ISAAC N. PRIOR.

His Death in Washington, D. O., Last
 Monday-For Many Years an Active
 Business Man of New Haven-For
 Years wholesale Grocer in Hart-
 ford-Was . Bank Director There
 ana Here.
 Last Monday, the 18th, there was sim pie funeral at little house on O street, in Washington, D. O., where, on Friday, the 18th, had quietly passed away an old man who was for many years an active citizen of New Haven-Issae N. Prior. He was born in North6eld, Mass., on the 4th of December, 1s06. In 1891 he en- tered the wholesale grocery business in Hartford-frst in the store of Edward Watkinson. and then in the company of Averill & Prior. He was a director of the Phoenix bank there in the years 1s35-e. On the eve of the financial crash of 1887 he settled in New Haven, where he re-
 mained until 1853, and where he married
 Sarah A. Erglish,> daughter of
 Captain Isaac English, and cousin
 of Hon. James E. English.
 She, with two unmarried daughters, sur
 wives him in Washington. When he came
 to New Haven he engaged in foundry busi.
 ness in company of Cyprian Willcox. He
 was here director of the old New Haven
 bank in 1842 3. At the extra session of
 the legislature in 1886 he was appointed
 one of c committee of three to investigate
 the City bank of New Haven, of which the
 elder Charles Atwater was president and
 Stephen D. Pardee cashier. The report made by this committee caused the repeal of the banks charter by the legislature
 or, rather, the repeal was passed and ve. toed by Governor Edwards, and the veto
 was sustained through one vote In Hart
 ford MT; Prior had become g friend of [. [
 P. Waldo, of the old firm of Waldo, Hyde & Hubbard, and when Judge Waldo became commissioner of pensions, MT Prior followed him to Washington and en. tered the pension ofice-then engaged in little but the issue of bounty land warrants and employing but twelve clerks. He was chief of the finance division of the office for some years after the rebellion, until his advancing age and the magnitude of itf business called for younger hand. His
 service there began in 1858, and at the end of thirty-six years, during which the changes of politics were powerless to dis turb so faithful a servant of the govern ment, he had been absent from his desk but four and half months on account ct sickness either of himself or family; and during these thirty six years he had worked outside of the usual hours enough
 to make six and half years of office time His faithfulness was like this in all othel respects. After forty. one years of sucl service, and while in his eighty-eightl year, he went to work so late as February 1894. So he toiled, without hope of dis | tinction or of any greater reward than plain living, humbly serving the govern
 ment at the capital and honoring the stat l which sent him there, and the simpl 1 record of his service tells his character.

DYING OF SMALLPOX.

 Samuel micksns Lying at the Point
 of Death at the Pest House-was
 Extremely Violent Yesterday -
 Reeves Slowly Improving.
 Samuel z ickens, the colorsd man who has been i'll with smallpox at the pest house, was reported last night as being much worse and 1t was not expected that he would live through the night. The au- thorities at the pest house said his recovery Is impossible and his death but question of few hours.
 Micksns was taken to the pest house last week suffering from the dread disease, after he had been turned out of 16 Union street and had wandered about the city and through the police building to the office of the board of health. from whence he was sent to the pest house by Health Off, cer Wright.
 Since he arrived at the pest house he has bsen having violent and prolonged spasms l and has been rapidly growing worse. Yes. tsfdsy was the most violent day for the | patient and tho attendants were compelled to strap him to his'bed. So violent wsa his spasm yesterday that he was completely worn out and had not sufficient strength left to move. He has been violent many times since he was taken to the pest honse but yesterday was the worst day he passed there. His condition all along has beer serious. but yesterday all hopes of his re covsry were given up and his death is al | most momentarily expected.
 | It is believed that Mickens contracted
 the dread scourge from W. D. Reeves,
 fellow lodger at 1G Union street. Reeve,
 was taken to the pest house uffsring iron
 the disease prior to Miekens showing an!
 symptoms of smallpox. Reeves is nov
 slowly recovering. while Mickeps is rep
 idly dying. Reeves will be practically vel
 in few dave, but will be detained at thu

 WILL REPAIR THE MONUMENT. Hut Later the selectmen May Decide
 to Remove It From East Rock.
 Tho soldiers' monument ct East Rock park will be repaired in season for the Memorial day exercises, but afteR that date there is Q possibility that the monument may be removed from its present site and be located elsewhere. If this action is de- cided upon 1t will be in conseq uencs of the lonR-drawn-out controversy as to the ownership of tho monument by the city or town.
 Selectman Gilbert was asked yesterday in reference to the controversy and stated that there had already been trouble enough about this monument, and the seleetmen were determined to put an end to this monument this time in season for Memorial day, but If we have any moro trouble over 1t on the question of repairs we may re- move 1t from the rock, he said. s'It has been claimed that the monument is town property and that we have the right to do with 1t e we please. I, for one, am tired of this perpetual squabbls."
 Town Agent Gsrrity, who was present at the conversation, practically confirmed the statement of Selectman Gilbert. It ia not generally believed, however, that any such radical steps will bs taken in the msttss.
