THE LATE JOHN p. rUTrLR.

Remarks by DR.. HARDWOOD Yesterday
-Trinfty's Other Losses By, Death
In the Past Year-The Funeral OF
mr.. Tuttle To-day.
At Trinity church yesterday morning
the rector, Rev. DR.. HARDWOOD, during the
service In speaking of the great loss the
parish had sustained in consequence OF
the death of Its senior warden, John P.
futile, called attention to the fact that
Trinity church had been seriously sfioted
by losses through death during the year
last past. He named quite q list of men
well known in the church and In the COM
munity who had passed on to the great
unknown during that period. He stated
that Trinity church had lost within q
period of from twelve to fifteen months,
Mr.. James N. Mason, Dr.. John B. Robert
son, Professor W. P. Frowbride, Mr..
Charles P. Wurts, Mr.. Elihu Nix, and
now Mr.. John P. futile, who fer long
time had been devoted to the church with
great affection and usefulness. The rev
erend doctor also said referring to Mr.
DeForesD that gentleman, formerly q
valued member OF the church, was now
lying dead in New York and exhorted his
hearers to lay to heart the lessons to be
learned from the deaths Of these men and
to emulate the examples set by them and
become fitted to fill the places left vacant
by their decease.
At meeting of the vestry of the church
held in the parish building Saturday even
ing committee was appointed to prepare
suitable memorial on the death of its
senior warden and George A Butler, presi-
dent of the Tradesmen's bank, was elected
treasurer pro tenn to fill the vacancy. No
one was elected to fill the vacancy of senior
warden nor Ia 1t probable that meeting OF
the parish will soon be called to elect Mr..
Tuttle's successor. The deceased had been
q member of the vestry of the church since
about 1855 and senior warden for the past
fifteen or sixteen years and was at all times
very much interested in the affairs of the
church.
The arrangements for the funeral have
bsen completed. Services will be held al
Trinity church tomorrow afternoon which
will be conducted by Rev. DR.. Harwood
and the assistant rectors of the church.
The interment will be in Evergreen ceme-

WILL SUSPEND BUSINESS.
The Bridgeport Aluminium and Bras
Comnany To Sell Its PIa Mt

The Bridgeport Aluminium and Bras.
Company to Sell Its Plant.
BRIDGEPORT, May est is understood
that the Aluminium Brass and Bronze COM
pany which started in this city a few
years ago under favorable circumstances
will suspend business and sell its plant on
June 1. The company started In with
good prospects and q plant that was con-
sidered one of the finest in the ooun-
try. 1t had good financial backing,
was well managed, and was pre-
pared to do a large business. For
some time the company had plenty of
work and employed about 200 men, but
later drop in the brass market and cut
in prices injured the business greatly. Ia
order to secure contracts the company was
forced to sell at ruinous prices, and al
though it had plenty to do no money was
made. A week ago 100 men were laid off
and since then few have been discharged
daily. The strain on the concerns finances
has been very great, and the managers
have finally decided to give up the strug-
gle. The plant is mortgaged for $500, 900,
nearly all 1t is worth, bat enough will
probably be realized from the sale of the
property to pay other obligations of the
company. Its exact liabilities, however,
are not known. 1t is reported that one of
the large brass companies of Waterbury
have under consideration the purchase of
the plant and may continue to operate the
business. Several Waterbury gentlemen
interested in brass manufactures will be
heavy losers by the failure of the company
in this city.
WATERBURY, May est was reported
here last evening that companies in this
city would be affected by the financial
difficulties of the Aluminium Brass an d
Bronze company of Bridgeport, and that
several companies here were also slightly
embarrassed by poor business. The head
of the various companies seen, however,
deny that business is very dull, and say
that their concerns are not affected in the
least. An investigation proves that rumors
concerning the companies here are without
the slightest foundation. All of them are
in prosperous condition and doing good
business.
