Mr. J.F. Williston of this city, for some years employed by the Hartford Coal Company, died at his home, 24 East Street, yesterday morning. He had an attack of paralysis on the cars going to Bristol on Saturday on business, and when he reached there he could only say that something ailed him and he must return. He came home and became insensible.

He was a veteran of the war and served three years in the Fourteenth Connecticut. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at his residence at 2:30 o'clock.
