 Improveln- n-nts-Noticeable Nsw Build ings in Various Parts of the City.
 The now buildings for the Marlin Arms company of this city, at Miller's Garden. are being erected by Mir. Hezekiah Beardsley, 8 contractor and builder of Milford. The building is 228 feet long, with an ell extend
 ing s2 feet. The new premises are now nearly erected and quite @ conspicuous feature in that section of the city. The com pany is to employ about 300 operatives.
 The new dye works buildings of Mir. For syth on State street near Neck Bridge are well advanced toward completion and are also a very noticeable improvement in the same section of the city. The buildings are of brick and quite extensive. The gun shop enlargement and Forsyth's form two very notable business extensions in the city.
 The mason work on Mir. Forsyth's new buildings is done by MT. c. D. Kinney, and some idea of the good size of the buildings can be obtained from the fact that half g million of brick are used in their construc tion Mir. Kinney was busy yesterday putting in the new boilers which are to be used in the extension of the business.
 An addition of four stories has recently been erected by Stahl & Hegel, the under takers, on Church street in the rear of their premises, and has been oe- c upied by them for their furniture, upholstering and other departments, as ad- ditional accommodations. Manville, Dudley & Co, the carriage manufacturers, recently turned out very fine undertaking wagon which was constructed specially for the above firm of Stahl & Hegel It is probably with out 8 superior of it's kind, and was specially drafted for the concern by Mir. Hide ebrand, who was long foreman of the wood working department at Killam's and is probably the best ever turned out in this city. It is used by the firm solely for their undertaking bus- mess. It is a top wagon with plate glas s sides, two elegant lanterns, polished silver bars on each side with 8 small appropriate sign having the firm name.
 Tbe tearing down of the upper portion of the Mansfield building on Center street, which was the scene of the fire there, is about completed. The upper part, therefore, presents 8 ragged-edged appearance, which will soon disappear, as tho building up process will be done Traeger's restaurant is in full blast in all it s former elegance, the work in the upper stories going on without hindering the restau | rant and saloon business below
 The new building of ex-Governor English on State street is nearly completed and main ly occupied by MT. Moffat in his paper bag business. The building makes handsome 1 improvement in that section. Governor English's new building on Chapel street, to 1 be occupied by the new dry goods firm, as- sumes each day more stylish appearance. The exterior work in the second story is much admired for its style and novelty in l this city.
