The ApncheS.

Las Vegas, N. N, Sept. 15--Io,day q
train of ten coaches came from the south
bringing the Chiricahna and Warm
Spring Apaches from San Carlos reser-
walton in Arizona to Florida. There
were AGO sava2es. guarded by three COM
panies of United states infant J, under
command of Col. Wade and Maj. Djckie.
Although none of them have been
on the warpath since Geronimo
broke loose, it was we'll understood
that they were furnishing his band with
ammunition, and there was no telling
what moment they might break out. For
this reason the government decided to
shirl them off to Florida, where they
could do no harm. More than half Of
the Indians are squsws aud their child
rem, and g more repulsive and hideous
mass Of humanity was never crowded in
to an immigrant sleeper before. The
doors were closely guarded by soldiers.

 About 400 children representing Christ church, Church of the Ascension, St. James, church, Westville, Grace church and the Trinity Home mission of this city, united in a picnic at High Rock Grove yesterday. They left by special train of ten cars over the Derby railroad shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and returned about o'clock in the evening.

THE WEST END PARK.

The Town Authorities Are Willing
 That Land Shall Be Taken Under
 Certain Conditions.
 The special committee to consider the lay out of park on the old town farm met in room 10 City Hall last evening and heard what representatives of the Board of Select say upon the subject.
 Gardner Morse, for the trustees, said: The ideas of the trustees are to have the park, if it is made, to run the whole length from Sherman avenue west. Of course we have no power to hinder the Common Council from laying out the park as they please. Soon after the old alrlshouse was built and the property was then deeded to trus- tees, the land to be disposed of from time to time for the benefit of the towns poor. The trustees and the Selectmen are the only ones that have right to sell this land, and one cannot act without the other. The trustees have no objection to the city's taking fifty feet of land on each side of Martin street for a park, provided they are not assessed for benefits. He said the trustees wanted park and the streets laid out immediately, if it was to be done at all, so that they could go ahead and sell lots.
 Town Agent Reynolds said the Selectmen or trustees could not sell or give away the land for park, but they were perfectly will ing that the city should take the land for park, provided they commence at Sherman avenue and go as far west as they please. If they should not do this then there would likely be opposition.
 After hearing the views of the town au- thorities the committee adjourned until next Monday afternoon at o'clock.

MYSTIC ISLAND.
Excursion of The Elm City-A Delight
 full Time RepOrted.

Excursion of The Elm CftY-A Delight"
 full Time Reported.
 The excursion of the Elm City to Mystic Island yesterday was enjoyed by a party of about three hundred, all of whom are loud in their praises of the sail through the Sound and the beauty of the island itself Said one of the party last evening: ''I never enjoyed myself better in my life. The party was very respectable one and made up principal ly of families who, desiring to enjoy the in vigorating breezes that such a trip affords, took day off, and I can assure you they en- joyed it." On arriving at the island many of the party employed their time in fishing from the deck of the steamer, and with good luck. Captain Bishop of the Elm City, Pilot Hardy, George Norton and Sylvanus Butler took small boat and rowing a short dis tance to some rocks cast their lines over board and during the short time they re- mained caught from fifty to sixty pounds of blackfsh and sea bass There are plenty of boats at the island that can be hired at reasonable rates, and plenty of bait can be obtained for those who are fond of fishing. There are also a plenty of restaurants on the island where shore dinners can be obtained at reasonable prices. Steamed clans and oysters can also be obtained in large or small quantities, costing from dime to twenty five cents. The shade trees, though not abundant, are sufficient to protect people from the rays of the sun, and the flower gar dens scattered here and there add to the beauty of the location.
 The Elm City will make another excursion to Mystic Island on Saturday, and she will no doubt carry large party. The fare for the round trip is only seventy-fve cents. Thomas orchestra furnishes music on the boat, which adds much to the pleasure of the excursion
