A NEW HAVEN MAN.
 Dropped Dead While Dresslng-An
 Elderly Pattern Makers Sudden
 Demise at His Hotel in Bridgeport
 Yesterday.
 BRIDGEPORT, May 24.-For about year past Isaac Smith, an elderly man who came here from New Haven, has boarded at Wagner's Union hotel and worked as a pattern maker at the shop of the Bridge port Check Punch company. Although a good deal of an invalid he was habitually an early riser and when he had not come downstairs at the hotel at @ o'clock this morning Clerk Fred w. Schleicher went to his room to see if anything was wrong. Upon opening the door he saw Smith lying dead on the floor alongside the bed. The body was still warm. The deceased had evidently arisen and began to dress when fatally stricken. The expression on his face was calm, indicating that death had been painless and probably instantaneous.
 Dr. Bill, who has been the medical atten- dant of the deceased for several weeks, de- cided that death was due to heart failure superinduced by a variety of ailments. The body was taken to Bishops undertsk- ing rooms, and telegrams sent to New Ha- ven, where it is understood the deceased has @ wife and other relatives.
 His age was about sixty-seven and his employers gave him the reputation of being one of the most expert pattern makers in the country. On account of chronic ill health he has been able to work only part of the time for several years. Before com ing here he worked for Hoggson & Pettis on Court street, New Haven.
