An Old Confidence Game.

How it Worked on a COuntrYman-
 The ROgue and his Pal in the Lock
 up.
 Yesterday man by the name of Silas Car rington came to this city from Bristol for the purpose of selling cider. In his perambula- tions about town he fell in with George Mun- son, who is we'll known among the sporting fraternity in this city, and Edward Glasheill, who halls from Providence, R. I. Munson volunteered to show Darlington where he could sell some cider, and the trio started for the billiard room in the building corner of Church and Grown streets. In going up the stairs, Munson, who was slightly in advance, dropped an ordinary playing card, which had been previously folded up, inside being placed a three cent piece. As the cider dealer and Glasheill passed along, the latter picked up the card and commenced to unfold it. 'tHal- To !" he says ''here is three cent piece. , ''There is another three cent piece there" !" said the ''pal." ''No there ain't,'' says Mun- son, and the cider dealer was of the same opinion. ''Wen," " says GlasheiIl, 'tTn bet a hundred dollars that there is another three cent piece in that card, i" and Darlington takes the bet, the money being placed in Monsons hand. Turning over the card, part ot which had been carefully split with knife, another three cent piece was disclosed The cider dealer had lost the bet, so Munson passed over the money to Glasheill. A sec- ond later and the Providence man was in the strong grasp of the country farmer ''Hold on," says the confidence man, eff you are going to make fuss will give you back your money" But the old farmer would not have it; he held on until Officer Beegan ar- rived and then handed over his prisoner to him. Glasheill was taken to the station house and locked up after the money had been taken from him. Munson escaped at the time, but last evening was arrested and locked up.
 This is an old confidence game that used to be played greal deal on countrymen in New York and other cities, and it is surprising that any one should be duped in this way at the present day.

The Hayden Case.

The Talk About Q New Trfal-What
 the Lawyers Say. Some of the New York morning papers have published special dispatches to the effect that Hayden is to be tried again in short time, that expert testimony will not be taken in the trial, and that not more than ten days will be consumed in hearing the case
 The State Attorney, Mr. Doolittle, had read
 the dispatch in the Herald. He knew noth- l ing about re-trial. The other statements,
 that a new trial would last only ten or twelve days and that much of the expert
 testimony would be eliminated-in short, that the States case would be presented differently-are the same in essence as were | made by Judge Harrison at the close of the l last trial.
 Judge Harrison was in New York yester- day, and MT. Zacher, his associate, stated that
 there was no possibility of new trial at once, l so far as he knew. This re-trial has all along | been contemplated by the public to be i'm practicable unless in the event of discovery of new evidence, and this discovery no one | claims. The frank assertion by Judge Har- ! rison that 1t was not probable that jury
 could be obtained at present who would | either acquit or convict the accused. remains
 an objection now as much as when it was ut tered.
 | MT. Jones of Hartford, of MT. Hayden's counsel, says there is no truth in the report. State Attorney Waller informs the New
 Lodon Telegram that he had not been advised of new trial and doubts if it has been decid- | ed on. He believes, however. that Hayden
 will be re-tried, and that the next trial will be | very short in comparison with the first one.
 The expert testimony will be rehearsed, but it will be more concisely stated and day will
 suffice for hearing testimony that consumed | four days on the first trial There will be no points of law to be argued at the new trial, for
 they have already been settled by the first one, | and that circumstance will tend to shorten
 the hearing. MT. Waller will probably appear for the State in the new trial. Hayden is still
 at large on bail of $5,oOO. He is in Hart
 ford, overseeing the preparation of his auto
 biography.
 Mr. Hayden's book, it was learned in this
 city yesterday, is to be out today. An issue | of 10, 900 copies is reported.

How He Escaped.

to jump upon Conductor Emmons' train at the Newtown depot Monday evening, but struck against barrel in doing so, and miss ing his hold fell between the platform and the cars. Several cars passed him as he laid there, and every one supposed he must cer- tainIy have been killed. When picked up, however, it was found that no bones were broken and that his injuries were not even of serious nature. The flesh had been partly torn from one cheek and one ear was badly cut, but he was not otherwise rt-Bridge- port Farmer

New Art GaIlerv,

The Boston bookstore, 257 Chapel street, has been closed for the past week to arrange the large stock of books brought here by New York publishers also an immense stock of fine oil paintings, which makes the place look like a fine art gallery. The paintings are all finely executed by the best artists and are to be given away, as also alarge and varied stock of fine jewelry and silverwars.

Tickets at Peck's book store. Miss Cayvan stands in the highest rank in her chosen profession. The Hartford Courant says of this gifted lady:
 !" Miss Cayvan's audience WAS one of the largest of the course. It was, from beginning to end, a thoroughly delighted au- dience. thrilled by turns and again deeply moved by some exquisite shade of pathos, or convuIsed with merriment. In all she was thorough artist, always giving the nearer Q notion of repressed power, never ex- aggerating, but keeping inside the excess of expression. It was an exquisitely delightful entertainment, pure, natural, and consequently full of fascination. We said that the secret of Miss Oayvan's success was care ful training We had forgotten one thing that one thing is genuis."

Real Estate.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 One of the last things to be affected by the good or hard times is real estate, and from the unusual demand for houses and lands, and for central rents, it is evident that we are on the eve of great prosperity. In Boston, says the Hartford Courant, there is great waking up in real estate, and quite ''boom" was de- veloped as to Back Bay properties there with large sales and numerous buyers. The wave seems bound to come. It has struck the western cities first, but it will eventually have to be felt over the country. In Chicago in some localities real estate today is actually higher than it was in the previous flush times, and Kansas City, St. Louis and other places also already report noticeable improve ment. We are not dead yet. The same re- port comes to us from New York, where there are parties daily picking up good desirable pieces of real property upon which they ex- pect to realize handsome profit. Here in New Haven there is growing demand for houses, and many will be built during the coming season. *.*
