Mrs. Rachel Townsend passed away at her home at Lockport, N. Y., recently. She was an estimable lady, the wife of .Rev. Sheldon C. Townsend, formerly a resident of New Haven and a much esteemed citizen. Mr, Sheldon is now in his eighty-second year. The Niagara Falls Gazette . of December 1st says : The funeral of the late Mrs. Rachel Town send, wife of Rev. 8. C. Townsend, took place at Dickersonville last Friday afternoon. A large number of neighbors and friends of the deceased were present to testify their love for a most estimable lady. Among others were several well known Tuscaroras, some of whom had been great friends of the deceased and her husband for over half a century. They testified their love in the most marked manner for one who had often done them acts of kindness in their more youthful days. In the audience was Mr. Thomas F. Fool, who has resided in the neighborhood almost seventy years (having just passed his eigh tieth birthday), and was next neighbor to the deceased for nearly sixty years. Several others, nearly as old, neighbors, were pres ent, making it altogether rather remarka ble occasion. A Braheman's Lg Cat off The Case Prob ably Fatal. Yesterday afternoon at about 4 o'clock Timothy Mahoney, aged about 30 years, who has a father, mother and brother at Westfield, Mass., and was formerly a brakeman on the New Haven A Northampton railroad, in at tempting to jump on a switching engine which was in motion on the Water street crossing, lost his foothold and fell under the engine, No. 3G. The engine passed over, one of his legs below the knee and nearly severed it. Dr. F. H. Whittemore was called and the injured man was removed to the hospital, where bis leg was amputated by Dr. Bacon just above the knfe. At 8 o'clock last even ing he was alive but sinking, and his death was momentarily expected. In his pockets was found a certificate of discharge from the position of brakeman on the Canal road coupled with a recommendation for faithful service, dated last August.,., It was reported that he had just returned from a visit to his relatives in Westfield, and that his home i Bridgeport." Superintendent Starkweather telegraphed the sad news to Mahoney 's broth er in Westfield. . ; . , . The laying of the track of the New. York New England railroad between Waterbury and Danbury is about complete. ( The Election. llobertson Elected by KIs;hten Hundred and Six Majority The Whole Demo cratic Town Ticket Elected A Gain of Two Councilmen in the Second Loss of an Alderman In the Second A Deino cratia Tie in the Seventh. . The election yesterday resulted in the en tire success of the Democratic ticket. Dr. Robertson is elected Mayor by 1,806 majori ty. We gain two Councilmen in the Second ward, electing all three on the Republican ticket, viz., Lewis Elliott, Dennis A. Blakes- lee and George E. Maltby, while we lose an Alderman in the same ward, Richmond W. Armstrong, dem., of the Armstrong firm of shipping merchants, succeeding Charles P. Armstrong, rep., a member of the same firm, and defeating the Republican nominee. There was a Democratic tie in the Seventh ward, an Alderman. This will require a new election in this ward, and the battle will have to be fought over again on this question in this Democratic stronghold. There were three Democratic tickets run in this ward, and the contest was warm all day as the most casual observer could not fail to have seen. Quiet hardly reigned until after midnight, so potent was the influence of the local contest, before which the main issues paled. In the Ninth ward four tickets were run, Joseph Sheldon, rep., the well known attorney, be ing elected, but a written protest from two of the Democratic counters m this ward, John F. Donahue and John F. Moore, was entered at the return of the vote, because four ballots were cast for John H. Bouton which they claimed were meant for John H. Barlow, and ' 48 Greenback ballots 'were thrown out from some cause not stated. The Board of Councilmen stands a tie on joint ballot, and the Board of Aldermen has a Democratic majority of four. As before stated, the entire Democratic town ticket is elected. The city officers chosen are : Robertson, Mayor ; James P. Pigott, City Clerk ; Charles Kimberly re elected Auditor (on both tickets), H. M. Welch re-elected treasurer (on both tickets); and Hollis (on both tickets) re-elected sheriff. The Republican Aldermen elected are Wil liam K. Townsend, attorney ; Captain