OBITUARY.

Death of Jeremiah GO0dnough-An
 Old- Time Merchant In This City
 Formerly a Coal Dealer-Died at the
 Age of Eighty-seven.
 Jeremiah Goodnough. for many years 8 resident of this ciry, died Sunday morning at his home. Haven Junction, Brooklyn, N. r., of paralysis. MT. Goodnough suf- fered paralytic stroke on New Years day which deprived him of the use of both limbs on his right side. Great anxiety was felt for him at the time, but in few days he showed considerable improvement and fears gave way to hopes of his ulti- mate recovery. However, after hard fought struggle for two weeks with his spasmodic illness, the disadvantages of age caused him to succumb.
 MT. Goodnough was eighty-seven years of age and came to this city early in his career from Massachusetts. He was for a long time engaged in the meat business on Church street opposite where the postofice now stands, and for Q long time had the contract for furnishing the Tontine hotel, which was at that time the gilt-edge host elry of the town.
 Aoout seventeen years ago ne retired from business, but in 6 short time he re- entered the field of commercial activity as 8 coal merchant. He finally retired in 1880. When Eld street was opened he took up his residence there, intending to settle down to enjoy the fruits of his many years of energetic endeavor, but at the so- heitation of his wife he removed, in 1889, to Brooklyn, N. Y., where he has since re- sided.
 His wife, who has been for several weeks very i'll with the grip, is greatly shocked by the sndden misfortune, and grave fears are entertained by the relative and friends of the family regarding her. She is now in very critical condition.
 MT. Goodnough was very we'll known in New Haven, and during his long residence in New Haven and during his long resi- dence here had made many friends by his kindness of;heart, his affsbility and his general many good qualities. The remains will be conveyed to this city from Brook lyn this morning and in the afternoon funeral services will be held st the resi- dence of his nephew, MT, 0. G. Ames, at 219 Grand avenue. Rev. Dr. Wilbur G. Williams of the First Methodist church will ofioiate. The interment will be made in Evergreen cemetery.

wIrsrED SMALLPOX CASES.

A Visit to the Section Yesterday by pr. Lindsley of This City, Secretary
 of the state Board of Health Prompt and Kmcient Work Has
 Been Done In she Case-What Score.
 tary Lindsley Says.
 The secretary of the state board of health visited winsted yesterday ct the re- quest of the health authorities, to confer with them in regard to the control of the outbreak of smallpox in that place.
 Dr. Lindsley was interviewed by a COURIER reporter last evening. He said as followe: It has not been satisfactorily ascertained how the disease was brought into the place. The first case occurred in family in which four children were i'll with what was at the time thought to be chicken pox. At the end of about two weeks, however. ether persons were taken i'll more severely and soon showed unmis- takable evidence of smallpox. The con- clusion was that the supposed chicken pox was in fact varioloid. AS no restrictions had been put upon intercourse with this family, there had been opportunity for wids diffusion of the infection.
 In these latter times smallpox is 50 in- frequently seen in Connecticut that many doctors of considerable experience have never met with 1t. It is, therefore, not at all remarkable that 1t should have been mistaken for disease which at certain stage of eruption very closely resem- bles it.
 There have been fifteen cases in the town, all in the borough of Winsted. As yet only two have proved fatal.
 As soon as the true character of the dis ease was recognized the health officer of the borough, who is also the chief of po- lice, and Dr. Hubert, health officer of the town, took energetic action to control it's spread. Dr. Goodwin of Thomaston, member of the state board of health. visited the place promptly, and in behalf of the board gave such advice as was needed. The board of selectmen immediately authorized a free vaccination for all. They have employed Dr. E L. Pratt to take full medical charge of all patients. The public schools have been closed. Quarantine is maintaine ed over all infected houses. Disinfection is thoroughly practiced in accordance with the most approved methods. A hospital has been provided to which some of the patients have been removed. And every thing is being done that can be to prevent its further spread. There is no doubt that euch we'll directed effort will hs succee eful

The Late William Townsend.

The late William Townsend of DIxwell avenue, whose death was mentioned yes terdsy, left a handsome property. His father was large land owner, possessing large share of the present Ninth ward. A section of about twenty acres of this land was inherited by the son, who at one time owned very large tract of land above Henry street. This saDas land to-day is the site of numerous residences, stores and shops. Most of it was sold long years ago when building lots were cheap, but at even the low prices MT. Townsend realized a large sum. But the property to-day would aggregate several good sized fortunes in it's
 valuation. He was regarded as very shrewd business man and being careful and saving and good investor, he accu-
 mulated handsome competence.
 Mr. Townsend at the tins of his death had sold most of his land, but retained a number of tenements, the renting of which
 had been his chief business for several years. In fact, the selling of his building
 lots and the renting of houses has been nearly all of his business for many years, although early in life he was joiner. His wife died many years ago and since that time housekeepsr has cared for his house and looked after the old gentleman He leaves two sons-Wm. N. Townsend of
 the firm of Bates & Townsend, and Chas. T. Townsend, the carriage body msnufa &C., turer on Wooster street. The late Alonzc A. Townsend the coal dealer, was nephew of the deceased.

 TheIs was a very brief hearing before the county commissioners yesterday morn ing on the remonstrance to the granting George Frank a license to sell liquor at the Germanis house, 5S Union street. G.

He will put in his case on January 24
 The law and order people are critic!zing the action of the county commissioners in granting MT.
