MERCHANT FOUND DEAD.
South Main Street Grocery Man Died h an Undertaking Establishment
 During the Night
SOLD OUT BUSINESS YESTERDAY

Alfred Vincelette, for some time past proprietor of grocery stolc at 409 South Main street, was fouEd dead this morning in the rear room of J. A. Lariviere's undertaking es- tablishment, next door to the gro- cery. Yesterday MT vincelette sod his business to Frank Peer, and as he had been in the habit of sleeping in an apartment back of the store, he was somewhat at loss to know where to stay last night, the new proprietor objecting to his presence in the building. During the after noon he stated his case to MT Lari- yiere and wanted to know If he could occupy the cot in his room for the night. MT Lariviere consented anc gave him the key to the front door The old gentleman was seen about the place up to 10 or II o'clock. after which he evidently entered the undertaking rooms, locked the door and retired for the night
 This morning, when Maurice Gren- fer, an elderly man who works for the undertaken, called at the place he found the door locked and, re- ceiving no response to repeated knocks. he concluded that the re- tired grocer was in sound sleep, and decided upon another plan to get on the inside. Going into the gro- cery store which had been kept by MT Vincelette he got into the cellar and from there found his way to a doorway which opens into the ur- dertaking establishment. As soon as MT Grenier entered the store he went to the rear room and there found Mir Vincelette lying short distance from the cot with one hand under his head. It didn't take htn, long to see that the man was dead. and without much ceremony he hur- ried out again and reported the fart to Mir Lariviere. who as soon as con venient notified the medical exam finer, who rendered verdict of acci- dental poisoning from Illuminating gas. MT Vincelette was about Go years of age and had been a resident of Waterbury for many years. He worked at the grocery business in Brooklyn and on South Main street and was very industrious man, lie leaves no family. When found he had something in the neighborhood of $200 in his pockets.
 His pants were hanging on a gas jet over the little bed and 1t is thought that in throwing them up there he turned on the gas and didn't notice 1t until he was almost suffo- cated, when 1t would appear from the position of the body at the time Mir Grenier first saw 1t, he made an effort to get out. but fell, tripped on the different things in tbe small room and could not get any farther. It was quite shock to the neighbors and especially to Mir Grenier. who says he shall never forget it as long as he lives.
