A SOLEMN OCCASION.
The Funeral or Rev. Mir. Home.
Late
m. K. Pastor In Southport.
There was a very large attendance at the
Methodist church in Southport yesterday at
the funeral of the late pastor of that church,
Eev. J. W. Home, who was killed on the
track Saturday by the cars. Many from
other places including Bridgeport, Sonthing
ton, Waterbury and nearer towns were in
the audience. - The exercises were very sol
emn and impressive. Ex-Presiding Elder
Hill, of RidgefieW, -conducted the services.
Presiding Elder Mains and many clergymen
were present. Deceased was born in the
Island of Jamaica, W. I., in 1833, and re
sided there many years. Reaching the United
States, he devoted himself to study, entered
Wesleyan university, Middletown, and grad
uated there with the degree of A. M. In
1852 he was sent missionary to Liberia, and
was made president of the college at Mora
via, remaining there five years. While
there the degree LL. D. was conferred upon
him. Returning he became pastor of
church at Fair Haven from '57 to '49 and
from '60 to '61 was stationed at Redding.
From '64 to '65 he officiated at Birmingham,
and from '67 to '69 p New York. In 1870
he went to Europe, traveled in Egypt and
the Holy Land. He was contributor to the
Christian Advocate and Science Herald.
One of his latest articles was in the Advo
cate of August 21, descriptive of an earth
quake occurring while he was in the Ber
mudas years ago, and which was suggested
by tne disturbance or Ssunday, Aug. 1U.
For many months he has had a premonition
that sudden death would overtake him, and
it is a singular fact that just before leaving
his home he remarked upon his chosen
theme and spoke of life's uncertainties. Mr.
Horn settled in Southport about two and a
half years ago, having previously performed
church work on Long Island.. On reaching
home after the accident the pockets of de
ceased were searched and a religious poem
which he had written was found. It was
read at the funeral yesterday. The father
and one brother of deceased were clergymen,
and his son, Mr. George H. Home, a printer
of New York, declared yesterday that he had
resolved Co embrace the sacred calling. De
ceased was held in esteem by all.'

drowned while bathing in the Diamond Match
company's pond inWestville, just below the
dam." He was accompanied by a younger
boy. Neither could swim. The elder ven
tured out over his depth and drowned. Med

at the match factory and lived with his wid
owed mother on the Snow farm.
New Switch.
A new interlocking switch is to be erected
soon at the north end of the depot by the
New York, New Haven and Hartford R. B.
A signal tower wiU be built and the switch
operated by a man in the tower. The great
beauty of this new arrangement is its preven
tion of collisions. If the switch is set for
certain train, all other trains are cut off.
the engineer fails to observe the' signal,
simply runs off the track and does not col
lide with any other train. When one switch
is set the others are changed at the same
time. It is expected it will take fuUy two
months to have the switch in running order.
One of the switches is in operation at Cos
Cob and the company are weU satisfied with
its workings. Bridgeport Farmer.

Died or a Cat's Bite.
William M. Lamb, of Ledyard, was great
ly annoyed by woodchucks that nipped his
vegetables and raced over bis lots. A week
or ten days ago he set a trap for them. : Next
morning he found his pet cat in the trap,
In releasing the animal it bit his foot.
Mr. Lamb died from the effects of the injury
in less than a week. The limb presented
most horrible appearance. Death resulted
from blood poisoning.
Young men Should OTarry.
The Rev. Father McGuire gave young men
some excellent advice in his sermon before
the mission in St. Francis' church Sunday
evening. He adjured them especiaUy to be
ware of the temptations with which they are
surrounded, to avoid evil companions, to
have the courage of their convictions, to
eschewlsaloons and drinking spirituous liquors
to excess. He urged the young men with
great earnestness to get married, advising
them that marriage was the only safeguard
to many of the temptations of the day. In
speaking of the frequenting of saloons, he
alluded to the fact that, without looking at
it from a spiritual standpoint, they ought to
be convinced by their common sense and the
testimony of their eyes that it was the evil of
the day and was preventing them from hav
ing at the end of every year the comfortable
little pile of money hoarded up that they
otherwise would have.

