Man Who Made a Trip There to Visit
 His Friends.
 John Phelan of West Grove street, who went to Ireland a couple of months ago for the benefit of his health, died there during the early part Of the present month. MT Phelan had a large number of acquaintances in Waterbury who will regret to learn of his death. The day he left here a Democrat reporter who knew him when he was almost giant in point of strength, had a long chat with him on Bank street and was much interest ed in hearing him recount some of the escapades he figured in some years ago in the country which he was about to revisit and where he hoped the in v1gorating breezes would restore his shattered health. He intended to re- turn to Waterbury after he got better, but it seems the voyage did not agree with him and he died soon after reach ing his destination. While MT Phelan's hopes with reference to his health were not fulfilled still he had one consoIa- tion i'll his last moments, which thousands have sighed for in vain when they felt the icy hand of death upon them. He knew that his re- mains would be buried where most men like to take their long last sleep, beside the ashes of his kindred, where he had often knelt above the graves of dear ones gone before and breathed a fervent prayer for the repose of their souls.

A Tame Affair In DTaniIa-The Ty-
 phoon SubsidinE.


 MANILA, July 28.-The antifriar demonstration which the municipal government had been informed was to be held here yesterday proved to be unimportant. The police forbade the holding of a procession, and the re serves were assembled for the purpose of maintaining order.

At the conclusion of the meet ing, which was not largely attended owing to the storm which prevailed, the crowd dispersed quietly.
 The typhoon which prevailed over central LGzon is subsiding. Telegraph and telephone wires are prostrated. Floods have prevailed in central Lu- zon, and considerable damage has been done.
 During the past forty-eight hours 150 fresh cases of cholera were reported in Manila. No reports regarding the disease were received from the prov inces owing to the storm.

 May Be Withdrawn.


 May Be Withdrawn.
 Hartford, July 2S.-The suit of Lil- 1ian L. Bergen against James D. Ber- gen of New York for divorce, and incl dental alimony pending the suit, was before Justice Hall in New York Sat nrday and the request for alimony was denied, the justice saying:
 The allegations of defendants aduI- fery in the complaint and in the peti- fion are made on information and be- lief. Those allegations are positively and circumstantially denied by the de- fendants and by the only correspondent named in the complaint The allega- fions of the petition of what the plaint- If has learned as the attitude and be- havior of the defendant with certain women are of no force whatever. She does not produce the affidavits of any of the persons from whom she learned the facts and does not even say she be- lieves them. Upon all the papers pre- scented on this motion the plaintiff has not fair chance of succeeding in her action and in such case alimony should mot be granted.
 The complaint it will be remembered mentioned the stenographer of MT Ser gen as correspondent and also made certain charges as to the relations of MT Bergen with his former wife, now Mrs DeWolf Hopper, formerly Miss Nella Reardon and we'll known as a choir singer in this city. The decision of the justice, it is understood, has put such a phase upon the case that the suit will be withdrawn and settle ment will be reached outside of the courts.
