so concerns himself with women's gear
that he has begged his new wife to wear no
more huge sleeves, and that she has con-

the same sunny complaisance as her royal
mother, who. maugre her flesh and her
semi-royal Dutch spouse, has long been
the most popular member of the house of
Brunswick. Yet fat Molly has a temper

While Officer Currsn was patrolling on
Prindle Alley yesterday afternoon about
o'clock, he heard some disturbance in the
house of Lucy Chapman which led him to
inquire into the matter. When he en-
tered the house he found John P. Fellows
lying on the sofa besmeared with blood,
which was flowing from his finger and
left leg. Mrs. Chapman told the officer
that Fellows had met with an accident
and that she would take care of him. The
story appeared all straight to Officer Cur
ran and as he was on his way to head
quarters he met Sergeant Cook, who
thought 1t was best to investigate 1t far
Their. Both officers went into the house
and found the stairs covered with blood.
In the presencs of both officers Eel
lows stated that the woman stabbed
him with a carving knife. She did not
deny the statement but said Fellows had
assaulted her. Both were in an intoxi-

The Matter Decided at a <sStar Cham
ber'' Meeting of the Board of Select
men Last Night.
The board of selectmen last evening
definitely settled, so far as they are con-
cerned, the question of the widening of
Townsend avenue, at Morris Cove by de-
Gliding that the width Of the roadway is
fifty feet, and giving the petitioners for
rear roadway leave to withdraw. This set
ties the matter SO far as the selectmen are
concerned, but it is probable that some of
of the defeated petitioners will carry the
case to the courts.
The session of the board was of 'star
chamber" nature and continued for several
hours. Arguments pro and con were
made by the various members of the board,
the matter finally being decided in favor
of widening Townsend avenue, by the
close vote of to 3. 1t is understood that
the members of the board voting in favor
of the widening were Town Agent Clarity
and Selectmen Pohlman, Cunningham and
Forbes, while those voting in the negative
were Beeoher, Sternberg and Gilbert.

DEATH OF ISAAC ANDERSON.

An Old and Esteemed Citizen, for
Many Years One of Our Prominent
Business Men, Passes Away.
Mr.. isaac Anderson, for many years one
of our best known and leading business
men, died yesterday at his home, No. 4s
Mansfield street. He had been in poor
health for q year past, and for over q year
he had been blind. He was in the eightieth
year Of his age. The recent death of q.
W. Stow, who was so nearly related to him
and 90 closely identified with him in bust
ness matters for thirty years past, was q
great shock to him in his enfeebled state
and hastened his death. In Mr.. Ander-
sons death citizen is taken away whose
long life had been spent here, and who
for many years was potent factor in our
mercantile community. New Haven was
his birthplace. Here he grew up, and
when a young man he was part
ner ia the lumber business with
the late George Alling. Later he
established himself In business at
the foot of Chapel street, and conducted
for many years the New Haven steam saw
ILL oAo WSo Pt0SAoShs "a 1iAo SoAP"oy.
The concern did a very prosperous and
large business for many years, but in more
recent years reverses overlook 1t, but 1t Is
still in operation. Mr.. Anderson was in
his dsys Of activity man of fine presence
and address, good practical speaker, and
took part in various enterprises calculated
to benefit New Haven. He was, in his
prime, q man of indomitable energy and
great business capacity. He was one of
the leading members of Calvary Baptist
church and had been deacon of the church
for many years. He was liberal giver to
the poor and needy and benefaotor to the
church, especially in his dsys of prosperity.
He was twice married. His first wife was
Miss Alling, q sister of the late Geo.
and Thomas Alling, who were for so many
years prominent business men here. From
this marriage two children remain, Mrs.
Booth, wife of Theodore F. Booth of this
city, the New York lumber merchant, and
Mrs. Stow, widow of the late d. Webster
Stow. His second wife, to whom he was
married about thirty years ago, and who
survives, was Miss Stow, daughter of
Deacon Stow of the First Baptist church,
and sister of the late 81. W. Stow. From
this union there are three children, Clar
ence, aged about twenty, who is with Mr..
Booth in his New York business, Miss
Faith Anderson, aged fifteen, and Master
Harry Anderson, aged twelve.
