Charles ii. Bradley. Detected owing to
Loss of Work, Ended All With a Bullet
A Contractor at Wholesalers for Twenty
Years-Death Was Not Immediate After
the Shot.
Charles Henry Bradley committed
suicide yesterday forenoon at his resi-
dence, rs Henry street, by shooting
himself in the head with a revolver
Mr.. Bradley had been until recently
employed at the Winchester factory
where he had been q contractor for
nearly twenty years in the printing de-
partment. ..I..
For some. time he had been out of
work. and it is thought that it was the
dependency caused by this that led
him to commit the rash act. He was
of a nervous temperament, prone to
melancholy, and had suffered much
from nervous prostration since he be-
came idle.
| Mrs. Bradley arose about o'clock
| yesterday morning, and after tending
to morning work about the house re-
| turned to the bedroom shortly before 8
o'clock to call her husband. She re-
! ceived no response after calling him,
and she then went to the bathroom,
thinking she might find him there.
AS she opened the bathroom door a
terrible sight met her gaze. There,
stretched at full length on the floor,
she saw her husband lying with the
blood pouring from a ragged hole in
the right temple.
| She ran screaming into the hall and
the occupants of the lower floor, hear
ing the connection, rushed upstairs.
Mrs Bradley was taken in fainting
condition to her room and the cause
of her fright was soon discovered by
the neighbors, who had gone to inves-
tigate.
DR.. Hotchkiss, whose office is near
by, was hastily sent for, and he sum
moned Coroner Mix and Medical Elk
aminer White. They found that life
was not extinct, and Bradley was re-
moved to the bedroom, where efforts
were made to revive him. They were,
however, unavailing and the unfortu-
nate man expired early in the after
noon.
The deed was evidently premeditated,
as is evidenced by the fact that Brad
| ley never owned revolver, and the
one with which he shot himself must
have been procured for the purpose.
| Mr. Bradley was a brother of George
and James Bradley, both of New Ha-
ven He was forty-seven years old,
and had one child, a grown daughter,
who is married.

PRISCILLA

A Delightful Coming Entertainment at
the Hyperion Under the Seamen's
Friend Society's Auspices.
AS the interest in the new opera to
be given in this city begins to widen
and it's merits discussed by music low
ers generally, not few congratulatory
messages are being received by the
promoters of the enterprise. From
Hartford Bridgeport and from New
Haven spectators of it's presentation
elsewhere, come most gratifying re-
ports, while the Boston and New York
papers accord Priscilla a place
among the Every best additions to light
opera of the day." The story Of the
founders of New England, of their ire
mendous struggles in the cause of right
is an austere one in the conventional
garb of United States history. 1t is
difficult to believe that there are not
some bright flashes on that sober
page. The Pilgrims were but human,
and it is not to be thought of that
there were not merry mischievous sons
and daughters in 1920 nor village wags,
nor scapegoats, nor many other evil
dences of the human side of existence
In proof of this LongfeiloW has given
us the story Of the proxy Wooing of
priscilla Mullins, one of the daintiest
little love tales ever embalmeG in liter
allure Semi-historical novels have been
based on the pretty theme but it does
not seem to have occurred to any one
until recently that Puritan life and
traditions are capable of a good natur-
ed and humorous operate treatment.
Yet when once the suggestion is made
it dawns upon all what an exquisite
travesty may be made Of Longfellow's
verses. The opera priscilla" illus
trates the delicate, masterful treat
ment of theme that might easily be
oyerdone 1t is burlesGue without
shadow of coarseness, but wanting in
all that is best TO keep an audience in
a Jolly good humor. The work is the

nary talents of the director have added

Of the work of securing talent is in its
anxiety to secure the best, proceeding
with great deliberation and the work
involves the utmost caution and dis
elimination. As there is no end of a
Jolly time anticipated in rehearsals,
many are the aspirants to join that
goodly company of nineteenth century
Pilgrims, to say nothing of the laud-
able desire to aid a good cause and to
be identified with a work of such oper-
attic merit However, there must be

nate indeed are those eligible to men,

TIfE RAILROADS..

