showed decline of per cent There was more support to the Wander blts. The grangers were all lower in sympathy with St. Paul. One of the weaker points Chicago Gas, which, selling ex-dividend and ex rights, retired from 75ss to 741s. The other in- dustrials were dull and featureless.
