LAID AT REST.

The Funeral of Judge E. I. Sanford d
 Yesterday-A Large Attendance of
 Disting uished Citizens Pay Honor
 to the Deceased.
 The late residence of Judge E I. San ford on Chapel street was filled to over- flowing with sorrowing friends at the funeral of the deceased yesterday after noon. The scene was one deeply impres sive. Here were gathered many honored men of note of this city, and the number was very large indeed for the season of the year, when so many townsmen are away. The New Haven County bar was largely represented. That no common loss had been sustained was evident to the most casual observer, and it was indeed fitting that so general and marked tribute should be paid the memory of one who all his life long had been a citizen eminently worthy of respect and honor.
 Ths servlcee were of the simplest nature and were conducted by Rev. Dr. Anderson of Waterbury and the Rev. .-Dr. Harwood of Trinity P. E. church. Judge Sanford had been for many years a worshipper at Center church, and his funeral would have been attended by Rev. Dr. Smyth
 
 man is away on his vacation. In Dr. Smyths absence the religious services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Anderson of Waterbury. Hon. James M. Townsend was master of ceremonies.
 The services were prefaced with an ap- propriate hymn rendered by the quartette from the Center church, which sang 8 geo. ond time during the impressive ceremon- les. Rev. Dr. Anderson then read several passages of scripture and offered prayer.
 A large number of floral gifts gave their silent evidence in testimony to the love and respect in which the deceased was held. On the casket were placed flowers from the family and flowers from friends and associates were arranged about the room.
 The mantlepiece WAS banked with ferns and pink and white roses from MT. and Mrs. Morgan. The others were as follows: Yellow roses from Hiram lodge and Dr. Leonard J. Sanford, sweet peas from Mrs. Frederick Lyon, pansies from Mrs. Ban croft, roses from Mrs. Abram Sanford, pink roses from Mrs. GriHing, roses from Mrs. George Stevens, pinks from Sanford Hotchkiss, pinks and palms from Mrs.
 There were large number of floral offer ings resting upon the casket or placed near by. The facs of the deceased looked peaceful and natural, and many persons took last look at the familiar features of the dead. The honorary bearers were: Messrs. Horace Day, Henry T. Blake, Eli Whitney, Tilton E. Doolittle, Henry D. White, Wilbur F. Day, ex-Chief Justice Park of Norwich and Judge Loomis. The interment was in the Grove street ceme- tery.

Opposed to Liquor Selling at This
 Charming Spot by the Sea-A Nota-
 b1e Hearing Yesterday Before the
 County Commissioner - Decision
 Reserved-senator Hawley Express
 es His Views in the Case-A Lively
 Contest.
 A hearing on the granting of license to Edwin E.

At the last hearing Sanford was refused hearing by vote of to l. Hiram Jacobs, A. B. Dunhsm and James Reynolds then formed the board. When the new commissioner, John | L.

 sire to protest against the granting of {
 license to Edwin E. Sanford to sell spirit
 uous and intoxicating liquors at Merwin,
 Point, Woodmont, in the town of Mil
 ford, on the ground that such licens
 would decrease the value of property ant
 defeat to great extent the object 10
 which it was purchased, viz: To obtain | quiet and safe home for the family. This Is evidenced by the fact that one o
 the inducements held out to purchaser
 was the promise that every deed of land Il
 the vicinity should contain a clause for
 ever prohibiting the sale of liquor on th
 premises. Signed, - These were returned by great man people and were read by Attorney Clesve land The following also was submitte

We have had three thunder showers this
week up to Thursday morning. We think
the professor was right who predicted an
usual electrical disturbances this season on
account of so many spots ON the sun. We
wonder if there were ever known to be as
many in the same length of time and if
any one has kept the count.
A thunder shower came up Sunday noon
accompanied by hail, doing considerable
damage, but it struck in narrow vein
some half mile in width going diagonally
from west to east. As it happened the
large pieces of tobacco were not in the
limit and escaped entirely. The hail could
have been scraped up by the bushel after
the shower.

