 In the death of Central Police Driver Edward II. Wall at Grace hospital yes terday afternoon at S:15 o'clock the New Haven police department loses one of its best liked and most respected mem bers. Driver Wall was taken to the hospital from his home at 31t State street last Sunday afternoon in seri- ous condition. He was suffering from kidney trouble complicated by dysen- tery and from the time of his arrival at that institution until his death, de- spite every effort to save the valued life, he gradually sank until his death.
 Edward H. Wall was born in this city on State street, near Wallace street, on February 2S, 1859. He attended the pub lie schools of this city and when very young man he entered the employ of Barker & Ransom, the Court street liv- cry dealers, as a driver. He continued with this company for many years and when the firm was superseded by J. H. Mcdonald, MT. Wall continued in the same capacity. On November 1. 1892, Mir. Wall was appointed driver of the police wagon at the central station and he had held that position ever since up to the time of his death. MT. Wall was married to Miss Elizabeth Tiernah when young man and he lived most happily up to the time of his wife's death, about eight years ago. The couple never had any children and since his wife's death MT. Wall had resided most of the time with his brother Michael, who was with fim at their home in State street when the deceased was taken to the hospital. They both lived with their sister up to the time of her death a year and four months ago. Mir. Walls fa- ther, Patrick Wall, was one of the first Irish settlers in this city, and was 8 man who by his sturdy honesty and fairness was loved and respected by all who knew him. Besides his brother Michael, MT. Wall is survived by three nieces, two of whom live on Hill street and the other in Fair Haven.

 And one word more concerning a trait of Driver walls character, an import ant and winning train. The deceased possessed great love for dumb ami mals and it is not to be wondered at ! that his feeling was reciprocated. There 1 is an old and true saying concerning MT Wall and that is he never drove horse but that it loved him.
