DEATH OF JOHN HANrFIy.

Occurred Suddenly Yesterday Morning.
 John Hanif1n, a we'll known local newspaper man, for some time editor of the Morning News, died suddenly about 1o.30 o'clock yesterday morning at his home, 121 Townsend avenue. He was at his work at the News office Wednesday night and went home shortly after midnight. He rose about s o'clock yesterday morning and ap- parently was feeling as well as usual up to @ few minutes before his death. He was sitting with his wife when he complained of not feeling exactly well, but said that he did not think it would prevent his going to his business as usual. Soon after he complained of suffocation, and his wife picked up fan and famed him. He did not seem to be suffering but later his breathing became so troubled that Mrs Hanifin called a little girl and sent her to call Dr. Holbrook of East Haven Before the physician could arrive, however, MT. Hanifin had passed away He was in poor health about a year ago, but lately he had been feeling well.
 MT. Hanifin, who was about forty five years of age, has lived in this ctv all his life, having been born in Fair Haven. For the past fifteen years or more he had been connected with the editorial departments of different city newspapers. He was for years a cor respondent of John Boyle O'Reillys paper, the Boston Pilot when O'Reilly was its editors Over the name of Phineas he published book ',rhe Blind Man and the Devil,' which dealth with the labor and social problem, and was very original in it's construction.
 For nearly eight years MT. Hanifin had been connected with the Union and was always considered faithful and efficient reporter, and he made friends in all parts of the city, who greatly mourn his sudden taking off. About a year ago MT. Hanifin severed his connection with the Union and be- came editor of the News, which posi- tion he held at the time of his death.
 He was prominently identified with the Irish revolutionary movement and was a menlDer or the EHllllet cluD. ne was one of the organizers of the origi- nal St. Patrick's T. A. and B. society He was also member of Sheridan council Royal Arcanum.
 When the news of his death became known yesterday great surprise was occasoned and his many friends were greatly shocked. He leaves wife, who is an invalid and brother, Richard Hanifin. A meeting of the newspaper men of the city will be held at the Morning News office at 4:30 this after noon to take suitable action on his death.

WELCOME RENHAM VERY ILL

Meriden, Aug. 1S.-Welcome F. Ben ham, one of the best known men of Meriden and prominent in religious work here for many years, is very low and not expected to recover. MT. Ben ham was the father of the local Y M c. A. and through his untiring efforts the present building and home of the association was erected. Each year MT. Benham solicited for the benefit of the association and his life work has been for it's welfare. So closely connected with its life was Mir. Benham that the news of it's present embarrassment has completely unstrung him. This after noon his condition was about the same as it was this morning-extremely crit ical.
 Mr. Benham recently, in addition to having given $1,900 in the past for the Y. M. c. A., offered to be one of thirty to pay $100 each and thus raise all of the $3,000 debt and improve the 5000 volume library.

OUTING OF THE MASTER PLUMB

The third annual outing of the New Haven Association of Master Plumbers was held on Wednesday, the 17th, at the well known shore resort, Mans fields Grove, ard was the largest gath ering of the kind yet held by the asso- ciation The day was one that all could enjoy at the shore, and was taken ad- vantage of by the members in the va ried amusements which had been pro- vided for their entertainment, About thirty-fiYe responded to the call for dinner, among those who were present being Health Officer Dr. F. w. Wright, Ward Bailey of the health board, and E. A. Creevey of Bridgeport, of the ex- ecutive board of the State Association of Master Plumbers. The substantial and appetizing dinner was followed by cigars and when order had been secur- ed President Theodore A. Potter well comed the members and guests and thanked them for their attendance. s. E. Dibble was introduced as toastmas- ter After remarks by MT. Dibble, pr. Wright followed in very interesting account of the relations of the physi- elan to the plumber In regard to sani- tary matters, Remarks were also made by MT. Bailey. MT. Creevey, Robert Morgan, w. H. Mcdonald of Clerkin & McDonald; c. E. Coe, B. A. Rourke, c. U. Neuman. A. B. Sproul, and Plumbing Inspector J. D. Eldridge, who prefaced his remarks with an apology for having eaten so much that the chair stuck fast to him, After re- marks by some of the other members, Toastmaster Suggested that in view of the negotiations for peace now pending, and remembering General Grants mot to, Let us have peace,' 1t would be very appropriate to close by singing America and calling on P. F. Con- nelly as leader it was sung with a will. It was the unanimous opinion of those attending that the outing was as pleas ant one as could well be held, The committee having the arrangements of the outing in charge consisted of D. M. Sheehan, w. AT. Smith and c. B. Coe.

Disposition of Various Cases Yesterday
 Harry Thompson was tried before Judge Dow in the city court yesterday for an assault alleged to have been committed nearly month ago on Jesse Black of Foote street. Black has been in the hospital since the affair occurred and in court yesterday morning he ap- peared to be half dazed. Attorney Da- Vid 10, Fitzgerald, who appeared for Thompson, succeeded in having the count charging assault with intent to murder nolled, and the case was tried as one of simple assault. Judge Dow decided that Thompson was the aggres- sor and fined him $25 and costs. An appeal was taken to the common pleas court under a bond of $150, which was furnished by the father of the defen- dant

About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Superintendent Starkweather of the New Haven hospital received a tele- gram from Camp Wikhoff saying that eight soldiers i'll with typhoid fever would be sent to the New Haven hospi- tai to-day. Mir. Starkweather, after re- ceiving this telegram. sent request that he be informed when the patients would arrive, but up to late hour last night had received no answer. Wheth- CT this is only the first installment of soldier patients to be sent to the hospi- tai or all that will be sent he does not know yet.

GENERAL McMANus' VISITOR.

He Was an Old Comrade. a Native of
 China, Who Has Had Plenty of Ad-
 venture.
 The other day General Thomas Me Manus was pleased to receive a call in hs office from John M. Brown, who was second lieutenant of Company II, Twenty-fifth Connecticut regiment the regiment of which the general was ma jor during the war of the rebellion. It was the second time the general had met Lieutenant Brown since the close of the war, and the meeting was a source of great pleasure to both. Lieu tenant Brown has had quite q stirring and adventurous career. He is a na- tive of Hong Kong, China. His father, who was native of East Windsor, this state. settled in Hong Kong, where he established an English school. When fifteen years old young Brown was sent to this country to be educated, and when the war broke out he was living at the home of his ancestors in East Windsor. He enlisted as a private in Company q, Twenty-fifth regiment. Colonel George P. Bissell, who was in command of the regiment, learned that the young private, who was barely sev- enteen years old, was the son of the MT. Brown who had extended many courtesies to him when he Colonel BisselD visited Hong Kong many years before. He took an interest in Private Brown.
 At the end of the war Private Brown had been promoted to the second lieu tenancy of Company H of the regiment After the war Lieutenant Brown went back to China He has since been near ly all over the world. General Me- Manus took him out to Pennington to see the old quartermaster-s sergeant of the regiment, Thomas L. Porter, whose wife was buried about a week ago, and who has now gone to the Soldiers HIne at Noroton. The meeting between the three comrades in Pennington was an affecting one.
 An interesting fact in connection with the school in Hong Kong, conducted by Lieutenant Browns father, is that it was the school in which Yung Wing re- ceived his first rudiments of English. It was while he had Mir Brown for a preceptor that Mir Yung made up his mind to receive thorough English ed- ucation.--Hartford Times.
