HARTFORD GAS LIGHT COMPANY.

HARTFORD GAS LIGHT COMPANY.
Hartford, March 31.-The Hartford
City Gas Light company announced to-
day a reduction in the price of gas to
one dollar per thousand feet, the direc-
tors having unanimously voted to au-
thorize the new price, and the change
will go into effect June /. This Easter
offering of the company celebrates it's
semi for it is now fifty years
old
General J. P. HARRISON, treasurer and
general manager of the gas company,
says that the company expected to COM
pensate itself for this cut Of 20 per cent.
by an enormous increase in use of gas,
especially for fuel purposes.
Already about one-third of the COM
pany's product is used in that way and
the demand is growing rapidly. Gas is
used for fuel, for power and for lighting.
Last year the consumption in Hartford
far exceeded that of any preceding year.
1t is expected that 1899 will leave 1898
far behind.

S. Y. BEACH,S FUNERAL.
Many Public Tokens OF Respect and
Esfeem

The funeral of Sharon Yale Beach,
who died at his home in Seymour Mon
day morning, in the ninetieth year of
his age, was very largely attended on
Thursday afternoon Out of respect to
the memory of Mr.. Beach, who for so
long period of years was prominently
identified with the progress of the town,
all the stores were closed during the
hour of the service.
A large concourse Of people entered
the Beach residence to view the re-
MAINS and bore witness to the honor in
which he was held. All his children,
grown to maturity, followed his re-
mains to their last resting place. They
were Miss Emeline, George W., Andrew
Y, Sharon D. and Theodore b.
or the pallbearers five were his
randsons-Henry and Edward. the
sons of G. w. Beach of Waterbury;
Sharon M. and Ralph, the sons of
Sharon d. Beach, and Harold X, son
Of Theodore B. Beach, while the other
bearer was the husband of a grand
daughter, Gustave G.. Faber
The officiating clergymen were the
Rev. Messrs. Cutten of Montowese,
Mckinney of Ansonia and Campbell Of
Seymour. The two former are the pas
tors of the Baptist churches with which
Mr.. Beach was most closely connected,
and the last mentioned is the pastor of
the Seymour Congregational church,
with which Mr.. Beach's children had
affiliated.
The obsequies were marked with the
same quiet dignity which had charac-
terized Mr.. Beach and won him the
respect and admiration of the com
munity in which he had lived for some
three score years and ten. The long
funeral cortege reached Union cemetery
about $3.50 o'clock, and after the last
sad prayers the remains were inferred
