Entertainments.
THE CASE srLrrn nv b n D

THE CASE STATED BY P. T. BARNUM. In the exhibition business recognize no competitors. All public exhibitors in America and Europe acknowledge among themselves that never before within the knowledge of man was there travelling exhibition costing so much money, so extensive and varied so interesting, so instructive, 50 marvellous, so clean, so perfect in all its appointments, as my properly named Greatest Show on Earth" No other exhibition prstends to have a.maussatns, and yet my mussum depart ment with it's living giants, dwsrfs, Zulus, mysterious lady and it's thousand of curiosi- ties and it's mechanical, musical, magical wonders would alone make an exhibition more instructive and marvellous than any entire ex- hibition which ever travelled. My combined exhibitions are suited to all classes and ages, and I honestly believe them to be better worth one dollar to visit than any dramatic, musical or other entertainment on exhibition in existence. It is by far the best that I ever owned. I never advertise line or exhibit a picture which does not represent exactly what I show to the public. My numerous tents are absolutely aoate7pr0cf, so that, rain or shine, wet or dry, guarantee my visitors perfect protection from the weather.
 Thus far this season on every night except one, and every Saturday afternoon, have been obliged to close my doors and turn many away for want of room. The surest way to avoidrsuch disappointments is, 50 far as pos sible, to attend the dag exhibitions, which are precisely the same as those of ths evenings.
 The public's obedient servant,
 P. T. BARNUM.

A coincidence which the members of the firm found on looking at their books is the fact that the fire occurred on the firms 20th anniversary.
 One of the blacksmiths, Henry Klatman, when the fire had not yet attained it's height, tried to rescue some of his tools and rushed into the building, which was densely filled with smoke. He tripped over some iron and fell. His helper rushed in after him and helped him out
 Steamer Four's men found an unexpected visitor. On looking into the works of the steamer after the fire they found big eel squirming around inside and in very uneasy state. He was rouser, weighing about two pounds, and nearly as big round as mans wrist. He was prevented from going into the hose by the strainer through which the by drant water passes. He had probably been an inhabitant of the water mains for two or three years.
 The police had their hands full to keep out people who were determined to get through the building to the rear where the fire was raging.
 Steamer No. and the hook and ladder truck, Fair Haven, are warmly complimented by citizens at the fire for their effective and admirable service.

Fire at Kean & Lines Carriage Mamu-
 factOry-LOss from s1O,OO to SI5.OOO
 Prompt and Effective Work by the
 Fire Department-A Big Eel.
 A fire broke out in the well known car
 riage manufactory of Kean & Lines, on Chap
 ell street, corner of Wallace, at about quar-
 ter of 12 o'clock Saturday night. MT. F. o. Rowland, sitting in the draughting room of his machine shop. across the way, heard boys shouting fire, and gave the alarm. The flames
 were under considerable headway when the | firemen arrived. They started near parti-
 ton between the wood shop and the black
 smiths shop. These buildings are of wood, | and in the rear of the brick buildings of the
 establishment The wood shop and black | smiths shop are upon one floor, and over. head of the blacksmith shop is the paint
 room. Over the wood shop is large room where wood stuff is dried and materials stored, and over all Is an attic where wheels, panel stuff, etc., are kept The flames ran quickly into the second story, and in few
 minutes the whole lower story was full of smoke and fire, and the flames ran with great | rapidity. The fire department added to it's
 laursls, after a hard fight with the flames
 bringing them under Eubjection. A second alarm was found necessary soon after the first streams were put on the fire. Much damage | was done, however. A landau and landaulette | were in the paint shop ready for vanishing. | These were directly over the hottest of the | fire, and eight or nine other bodies nearly | finished were much damaged. The walls of | the lower rooms are much charrsd, showing ! how far the fire had taken hold and the ability
 of the department. The flames at one time were blazing up out of the attic. The
 room in the wood shop was yesterday half | covered with an indiscriminate pile of ma | terials, which had tumbled from the burned | or broken racks, and the numerous window panes of the shop had lurid look from the effects of the heat and smoke. Most of the wood Workmen lose in the burning or damag- | ing of their kits of tools. On those benches I nearest the hottest of the fire were a sorry
 looking lot. Harry Grodski and brother and Samuel Lester, sixteen years employed there, each had their kits badly damage d.
 Charles Roberts, of Milford, is an old en- ploye and is one of the oldest body makers in the city. Considerable panel stuffs, many
 wheels and various running parts were dam- aged. Among them is one in process of re-
 pairs, belonging to the Hon. Charles l.
 Mitchell, of East Haven. The fire started, it is supposed, from 8 spark from the forges,
 which had lain smoldering and finally ignited

 concern is estimated at between $1O, GOO and $15 ,0OO, irrespective of the detriment and in- terruption to their business. The establish.

The Cemctcries-Eeautif Monument.
 At the Evergreen cemetery two lots were sold recently. Many fine monuments were erected last year, some of them of surpassiDg elegance. We learn from MT. Dorman, su- perintendent, that number of very fine monuments, 1t is likely, will be erected the coming season.
 One of the most elaborate, chaste and or nate monuments ever erected in our cemeter- ies has just been added to the many fine monuments in the Grove street cemetery. This elegant st one is sarcophagus, bold and beautiful in design and proportions, just erected to the memory of our late greatly ss- teemed townsman, ex-Mayor William Fitch. It is the design and execution of Thomas Phillips & Son. It is in the northsrn center of the grounds, and in all the vicinity are monuments to honored names in New HavenT past, while in the rear in the family lot, mid way between the two avenues, is the elegant gray granite to the memory of John Fitch, father of the deceased and president of the Mechanics Bank, who died in 1861, a man re- vered aud greatly esteemed. In front is 8 beautifully carved and massive headstone to
 
 succeeded his father in the presidency of tn @ Mechanics Bank. It is also to the memory of his wife. The sarcophagus to the memory of the late ex Mayor Fitch is noble, massive and imposing, of elegant workmanship. It is of beautiful white granite, with highly polished dies and lettering. On the front is the legend ssLoved and Lamented ;" on one side s'WiIliam Fitch, Born Aug. 21, 1920; Died May g, 9,1877." In the rear is the inscription 'sEmily Wilhel- nina, only child of William and Emily Fitch, born June 6, 1846 Died Sept. 27, ,1S46." The elegant and beautiful monuments in this and other portions of the old ground, which add so greatly to the fine appearance of this hon. ored resting place of the dead, are now set again in their bed of living green which the springtime has brought forth.
 Not far from the entrance to the grounds on the left Is the grave of the late Judge Alfred Blackman, freshly covered with elegant floral tributes. Many stopped yesterday to glance at the spot where one so much esteemed is buried. His memory will long be cherished.
