Those of Charles l.. Pinney and Mrs.
 Sarah Rourke Saturday Night.
 Charles l.. Pinney of 440 Orchard street died suddenly of heart disease early yesterday morning, aged forty two years. Deceased was a carpenter, but had not worked at his trade regu- Iarly for some time, but did odd pieces of work for F. A. Camp, with whom he lived. He got up to build the fire yes terday morning and was found some time afterward face downward on the floor, dead. He had complained for some time of pains in his stomach and the left side of his chest. He was un- married.
 Mrs. Sarah Rourke, widow woman living with her daughter at 525 East street, was found dead in bed about S:30 o'clock yesterday morning. She retired Saturday evening in her usual good health and was apparently in good health at 4:30, when she awoke. Her death was caused by arterial sclerosis of the breast.

Resolutions on Her Death Passed by
 the East Haven Grange.
 At meeting of the members of the East Haven grange. No. 106, P of H., held on Tuesday evening, April 5, 189S $. w. F. Andrews, W. M, appointed a committee, consisting of State Senator D. W. Tuttle c. w. Bradley and c. J. Upson to draft suitable resolutions of respect and esteem relative to the re- cent death of Mrs. William H. Robin son, a member of the order. The com mittee presented the following resolu- tions, which were unanimously adopt ed:
 Resolved, That it is with profound sorrow and sincere regret that we make record of the death of sister Mrs William Fl. Robinson, one of the char ter members of this grange, and our late esteemed associate in this fra ternal order.
 Resolved, That in this great be- reavement and especially in the great loss her husband has sustained we mingle our tears with those of the sor- rowing and afflicted family and extend our sympathies and condolence to every member of the same. Resolved, That while we mourn her death, our grief is assuaged from the fact that we are able to give abundant | testimony that she lived a model and examplary life in all particulars, and | left a rich legacy to her family, the church and society at large of good works well performed.
 | Resolved, That these obituary reso- i lutions be entered at length on the records of this grange, a copy attested | by the secretary and transmitted to the 1 family of the deceased, and also furn- | ished to the several newspapers for publication.
 | In presenting the above c. W. Brad ley alluded to the interest Mrs. Rob inson always took in the Sunday school exercises, and the religious instruction given to the inmates of the New Haven almshouse, when he was superinten- dent of the institution, and when it was located at the head of Martin street, now Edgewood avenue.
 Mrs. Robinson belonged to several fraternal and charitable organizations, and will be greatly missed by large circle of acquaintances and friends, and her death lamented by many in New | Haven and East Haven.

NEW HAVEN DEFENsEs.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier;
 Observers references in your Satur- days paper to the action taken by congress in years past looking to hay ing defenses for New Haven harbor, said action having been due in a large measure to the energetic and patriotic labors of our townsman, Captain Charles H. Townshend, recall to the writer the fact that in the Both congress senate report, Mo- 603, dated March 19, 1888, and appearing under the head of Qualifications and Other Seacoast De- lenses, ''was the following in reference to plans for having defenses at New Haven:
 New Haven, Conn.,, Notifications: Barbette batteries, mortar batteries and submarine mines will form a part of the defensese.'
 Proposed amendment, No. 27: Eight inch, IS ton guns, 2 BLR: 12 inch mortars, rifed.
 "The total estimate of the cost of the land defense armaments, floating bat teries and their armaments, submarine and their adjuncts and the torpedo boats for the defenses, is $126,37, S00." In the Courier of December 9, '91, it is recorded: Captain Townshend be- sides being chairman of two important committees of the New Haven Cham Der of Commerce, represents the Cham Der regarding the two forts recom- mended by a late act of congress to be erected at New Haven for the protee- tion of the harbor of refuge. He called on Senator Hawley and Representative Wilcox, who accompanied him to the secretary of war and chief of engineers who most cordially received him and were favorably impressed with his statements in behalf of New Haven.
 In the Weekly Courier of February 13, 1892, 1t is recorded that New Haven was added to the list of ports to be | fortified, in accordance with letters from Captain Tonwshend, who repre- sented the Chamber of Commerce. | There is much other testimony to show that to Captain Townshend's in- defatigable work these preparations by congress for fortifying New Haven harbor is in large measure due, and 1t should be remembered that when the gentleman was working for New ] Haven's defenses there was no war in sight nor even thought of, but What he was doing this work Gall a labor of love) in the piping times of peace, when the need of defenses was not so apparent as now This is written be- cause earnest, patriotic work should not be forgotten.

 Some of the larger claims are as fol- lows:

 1S91-New Haven City Burial Ground association concrete walk on Ashmun street, $301.03; State Street Hore Rail- road company, half expense of remov- ing snow from Church and Elm streets, $45.
 Another claim is for $6S997 against the Fair Haven and Westville compa- ny for brick pavement between the rails on York street The work was done in 1892 and MT. Ely says that the bill cannot be collected, as steps to col lect it were not taken to lay assess ments when the work was done.
