 Cablegrams from Eze, France, to friends here gave the said news of the death Of Frank J. Stevens of Lon- don, and formerly of this city. Mir. Stevens was on an automobile trip from Nice through Monaco, in company with Louis Hay, Yale 'S1, and another friend, and in a collision with street car at Eze all were thrown out, and MT. Stevens had his skull fractured. He had been unconscious since Monday, the day of the accident, and died Tues day evening. Mir. Hay was not serious ly injured, and is recovering.
 MT. Stevens was the younger of the two sons of Edward Stevens and Celes- 'tia Jerome Stevens of this city, his father being up to the time of his death the treasurer of the New Haven clock company. He was born May 1S, 1863. in the house on Wooster Place, next to General Russell's school, known as the Stevens home and occupied by his parents until their death. Imme- diately after graduating from the Sheffield scientific school with the class of 1885, he became connected with the clock company, was at the time of his death their secretary, and of late years had been also their resident London agent and the head of the house of Jerome & Co.,, of London and Liver pool, founded by his grandfather and known all over the civilized world. In order to handle the foreign business of the clock company in modern ways, MT. Stevens had within a few weeks arranged matters so that the old firm of Jerome & Co. has been absorbed by the New Haven Clock company, and their business is now carried on under the new title. It was upon g. short va cation trip taken to recuperate from business cares that he met his death.
 Of a singularly sunny and genial dis position, MT. Stevens attracted every one with whom [. he came in contact. Extremely popular in college and in this city of v his birth, his circle of friends was unusually large because of his travels and residence on New York and London. He had crossed the ocean upwards of fifty times, and these trips alone had materially added to his acquaintance on both sides of the water. Being a bachelor, he was able, and delighted to give the time nec- essary to renewing and strengthening this acquaintance wherever he chanced to be, and the importunities of his friends to be allowed to a chance to be hospitable to him were always source of anxiety to him because of their num- Der and remarkable loyalty and affec- tion. It is the pleasant lot of all of us to have some devoted friends; it was MT. Stevens fortune to have a great many of them all over this country, He will be held in the most affectionate remembrance to everyone of them, his transformations charities to friends and institutions connected with his youth will have to be taken up by others, and the simple death notice in the newspapers of ofyesterday morning will bring sadness to many hearts and the warmest sympathy to his brother and sister. .,a MT. Stevens was . member of the Country and Graduates club of New Haven, of the Yale, Downtown and University clubs of New York, and of similar organizations abroad. He was particularly devoted to the Alpine club of London, and had climbed many of the noted peaks in the mountains of Switzerland. He leaves one brother, George E.
