Then came TO this county for a home
which he owned and operated fifty-two
years. He strove hard TO make his home
happy and hospitable. He was a great
loYer of children and devoted much OF
his time in schools instructing them.
At the time OF his death a loving wife
and twelve devoted children with host
of sympathizing friends were at his bed.
side. His death is supposed TO have
originated from bright's disease His
suffering lasted only few days but such
suffering words cannot describe. AL
though he bore it patiently until his
death, never saying it is too much. HE
said, LET the Holy will OF God be
done"
Mr.. Manning was a consistent Catholic
and manifested the highest type OF a
true christian, ever ready to lend help
ing hand TO all.
He was man OF strong character and
firm conviction. His was a life of puri-
tY and one that could be prohtaby fol-
lowed by Others.
His burial took place Monday at l
o'clock at st. Theresa's Cemetery where
a large concourse OF sorTowing friends
and relatives paid their last loving tri-
butte.
Rev, Father Reanx preached sermon
full Of comfort 10 the heart broken fam.

 While on her way from New York to this city early yesterday morning the Continental met with a serious accident while off Execution light, about thirty miles from New York. The accident will undoubtedly disable the steamer for some time and will incapactate her for making the expected excursion trip to New York for the naval parade in New York to-day. The Continental was blowing along on her way as usual yes- terday morning at o'clock, when sud- denly the walking beam broke in two and the engines stopped. About one hundred passengers were aboard at the time and they rushed out in their night clothes to see what the matter was. There was little confusion among the passengers. When a tug came along side some of the passengers wanted to leave the steamer, but the captain would not permit them to do SO
 The Continental lay at anchor until 5 30, when the Northam came along and took aboard her passengers, who were taken back to New York on the North am. Tugs were sent up from New York and they lowed the Continental to that city.

Later he en- gagged in the real estate business.
 MT. Rice was married at New Haven, Conn.,, twenty-nine years ago to Miss Sarah F. Beecher who survives him. Their long married life, although child less has been almost ideal. Modest and retiring in his nature. MT. Rice all ways declined to accept public office

He was a member of Union lodge, No. i, and had filled all the chairs in the subordinate lodge, and was grand treasurer of the state grand lodge at the time of his death. He joined the chamber of commerce in October 1894, and had kept up ever since an active interest in the work of that organization.

 entrance at that side of the church be- | hind the cross bearer. Following the
 choir boys came a number of clergy in tWos. In the center of them walked Bishop Brewster and behind him Rec tor Lewis of the church, followed by other clergy. The processional up the center aisle to the chancel was very inn
 posing. The officers of the service took
 their places in the chancel and the
 other clergy took the front peWs facing
 the altar There were thirty-tive voices
 in the choir, and their rendering of the
 service was magnificent. At times the singing was of powerful volume, and
 at all times the tonal quality was good.
 The choir was under the direction of Prof. Howard, and the choir work was strengthened by George Mallory, grand son of the late George Mallory, and tenor soloist. William Weidenhammer presided at the organ.
 The services were those customarily used in the restoration of churches
 Bishop Brewster was celebrant of the communion, and Rev. Dr. Lewis WaGs gospler. Rev Mr. Wildman of Wal lingford was episcopler.

 He took his text from Acts III, chap ters 1 to 6. He drew a comparison of the miracle at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple and the present day power of the church. The beggar stands for at large.