Frank W. Tiesiag (re-elected), Joseph Sheldon, at torney; John P. Studley, attorney; David C. Burwell. The Selectmen elected are James Reynolds, Mr. Cooper of Westville, F. S. Andrew and Philip Hugo, Democrats, all re elected, and Louis Feldman, Franklin H. Hart, re-elected, and A. Foote, a former member of the Board. Theodore A. Tuttle is elected collector of taxes and John Shuster is re-elected. Town Clerk. The returns were received at the usual place, the First ward polls, in the room un der Feck's Grand Opera House, and were not all received until about midnight. Mr. George C. Kimberly was town mode rator and Mr. Alexander McAlister city mod erator. The room was thronged until eleven o'clock, at which hour it became clearly ap parent how the case stood, and then the throng thinned out rapidly. A number of the candidates for town officers were present awaiting the turning point in the returns, which would decide their case. Shortly after 12 the result was announced as to the town vote by the town moderator, as had been previously done an hour before as to the city vote by the city modera tor and the election was over. The Constables. The constables elected are as follows Daniel Col well, Phillip Roller, Marcus Sch wed, William Higgins, Jacob Mailhouse, Michael R. Enscoe, David KT Andrews. The License Vote. The vote on the license question shows 3, 316 in favor of license and 954 no-license votes. The license votes in the Sixth and Thirteenth wards were not returned. Chips.' The whole number of votes cast was 9,502. Among the incidents of the election was the voting, on the Citizens' ticket, as one of tha packers, for the name of Austin Hurlburt, who, if we are correctly informed, died about three months ago. Another incident was the casting of one vote in the Sixth ward for Sarah Bernhardt, showing how strong a hold the fascinating actress already has upon some New Haven mind. Another was the marching to the station house, by Officer Doherty, of one belligerent and bellicose Seventh warder, whose progress from the polls to the station house was at tended for a great part of the road by quite a throng of hilarious people. Funeral of a Lad. The funeral of Charles, son of Mr. Fuller ton, of the Chapel street firm of Fullerton, Bradbury & Co., took place yesterday after noon from the residence of the bereaved pa rents, No. 287 York street. Prayer was pf fered by the Rev. Dr. Dennen. Many friends and neighbors were present. The lad was promising boy, the eldest, of three children. and an attendant at Dwight school. He was taken sick about three weeks ago and mem braneous croup set in, which terminated his life. The remains lay in a beautiful casket of lavender broadcloth, Messrs. Newton Keiler, undertakers, officiating, draped out side with white silk and trimmed with white lace, with handles of silk and adorned with knots of lovely white roses and japonicas. Overhead on the chandelier rested a white dove with poised wings, with smilax depend ing to the casket. On the hd was a center plate with the initials of the deceased, C. A. F., and the age, 8 years and 7 months, and at each end a plate respectively inscribed "Our Charlie" and "We Miss You." Inside the oasket was upholstered in brocade and blue silk, with trimmings of embroidered lace The casket rested upon a beautiful pedestal richly covered with silk. The remains were taken to South Abingdon, Mass., the former home of Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton, going by the midnight train. In their sad loss they have the deep sympathy of many y friends in this their new home. Killed by the Cars Death of an Old Citi sen. Mr. James L. Burnett, a man of 78 years of age, was run over and killed yesterday morning by the 10:15 train from New York while crossing the railroad track at the curve near the car shops of the N. Y., N. H. and Hartford road. He apparently supposed he had time to cross. The entire train passed over him and he was nearly cut in twain. The remains were removed to the morgue. The deceased years ago worked in the car shops of the Consolidated road. He had for some time past suffered with cancers, which grew on the back near the shoulder blades, and at different times he had several removed. He had just returned from visiting his son in Cheshire, Frank Burnett, station agent for the Canal railroad at that place, and he had just left an old friend with whom he had been having a talk about getting a temporary