The last annual report of the Con-
solldated road showed that it had ac-
CURED by exchange of it's own shares
all but 1890 shares of the Shore Line
Railroad company. 1t has since bought
in all but about 2S5 shares, held, it is
said, by eight owners. Soon they will
be obtained and the Shore Line prop
erty be merged with the Consolidated
and the separate cooperative existence
of the Shore Line cease. 1t Is under
stood that all but few hundred shares
of the New Haven and Northampton
and Of the New Haven and Derby have
also been acquired, and those proper
ties must soon be merged also
The Consolidated road holds by eX-
change a large mapority of the Housa-
tonic and Danbury and Norwalk roads,
but the merger in the case of those
corporations Is much more remote, while
the constant new issues of Old Colony
railroad stock for improvements indl-
cate that merger with that company
is either abandoned on treated as a
matter to be long deferred. The Der
by, Shore Line and Northampton rail-
road properties represented before the
exchanges $3,907, 900 of capital stock at
par, for which somewhat more than
81, 100000 of Consolidated stock at par
has been exchanged. In some recent
cases, it is authoritatively stated, Old
Colony stock has been given by the
Consolidated company in the exchange
or at least offered. The roads already
fully merged with the Consolidated are
the Stonington, Connecticut Valley and
Stamford and New Canaan, for which
$5,900,000 of Consolidated stock at par
has been issued, the total issues for
all roads wholly or partly merged, be-
ing now about SIS, 100000 at par, or al
most exactly the sum at which the Con-
solidated capital stock stood for many
years before it's active policy of ac-
quiring new roads began five or six
years ago. Nearly all the acquired
roads have been dividend-payers.
AS Consolidated and Old Colony
stock are now both quoted at about IFS,
the shareholders of the latter company
who did not make the exchange at the
time of the lease-when nine shares of
Consolidated We're offered for ten
shares of Old Colony-have reason to
congratulate themselves, as they are
receiving about the same guaranteed
dividend as they would be receiving
without any guarantee had they made
the exchange. About two-thirds of the
original Old Colony share-oWners rer
fused to exchange
The progress of consolidation of the
Consolidated's adjunct lines is sure to
renew discussion of a change of the cor
porations prolix and clumsy title, THE
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company" Among the Con-
solidated's officers the simple title New
England Southern has been considered
most favorably as a new name.

Well Known in This City-Ex-Paymas-
ter of the Consolidated Road-A De-
voted Student of History-Passed

MIA
William H. Allen, who had been suf-
fering for the past few days with
pneumonia, died in New York yester-
day morning. Mr.. Allen was mem
Der of an old New Haven family, also
was connected with many New Eng
land families of note. A short time ago
Mr.. Allen went to New York on a Wis
it to his niece, Mrs. Prof. Sedgwick
Button of Columbia university. He
was seized with an attack of pneu-
monia and rapidly sank, passing away
at her house, having been i'll only three
days. His wife and her sons were with
him in his last hours.
Mr. Allen was born in New York, but

both of whom have now passed away
survive Henry Trowbridge and Will
liam Bradford Allen. After the death
of his first wife Mr.. Allen married Mrs
Hart of Pennington, and he lived sew
eral years in that place, For a time,
however, Mr.. and Mrs. Allen lived in
the Kensington in this city. For the
last few years he resided in Farming
ton.
For a number of years after his sec
ond marriage Mr. Allen was raymaster
for the Consolidated road
He was a great student of history,
his reading covering a vile field of lit
erature. Besides this he possessed that
great fund of original and certain
knowledge which only comes from the
experience of wide foreign travel.
Henry Trowbridge Allen, the elder
son oe Mr.. Allen, was, 1t Will be re-
membered, married about two months
ago to one of the charming daughters
of Pennington. The younger son, Will
liam Bradford Allen, about a year ago
was married to a New York lady. Both
the brothers are at present. engaged in
business, connected with me Hartford
Rubber company in Hartford, where
they now reside. The funeral tf Mr..
Allen will occur in New York to-mor-
row. The funeral arrangements are
not yet fully completed.
