JOSEPH l.. BARBOUR.

It Is a long time since New Brit
 died suddenly in his law office ir
 Hartford yesterday. He was a resi- dent in this city forty years ago and served in the common council in 1875 with such men as Ambrose Beatty
 Professor D. N. Camp, V. B.. Cham berlain, Henry Tolles, Fred A. Berg,
 William Bingham, Robert Bissell
 John Brown. Lewis Cobey, Fred FL singer John Garvey, Arthur Grumbt, William s. Judd, Anthony Keough. Joshua R. King, Patrick McCabe, Q. l Rentschler and Henry C. Williams Councilman Barbour was mem Der of ability, and while the bus mess of the council was very light at the time, yet there was much con- structive work to be done and the councilman was among those who had an alert mind and was prompt to recognize the right thing to do. He was associated, as the list shows in the council at that time, with some of the young city's leading citizens, two of whom afterwards became head of the city government, one of those, Professor Camp being still living. It was in 1875 when the republicans nominated F. L. Hungerford- for city attorney, the democrats declining to name any candidate, believing that Heman H. Barbour a brother of Councilman Barbour, might have 2. chance. From the time the repub- lican caucus was held until the mat ter came up in the council there was talk of a bolt and when MT. Hunger lords name was presented, Council man Barbour substituted the name of his brother, the democrats sup ported it and gave him the election by vote of II to g. The latter, however, served but one year and some time later became a minister.
 Councilman Barbour soon became

He was 1 therefore, well known here, and through all the years that passed be- tween his residence in this city and the hour when he was so suddenly called away yesterday he had a long , list of friends who rejoiced with him in his successes and who were sorry 1 when they heard of his death. Hc l Was popular in Hartford and it is i being recalled that when he ran for the legislature in that city he re- ceived a remarkably large vote He was chosen speaker of the house and the quickneSs with which he recOg- rized the various members of that body early in the session suggested what a great memory he had, and the promptness which he decided points of order made him not only an efficient speaker but an extreme ly interesting one as well.

They arrested q man in Yonllers

They arrested man in Yonkers last week for wearing a straw hat on the streets thereby causing a crowd to collect and Obstructng traffic. Be tween the lively interest taken by citizens of the nourshng suburb in the garb of their neighbors and the zeal of it's officers of the law. it is evident that in YonkerS. at least it isn't safe to take liberties with the conventions in matters of dress. It is a fact that in the land of freedom there are any number of trivial mat ters in which the liberty of man 10 do as he pleases is very effectively limited,-Bridgepor Standard.
