 Last Friday afternoon, George Aus tin, one of the most trusted and con. scientious engineers on the O. N. E. Railroad, having been employed in that capacity on that road upward of 20 years, was stricken with Bright's di. sesse of the kidneys. The immediate cause of his prostration was ursemia, brought on by Bright's disease from which he had been suffering for several years. causing an effusion on the brain which produced partial paralysis. At the time he sustained the shock Mir Austin was at his post on the engine of Conductor Smiths train. the "Millerton local" due in Canaan at 5.04 p. m. and was just leaving Norfolk when he com plained to Fireman Fred Woodin of a numbness in his arm, shortly after call ing him to his aid.

Until a few months ago he had resided in Hartford, where two years ago be lost hls three sons. Besides a widow and & five months old son he is survived by a mother, Mrs Mary Austin, of Water bury.
 At the time of his death Mir Austin lived with his family on Front street, Winsted, and felt as we'll as usual when he left his home Friday morning. In passing his house thst afternoon he gave his usual salute to his wife with the whistle, which she had learned to listen for and which indicated to her that all was we'll, consequently the news of bis sudden illness and death came to her with unusual sadness.
