 Father DaIy's Funeral.


 The parish of St. Joseph's Catholic church greatly mourns the death of their pastor, the Rev. Michael J. Daly. The funeral which will be held We'd nesday, at 10 o'clock, will be one of the largest held in New Haven in years, and the large church will be too small to contain the hundreds of people who wish to pay their last tribute of re- spect
 It is expected that fully 200 priests, including quite a number from out of town, will attend the solemn services. Among those expected is the Very Rev Lavelle, rector of the New York cathedral, who delivered the sermon at the dedication of St. Joseph's church. The Rt. Rev, Bishop Tierney Is unable to attend owing to illness, but it is ex- pected that he will be represented by Vicar General Synnott of Hartford. The celebrant of the solemn high mass of requiem will be the Rev. Luke Fitz- simmons of Rockville, cousin of the deceased.
 The Rev Patrick Daly will be the deacon of the mass. Father Daly, is pastor Of the Broad Brook church, where the deceased priest was also pastor several years ago. The Rev. Timothy Crowley of Waterbury will be sub-deacon, and it is expected that the Rev John G. Murray, chancellor of the diocese of Hartford, will be the master of ceremonies.
 The preacher will be the Rev Walter shanley, P, R., of St. Peters church, Danbury.
 The body of the deceased pastor will be removed from the rectory in Edwards street to the church at 10 VI. m. to-day, and will there lie in state. During that night guards of honor will be at the church, and made up of the members of the Holy Name and other societies of St, Josephs
 It is the desire oi the parishioners of the late Father Daly that his body should repose in the lot at the front of the church and that the beautiful edi- flee which he built should be hbs mon- ument; but the wish was expressed by him, just previous to his death, that he should be buried in St. Lawrence cemetery, and this wish will be re- spected.
 The honorary bearers and the active bearers will be prominent members of St. JoSeph's parish and other friends.
 There will be a splendid and impress sive musical service and the regular choir of the church will be reinforced by many we'll known soloists from other Catholic churches of the city. The church will be decorated with mourning emblems

demic typhoid is running its. course

community. In a family composed of
thirteen, six have been stricken with
the dread disease of whom Charles
Mosley, the head of the family, died
Friday night, and his married daugh-
ter, who was living with them also
died early Sunday morning. Of the
four children remaining who were suf

physicians care, the oldest one was in
most critical condition, while two
corpses were in the house last Sunday.
The funeral of Charles Mosely there
fore held on Sunday afternoon, being
removed from his home leaving an
other of the family remaining therein
and another thought to be at the point
of death, were conditions unusually
sad. On Monday, however, the most
critically i'll of the four children de-
veloped improved symptoms and it is
now hoped they will recover.
