Important Extension of Manufacturing
 Business.
 One of the most recent business ventures in this city is one of considerable importance just made by the New Haven Rattan com pany, company now becoming quite we'll known here, which was organized over a year ago for the manufacture of rattan and cane furniture. The company bought and much enlarged the old works of the Lindsley Firearms company on Orange street, just above Grove, taking possession over a year ago, as stated. The shop had for years pre- Rious been vacant and unoccupied. The Rattan company has turned it into busy place and has 100 hands employed there in this interesting branch of manufacture and the business is rapidly increasing and the concern has just bought at an expense ot about $10, GOO the Audubon street property fronting fifty five feet on that street and having depth of over two hundred feet. It belonged to the estate of the late LeVerett Shepard. With this purchase and improve ments to be made in the near future, the company will have facilities for the employ ment of several hundred hands. We under stand that the company has regularly en- ployed agent in the East Indies for buying their rattan. Our attention to the large lum- Der stock on the premises elicited the lnfor- nation that the stock comprises at present nearly half 8 million feet. Mir. Isaac N. Damn is president of the company, and to his energy it is indebted for the future pros- poets of success.

The New American.

The American Theater in Its New Dress
 Description of the Work.
 The building on Church street owned by St. Mary's church, the upper part of which was used as theater by the American Thea ter company last season, and which was de-
 stroyed by fire last spring, has been under
 going thorough repairs during the summer with view to making it frst-class theater.
 The work of repairing is now practically completed, although there remains little work for the plumbers, and the seats and the stage furniture have not been put in. AS it now stands the theater is much improved.
 The roof has been raised so that it is about
 seven feet higher than formerly and the old ceiling entirely removed, so that now the room is much higher than before. Two large ventilators in the roof with the various large windows with ventilators will keep the room well supplied with pure air. The side gallery is the same as formerly, but the rear gallery has been extended back and raised. This will give the ''gods'' full and fair view of the stage. The proscenium also has been improved by slight alteration. There are now six dressing rooms on the stage, three on either side and other general improve ments have been added to the stage. The rear window on the left of the auditorum beneath the. gallery has been cut into large door and the platform on the outside extended to reach 1t, so that there will be two exits on that side of the building in addition to the general exit to Church street. This will make the building perfectly safe in case of fire. The house can now be emptied in less than three minutes. The ticket office at the head of the stairs has been set back, giving more lobby room. The walls are kslsomined, being light straw color. The ceiling is light blue. The gallery front is very prettily decorated. There are five large truss rafters running across at the junction of the roof and up right walls. These are securely braced and fastened by rods let down from the roof in box castings, and are decorated in French gray. The whole effect of the interior is good. MT. Andrew C. Smith, who built the St. Francis orphan asylum, was the carpenter builder.
 The theater will be opened about the 1st of September. Since the fire the theater company has been playing through the eastern States to fair business. Press FL dridge is now playing in Washington, D. c. The St. Mary's society will have fair in the building before the regular theater season opens. It is expected that 8 frst-class com pany will open it, and the business will be managed with that wise discrimination and regard for the tastes of the public which char acterized it's management last season.

uartfor,I and Harlem ,

Yesterday morning the railroad commis- sioners and engineers and counsel for the Hartford and Harlem railroad company as- sembled at Cos Cob depot. They were met by Colonel H. W. R. Hoyt, counsel for Greenwich property holders, among whom is 8 MT. Sniffern, across whose home lot in that town the proposed line of road is to pass. Taking carriages, the party visited Mr. Sniff ferns estate, which is valable and really too good to be cut by railroad unless that road is to be what friends of the Hartford and Harlem claim for it-a frst-class institution in every particular. The line was inspected and suggestions heard as to the practicability or possibility of changing the layout 50 as to aaoid disturbing Mir. s. Money and taste have been expended and displayed on his premises with view to making them his permanent abiding place, and, naturally. he holds railroad will dis turb his quiet.

