James Hobart Warner.
ONE OF NEwTowN's BEST KNOWN

ONE OF NEwTowN's BEST KNOWN
orrIxENs.
When the news of the death of James
Hobart Warner, which occurred az his
late home at Sandy Hook on Tu,ssd ay
morning, BECAME known, sincere express
sions OF regret at his demise were heard
on all sides, for he WAS man thoroughly
respected not only In the village where
he lived but throughout the town.
Mr. Warner was native of Hewtown
and son OF Charles Camp Warner and
Ann Clark Warner His whole life has
been spent here, for when he was only
IL years old be began his business caf ser
IS q clerk in the general store OF William
B. Glover at Sandy Hook. He was soon
taken in as partner in the business with
Smith p. Glover, and ever since has been
member of the firm which has done
business In the brick store, as ii il famil-
iarly known in this section. Mr. Warner
had always been active in the church,
business and social life of Sandy Hook
until about year ago, when failing
health compelled him to relinquish his
mold. He travelled West and south in
hopes that a change would be beneficial,
and consulted eminent physicians, but
his decline was notieea BILE and he gradu-
ally failed in health, passing away on
Tuesday morninl as before stated, about
10 O'Clock, in his 64eh year.
MIR Warner always was an earnest
member and staunch supporter of st
Johns church. He was confirmed at
Trinity church and was an active MEM
Der, serving for some time as vestry-
man, until the parish of St Johns
church was set eli, when he cast bis in
fuenee ard assistance in the new parish.
Since the beginning. he has been warden
OF this church and superintendent of its
Sunday school. La 1863 he married Flo
ra j. Beers, who survives him. Their
union, which was most happy one, was
blessed with six children, four of whom
are living, Miss Mary s. Warner. Miss
Florence A. Warner and Hobart G. War
ner, who live at home, and Paul B. War
ner, who is in business at Chicago.
The funeral will be attended to-day,
(Friday), from st Johns church at 2
o'clock In the afternoon, and the inter
ment will be in the Newtown cemetery.
Mr. Warner never sought to figure in
the political life of the town, preferring
rather to attend strictly to his own bus
mess interests, but he was the kind OF
staunch, straigh forward business mer
that are an honor to any community and
whose loss is most keenly felt.

Death of Charles Jonas.
PASSES AWAY ON SATURDAY LAST AT
HIS HOME IN ToRRINGToN.


The sad intelligence was received in
town ON Sunday OF the death of q form.
er esteemed citizen of Newtown, Charles
Jonas, the tailor. He died on Saturday
afternoon, having been in poor health
for some months. Mr. Jonas was 46
years old. He went to Philadelphia in
1875 upon reaching this country, but
soon moved to Danbury, where he re.
manned only few months. He then To-
Gated in Newtown, where ne resided for
over 20 years. He moved to Torrington
about year ago, and had lately moved
into a new house on Prospect street in
that town. His death, as viewed from
human standpoint, seems most untimely.
Mr. Jonas was member of Hiram lodge,
T. 6 A. M, and Hiram chapter. While
here he was faithful attendant at the
Congregational church. A wife, two
daughters and son survive him. The
funeral occurred on Wednesday at Tor
riDgton. The Congregational church of

POLO CLUB DlsBANDED
Large Crowd Disappointed at Oak
land Rink.

The Jersey City Polo Club was dis
banded Saturday night, at Oakland Rink,
just before the game with Yonkers was
to nave been played, and 500 people were
disappointed. This is the end of polo
h~ereabouts. hat this would occur was
limited in 'The News" of Saturday. The
main cause of this action was that the
New York Club was disbanded on Fri
day. When this action was taken it left
only Jersey City, YonkersA and Stamford
in the League. Neither Yonkers nor
Stamford had beer able to pay full sal
aries for two weeks, and Saturday nights
game here would have brought the ca
end. Stamford would have to quit in a
few days. Jersey City would then have
40 team to play against and would have
died for lac of opponents Manager
Barnie says the death of his club was
fastened by the actions of the members
of his team. He said he discovered a
plan whereby the members had arranged
to leave this city Saturday night for
Bangor Me, where they would form a
club and play in the New England
League. Furburt and Hadley had left
Thursday night, after the game with
Yonkers. The local team demanded sal
aries before they would play, Manager
Barnie said, and he refused them, as
their money was not due until Wednes-
day. O'Malley refused to play n was
backed up by his fellows. Then the man
agement decided to give up. The game
had taken a strong hold on the people of
Jersey City and many regrets were ex-
pressed.

CLUB DAY HANDBALL.
Cracks Meet and Offer Good Sport
to Large Crowd.

The Mercer street court was the scene
of some very lively handball matches yes
terday and the crowd was greatly pleased
with what the cracks offered. The crowd
Vas as large as has been at the court In
some time, and there was plenty Of en-
thuSiasm.
The star feature of the day was the
game between Mike Egan, who is train
lng Tor IN, ms $ matGn WIN lem ~ Lam m,.h
in, Ireland. The ex7amateur champion
Is certainly fit, as his opponent of yester-
day. T. Jackson. can testify. A series OF
three games brought these men together,
and Esan won the entire set handily.
Egan and Jackson then took On P. Scott
and E.. Ficke, and again Egan was on the
winning side.
The chief topic of conversation during
the day was the offer of Fitzgerald to
play Egan at the Brooklyn court, and the
Chicago expert would not be pleased had
