OBITUARY NOTES.
uuera, of Anna Bertha Kimberly,

An unusually large concourse of sor- rowing friends and relatives attended the last sad rites over the remains of Anna Bertha Kimberly yesterday morn ing. The services, which were held at the residence of her parents, 800 How ard avenue, were very simple but ex- ceedingly impressive and conducted by the Rev. MT. Mariett of the Church of the Ascension and the Rev. MT. Parker of Trinity church. Deceased was a member of, Trinity church and always prominent i'll church work, especially that of the Sunday school.
 The floral offerings marking the es- teem with which the deceased was held by her many friends and acquaintances were very numerous and extremely handsome in design. The "B. T." so- ciety of Eillhouse high school, of which Miss Kimberly had been one of the prominent members, sent the emblem of their society done in flowers, and the class of 1900, in which deceased was graduated, also sent an appropriate piece.
 At the conclusion of the ceremony at the house the remains were taken to Guilford on the 11:O5 train for inter- ment. At the grave the Rev. Mr. An drews officiated.
 The pallbearers were Dr. Joel I. But Ter, Albert N. Butler, Robert Wilson, George Boerner, William E. Ford and Albert Blakeslee.

MAY STRIKE AT STAMFORD.
Trouble Expected in the Building
 Trades fn That City.

Trades in That City. ..
 Stamford, Aug 14.--It is expected that strike in the building trades WI take place in Stamford and vicinity to- morrow. The conditions which have been leading up to this end are rather unusual, being an effort on the part oe the Trades Council to force into affilia- tion with that order the bricklayers, masons and tinsmiths. The painters, plumbers, carpenters and several other trades unions joined the Trades Council some time ago, the masons, brick,ayers and tinsmiths declaring that they could see no advantage to be gained by so Go- ing, refused to join. The Trades Coun- cil, after using persuasion. finally is sued an ultimatum that unless these unions joined the council by the 18th of August they would refuse to allow their men to work on the same jobs with anyone who could not show a Trades Council card. .s.=
 The contractors say that there is very little large work going on now in Stam- ford and vicinity and that the disputing parties need not work on the jobs to- gether, but the clash at some time in the near future is inevitable. The con- tractors are watching developments with no little interest. j.

VOTE ON SCHOOL MATTER.
Fifteenth Warders Vote to Consolidate
 With New Haven School District.

Fifteenth Warders Vote to Consolidate
 With New Haven School District.
 The voters of the Fifteenth ward yesterday held a special election for the purpose of deciding whether or not the South school district, heretofore an independent district. should become a part of the New Haven school district and voted it in by majority of three. It was expected that the vote would be a close one, but nobody in the ward thought that it would be as close as it turned out to be. There were thirty seven for and thirty-four against.
 The polling was done in the schoo! building at the rear of the old Forbes house, the moderator being George Boyer, the president of the school com mittee. Those having charge of the boxes were John Kennedy and Clar- ence Phelps.
 The petition for the consolidation of the two districts was sent to the com mon council about two months ago as a rsult of a vote by the committee of the South school district.
 Westyille is now the only remaining school district which is separate from the city of New Haven district and it is thought to be only question os few months until this district will vote to be annexed.

THEY CROSSED THE OCEAN.
In a 3s-Foot Kerosene Launch from
 New York City.

New York City.
 Falmouth, England, Aug. 14.-Captain Newman and his son Edward arrived here tonight in the thirty -eight-foot kerosene lunch Abiel Abbot Low, in which they sailed from New York on July g.
 In an interview with representative of the Associated Press Captain New man said:
 "The launch has proved herself a mo- ble boat, but we experienced awful times since we left New York. Several times in terrible gales, we nearly lost our drag anchor owing to the gear chaf- ing away. We voyaged 3,103 miles We had great trouble with the kerosene be- cause the tanks which held it broke and oil flooded the cabin. My boy be- came i'll and homesick. suffered great ly from exposure and long sitting in one position. We spoke the American line steamer Kroonland on August in mid Atlantic. After this we encountered a series of most severe gales and the hardships were so great that I feared we would not survive. We did not speak another vessel until August 13, when we met a fisherman ninety miles off the Scilly Islands. Those last nine ty miles were the longest I ever ran in my life. would not hesitate, however, to try the voyage again."
 The voyagers rarely used the sail on the launch. Captain Newman lost thir- ty pounds in weight on the trip, but his son seems to have derived benefit from the experience.

Descendants of Benjamin Franklin to
 Begin Legal Proceedings.

Begin Legal Proceedings.
 New York, Aug. 14.-Claimants for
 money presented by Benjamin Frank
 lin, a few years before his death, to the cities of Philadelphia and Boston for the benefit Of printers and artisans of the I. printers craft, have appeared in Jersey City. They are Benjamin Frank Bache,
 a druggist, of that city; his brother. | Walter, and three sisters, Mrs. Booz and Mrs. Fine. The claimants say they
 are descendants of Franklin and that
 the money left by him to the two cities has never been used for the purpose for
 which it was intended. The original
 fund given to each city is said to have
 been G100 sterling and it ks claimed that
 the total amount. including compound
 interest, will now be about s400,O00. The
 claimants have retained counsel to push this claim. ..
 Boston, Aug. IA. - The reported att tempt of heirs of Benjamin Franklin
 to establish a claim to funds left by Franklin to New York and Boston, is declared by the trustees of the fund to be of little importance as similar att tempts by other claimants have failed in the courts. The Franklin fund, so-called, was willed to Boston in 17s1. From s1,000 sterling, the original sum, to be loaned out in small sums to young married ar tif1cers of Boston, to be repaid in year. ly installments of 10 per cent. and in terest at per cent, the fund on July 1, 1901, just century after the first loan, amounted to $391, ,16S. Of this, $40, 169 is to be used for a trades school.
 The balance will go on interest for another hundred years.

By Their Past They Prove Their
 Worth.

Worth.
 In presenting this, their latest crea- tion in ninstrelsy, Messrs. Primrose & Dockstader have in store for the public many new surprises and novel features, also a complete new scenic and lighting equipment, and give to the public the only first class and meritorious minstrel entertainment in the world. Primrose & Dockstader and their company Of minstrel artists will be the attraction at the Hyperion on Tuesday night, August 19. By their past, they have proven themselves to theatergoers and forced their patronage to acknowledge that minstrelsy is a choice form of enter tainment, when properly given, and is equal to and ill some respects superior to the legitimate drama inasmuch as it reaches a wide range of appreciation. Its pure and charming melodies, whole some comedy, vocal excellence and en- tertaining specialties make up an enter tainment which can be attained by la dies and the very young, as at no time is it beyond the limits of propriety in effort to be fin-de-siecl The Primrose &, Dockstader company this season is unequalled for comedians, vocalists and specialists. The scenic and lighting ef- fects are beautiful. Seats on sale Sat urday.