A second cyclone visited our town Satm-
day afternoon, by far eclpsing the power
of that on the 10Th. 1t did damage to the
merry -go-round, which received the full
force of the wind, to the amount of $50
or more. 1t blew down both tents, split
the main tent, derailed the machine, broke
a number of fixtures, and the organ barely
escaped complete destruction by the falling
of the large tent pole. A number of trees
and branches were blown down in various
parts of the town. The rain which imme-
diately followed was very acceptable-to
those who have gardens, and to those who
had their umbrellas with them.
President Bumstead of Atlanta, Ga.

sty. A vague idea of the organization can
be obtained when it is understood that
there are in attendance POO boarders, and
300 day students. 1t is a colOred school,
but nevertheless demands the attention of
all because of its great success. As the
speaker said 1.-THE North allowed them
to be in slavery 200 years, then she should
now be willing to restore them to a higher
intellectual life.'

WESTMINSTER WEST.


In the death of Edward b. Hall the
community has lost another of its best
known and most valued citizens. In the
early part of the winter he had a fall from
an apple tree, while engaged in trimming
his orchard 1t is believed that he suffer
ed an injury at that time which eventually
resulted in an effusion of blood upon the
brain. He became seriously i'll in May
and gradually declined, until his death on
July 10. He lived for time upon the
farm now owned by viii Durham, but
eventually bought his fathers farm just
west of the village where he had lived
for many years. He married Miss Ellen
N. Buxton, who died suddenly of apoplexy
about four years ago. He leaves two sons
Herbert E. Hall of Springfield, Mass,
and Willis II. Hall of Cambridge, Mass
They were both able to be with their ia
Their much of the time during his illness.
There is no one of the family TO take the
farm, and it will doubtless pass into other
hands in due time. The community and
the church can i'll afford to loss so many of
their ablest members, with few or none to
fill their places, but such is the way the
tide rapidly runs.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.


The electric railroad is at present dead,
so to speak All work has been suspended
and the outlook now is not promising for
a year at least. 1t is even possible that
then nothing will be done towards accom-
plishing the desired end. The stoppage is,
perhaps enormously, attributed to the finan-
cial situation, together with the death of
the president of the company. But if the
electric railroad plan should not be carried
out, Bellows Falls has reached its limit in
size. 1t is well known that there is.now
but little land i'm the village available for
building, and that little is held at such high
figures that only the rich can buy it.
Therefore, the only alternative, if Bellows
Falls would grow, is to embrace the outly-
ing territory which would necessarily have
to be reached by cable or horse cars or cleo
trio railroad. BY such an arrangement,
workngmen could buy land at reasonable
rates, and yet could reach their places of
employment here in time for their morning
work. There is as yet room for number
of mills along the river and near the rail
road. Strange, indeed, it is to think that
such project should fall through because
the first leader has died. Is there not in
Bellows Falls man who can see the great
need of this undertaking, and is willing TO
enter into the spirit of it and carry it
through? Surely Bellows Falls has num-
Der of such men, and will not one of them
come forward and fill the now vacant po-
sition?

VIM. b. Taylor, colored, was executed
by electricity yesterday at the Auburn, n.
Y, state prison for murder committed a
year ago. The execution was marked by
a horrible feature, the first shock not prov
ing fatal, simply throwing him into a COM
atose state, from which he began to recov-
er. The apparatus failed to respond to a
second touch of the lever and it was found
that the dynamo was broken. Repairs
were made and nearly an hour later Taylor
was again placed in the chair and his exc
cution completed. Taylor's relatives live
at Woodstock and he was formerly coach
man for the futile family of Rutland. He
killed guard in the prison who had re-
vealed the plot of prisoners to escape.

Worthngton's illustrated magazine for
August opens with the second of the in
teresting papers entitled. Random notes
on Hawaiian life, written by c. T. Rodg-
ers, NJ. D., prominent physician, now
and for many years a resident of Honolu-
lu. The article treats of the native feasts:
of Honoulu's picturesque mountain back
ground; of beautiful Waikiki. "the Long
Branch of Honolulu" of the fern and
shell and wild animal hunting of Hawaiian
youths, and furnishes a very graphic ac-
count of life and work upon the great SUI
gar plantations, from the planting of the
cane to the graduating of the sugar The
illustrations from special photographs are
noticeable for their beauty and artistic re-
production. In the same number Mrs.
Livermore's eighth paper OF personal ex-
perience, "In 'Ole Nirginny'-fft years
ago" is, like all the others, vivid in its
portrayal Of family life upon remote
plantation. From first to last this record
is full of interest and will amply repay the
reading of old and young in all classes of
society.
