Bridgeport Young Man Noted for Athletic AttainmentS
 SuccumbS.

After a long illness, Michael Henry Lynch, eldest son of Ellen and the late Thomas Lynch of GIT Noble ave- nue, died just before midnight Sat urday.
 Despite his protracted i'll health, friends of MT. Lynch were scarcely prepared for his death and it came a distinct shock to all. Hundreds are mourning him today.
 Michael H. Lynch was a, native of this city and during the years of his young manhood was known through ising backstops of his day. His when he handled the curves and Malone, Billy Lush and others of the later when he off1ciated in a profes- siona1 capacity for the Victor team of Bridgeport in the old ''Naugy'' Valley league. His prowess was not con- fined alone to his activities on the dia- mond for he was equally as proficient in other branches of athletic endeav- or, especially in football, in which he exceIed. A young man of splendid physique and fine habits he appeared destined for fame and fortune in the baseball world when his health began to give way.
 At the advice of his physician he retired from those pastimes which had overtaxed his strength and after a per- iod spent in recuperation apparently came unto his own again. Having in the meantime, passed the civil service

Al FIRE ExTINGUIsHER.

Captain Manby. of the British navy, has invented a machine. with which a single individual may extinguIsh a conhagration. It is filled with 3, fluid composed of anti-phlogistic ingredi- ents This fluid extinguishes, wher- ever it falls, the most ardent flames. The liquid contained in one of these pumps, has as great effect as 12O kbuckets of water A case containing three of these pumps, composes the whole of the rnachiney being three feet ling, two feet in breadth and one foot in depth.

Returning home just before Christmas last he felt much encour- aged but the ravages of the excessive winter told upon his already depict ed vitality and a, heavy cold which he contracted a few weeks ago proved more than his weakened constitution could stand.
 He had a talent for painting por- traits in oil and some of his crayon drawings won much commendatton from those competent to pass judg- ment upon his work. Upright and manly in his dealings with his fellow men he retained the affection of those whose friendship was worth Wh1le There are many in Bridgeport who, knowing of the game fight he was making to win back his health will hear with sincere regret of his pass ing. His funeral will be held to- m morrow morning from St. Charles where a solemn requiem mass will be chanted.
