Police TeleQraph.

MIR. Mendall, who put the fire alarm iele-
graph into the city, is here, and wants the city
to adopt his police telegraph. The idea is to
have boxes in every ward, quite a number in
each ward. Every citizen who has key to
one OF these boxes, has his key numbered, SC
that when he uses 1t to sound an alarm at the
station the key has to be left in the box, and al
the police have their number registered he will
be answerable for the alarm. A horse and
wagon, and reserve of three police should be
kept at the station so that when an alarm il
pulled In they could reach the desired spot in
five minutes These three men, under this ar.
rangement, could be spared from their beats
and the efficiency of the force quadrupled.
For instance, citizen sees q crime or mis-.
demeanor committed, or about to be, he sends
an alarm from box, and the police are
promptly on the spot II he went to hunt fol
q policeman under the present system, owing
to the long beats, he might procure one toe
late for service. The cost OF the system Ii
$1,000, and is in great favor at the west. The
wagon can also be an ambulance to convey
sick or injured people,

Suicide at the .Iail.

Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock when the
turnkey at the Jail opened the cells to let the
prisoners out for their morning ablutions, he
found Swede named Benit Andersen hang
ing from his cell door, dead, having committed
suicide. Coroner James S. Gould was al once
called and investigated the case and took
charge of the body. He decided that the man
had been dead several hours, and it is probable
that Andersen hung himself soon after the
lights were put out for the night the evening
previous The man had torn strip from his
blanket about three feet in length and passed
one end OF 1t around the upper cross bar of his
cell door. Then throwing himself forward,
with the other end of the rope thus formed in
the form of slip moose around his neck, he
was strangled.
BENT Andersen was Swede about Is years
of age and could talk bat very little English.
He was in jail awaiting trial at the next term
OF the Superior Court for breaking into the es-

GREENWOOD GARDEN.
Opening of the New Pleasure Grounds
at Peaks Island.

Greenwood Garden at Peaks Island was
opened to the public last night. Although
postponed from Wednesday evening there were
several hundred people in attendance and on
every hand might be heard expressions Of sur.
prise at the great change wrought
in the place by Capt. Knowlton
In years past 1t has been one.
great trouble with Peaks Island that although
nature had done much in making it pleasant
place, there was nothing to ses and nothing to
do while there for an afternoon or evening.
Now it Is not SO. About six acres OF the
beautiful grove lying west of Jones' Landing
has been enclosed by high fence and the
enclosure has been made to look almost like
another garden of Eden. Neatly painted seats
are distributed through the grove and in the
evening the whole place is lighted by regular
street lamps At the left on entering is found
the menagerie. 1t is contained in twenty
cages and pens and is composed of about 70
varieties of animals and BIRDS Here may be
found louceryier or an "Indian Devil in
all his natural ugliness and also cages contain
ing opossums, foxes, monkeys, guinea pigs,
rabbits, raccoons, woodchucks and all sorts OF
rare birds. In one cage is a happy family
consisting of three sleek looking cats and two
Brazilian rats, the latter running about uncon-
cerned among their dangerous company One en-
closure contains dog and fox and another has
rabbits and Esquimaux dog and puppies. The
deer park contains two deers and two peacocks.
In the bird line there is one cage containing
an owl, another an eagle, another a gall
raven and henhawk and fourth has II
varieties of parrots and other birds On the
lower side bruin has his quarters, safe and
strong The cages and enclosures are all
painted green with red roofs.
The principal attraction last evening was the
skating rink, which is situated on the lawn
part OF the grove. 1t is a large, handsome
building, with hard wood floor, 60xT0 feet
The rink is in charge of Mr.. Crawford Of
Brunswick, and is destined to be popular
place this summer Chambers Band will
play afternoon and evening. The building is
80 arranged that spectators as we'll as skaters
have good chance to enjoy the fun, and what
is much better it costs them nothing.
Near the rink a handsome gothic band
stand has been erected where band concerts
viii be given. large and neat looking res
taurant is also situated within the enclosure
A pond in which will be kept seals, live lob
sters and crabs and the like, is nearly finished

Revival Of the Hippodrome Sports CT An
Gent Greece and Rome.

Revival OF the 61ppCQFOnG OpOTLS q AL
Gent Greece and Rome.
The wealthy and famous circus manager
Mr.. Adam Forepaugh-hss made the expert
ment of reviving tho hippodrome and chariot
races Of ancient Rome, in connection with bis
colossal tented exhibition, which Is shortly to
exhibit here. Lofty and enrolling, andpleas-
ant from the classical reminiscences they
awaken, are all the associations connected with
these ancient chariot races. Kings and power
full States were often competitors at these Illus
trious sports, to the lperiodical occurrences Of
which the whole civilized world looked with
an intensity OF expectation that absorbed every
other thought and pursuit. Public and pri-
yate business was then forgotten, the fercest
wars were suspended, universal truce was
proclaimed by sea and land, that all mankind
might travel in safety TO Olympia, and regard
nothing but the paramount, the supreme object
Of attention, the hippodrome races and games.
And all this has passed away like dream.
Olympia is no more; It's solid temples, lthe &C.
lossal statue OF Jupiter, the sacred grove, with
its myriads OF statues Of gods, kings and he
roes in brass, marble and iron, have crumbled
into dust, and become 80 effectually mingled

these games and chariot races were instituted,
and who had received tho homage of the Pa

en- into utter oblivion, TO be revived now, after
q lapse Of nearly thirty centuries, for the
amusement Of US, who are living in the age OF
steam, lightning, tho telephone and all the
modern maryels Of this Christian age.
