A Busy Time at the ,Stores-Throngs and
 Highly Animated Scenes.
 Chapel street was immensely thronged Saturday afternoon, and Saturday evening especially, and a gay and lively scene enough was presented The whole city seemed to be out viewing the Christmas displays and the stores had busy time. The interest cnlmi- mated at about or o'clock, when locomo- ton from store to store appeared to be much impeded, especially where people were bur- dened with Santa Claus bundles. There were rumors of pickpockets at work in some of the largest stores, but the police found that in each instance 1t was probably owing to acci- dent in the jostling about in the crowds. There were quite number of instances
 where 1t seemed impossible to prevent peo- pie from getting run over at the principal corners, and the police are given credit for their extra vigilance and zeal. Many people from the neighboring towns came in and mingled In the excitement and stages and carriages and carryalls from out of town add ed to the crowds of city vehicles. Ladies be- \ came so immersed in Christmas shopping as to forget ordering the Christmas dinner and ! returned home, having finished purchasing 1 their large list of presents, to find the ser | wants still waiting for the marketmen to ar- | rive. Christmas was in the air, and Santa Claus still lives. A prominent gentleman ! tried to instill into the minds of some bright little friends that Santa Claus had emigrated
 and would not appear in this city this year. His banter met at once with great incredulity
 on the part of the children, who had already
 experienced most gratifying evidences of the
 presence of the myth, and tue effort utterly | failed. The arrival of Christmas was plainly ! announced not only in the show windows ot
 all the principal stores, but in every part oi
 the city, in stores and dwellings, and with
 fine weather to-day the great anniversary will ! be enjoyed to the utmost.

John E, Smith,

In New Haven Sunday at his home died Mir. John E. Smith, who for many years was one of our most active and successful busi' ness men. As manufacturer and citizen he was identified with the growth of Waterbury for more than thirty years, and had made 8 temporary home in New Haven since retiring from the active connection with his business, though retaining and being closely connected with his interests here. He was the principal owner in the Waterbury Button company, which is managed by his son, J. R. Smith, and the largest stockholder ID the Waterbury Buckle company, in connection with which his son, Edward S., manages the Smith < Griggs Manufacturing company. Mr.. Smith was most energetic and untiring man in his management of business, and has had great success in his undertakings. He never spared himself and his attention covered every point, at home or in the market. Of a warm heart ed and generous nature, he was impulsiye and thoroughly interested in whatever he was engaged in, and his will was a power in achieving results. His associates will miss him, and the community loses an upright and est1mable man. Waterbury Amaerica1a.

A Fortunate Escape.

Last evening at about o'clock as MT. A.. D. Hendrick, the contractor at the Clock shop, was passing down Chapel street near the New Haven Opera House, his attention was attracted by the remark of a little boy who said, "Madam, your dress is all afire. i" Looking around he noticed two well dressed ladies, and that the polonaise of one of them was all ablaze He told the lady to stand perfectly still, and, taking up the dress, smothered the fire with his hands His left hand was quite badly burned. How the fire occurred. whether by cigarette ashes or some other cause, was mystery. The other lady had noticed smell of fire as they were walking. The polonaise was ruined. The boys discovery and the presence of mind of Mir. Hendrick probably saved the lady from serious if not fatal injuries.
