EMERY B. TAYLOR DEAD.

Was Bookkeeper for John W. Gaffney
 & Go for Twenty Years.
 Emery B. Taylor died yesterday at his home. 423 East Main street, after a brief illness MT Taylor was book keeper for. John W. Gaffney & Go for the past twenty years and worked up to last Friday night, making out the weekly payroll and getting everything ready for Saturday. In the morning g he felt slightly indisposed and sent word that he would not be at the office that day. He remained about the house until bed time and retired with out any alarming symptoms, but he had not been long in bed when his condition became serious and Dr Rob- bins was called. The physician visit ed him three times during the night, but was unable to give amy relief and he continued to sink gradually until 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon when he passed away without a struggle. Death was due to Bright's disease ag- gravated by a carbuncle on his neck, from which he had been suffering for about ten days. Mir Taylor was born in East Cornwall, March 6, 1851, and was educated in the public schools of that place. Through an accident in factory at Southington he lost his right arm when he was about twenty years old. After this he studied book keeping and became an expert at the business. Tn 1883 he went to woak for John W. Gaffney & Go and had been with the firm ever since. He was a very faithful employe and con- nanded the respect and esteem of ev- erybody who came in contact with fim. During all these years he boarded with Mrs M. Taylor, a relative, and was idolized by every member of the fam fly. He Is survived by one brother, W. A. Taylor of Southington, and a sister, Mrs Hattie Benedict of Milton. The funeral will be held at o'clock tomorrow afternoon with service at the house by the Rev MT Fletcher of Oakville. The remains will be taken to SOuthington for burial. ..-

MISS KATHERINE R. BYERs


 Death of Director of School of House
 keeping at Friendly League.
 During the morning hour of yester- days services in the churches Miss Katherine Rosetta Byers passed into rest, the painful disease of which she died, cancer of the colon, having been acknowledged to a physician and friends but one week ago to-day, al- though probably she had been a suf- ferer for many months.
 Miss Byers, who came to Waterbury nearly year ago accompanied by her mother, from their honI@ in Oskaloosa, Iowa. has filled the position of director of the school of housekeeping at the Friendly league with notable success. Her refining influence has been appar- ent in every department of the league work. A realization of responsibility and faithful acceptance of the obliga- tions that are its outcome have been met always with cheerful faithfulness.
 A native of Ohio, brought up and ed ucated in Iowa, where also she was a teacher for seven years in the best of private schools of that state and graduate of Drexel institute, Philadel- phia, she brought to the school of housekeeping, as its director, an ex- perience and a consecration to the work that has been most valuable to the Friendly league, and appreciated by its board of officers.
 Miss Byers has been a contributor to magazine literature in the department of her speciality, domestic science, and of the large family of brothers and sisters, all of whom survive her, she being the youngest, her eldest brother, Samuel Hawkins Marshall Byers, of Des Mofnes, Iowa, has a national rePu- tation as a man of letters. Known chiefly as the author of the federal song of the latter part of the war for the Union, "Sherman's March to the Sea-" He also has written "Iowa in War Times" Switzerland and the swiss;" ''The Happy Isle (poems)" Twenty Years in Europe, or Recollec- tions of q Consul General" and many other publications. For IS years Gen. eral Byers represented the United States as Consul-General to Italy and Switzerland. He was a member of sherman's staff during the war.
 Miss Byers marked consideration for others showed an unselfish spirit, and an ever readiness to place self in the background. In her personality there was peculiar delicacy of judg- ment, combined with unusual strength, of character. She possessed a wide grasp of conditions about her which suggest an inheritance from that strong type of family that has helped to make the world better. A lifelong devotion to her mother, who made her home with her daughter, was but the natural expression of the daughters lovely life.
 The funeral service will be held at her late residence, BIT West Main street, tomorrow, Tuesday evening at 7:3O o'clock. The interment will be at Oskaloosa, Iowa. t.
 The Friendly league building will be closed during the hour of the service.

JOHN ALMAs ASSAULTED.
Two Men Waylaid Him Near Brooklyn
 Bridge on Saturday Night.

John Almas Of 1,162 Bank street, an employe of the Manufacturers Foun- dry Co, was Waylaid and brutally as saulted on Saturday night, underneath the railroad bridge on Bank street. As a result of the attack Mir Almas is nursing badly injured head, bruised shoulder and a cut eye. MT Almas's version of the attack is substantially as follows: On Saturday night about quarter after Il o'clock he was re, turning home from town. AS he passed the Brooklyn bridge he saw two men coming out of the passage way by the factory of Holmes, Booth & Hay dens Go. As he passed them by they dropped behind him, but he took no special notice of them, as he thought that they were returning home just the same as he. As he was passing under the railroad bridge MT Almas was suddenly struck terrific blow on the side of the head with some in- strument. The next he knew he was lying on the pavement and his assail- ants were kicking him, and he heard one of them say something about q scab. Mir Almas laid in the gutter un- til about ii :45, when he regained con- sciousness and succeeded in walking home. His mind was in a daZed con- dition and his head caused him much pain. His eye was swollen twice it's natural size and there were deep cuts both above and below it. His shoulder where he had struck the pavement was badly bruised, and other parts of his body where he had been kicked were also bruised. Saturday night he was unable to sleep owing to the condition of his head. His condition is somewhat better to-day, but he was unable to go to work. It was thought at first that he might lose the sight of his eye, but 1t has improved since yesterday and looks as if 1t would come around all right. Some change In his trousers was taken, but his watch and chain and some bills that were in his vest pocket were not disturbed. MT Almas is of the opin- ion that the men were waiting to do up some person and that they mistook him for that person. He has not pa- tronized the cars since the strike, nor has he done anything to merit the ap- probrium of being called a "scab."
