Not Barnum'E.

The Gorgeous New Furniture Van of
the SmedIey Bros.
A sensation was created on the principal
streets yesterday afternoon by the new and
gorgeous furniture van of Smedley Brothers
Il Co. which was drawn by four fine Rrays.
Small boys and adults thought for moment
an advance wagon from Barnum's had arriv-
ed, and great commotion prevailed to be-
hold it. Crowds collected wherever it
stopped to see the gorgeous pictures and
decorations. On one side is a large figure
representing Fanny Davenport as Lady
Teazle in elegantly colored attire, and an
other female figure in theatrical attire; also a
large picture of Smedley's new big
warehouse on Brewery street. On
the other side is a large picture of
the palace steamer Bristol under full head
way, with steam tugs and city in the back
ground. This scene is hanked by figure of
Hope leaning on an anchor and mail clad
warrior of ancient days. In front is the pic
ture of a lion with an easel in his mouth on
which is the name of the artist, John A. An
gus and his place of business on Brewery
street, and upon the panels at the sides of
the drivers seat are tiger heads. The van
adds much to Smedley> Brothers d Co.'S. high
reputation for enterprise. The entire orua-
mental work was done by MIR. Angus and
does him great credit.

The Scheme by which Press EldridGe

The drug stores did big business In st.

and shattered individuals hobbled about
in various stages of disability in search of

posed from those who are aware of his fer
| tility of resource, as he could hardly have
reckoned the perils of the scheme since he
appeared as the pitcher of the American
Theater nine. The nine men of nerve
who screwed themselves up to the point
of facing Billy's twisters were inveigled from
the Weston Comedy company who are play
ing ''Maloney's Nomination''at the New Ha-
ven Opera House. For seven innings they
| struggled against Billy's strategy, and at one
time when they made several runs in success

preached, and this was given color by the
fact that in the interval before the inning he
was seen to go behind neighboring hedge
with the captain of the "Maloneys," and q
committee that was sent to bring him back
found a suspicious looking article passing be-
tween them. However, though it was black,
it was not wallet, and SO the charge was
groundless. It was noticed that these
trips were continued, until final

East Rock Park.


The Public Interest I'm this Public Pleas
ure GrOund-WOrk ON the Restaurant
Begun-MOre Roads to be Laid Out-The
Soldiers Monument Site and the COur-
ter's Suggestion.
Work was begun yesterday for the erection
of restaurant building on top of East Rock.
Chatfield d Grant, the builders, are the con
tractors for the same. The old Stewart
tower will be utilized and will be built six
feet higher. There will be covered veran-
dahs on the ends and front of the building
to be erected, and the ascent will be by q
fight of stairs from the outside
Ramblers to the park these pleasant days
are numerous. Yesterday some of our
prominent citizens accompanied by ladies
and children, rode out to the park and back
via the State street horse railroad, and
rambled over the park for several hours, re-
turning home tired, happy and hungry. They
were enthusiastic over some of the grand
views of scenery obtainable from different
points in the park, and said they would rec
| ommend like trip to their friends as more
enjoyable than carriage riding if one is able
to endure little walking.
President Warren of the State street horse
railroad company thought very favorably of
the idea of extending the road to Bishops
Gate, the eastern gate of the East Rock park,
and would probably extend it as soon as
other important work now in hand was out
of the way. The road will lay in all SO tons
of the confer bearing steel rails this season.
Mr.. Warren highly endorsed the center bear
ing rails as the best yet. These rails greatly
reduce the strain upon horse flesh as for in
stance when the cars are on an up grade or
full of passengers transportation over
these rails is much easier and smoother than
by the old kind. The new rails will be used
on the Cedar Hill portion of the road and
will be great Improvement.
The city engineers go out to the park to-
day to lay out routes and boundaries for more
reads.
Several Ohio people who visited East Rock
park last Sunday thought they had never in
all their travels through the western States
seen half as beautiful landscapes as can be
seen from the top of East Rock southwark,
northward, eastward or westward
A subscriber writes: see that the SOL
diers' monument committee have decided to
locate the monument on East Rock Park.
think the COURIER deserves high praise for
this result, having been the first, and SO far
as have heard, the only paper that suggest
ed that location for the monument. I was
much impressed at the time with the cogent
reasons presented by the COURIER for this
location, and the more as they came at a time
when the idea was to me revelation, as it
was no doubt to host of other people who
were celebrating the then prevailing ques
ton, whether we had not better have the
monument located on the old Green.

1t is reported that Prosecuting Agent Dali
ley is to bring recent violations of the Sunday
liquor law before the county commissioners
to-day. The cases of those who not have
been convicted will probably be continued.
It seems to be the opinion that the licenses
of those found guilty will be promptly re-
Voked, unless an appeal is taken, in which
case the decision of the Superior court, GRIM
inaI side, which meets in July next, will have
TO be awaited before the decision of the COM

A Lads Narrow Escape From Drowning.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock, while
fishing with some other small boys from the
head of the sewer dock back of the Union
depot, eleven year-old Willie Hill, of 10 Day
street. fell into the water. As he was una
BILE to swim and the tide being in, he was in
great danger of drowning. George New
comb, Of rs Day street, a colored boy of
about thirteen, bravely jumped in to save
him, but was caught by young Hill in such
manner as to make it impossible for him to
swim. One of their small companions ran
up to the depot and summoned help. Brake
man Henry Dolan went to their assistance
and after both boys had been in the water
for considerable time succeeded, by using
a long pole, in getting them both out. They
were carried into the express Office at the
depot. Drs. Whittemors and Mailhouse
were telephoned for and in the meantime
restorative measures were superintended by
Officer Kennedy. After q while both boys
recovered sufficiently to.be sent home and at
last reports were doing nicely.