.Police Notes.
On the 30th of August two young men
aided Mr. Pansback, a sailor who lives in
Fair Haven East, home from a down town
saloon, in a slightly inebriated condition.
When they left him nis. gold watch, worth
$75, was missing. Yesterday a newsboy,
Morris Sheehan, of 210 Hamilton street,
found the watch in front of a building in the
Annex, and gave it up to the police, who re
stored it to its owner. There is not sufficient
proof to warrant the arrest of the young men
for theft.
A combat which assumed a very close re
semblance to a slugging match quickly at
tracted a numerous crowd yesterday morn
ing in front of Sammy Mann's lunch room in
Orange street. Thomas H. Moloney, a young
man of stalwart physical proportions, ob
tained a breakfast in the restaurant ana re
fused to pay for it. Detective Brewer arses t
ed Moloney and the latter settled and then
commenced abusing the officer. Brewer start
ed to take the delinquent to the station house
when he showed fight. The officer finally
got his man down and held him until the
patrol wagon arrived and he was then taken
o the station house. . .
John Collins and Hugh Heenan were ar
rested I8 night for fighting in Pugilist
Sweeney'8 saloon on Grand street and were
locked u 'a in the precinct station.
A itoys Singular Disease.
Joseph S. C. Rowland, aged twelve, Son of
Dr. Rowland, ot Hartford, died very sudden
ly Saturday rright, after two hours of the
most excruciating pain. An autopsy revealed
an immense cancer, weighing four pounds,
sorrounding theheivrt. It had its formation
in the thymus gland, an organ which is sup
posed to cease its functions at puberty.
The heart had been compressed into one
half its normal size and the left lung was
badly crushed. It is believed that the action
of the cancer was the severest towards the
end, hence the pain the boy suffered.
The physicians were greatly surprised at
the result of the autopsy, as the presence of
a cancer was wholly unexpected,- and least of
all on the gland mentioned. On consulting
tne nignest authority last evening no ami lar
case could be found. The case will be writ
ten up for several medical journals, and
without doubt will bring forth considerable
discussion. . The cancer is now in tne pos
session of Dr. Knight.

Her Two Husbands Drowned Near the
Same Spot. .
James Quintan, aged 50, a resident of Port
land, was token with cramps and drowned
while bathing in the Connecticut " river last
Sunday. He leaves a widow and five chil
dren. A singular fatality made Quinlan's
death occur by the same means and near the
same spot as his wife's first husband named
Sweeny many years ago.
We will receive this morning 150 baskets
of extra fine yellow Crawford and Jersey
Rare Ripe Peaches, the best there have been

on Church street in. Hoadley building next

first-class tonsorial establishment can be

Humor In the Stomach.
Much of the distress and sickness attribu
ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea and other
causes is occasioned by humor in the stom
ach. Several cases, with all the character
istics of these complaints, have been cured
by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected
-by this medicine are so wonderful that the
simplest statement of them affords the best
proof that it combines rare curative agents,
and when once , used secures the confidence
of the people.
This is the time of the year for the alma
nacs to swarm with alternate pages of dough
nut recipes and corn killer remedies. The
Lewis Red Jacket Bitters pamphlet describes
important diseases and their symptoms in so
plain and instructive a manner that they are
eagerly read- from the first to the last pages
for the information they contain. Ask your
druggist for one. " sUXu&sat
To Xlie Ladles.
Why do you use those injurious cosmetics,
lotions and face powders when you can ob-"
tain Pearl's White Glycerine, the great com
plexion beautifier, of your druggist? It is
perfectly harmless.

DRESS GOODS.
New Dress Goods are arriving, daily not in large quantities bnt enough of them to
satisfy the present demaand. One thing about these early arrivals that attracts is the low
prices at which they are offered. We bring them in now to help sell the Summer stock on
hand, that has been already reduced "to half cost, and of course the new goods must be
marked low, or they would be out of place.
