 Commissioners have been appointed on the estate of Mrs. Cynthia Stratton, the mother of the late Tom Thumb, at West Haven. They are Adolph Asher and Charles Har- riman. The estate inventoried $6,000, but was mortgaged for more than it's face value.
 The City court room is undergoing pro- cess of renovation. The prisoners dock, which formerly was located inside the rail and near the entrance door, has been changed to the opposite side of the room. To pre- vent the escape of prisoners through the windows or through the crowd of spectators, a high screen of stout wire separates the dock from the rest of the space outside of the rail. The door outside is locked and the only opening is into the place reserved for the attorneys. The windows are also barred with the same manner of screening The new dock is many times larger than the old one

The Gospel ou East Rock Park.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I see in the Gospel News' that MT. Col lins has great deal to say about carrying the gospel to East Rock Park, and the strang- est part of it is he seems to assume that it is needful for the people of New Haven to go there on Sunday for "rest, quiet and fresh air."
 It has always been the custom for oal clergy to recommend the good people of New Haven when oppressed by heat and noise at home to attend church where there is always rest, quiet and an abundance oi fresh air, and heretofore it has not been the custom for us to see the best class of our citizens out with their fine equipages on Sunday bowling over the roads to Savin Rock and South End. It is possible that MT. Collins with the gospel songs. a brass band and several eloquent clerRymen may be able to change this Puritanical custom so that our stay y-at-home citizens will hereafter be seen driving onto East Rock and about the country and thereby be greatly benefited by the rest, quiet and fresh air.''

The Evening Before.

The Preliminary Skfrmishes-Band and
 Tin Horn Concerts on the Gres n-A
 Few FtrewOrks-Immens Crowds.
 The evening before the Fourth was ex- tremely favorable to sauntering out of doors and crowds of people improved the oppor- tunity. The streets in the centre of the city were lined with people from o'clock on till almost midnight. The band concert on tbe Green by the Second Regiment band, with M. H. Nesbitt acting leader, drew out large crowd of listeners, who tried hard to hear the band music, although the opposition it encountered from hundreds of tin horns with able-lunged small boys attached to them scattered all over the Green. and the con- stant firing of frecrackers, many of which were thrown with exceeding recklessness di- rectly into the crowd gathered about the music stand, made the sweet strains of the musicians instruments scarcely audible a few feet away from the stand. The electric lights beamed cheerfulIy down and threw pleasant halo of light over the his- toric ground and it's gay concourse of people. In the, northern portion of the Green Alder man F. A. Munson was experimenting some fireworks, which served as 8 sort of foretaste for those to come tonight. Sky rockets. mines of Roman candies, red lights, etc., were set of to the delight of the younger portion of the crowd especially, which gath ored in dangerous proximity to the place where the fireworks were set of. The pro- gramme of the band concert was as fol- lows:
