PATROLMAN
 IVERS DEAD
Was Formerly An Active Athlete and Ball Player Successively Fireman
 and Policeman

Patrolman Thomas Ivers died at 2 o'clock this afternoon at St. Vincent's s hospital where he had been a patient for three months. When the end came, his mother, Mrs. Richard Ivers, his wife, his two brothers, Joseph C.. and Richard and his sister, Miss Kate, were at his bedside. Death was caused by an affection of the kidneys with which he was stricken on Sunday, April IT, shortly before his removal to the hospital.
 Several months previously while Patrolman Ivers was doing duty in East Bridgeport, in the vicinity of acting in a suspicious manner near the residence then occupied by Dr. George E. Cowell. The officer secret ed himself behind one of the trees in the park where he could observe the movements of the man without being detected. When the fellow hurried to the rear of the Cowell resi- dence, the officer gave chase. Steal ing around to the rear, his coming was noticed by the suspect who at- posite side. The officer quickly fol- lowed and apprehended his quarry. In doing so he came in contact with a roSebuSh permanently injurlng the sight of one eye and affecting that of the other. Subsequently 1t was shown that the suspect had no ln- tention to commit any wrong and at the request of Dr. Cowe1 was not held.
 From that time, Officers Ivers was a sick man. He was confined to his home for several weeks, most of the time being compelled to remain in a dark room. Always of a powerful and rugged physique, his confinement told upon him and he developed kid ney trouble through lack of the ac- tivity to which he had invariably been accustomed.
 Believing he had recovered suffi- ciently to resume duty, he again re- ported and was assigned to a beat. Two weeks later, his final illness ov- erwhelmed him while at his home, 434 Arctic street. He was stricken with a fainting spell while in the attic at his home, and lost the use of his right side temporarily. He dragged him self down stairs sand then summoned Mrs. Ivers who called Dr. J. H. D. Budau. The physician attended him at his home until Tuesday when he advised the patients removal to St. Vincent's hospital. He entered that institution Tuesday April IT, and his

 Today Lyons was sentenced to Jail for 15 days and fined S5 and costs for hurling a brick through a window of William O'Hara's restaurant in Wall street, and for striking OHara's broth er-in-law, Tim Sullivan, on the head with a pacing block

IN BREEZY LETTER TO DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE THAYER
 ALSO ASKS "WHY?''
Hints at Cash and Inqures "Has Anybody Here Seer
 Lorimer?' but Promises More Dignity Later

prowl around after information on this subject until I learn for sure whether SenatorShips in Connecticut Gas in Illinois) go to the highest bid der or whether these plain people whom Lincoln loved and who lived Lincoln, are still to be reckoned with.
 "AS I contemplate my little outing on politicians day I am reminded that Mantle is the mecca not of soldiers and politicians alone. Just back from spiritualists of the state are encamp- ed. Here shades of the departed lift the veil to give us comfort, instruc- tion and wisdom. And should the writer fail in the military camp to learn from what source Bulkeley gain ed his apparent right and title in and to aforesaid seats in the United States Senate with power to promise, deal in, give, distribute and withhold the same at will, he, there, if possible, to call from the land of shades some of the spookerinos like the late lamented Representative of the express com panies in the Senate, the one time Senatorial elections, and learn there from how and when and where, and by virtue of what law, temporal or spiritual, was effected the transfer over to Bulkeley of the right and the power to select their own represen- tatives.
 '"The writer notices that some of the editors charge him with lack of dig nifty in his search for Democracy, the causes of it's decay in Connecticut, and the straight road to the Senate. Short of dignity but long of Democracy is the writer to be sure. However. when hereafter he attempts to describe his visit to the spirit camp he will sum- mon all of his dignity, for even now, levity sneaks away as in imagination he hears the sigh of the pines, feels soft breezes from spirit wings and chills playing tag along his spine.
 By the way has anybody here seen Lorimer? (Signed), Charles F. Thayer."
 BULKELEY SILENT.