boarding place. A son, James H. Burnett, is engineer at James Graham & Co.'s on Wooster street. A son, Preston B., lives in Bridgeport. He leaves also two daughters. The home of the deceased was in Falls Village, but he had been visiting here for about a year past getting medical attendance. Later accounts show that after having start ed to cross the track he became aware of the proximity of the train, and in his dismay and confusion attempted to retrace bis steps, while had he kept on instead of turning back he would undoubtedly have crossed safely. The engineer did not see him, but chancing to look down out of his cab window, saw the head of deceased projecting out under the driving wheel. The deceased was somewhat deaf.. There will be no. funeral services in this city, but the remains will be taken to Madison, N. J., where the deceased has two daughters residing, and where he will -be buried by the side of his wife, who died about four years ago. Deceased had been in the employ of the New York road for about 30 years, 25 of which in the shops of the road in this city, and previously he helped build the section of the road between Green wich and Portchester. Miss Mary Edna Taylor, of New Canaan, a graduate of Pennington Seminary, sailed as a missionary for Madras, India, October 30th, and has just left Liverpool, via Calcutta, for her future home. She goes out under the auspices of Rev. Win. Taylor's independent mission. Voto of tfie Town rrhe candidates designated 1. it. 3. for town asbnt. James Reynolds, d".. v . Louis Feldmar r. .

Seventeen Dayf to CKristntas The near approach of the merry and hal lowed festival fills all hearts and hands with glad activity. Willing, deft and nimble fin gers are everywhere engaged in fashioning the tokens of love and friendship to be be stowed upon dear friends. Warm hearts are planning comforts, pleasures and joys for the weary and unfortunate. The shops and stores are filled with objects to attract the eye and please the taste of the throngs of eager buyers. At sucn a time it is desirable to know as nearly as possible just where one may find the very center of attraction, and we think we may safely say it is at Cutler's art store. Here may be found a large stock of the finest engravings, many of them ar lasts' proofs of new subjects, fine photographs from paintings by the best modern pointers. A special collection of elegant colored photo graphs, colored by the eminent Joseph Wil son of London, and framed witn exquisite taste, at prices ranging from ten or fifteen dollars np to seventy-five dollars ; cnanning little panel pictures on easels, with a great variety of other pictures of all ' sizes, styles and prices. Mr. Cutler also shows a large and fine stock of ebony, mahogany and oak cabinets, ebony stands, pedestals and easels of elegant design and line workmanship, with glass, china, porcelain and brass bric-a-brac for then; proper adornment. Mr. Cutler is also sole agent for the sale of the famous Rogers groups, costing from $10 to $25 each, and ne tnis year introduces a new line of beauti ful statuettes, similar in appearance to the Rogers groups but in smaller size, and cost ing from $2.50 to $8 each. These statuettes are designed to meet a want that has long been .felt, and are hailed with gladness by numerous customers. It is especially worthy of notice that Mr. Cutler has this year selected, with the greatest care and dis crimination, a very large line of tasteful ar ticles at low prices, realizing that there are many occasions when buyers, no matter how wealtny or liberal they may be, wish to select very simple, inexpensive but tasteful gifts. Much care and thought has been devoted to tins new departure, but not at allt the ex pense of lowering the high standard of for mer years in his exhibition of the choicest, most elegant and expensive goods. A visitor, to be convinced of this, will need but to glance at his magnificent stock of Limoges Faience Vases, Jars, Urns, Jardinieres and Placqnes, his French Porcelain Vases and flacques, his elegant specimens of nearly all kimd of modern Faience as well as ancient and oriental goods. A word to the wise should be sufficient, therefore we simply add tnat no one can afford to omit early and fre quent visits to this store. No one should de lay making selections from its elegant stock till it is so thronged that care and deliberation in selecting will be impossible. Carriage Repairing Horse Shoeing.
