Tha aRnme Compnny.

The New Haven Ruf1e company, 194, 196 and 19S Chapel street, up stairs, wish to an nounce that they will adopt the following method at their sale to day, and also give their reasons for so doing. When they began to sell remnants last Saturday they had no idea of any crowd, and made no plans to meet the demands of the hundreds that came. Their office was so packed that half of those who came did not get due attention, and they hoped that by the time of their second sale they would have some system about their business, but so many come between times, that not until yesterday, when they employed all of their work room force, did they get really fixed. They now think they can give proper heed to those who come to-day by carrying out the following plan, viz: To have four s'openings" during the day-the first at 7 o'clock a. m., the second at 10 o'clock a. m. the third at 2 o'clock p. m. and the fourth at 4 o'clock D. m. This will divide the morning rush and also greatly facilitate matters. The special attraction to-day will be over seven hundred dollars worth of real French flowers at 5 and 10 cents per bunch, most of them costing one to three dollars and just the thing for holiday trimming. They are very pretty and it will pay to look at them. There will also be shown large assortment of rem- nants, which the Ruffie company will sell at | a great deal less than cost. All who have called pronounce the prices astonishingly low and say they will call again.

The man Frank Reed, who has been found guilty in the superior court, Hartford, Of burglary, has not yet been sentenced, Judge Beardsley holding the matter in abeyance. He was arrested on suspicion of being con- nected with the recent attempt to rob Mrs. Ovens house on High street in that city, but the officers who have looked into the case think that it was impossible for him to have been in the city at the hour the house was entered. A young lady who was awakened the man she saw in her room. It is very probable that the case will be tried again.

Rohharv in Wnndhridra.

Louis Russell, of Woodbridge, discovered recently that he had been robbed Sunday morning of $2OO of missionary money and some silverware. He heard some one going to the room that morning, but thought it was his daughter. Later in the day he found that the money and goods had been stolen. The affair was kept secret, as it was thought that this would facilitate the detection of the thief. Deputy Sheri4 Tucker paid visit to Ansonia Thursday in hopes to get clue to the missing silverware, but the attempt was fruitless and all hope of recovering the prop erty has been substantially given up.
