was overcome by the heat and dropped
down on the platform unconscious,

opposite side Of the street with Police
Surgeon Williams in it to attend to
emergencies. The surgeon dashed across
across the street and went to the side
of the governor.
The governor was stretched out on a
rough board and the surgeon applied
restoratives, while ex-President Harri-
son and the governors private secre-

MrmoR1An DAY IN BBANToRD.

Branford, May SO-Rarely, If ever,
has Gaylord's opera house presented
such an appearance as when the cur
| tain rose this evening for the enter
tainmenu given by the Woman's Re-
lief corps, as the closing features Of
Memorial day exercises. In the au-
dience was seated the blue blood Of this
historic town, men and women seldom
seen in a theater, except as patrons of
some noble charity. The ladies of Bran
ford seem to vie with one another in
caring for veteran soldiers and their
families Many of the old soldiers in
this town were among the first to enlist
and among the very last to leave the
battle fields of the south at the close of
the, war.
In the program tonight there was
very little in the way of eulogy, that
having been attended to at the decora-
tion services earlier in the day. The
object of the evening was to raise means
to prosecute their work of relief, and the
success in this direction must have
been highly gratifying. The committee
feared the financial result of q. labored
lecture OF lLe uTdWluB power VI d
studied essay, and so invited Captain
d. S. Thomas of your city to give his
bright and interesting paper on bal
looming For one hour and ten minutes
the reader held his audience 20 a still
ness that at times seemed almost pain
full Whether 1t was the strange Incl
dents presented Of his pleasing delivery,
he certainly had the closest attention
and at the close was greeted with dem
onstrations of applause seldom known
in this quiet country opera house.
The beautiful tableaux of the states
presented a scene which will long be
remembered, and which did credit to
the committee and to each and every
participant. Tt contained nearly 100
people, and must have drawn heavily
upon the large stock of young ladies'
and young misses of Branford. 1t oo-
cupied the entire stage of the theater,
and could have been made still more
effective with more room. 1t was a
lovely scene Of youth and beauty, so
fresh and bright as to call forth pro-
longed applause.
Among those present on the stage
during the reading were a number of |
Branfords most prominent citizens, |
also exLIayor Holconb Of New Haven,
himself an old Branford boy, and who 4
was most warmly greeted.

TERED the nations dead The funeral
train bearing the body of Walter c..
Gresham from the national capital
reached it's destination shortly after 2
o'clock this afternoon, and with civic
and military honors it was entombed in
a vault in Oakwood cemetery, there
to remain until a final burial place is
chosen.
Upon the arrival Of the train at
| WoodlaWn station the United States
troops, which were drawn up in parade
formation, presented arms, and the
drums gave forth the long roll followed
by bugle salute.
The body was taken from the train
by eight sergeants of the regular army,
and placed in hearse drawn by six
black horses. The procession moved
west to Greenwood avenue and then
south to the cemetery on Sixty-seventh
street.
AS the procession turned west on
Greenwood avenue light battery fired
salute of thirteen guns. On arriving
at the entrance to the cemetery the cor
tage was met by cavalry detachment
which was drawn UP at the left of the
entrance. The troops presented
sabers and the trumpeters sounded
salute, and the procession slowly moved
to the cemetery chapel where the casket
was taken from the hearse and the
party who accompanied it from Wash
ington were conducted to the chapel
The services were very simple and
brief There was q prayer by DR.. Nc
Pherson, who then read a scripture les
son. The choir of the Second Presby-
terian church sang Lead Kindly
Light" and with the benediction the re-
Hgious ceremonies came to an end.
The body was deposited in a crypt in
the chapel, there to remain until the
family decides where the final interment
will be.
AT the conclusion Of the commitment
services the cavalry buglers sounded
'taps," and the battery fired salute
of twenty-one guns in honor of the
president of the United States. This |
concluded the ceremonies.

