East Chicago lost: one of Its pioneer eitliens last nlsht when John M. Brennell, who brought his family to this city on a hand-car, former politician and, one of the trustees on the . -first town board which governed East Chicago, died sudde-nly and alone in the. Harrison school building:, of which he has been Janitor for the past ten years. His death occurred some time between 6 p. m. when he left his home in Baring; avenue near 145th street, to go to the school to bank his fires, and 10:3? when his body was found cold and jifeless by his 'son, -John. The aged man had fallen before th furnace which he ad attended so faithfully throughout a decade, and when a physician arrived In response to the son's frantic appeal, it ii announced that Mr. Brennell had been dead for at least two hours. John, th son. went to Hammond last evening and returned home about 10:30 o'clock. His mother informed him tha. hia father had not returned from the school. The younger man immediately-

left for the school and found hla father

as stated. He immediately summoned VT. 11. Jcppeson. president of the school board, who In turn called Superintendent Canine. Dr. A. A. Ross was the phy-

sieian summoned. The body was taken to Stuart's undertaking rooms in Ham- j mond, where an Inquest will be heid to-

day. The deceased leaves besides his widow, two children, John the son. and a daughtr. Mrs. Waiter Stratford of North Baring avenue. There was another daughter but she is dead. Mrs. Stratford wat the first school teacher in Kast Chicago and taught lw the, old city hall. t ' Mr. Brennell had not been very well for some time. He had been takinr treatment in- Chicago of late and seemed to have been afflicted with a complication of disorders. "While the caus? of death wi!l not be known until after the autopsy, it believed to have been due to heart failure. The deceased who would have been 7t years of age had he lived until Jan. 22 was born in Ohio near Cincinnati and had lived part of his life in Missouri. By trade- he was an engineer. Jo member oT his family could be reached this morning who knew exac'iy the year Mr. Brennel! came to this city, but te was one o! the very earliest se"tlers here. - . , Superintendent E. X. Canine paid the aged school employe a high tribute thij morning. "In all the eight years I have known Tilm." said he, I have found him absolutely - h-onest to .the core. I may say I have never known a more honor

able man, nor a man more faithful to

his duty, than was Mr. Brennell. He eou-ld Bt-htve looked after hi own personal Interests with more fidelity than he served the public. I am deeply sorry he is goine." Gts Nelson of Baring avenue ha3 been secured in the place of the af Mr. Brennell to act as janitor of th-j Harrison building. He and Superintendent Canine and Mr. Jeppeson worked until 2 o'clock this morning restoring the fires that had smouldered almost out in" the school furnace, but this

There are also many new departures at the Garden hall now and most of the old waltzes have been discarded. Music Is furnished by at orchestra, a couple of cow bells and a very loud drum. Noise that this combination produces is quite esentlal for the new 'continuous hugging dances" which seem to be the most popular. tok Out For the Cop." One policeman was on guard Saturday night and when he was In sight the dance, even the "bear hug" and the "turkey .trot hug" was conducted on a little more formal lines but there was such a wide deviation from the conventions that a repetition of the performance elsewhere might result in a police raid and a carting away of lot of the performed "to the police station. When the policeman wa sout of sight the danetng was a little faster and It was sugested to bystanders that if they wanted to see the fun that they should get over in he corner and away from he door.
