But Short Time-Was SO Years of Age
Appointed by President Lincoln-was at
the Wreck of Steamer Chief Justice Mar
shall.
Captain Elizur Thompson, for thirty
five years keeper of the old lighthouse
at Lighthouse Point, died at his resi-
dence there at about o'clock last eve
ming, after very brief illness. The
captain had been in failing health for
three years, but had been able to keep
about his business until last Thursday.
Ever since then, however, he had not
been confined to his bed but was up
and about at supper with the family
Friday evening, and was sitting up at
$50 yesterday morning.
Captain Thompson was eighty-eight
years of age, and had been during his
entire life up to three years ago in
hrst class health, rarely seeing a sick
day. His constitution was a remark
ably strong one. He was born in East
Haven and attended school at the old
school house in that village and was
old Lancasterian school, He was one
of the '49'rs and mined in California
for one year, returning then to New
Haven. In 1862 he was appointed keep
er of the lighthouse by President Lin
coin. He was one of those who saw
the wreck of the steamer Chief Justice
Marshall on the rocks just off South
End, that steamer being at that time
one of the largest and finest steamers
on the soundyx The captain frequently
related the story of the wreck and had
III his house a picture of the steamer on
the rocks and also several mementoes
Of the occurrance.
Captain Thompson married Eliza
beth Bradley of East Haven, who died
in 1871 at the age of sixty-one years.
He later married Mrs. Prince of Avon,
this state, who survives him. BY his
first wife he had seven children now
living. They are Henry c. Thompson,
who is keeper of the new lighthouse;
Mrs. Lyman A. Grannis, Jason B.,
Sidney b., George A., Stephen E., and
Theodore H. Thompson, all of this city.
In later years the captain had kept a
sort of summer hotel at his residence at
the Point, and usually had a house full
Of guests during the summer season,
among them being considerable party
from Amsterdam, N. Y, and others
from various inland towns of Connec-
ticut.
The deceased had been for the great
er part of his life a member of East
Haven Congregational church. The
funeral will be held from the late resi-
dence at O'clock Wednesday after
noon. Rev. D. j. Clark will officiate
and the interment will be in the East
Haven cemetery.
The captain by his genial disposition
had gained a host of friends He was
famous as a good entertainer. and few
men had such a fund of interesting
"reminiscences to relate. All who knew
him were interested in his vigorous per-
sonality and moved to respect his hon
est upright character.

Reforms to be Put in Force at Once.

Madrid, Feb. THE premier to-day
declared that the government would
execute the reforms in Cuba at once,
and would not wait for the complete
pacification of the island. 1t would be
sufficient If the rebellion were confined
to the eastern provinces.
There is much dissatisfaction ex-
pressed here over what are believed
to be the excessive concessions made to
the Cubans in the scheme of reforms,
and it is thought that cabinet changes
are liable to result. 1t is reported to-
day that Marquis Pidal or General
Martinez Campos will shortly replace
Senior Canovas del Castillo, the prime
minister. The latter, should he re-
sign, would place himself at the dispos-
al Of the crown, which would possibly
advise him to support Marquis RidaL