Decoration Day F1ttfngly Observed at the
National Oemetarx.

| National Cemetery.
| Washington, May S0.-Decoratfon day
in all the great national cemeteries
which belt the capital and in which 50
many thousands of the Union dead are
buried, was commemorated by appro-
priate exercises. For the first time in
| several years the weather was clear.
The absence Of the president and his
cabinet, escorting the remains Of Com
rade Gresham to their resting place in
the west, deprived the day Of some Of
its expected features. Notable among
these was an address which Secretary
Herbert of the navy was to have deliv-
cred at st. Elizabeth's cemetery upon
the reunion of the Gray and the Blue.
The preliminary parade along Penn
sylvania avenue, headed by the local
Grand Army posts, with percepubly d.
minishing numbers year by year, and
followed by the regular cavalry from
Fort Meyer and artillery from WASH
'ington barracks, moved promptly on
time
Historic Arlington just across the Po-
.tonac, with its many Industrious graves,
was the hcief point of interest.
The services began with the decors-
ton of the tomb of the unISonwn dead.
under the direction Of the Woman's Re-
lief corps, Department of the Potomac.
The Marine band supplied the musical
part of the program and Department.
Commander Anderson conducted the ex-
ercises, which included addresses by
General Felix Agnus of Baltimore, and
Lieutenant Lucien Young, u. S. N, and
a poem by Win Carleton.
The program of exercises at the Com
gressional cemetery was more elaborate
than usual. General John A. Rawlins,
who was also secretary Of war from
March g. 1869, to September 10, 1869, lies
buried here. Special services were held
over his tomb.
The parade to the cemetery was led
by field musicians OF the Marine band
and followed in order by school children
of southeast Washington and an en-
oSns of Veterans.
The ceremonies st Rock Greek ceme-
terry. near the soldiers home, were
largely attended. The chief point of in
terest there is the tomb OF General Lo-
gan. This tomb was deliberately decor
ated by the ladies representing Illinois,
resident in Washington.
The services for Oak Hill and Holy
Road cemeteries were held conjointly at
the Holy Road cemetery. Oak Htll was
not forgotten, however, in the distrib-
ltion Of flowers, and many graves there
were decorated, notably those Of James
6. Blaine John Howard Paine. A local
Grand Army post conducted the cere-
monies.

! Head and Shoulders With a Club and
| She Was Rendered Lnsensible for Hours
! Stratford, May 30.ZThe residents OF
the town are greatly stirred up over
the savage assault that was committed
shortly after midnight this morning
upon Miss Elizabeth Lyon Lindsey, a.
spinster, fifty years of age, who has
Ebeen life long resident of the town,
by some unknown man. After retiring
Wednesday, might Miss Iandsley heard
footsteps in the hall of hen mansion
and she got out of bed to tnvesti-
gate. All the lights in the house ait
the time had been extinguished. Miss
Lindsey made her way out to the nall
Iway and as soon as She opened the
door of the front room Leading out in
the hallway she came face to face with
a man who wore a mask The stranger
grabbed Miss Lindsey by the arm
and told her to keep quiet. He threat
ened to kill her If she made an oyitcry.
She called to l1er'maid, who was asleep
in another part of the house, but as
she did SO the masked intruder raised
a club, which he had with him and
dealt Miss Lindsey hard blow with
1t over the top Of the head and over
the shoulders The aged lady fell baclu
ON the floor insensible.
The disturbance had aroused the
maid and she came down stairs to see
what was the matter She met the
Strange man In the hall, and she had
an encounter with him. The domestic
succeeded in wrestling herself away
from the fellow and she ran down stairs.
Thinking perhaps that she was going
to sound the alarm the ruffian escaped.
The maid, however, had been hiding
in a closet, and it was not until after
o'clock this morning that an alarm
was given. At about that hour the SER
want ventured out from her hiding place
and found Miss Lindsey lying insensI-
BILE ON the floor with blood flowing from
the wound ON her head. She rushed
out of doors and alarmed the neighbor-
hood.
DR.. Coggswell, a local physician, was
called and he dressed Miss Lindsleyas
injuries. The wound ON the top of her
head required six stitches to close it
up. 1t is feared that the lady's injuries
will prove serious There is no clue to
the assailant, who seemed to be some
what familiar with the place.
