and abroad and one of his teachers on the piano was Rubens tein. He played with famous musicians in most of the countries of Europe. He was intimate with most of the men who have been numbered among the musical princes of the world in the last 30 years. Among those who were his friends were Rubenstein, Paderewski, Theo- dore Thomas and the Damrosches. Paderewski he once entertained in his home in this city.
 For a time he accepted professor ship in the music department of Yale University, with which he had since always been connected, though on ac- count of i'll health he had not been able to do active teaching for a number of years.
 But he always displayed most ac- tive interest in the success of the de- partment and his gifts to it were gen. erous. Because of his musical genius and his work at Yale and the music department of Yale he was given degree by the university, of which he was justly proud.
 During the last few years of his life, even when not in good health, he as- sisted in founding a musical institute in New York city of which Prof. Dam
 one of a number of wealthy men who contributed literally to finance 
 the institution.
 He was throughout his life patron of music and many struggling young musicians have been generously help ed by him to musical education. His generosity in this city and elsewhere has also been evident in other ways, although his benevolences were always quietly administered.
 He inherited the bulk of his fathers property, whose fortune amounted to several millions, and was one Of the largest property owners in Bridgeport He is survived by two children, H Sanford, of New York city and Mrs
 George Sheffield of New London, and by several grand children. one o1 whom he carries his grandfather's name as Samuel s. Sanford, second. Two of his uncles. Jesse L.. Sanford and John S. Sanford are still residents in, Bedding, also an aunt, Miss Julia H. Sanford.
 Among the property owned by him is the building occupied by the How land Dry Goods Co. of which cor poration he was a member, and one of its directors.

IMPORTANT FEATURE Boys Club to be Developed Along Educational
 Lines.
Of a Nature Entirely Differ= ent From at Present in

The states trade school which is to
 be opened shortly in John street is
 not to be the only school of it's kind
 in the city for the incorporators and
 directors of the Bridgeport Boys club
 at their annual meeting and banquet
 on January IA at the Stratfield will
 make plans for the institution of
 classes in the English branches and light trades at the club house at Gold
 and Middle streets.
 The management of the club feels
 that the multitude of boys aged IA years and 15 years who are wage earn

 ing, arithmetic, and geography. As for the light trades, so-called, the
 work will probably be advanced kin
 dergarten work instructing the menl- bers in wood and metal working. In addition to the institution of the school the directors will consider a re- quest of the West End Boys club for consolidation. The West End organi- zation which has grown rapidly and is established for the same purposes at the older institution feels that it needs the protection and help of the down town club.
 There is also a great need for a club in the East End and if the West
 End club is taken under the wing ot the older organization the matter of another branch in the East End will be considered.
 The officers of the organization are President Thomas F. Taylor, Vice President Henry A. Bishop, Second Vice-President Frank T. Staples; Sec
 retary J. H. Crossley; Treasurer Ho-
 bart B. French. There are 20 mem bers of the board of directors includ- 1 ing the officers and it is understood l that the majority are in favor of broadening the work which in the past has kept up club house for the boys, with a gymnasium, games, libra rv and occasional antert aiumentS.

The present winter has been the hardest the Connecticut Co. has exper- fenced since it took hold of the lines of the old Connecticut Railway & Lighting Co.
 When the company took hold Bridge port had only 50 closed cars, and the present management having increased the number to 130 is trying to care for them in the same storage space.
 Many of the cars had to be repaired in the open until the snow came, and now when the snow has increased the number of cripples the repair work has to be indoors with no greater fa- cilities than there was when there were only 50 cars being operated.
 The giving out of the motors of the old cars has made the company short on regular cars to say nothing of pro- viding the extras when the crowds are going and coming from work
 In it's effort to keep cars running the company yesterday was obliged to run out five or six unvestibuled cars

A moment laters Mrs. Cienni heard two shots and then third. and the two men quietly emerged from the bedroom, each carrying a smoking re- volver. The third man joined them and they left the house at once.
 When Mrs. Cienni went to her hus- bands bedroom, she found him dead with two bullets in his heart and one wound through his chest.
 Two years ago Cienni received a blackhand letter threatening him with death unless he turned $5,O00 over to an agent of the society. Cienni ig- nored the threat.

 of the old open front type. The problem of getting men in Bridgeport to run the cars is due to the fact that the factories have been offering jobs to men where they get , shorter hours six days a week Tine trolleyman's job requires seve.4 days work every week. and the wages are not attractive
 Following the taking hold of the lines by the Connecticut Co. three years ago there was a tightness of the money market followed by the hard times which played havoc with the business on the Bridgeport lines. The riding dropped off 50 per cent. Within the past six months the rid ing on the cars has been larger than ever before in the history of the lines. But little has been done to meet the increased traffic.