Hart ford, to hear testimony of officials and oth- CTS as to the cause of the late fatal accident at the junction of the N. Y. & N. B. and Consolidated roads in that city.

Concerning the Strike.

The concession of the Rapid Telegraph | company to the demands of the strikers,
 news of which was published in yesterdays COURIER has caused considerable discussion.
 Manager Harris said yesterday that some time ago, about last March, the Western Union company had bought 60,OO0 shares of | the Rapid company's stock. This he learned not from his company, but from the broker
 who transacted the business. From this fact some insight into the "true inwardness" of the situation can be gained. It is probable that the Western Union company has se- cured the Rapid Telegraph company to make
 arrangements with the strikers in order to relieve the Western Union and thus stop the
 erumbling on the part of the general public
 because their messages are not transmitted promptly. In this way the Western Union
 really goes on making money, doing good
 business, and the strikers are kept out
 Messages are no longer 'fsubject to delay" at the Rapid telegraph office. The business of that place increased largely yesterday. The force at the Western Union office is still small, but sufficient to handle their business,
 which is about as large as that of last sum- mer.
 Manager A. LeRoy Page, of the Rapid Telegraph company, stated last evening that he did not believe in the report that the Rapid was controlled Ly the Western Union or influenced by them at all in the matter of their recent action toward the strikers. He said he had heard the story before, but was then unable to satisfy himself of it's truth. He said the fact is there are several com panies who might wish to gain control of the Rapid, the Postal, the Baltimore and Ohio and Southern, to all of whom the control of the Rapid would afford great advantage, in consequence of their want of connections in the New England States. Any of these companies would probably be glad to offer better terms for the Ranid than the Western Union. In proof of the fact that the Rapid was still indepen- dent the statement of the offer which the Western Union made recently to the Rapid, and which was declined, and published in all the papers at the time, was brought forward: Union controlled the Rapid he would cer- tainly have known of it. The Rapid is still independent and probably will remain so. The company's employees in New York, Bos- ton and the other cities have all returned. They are jubilant over what they call their victory. The business of the company at the l New Haven office yesterday was frst-class. l and to-day will probably be better.

The young man seeing he could not stop the horse refined it in by the curb at the Old Green near Temple street, where lay lot of timbers for the Centerville railroad extension. Both occupants were thrown out. People ran from all directions to the spot. Gen. s. E.

The Late Judge Landen.

The members of the New Haven county bar yesterday decided that it was best to postpone action on the death of the late Judge Landon, of Guilford, until September The reason for this arose from the fact that most of the contemporary lawyers were out of the city on their summer vacations and it was thought that when bar meeting was held the elderly members of the bar should be present.
 The funeral of the late Judge Landon will take place at Guilford to-day at 12 o'clock noon, and number of his friends from this city will attend.

At the dedication of soldiers monument at My stic Bridge on June 13 Lieutenant Fish, of Fort Trumbull, who had charge of battery from which Q salute was being fired in the streets of Mystic, discharged a gun point blank into the Grand Army line, marching only a few feet away. There was no smoke to veil the marching column, and the act seemed inspired by wanton carelessness. Fifteen men of Sedgwick post, of Norwich, were terribly cut by the powder and seven men of the Mystic post were injured. The faces of many Nor wich men were filled with powder that has not yet been extracted, and one member of the post had part of the calf of his leg shot away.

Mortality Among Stamford Horses 16 Deaths

Within the past few weeks 16 horses have died in Stamford from an apparently incura. ble disease, which affects the spinal column, resulting in the paralysis of the throat and hind parts. The animal crouches like dog, is unable to stand, soon becomes bloated and dies, after few days suffering, from ex- haustfon. Dr. Tanner, the veterinary phy- sician, is of the opinion that the disease is chargeable to atmospheric changes and warns owners of horses to guard against fast driving and watering while in heated con- dition. The dissections show an infamed condition of the intestines.
