He the Bridgeport hospital. The body was removed to the mortuary chapel of Antonio Abrila. Relatives insisted that the funeral be at his home and wishes were granted. The two front doors of the house were taken from hinges so the coffin, weighing, with the body, nearly 700 pounds might be taken into the building. There were ten pallbearers and five straps, each held by five men, were used to lower the coffin into the grave in St. Michael's cemetery. Difficulty was encountered in carry- ing the coffin from the house and other mourners assisted the pall- brearers, so that twenty men at one time were conveving the body, De Blasio was the fortieth pneu- monia victim in a month.

THOMAS CONLIN AND FAMILY. FIERGE BATTLE NEAR RUMANIAN FRONTIER {Russians Blow in First Line German Trenches Jan. 6, 5:15 p. m.—Fighting | on the Russian. front near the Ru- manian frontier is fast growing in intensity and assuming great ferocity, says the Petrograd correspondent of the Havas Agency in a despatch filed Wednesday. Despatches from Kiev declare that the noise of cannon can be heard along a distance of thirty-six miles and that windows in all the villages in this region have been broken by the concussions. The battle is rag- ing with particular fury on the front, where more than 800,000 men, with 00 cannon are incessantly engaged. Long Austro-German red cross trains are for more re- mote and thinly populated towns where hospitals have been organized. Russians Are Advancing, Wounded Russian officers report that consequences of this battle al- ready are being shown in certain tions by the blowing in of first line and the slow but ir- an forces. The same officers tell of enormous dif- ian have had to mount on this rront, ments of barbed wire are often laid twenty four deep and charged with powerful electric currents supplied from stations especially erected. An immediate approach to these entanglements is impossible, the Rus- sian soldiers have invented the fol- lowing method of surmounting the difficulty, (Good marksmen fling ropes with hooks at the ends over the barbed wire, then pull until they have broken one of the line of wire and continue this method until the whole entanglement is removed Russians Rout Austrians. London, Jan. 7, 11:57 a. m.,—Ac- cording to official advices from Vien- na, the fighting on the eastern front has decreased in violence, the Rus- sians having ceased to attack with vigor hetween the Pripet and the Bessarabian frontier. The only gain officially announced for the Russians vesterday was at Czarto the scene of many sanguinary struggles where, it is said the Austrians were driven from the cemetery. An advance in this region will threaten Kovel, one of the strongest Austro-German positions. It is be- lieved that even though no further gain should be made Russia’s forces have attained a position which will give the nation a degree of power in the Balkan affairs it has not had since its armies were driven back from tho Carpathians. Teutons Threaten Allics. The Teutonic allies still threaten to expel the French and British from their Macedonia positions but no fo ward move has been detected thus far in that direction. Strong Turkish forces are said to be concentrating on the Thracian frontier of Greece, and it is suggested the Turks may attempt to make good some of the territorial losses they suffered during the Balkan wars.
