 DIED IN BRIDGEPORT.
 The death of Michael s. Sheridan of | Bridgeport, which occurred Monday even ing at the Soldiers home in Noroton, was ! not unexpected as he had been hopelessly l failing for months from kidney disease I complicated with other ailments. His age was forty five, and he leaves wife and number of grown children. MT. Sheridan was well known to the Bridgeport public, |
  ing the land records of the town. For years his execution of successive contracts of this kind constituted his main occupa- tion, although meanwhile he did more or less clerical work for private parties. He was an expert penman and accountant, very painstaking in his methods, and his work in the town clerks office is model in it's way. His impetuous temperament involv- ed him in controversies with many public men and others with whom he had rela tions, and finally he lost favor with both political parties. Nominally he was dem ocrat, but strictly independent one, as he was wont to describe himself with consid- | erable heat when anyone questioned his ! party loyalty.
 For 8 time the deceased held the position of editorial writer on the Evening Post. He served in the Union ranks during the war and made highly creditable record. He was fluent of pen and speech and de spite his psppery disposition had kindly nature and many good qualities which were best appreciated by those who best knew him.

 DIR. PULFoRD's HOPES,
 | ANsoN1A, July 11.-Lawyer Williams
 will defend Dr. Pulford in the Nesbit case.
 It is said one important link is missing. It
 was expected that an antemortem state,
 ment from Miss Nesbit would be intro- duced, but this appears to be lacking, and
 1t ia learned that there Is no such docu ment in existence. The young woman
 made statement to Medical Examine, , Conkling, but it cannot be used as an ante , mortem statement, as she absolutely re , fused to say that she thought she wal about to die, and this destroys it's value Dr. Pulford's attorneys expected mucl , | stronger evidence.
