RUNAWAY.

A team of horses belonging to d. Roy
Bowlby enjoyed a runaway this morning,
which, while it lasted, was very exciting to
the horses as well as the spectators who
lined the route taken by the runaways.
The horses were attached to light
wagon, and were hitched near the court
house on Third avenue. They became
frightened at some passing object and
breaking the hitching- strap made down
the street at a furious rate. On reaching
Seventeenth street they turned and again
changed their course on arriving at Third
avenue They ran away Third avenue III
til they were stopped in front of MIR. Lun-
dy's store.
Very little damage was done, although
the horses were somewhat bruised by their
self imposed speeding.

NEW QUARTERS.

The proprietors of the 4th avenue drug
store, located on the corner of 4th avenue
| and 23rd street, have about concluded ar
engagements whereby they viii add whole
| sale and jobbing department to their al
ready well established retail business, and
to this end win occupy second store
which is now in course of erection.
The members of the firm HartZ & Balm
sen are experienced druggists, and as their
new move will best testify, they are live
and energetic business men, credit and
benefit to the city.
The store now occupied by this firm
will still be conducted as retail establish
ment, and the same accuracy and attention
to details will characterize its management
as has been the case in the past.
The new store situated on the corner of
Goth street and 3rd avenue and known as
the E. d. Sweeney building, will, when
the same is completed, be utilized by the
enterprising firm of Hartz 6 Bahnsen as
wholesale and jobbing department. The
new store viii also conduct prescription
trade, and will be supplied with tele-
phone and electric night bell.
The firm are the wholesale agents for
the sale of ST. Jacobs Oil, Vogelers family
medicines and other well known remedies.
The new store is 80x20 feet and the
basement, first and a portion of the second
story will be occupied by the firm for the
transaction of their wholesale business A
travelling salesman has been started on the
road, and in a short time other statesmen
will follow. The senior proprietor b. C.
Hartz leaves tor Chicago the present week
to purchase the office fixtures and stock,
and the new establishment viii be formally
opened on the list of next September.
The stock includes a vBried collection of
articles adapted to the wholesale trade of
the vicinity, and with the judgement and
business enterprise that has marked the
previous success of the firm, Hartz s.
Bahnsen, there is every reason to suppose
that the wholesale and jobbing store will
also secure its full share of public patron
age.

the screen which is to be designed and ex
ecutcd under the supervision OF the justly
celebrated architect, A. B. Fielder, will be
purely omamented IN gold wore color and
covering. The reverse of the panels will
be of fluted satin of orange scarlet color,
oyerlaid at the corners with arabesques, in
gilded metal work, and the centers will be
turban-like cushions, overlaced with cords
and intricate webwork in purple and scar
let silk, the whole, when completed, form
ing ore OF the most superb pieces of decor
alive work ever produced in this country
The first of the panels illustrates the song
of the nymph in the poem beginning:
There is bower of roses by Bendeemer's
And the nightingale sings round it all the day
long.
Amid the cool shadows of a bank of
lovely roses the little grey bird is pouring
forth his soul in song, while at the other
side are glimpses of deep blue skies and a
pavilion from the seclusion of which one
might fancy dark-eyed houris are answer
ing the song of the sweet warbler.
The second panel is more symbolized
and formally decorative in design. 1t illus
trates the lines:
.sOnce more Peri at the gate
OF Eden stood, disconsolate.,'
Relieved against a gold background,
wherein the bars of the celestial gates are
family shown, is the face of the artists
ideal of the beautiful Peri, who seeks i'm
mortality and pleads to the angel that
guards the portal for admission to the joys
Of paradise,
Her downcast look and expression are
admirably portrayed.
The bars of rainbow hues, below, SYM
bolize the angels promise, and the blue
flower which is conventionalized, is that
of the Champoca tree which blooms, the
Brahmins say, only in Heaven.
The third panel epitomiZes the lines
from the yale of Cashmere"
. "a wilderness of flower,
It seems as though from all the bowers
And fairest fields of all the year.
These mingled spoils were scattered here
and upon this work the artist has layished
luxury of fancy, in color, that is truly
wonderful.
The accomplished lady, from whose
brush comes this truly unique and original
work of art, has host of warm friends in
this city, who have watched her progress
with eager interest and increasing pleasure
but sight of this, her latest production
and boldest conception will, doubtless,
give them an additional and gratifying
surprise, not only from the decided ad-
vance it indicates, but at the novelty and
versatility of her genious and energy, of
which it is so fine sample. All lovers of
art and all lovers of the beautiful should
made it point to call at the Parlor Art
Store and see these admirable pictures.
