Ex-Mayor Robertson's Demise Mo-
mentarlly Expected-One of Yale's
Oldest Graduates-As sketch of His
Life.
Ex- Mayor John B. Robertson is declin-
ing rapidly at his home at 131 Temple
street, and reports late last night were
that his death was hourly expected. The
difficulty is a general breaking up of the
vital tissues due to old age. His last ILL
ness is somewhat similar to that of the
late ex-President Noah Porter, and he
will probably sink to sleep quietly, as did
the great educator. He lay last evening
in q stupor. He has eaten nothing for two
days and is quite feverish. He has been
aillng for two weeks, but has only taken
his bed for the past four days. Both his
wife end his son, Judge A. Heaton Rob-
ertson, have given up hopes for his recov-
cry.
Mr.. Robertson was born in 1909. He is
one of the Oldest graduates of Yale, being
member Of the class Of 1929. Very few
of his classmates are still living.
appointed to the Office June IA, 1840, and
beginning his duties July 2, succeeding
the late e. A. Mitchell. During His ad.
ministration the building in which the
postoffice was was taken down and later
the postofice was moved into the then
Brewster building, corner of Chapel and
Union streets, which was erected by the
late Hon. James Brewster. Old Brewster
hall was overhead. During the interim
pending the erection of the new building
the postofice was in the Adelphi building
across the street. The American Mutua
Insurance company had its Office in thu
Adelphi building. OF this company Mr.
Robertson was for many years secretary
| and treasurer.
Mr.. Robertson served the city as coun
Gilman two years, 1868; and as alderman
from the Second ward in 1878. He wa
mayor of New Haven two years from
January /, 1881, to January 1, 1888
Since that time he has been enjoyin!
quietly the pleasures of a seren
and happy old age, surrounded by loving
family of children and grandchildren
| At 3 o'clock this morning there was n
material change in his condition.

THE FIRST ELECTRIC CAR
Over the West Haven Road-Sixty
Pa4SenUcr6.

Over the West Haven Road-Sixty
Passengers.
The first electric car passed over the
West Haven road at about 1890 this morn
ing. Everything worked to perfection.
Quite a crowd collected and cheered the
car as it came whizzing around the curve
over Chapel street. The first trip of the
electric cars with the much-opposed "trol-
Icy system" was certainly success. The
car carried at least sixty passengers, COM
posed of the railroad men, operators and
employees of the power house.
The car left the terminus of the road at
Savin Rock about three minutes before 10
O'Clock and arrived at the corner of Church
and Chapel streets at exactly 1926, max
ing the trip from the rock to the green in
twenty-eight minutes, stopping several
minutes on Kimberly avenue. The trial
trip of the car was an emphatic success.
Superintendent Ward stated to CoU-
RIER reporter this morning that all the
cars of tine company would be electrically
equipped as early next week as possible,
and it is expected that the road will be
running with electricity as the motive
power by the latter part of next week.
Immediately after the arrival of the car
in this city the return trip to the barn was
started and made in seventeen minutes.

Yesterday.
About four hundred people went on the
Dwight Place church picnic yesterday to

The lemonade was way above the standard
of the usual picnic variety. Each person
on the boat received ticket for ice
cream. In the bali game the married men
were pitted against the single men, and
the latter won.-The following are the
names of the winners of the other athletic
sports: Potato race, w. R. Shepard; put

The tub race was laughable failure,
The men were too large for the tubs, which
would sink, and the scene afforded as much

ment Circles.
Now that steamer 2's house is declared
unsafe, in fact in almost tottering condi-
ton, the question of new location for an
engine house in place thereof is revived,
and more vigorously than ever before.
For several years the inadequacy of steam
or 2's house for what was required of it
has stared the fire commissioners in the
face and they have revolved in their minds
what to do in the case when the time
came for change. Fit and eligible looa-
tions in the center of the city for new
steamer house are not numerous. The
commissioners have considered several To-
cations. one the spot on st. John street
next to the railroad bridge, adjacent to 2's
house: another the DR.. Cremin property;
and the G.. A. Dickerman property on
Chapel street, near the Elliott house. The
one on st, John street has been discussed
pro and con, and the question Of
its eligibility has been rolled
over in all sorts of lights and yet is not
thoroughly approved. Its points have
been we'll sired and discussed. The Crem-
in property has its advantages and Is being
discussed. The Dickerman site 10 awaken.
