BuchhoIz and HIS Jury.


 The evidence in the Buchholz trial closed yesterday forenoon and the court adjourned till p. m., when the arguments were to com mence. The case will probably be given to the jury tomorrow.
 The Standard of yesterday says The court opened few minutes after 10 o'clock this morning. Eli Savage was recalled by the State relative to some minor point. The de- fence then called Joseph Wehrle, proprietor of the Belvidere Hotel, New York, who testi- fed that Maurice Arble boarded at his hotel from November 20 to December Il, 1878. He came there without any baggage except ing valiss, appeared gentlemanly, and was well dressed, and when he left he forgot to pay his board bill. Witness produced his hotel register, showing Arble's signature and also the name of Charles filing, who register ed there for meals at one time during Arble's stay. GrenewoId, the former servant of Schu1te, testified to receiving letters from Schulte from Ehrenfeld, small town near Cologne. George A. Hyde, one of the jurors on the first trial, testified to tearing the hat when examined by them on the former trial. The evidence being all in, the court took a re- cess until two o'clock when the arguments will begin. MT. Nelson Taylor will open for the State. The State will probably have the closing argument in this trial in accordance with law passed by the last General Assem- ply giving them this right.

entertainments

Barnum's great show appears in New Haven to day. It is gigantic exhibition, great aggregation. Bridgeport people seemed to have turned out CD nnGsse yesterday. In the afternoon the great show drew Il, 900 people The whole city was alive, and thousands were there from all the neighboring towns. The utmost satisfaction was given, and the city wore grand holiday appearance. Three cars alone came from as far as New Milford. The great exhibition occupies three immense spe- cial trains, which will arrive here at an early hour this morning. Mir. D. s. Thomas gives us the route of procession for New Haven, which thousands will be interested in. How ard avenue to Columbus, to Water, to State, to Grand, to Hamilton, to Chapel, to York, to Elm, to Church, to Congress avenue, re- turn to the grounds. The procession starts away from the grounds at g o'clock. In the procession are nine gaily osparisoned ele- phants and six camsls, all of which will spe- ciaIIy delight the children. The Standard says the parade in Bridgeport was 8 brilliant one. The Farmer says: .'The sidewalks were blocked with people and windows and balconies along the route were also filled with observers. The procession was as long, as imposing and as rich in striking and interesting features as the parades MT. Barnum has heretofore given the public, and every one knows that this means it was an extremely fine display. Everything looked bright, new and attractive, and was viewed with general interest and admiration by the crowds in waiting. The gorgeous chariots, the troop of performing stalions, the elephants, camels, steam musical instru- ments, automatic performing figures, and an imal vans, all came in for due share of at sention" Remember there will be two per formences here, as usual, afternoon at and evening at 8. Both are equally good. The performance is the same at both. The show is exhibited in only three towns in this State, Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford. All the trains to this city will be loaded to-day, with pleasant weather.

That Fatal Leap from a Flying Traino
 The particulars of the death of the man
 who was killed by the 5:2O accommodation train from this city at Bridgeport Saturday evening. are thus given in the Bridgeport Far
 mer: Joseph Robison, moulder employed at the shops of the Howe Machine Company,
 Jumped, Saturday evening, from the 5:59 Shore Line express near the Malleable Iron
 Works, and received injuries which proved almost immediately fatal. Robison went to the shop early Saturday morning, but com- plainsd of feeling unwen and left before o'clock, telling one of his associates that he was going to New Haven. From the fact that The WAS on train coming from that direction in the afternoon, it is presumed he did so. MT. Louis H. Lyon and Mir. William Por- ter were among the passengers who got aboard the same train at this city. Robi- son was then in the smoking car and they heard Conductor Wildman ask him where he wanted to go. Bridgeport" replied Robison. 'sThen," said the conductor,
 s'keep your seat until we get to Norwalk and you can ta ke the first train back" Robison murmured an assent, and the conductor went
 on. It was this conversation that momentari- " atEThcteO IO 6ODlSou the aGtentlOu or the two gentlemen mentioned. They noticed that he had one shoe of, that his collar was un- buttoned, and that he looked generally dis heveled and demoralized. In moment or so they started to cross from the smoking car to the drawing-room car. Robison had in the meantime gone out and was then standing on the platform steps with one hand grasping the railing. As MT. Lyon was passing him, he suddenly gave jump out from the train and disappeared. MT. Lyon hastened to inform Conductor Wildman of the occur renee, and the latter at once pulled the bell rope to stop the train. For some reason ger whistled down brakes. These were at once applied, but the train, which was going at high rate of speed, ran some distance be- fore being brought to stop. When it did stop the conductor sent a brakeman back to find the body and also to flag the 6:19 train, which he knew must be close behind, as his own train was some twenty minutes late. Before the brakeman reached the body, however, it had been discovered by John Killian. who called Officer Daily to his assistance. Robison was bare- Iy gasping when found and in 8 few minutes ceased to breathe. Evidently one of as he had been dragged some forty feet along the track. The car wheels had passed over one foot, crushing 1t and tearing apart the shoe. The principal wound was at the back of the head, where the brains were oozing from large fracture in the skull. The brake man proposed that the body be placed on board the 6:19 train and taken to Fairfield, but the officer recognized the deceased as a Bridgeport man, and accordingly had the body taken to the station house. jury of inquest was summoned.
