SAD DEATH OF WILLIAM sKIDMoRE.

William Skidmore, native of New town and remembered by many here, but who has for many years been resi- dent of Bridgeport, came to an untimely end at Bridgeport, Tuesday evening. He went to the Rosedale wharf at about 6.15 to transact some business at the freight office, and started back just as the z .03 train came in. Mir Skidmore did not hear the warning shouts of the bystand- CTS and walked just in front of the en- zine, which struck him and threw him to one side. He was carried to the baggage room and all possible aid rendered, but he breathed only a few minutes. A touching incident in the case was that the dead mans brother, Robert, who had accompanied him as far as the crossing, on hearing that man had been killed hastened to the baggage room and was grief stricken to see his brothsr lying dead. Mr Skidmore was born in New town 5S years ago and lived here for g number of years, having taught schoo In Middle district. He leaves brother hODeEb, d Iedl SobasC aSShO ii pi ies3S POio VI and sister, Miss Carrie Skidmore, who Is known to many Newcomers. The de ceased was nephew of William Bots ford and w. l.. 1errill and has many oth CT relatives here. He was messenge running between Bridgeport and Nev York and made many friends by his gen ial ways, who regret his death,

Medical Examiner Donald son was immediately notified but owing to darkness it was not deemed advisable to raise the body before morning. Then by the assistance of several neighbOrs it was with great difficulty brought it to the surface and readily recognized as the body of Anna Orr. Considering the length of time that had elapsed the body was in remarkably good state of preser- vation. One curious feature was that the face was in an advanced state of cal cification, that is, turned to stone. Al ter thorough examination the examin- CT decided there could be no suspicion of foul play and gave a certificate. The body was removed to Bishops morgue in Bridgeport. Officer Arnold was present when the body was brought up and in- formed the family.

l Dr Kennedy, who will be remembered
 by many an old soldier, as president of
 the Examining Board of Surgeons Tor l the discharge of Invalid Soldiers at the
 Satterlee U. $. A. General Hospital, West
 Philadelphia, Pa, found the need or a
 medicine that would dissolve the excess
 of uric and tactic acid in the blood, which
 is the cause of many ailments physicians
 encounter, kidney, liver and urinary
 troubles, dyspepsia, rheumatism, scrofu- | la, salt rheum, excessive nervousness
 and sleeplessness all arise from this one
 cause. After patient toll and experi-
 ment, Dr Kennedy's Favorte remedy was
 finally produced.
 That it met the want, ,and accomplished
 the cure of these various diseases, is evil dent by the grateful acknowledgements ! of thousands of the best citizens of the
 country.
 1 There are few Grand Army men more
 widely known than Commander James 5. Dean of Gen Grant Post, RondouG, N. Y. In speaking of Dr kennedy's Favorte Remedy, Commander Dean re- gently said: "I suffered from an aggra- vated stomach trouble and chronic dys- pepsia for years. Various physicians prescribed for me without benefit. At ter using Dr Kennedy's Favorite Reme- 1 uy put week, lelb DeGJeI, duu d iiuoiC
 further use completely cured me. 1t is the grandest medicine on earth and does just what they say, cures dyspepsia, stomach disorders and builds up bro ken down or overworked person, for am a living testimonial to it's merit.' Mr Wilbur l.. Hale, Quartermaster
 Pratt Post, G. A. R., Kingston, N. r., speaks with equally as forcible words. 'After l returned from the war;" said Mir Hale, II had most horrible case of Salt Rheum. Doctors gave ne up, but Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy healed every sore, strengthened my nerves and built up my weakened constitution; l now enjoy life.
 Mir F. c. Brink of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., suffered from catarrh of the bladder and chronic kidney complaint for 20 years, and had given up all hope of ever find ing relief, when Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy was brought to his notice and by the time he had taken the fourth bot tie his old trouble had entirely disap- peared.
 It is d medicine that cures and we can do no better service to persons who may be suffering from disease, than to say, ''use Dr K"nnedv's Favorite Remedy, flor it will cure you if taken according to di- recti0nS.''
