Consolidated Telephones.

The two city telephone lines were connect ed yesterday, so that persons on one line can now communicate with those on the other. There are now, under the new consolidation, about 57O subscribers in New Haven. Only three wires have as yet been connected and too much must not be expected until more wires are put in circuit with the general office, which will be accomplished as speedily as possible After the connections were made yesterday there was rush of calls at the central office, more for the purpose of testing exchanges on the two lines than for
 business. Yesterday the consolidated com pany were looking for 8 new central office
 The old Horse Guard armory on the upper floor of the Cutler building was visited
 also the upper story of the Yale
 National bank building and the fourth
 story of Mitchells building. The company
 are desirous of securing an operating room in building where they can have business office on the first floor, and be as near the center of the city as possible.
 Yesterday connection was made with the Forbes House at East Haven and George Ives of North Haven, and the conversation was heard more distinctly, if possible, than from subscribers located much nearer. It has been suggested that it would be a great convenience if the new company would at their earliest convenience publish an al phabetical list of subscribers connected with the two lines as consolidated.

Among the catski11a.

It will interest many in New Haven to learn that the beautiful Grand View Noun tain House, in the Catskills, the most roman tic and delightfully."- situated summer resort in all that eminently lovely and picturesque re- gion-also so noted far and wide for the pur- est of mountain air, has been taken for the season of 1880 by Mrs John Redclife of this city, under whose immediate supervision this renowned and favorite resort will be.
 The hotel will be open for the reception of guests on and after July ?. Its situation is at the northern extremity of the Catskin range, some 5000 feet above sea leveI-by far the greatest altitude of any hotel in the Catskills, and at the foot of the highest and most northerly spur, known as High Peak, whose summit is $500 feet above the sea. Old tourists speak of the wonders of the landscape which greet the vision from the hotel as beggaring description, covering To-, 900 square miles, and after weeks and months of tarrying the tourist, pleasure seekers and invahds alike find each day new g1ories in the vast panorama and new life in the splendid salubrious mountain air. Six States of the Union are in the scope of vision. The Adirondacks, Green and White Mountains

The HospitaI,


 The work of obtaining the guarantee fund for the hospital proceeds in a very encourag ing manner and promises fairly at present for successful result. The Providence hospital was for some time in financial strait, out of which it was helped by the benevoIence of citizens, who came forward with the material aid needed. They subscribed the same as our citizens are doing for guarantee fund, to be used only in case of a deficiency. The amount called for some years was small, at one time being but trifing percentage of the amount subscribed The highest as- sessment was $75 on 8 hundred and that was in 8 particular emergency to meet extra tra expenses caused by adding to or enlarg- ing the buildings The amount guaranteed by our citizens is subject to the same lmita- tions. A great deal of important work is done by gentlemen who give of their time and also of their means to promote its inter- ests, as is already well known. The institu- ton is in fine working order and it's influence is known to all.

Stealing FIo,yers fn the Cemetery.

While busy at the Evergreen cemetery grounds yesterday, the superintendent, Mir. Dorman saw a well dressed woman in the act of picking choice flowers from bush in bloom in one of the cemetery lots and ar rested her. She had also been picking flow CTS elsewhere in the lot She was taken to the police station and locked up pending the arrival of friends to give bonds for her. Superintendent Dorman has received numer- ous complaints from lot owners who have found graves and lots despoiled of flowers, and even of fowery plants and an example was felt to be imperative. Heretofore the superintendent has detected children in the act of carrying away flowers from graves but this is the first instance where an adult has been found committing such a depreciation on the rights of lot owners and desecrating the resting place of the dead. The woman is very respectfully connected. She gave her name as Catherine Jones at the police desk At the time she was detected the attention of the superin tendent was directed to an inter ment which was in progress. There were three interments and one removal at the cemetery yesterday.

The City Hnn Division.

The dispute between the town and city au- thorities regarding division of the rooms in the City Hall bids fair to be amicably settled. City Clerk Morse, acting on behalf of the Mayor, yesterday afternoon notified the Town Agent that the city committee would meet the committee from the town on next Mon day evening It is thought that no material change will be made. The assessors are anxious that the cases and pigeon holes in their room belonging to the road department shall be removed, and this will probably be effected The road department, it is under stood, would be willing to move their office to the room occupied by the Historical Socie- ty, if such a change could be effected, but it is a question whether this will be decided upon.
