Mr.. Wesdlck's death was very sudden.
Wednesday afternoon he was sitting on
his doorstep. Otto Dieter, the grocer,
passed and Weadick hailed him.
Just as he spoke to Mr.. Deter the stroke
came and he was rendered speechless. He
just gaspsd "OhI Ottol" and sank in the
chair. Mr.. DETER ran to his assistance
and saved him from falling to the side
walk. Mr.. Wesdick's cousin, Thomas
Gallagher, who resides In the same house,
rushed out, and with the assistance of Mr..
Deter and a clerk from neighboring
store, Mr.. Weadick was carried into the
house. DR.. Cremin was telephoned for
and arrived in ten minutss, bat Mr.. Wea-
dick was dead before that time. The cause
of death WAS hemorrhsge of the brain
due to spoplexy.
Mr.. Weadick had been troubled with
heart disease for some time and had been
under physicisnsi care. Last February
while In Jacksonville, Fla, he was stricken
in the same manner as Wednesday. He
recovered and appeared to be very well
just before the fatal stroke.
Mr.. Weadlock was ffty-two years old.
He was born In Ireland and was twenty
four years in New Haven the day he died.
He conducted wholesale and retail liquor
business at the corner of Bridge and East
streets.

nine years ago, leaving an infant daugh-
ter, Sadie, who is now ten years old. Mrs.

OWNERS VS.. sELEormEN.

Ninth Ward Real Estate owners
Want the Town to Purchase Their
Land in the Beaver Ponds Distriet-
They State Their Grievances In a
Communication to the Town
Fathers-May Resort to Legal Pro.
ceedings - Seleetmen Say That tho
Prices Asked Arc Exorbitant.
Owners of real estate in the Ninth ward,
above Monson street, and the members of
the board of selectmen are at loggerheads
over the question of the purchase of land
in the Beaver ponds district. Some time
ago the property owners sent to the select
men estimates on their land which they
thought were to be purchased for park
purposes. These estimates, in the opinion
of the selectmen, were exorbitant, and in
consequence no action was taken on the
matter.
Yesterday, however, the following noti-
fcation was sent to the selectmen from w.
a. H. Hewitt, E. M. Clark, Fred A. Os-
communication read as follows:
To the Selectmen of the Town of New
Haven:
At the annual town meeting held in De-
cember, 1898, the selectmen were directed
to 60 on with the purchase or oondemna.
ton of land in the Beaver ponds district,
pursuant to the contract made by the town
with the New Haven park commission
under the vote of the town meeting of
September IS, 1890, and $12. 900 were
specially appropriated for the purpose.
We desire to call your attention to the
| fact that we have heretofore eeverally of.
| fered to sell tracts of land within the
boundaries named in said vote at prices
| specified in our several offers. As We have
| received no reply to said offers we respect
| fully request that some action may bs
taken forthwith toward carrying out said
| town vote of December. 1898, that we may
know how to act regarding the disposition
of said lands. Said vote has made oul
lands unstable to other parties and it can
not be expected that our offers will remain
| open indefinitely.
| This notification was received at thu
town agents Office yesterday. During the
afternoon Selectmen Pohlmsn, Gilbert ant
Stahl entered the Office and each one reae
the paper from the property owners. Aftel
the trio had read the communication Sc
lsctman Pohlman said: SWELL, this II
becoming decidedly Interesting. Th'
truth of the matter and the cause OF thu
delay Is that the prices offered t.
US by the owners are entirely too high
The tracts have been examined by apprais
ers in the interests of the town, and thu
figures of the property owners are greatly
in excess of those of the appraisers" l
was also stated that some of the land own
ers were estimating the value of their iant
at 80 much a foot instead of by the acre al
formerly.
The property owners say that they can
not sell their land, in consequence of thu
town vote, to other parties than the tow
and that 1t would be useless to make any
elaborate improvements and that they hav'
heard nothing from the selectmen ss t
whether or not they intend to purchase thu
property. Unless some decided action Il
taken on the matter Immediately the prop
erty owners will resort to law In order t.
secure what they claim are their rights
The entire question will be thoroughly dis
cussed at the next meeting of the board O.
