DEATH OF CHARLES O,NEIL,
For a Long Period One of the Most NoteG
 Matchmaker of This City.

For a Long Period One of the Most Noted
 Matchmaker of This City. /
 Charles O'Neil, a watchmaker and watch repairer in this city for sixty years, and also was one 6f bhe oldest men in New Haven, died at the New Haven hospital yesterday morning of bronchial pneumonia, aged ninety-five. He is well remembered by the public as bright, cheery, genial old gentle man, active in body and mind almost to the last. He was widely known to the older Yale graduates all over the United States. For thirty or forty years his place of business was on Chapel street, a few doors east of the New Haven house. He was an expert in his line and did flourishing business until in advanced old age his eyesight began to fail. He had the patronage of not only very many Yale students but of Yale professors and townspeople as well. He was man of pleasant and dignified appearance, tall and slender, and was very quiet, yet sociable man. He had resided in New Haven since the opening of the war Of 1872. Until recently he had lived with his son, John H. O'Neil of Lincoln street. He was removed to the hospital in order that he might receive the skilled care of leading medical experts. He was one of the oldest members of Trinity Episcopal church.

Shocking Cruelty to a Cow.

Hartford, Aug. 9.-Agent Thrall, of the Humane society, unearthed a case of shocking cruelty In New Britain yes- terday. A COW belonging to John Nolan of Lilac street dislocated its hip about three weeks ago while jumping fence. The bone was put back in its place, but was thrown out shortly afterwards. The COW was then given into the GUS tody of Michael McNamara, who turn ed it out into his pasture about three weeks ago, and has kept 1t there ever since, to the intense indignation of the neighbors, who finally made a com plaint to the Humane society's agent in this city. He visited the place yes terday morning and found a terrible state of affairs. The COW was unable to move more than few feet at time and then only with the greatest suffer ing. It had wasted away to a mere skeleton, and the hide could be taken up in handfuls all over the body. Fur. ther investigation brought to light the fact that the milk of the COW, full of disease, had been used by the family constantly e
 Constable w. J. Rawlings, the acting agent of the society, sent word to Agent Thrall, who sent out a deputy to order the animal killed. It has not yet been decided whether McNamara will be prosecuted.

The Late Colonel Bartlett.

The late Colonel W. H. Bartlett of Portland, who died Wednesday, had been town clerk of Portland for thirty years. He was in his eightieth year. Colonel Bartlett was native of Port land and always lived there. At the age of twenty-one years he was elected a selectman, and from that time till his death he had held almost every town office and had represented Portland in the general assembly at different ses- sions. He was familiar figure on Portland's streets, and having a very retentive memory he was often called upon to decide disputed incidents of many years ago. He was competent, efficient and faithful in the discharge of all duties and gave special satisfac- faction as town clerk as he seemed to possess a thorough knowledge of al- most every piece of land in the town. To those searching the records he was of great assistance.
 Colonel Bartlett was of kindly dis position and possessed the faculty of not only making friends but of keeping them. He was a member of the old state militia, where he earned the title of colonel. In politics he was a republi- can. being one of the organizers of the party in this state. He, however, had friends and supporters in both parties. He was for many years a member of the First Congregational church. His wife and one daughter survive him. Since 1859 Colonel Bartlett had en- gagged in farming. Early in life he was connected with the grocery business, in | which he was very successful.
