" THE BLACK FLAG. n

The season at the Grand Opera House opened last evening to crowded house. The theater looks finely in it's handsome new dress and the new scenery with which Man. ager Bunnsll has furnished his popular place of amusement for this season received ex- pressions of great admiration from all. The new curtain painted by the famous Voeghth- lin, is gem in it's line. A scene on the Rhine has been beautifully portrayed by the skilled painters brush. ''The Black Flag" has been chosen as the opening piece, and fittingIy chosen. In the hands of good cast and staged with the new scenery, it is among the best attractions that local playgoers will have an opportunity of seeing this season. The play appeals to the interests and sympa- thies of the audience, but is too we'll known to need extended notice. Suffice to say that it was in good hands last evening. Miss Marie Acosta handled the difficult role of Na- omi Blandford, the heroine, creditably, while Hal Clarendon was good Harry Glyndon. Ed Clifton as Owen Glyndon and E. F. Gardner as Lazarus deserve mention. The theater was delightfully."- cool, thanks to the new cooling arrangements. "The Black Flag" will be repeated this and tomorrow evenings and Wednesday matinee.

Meeting Of she Board of COuncilmen-
 They Transact Little BasiRess-Rut
 Table she Ordinance to Prohlbit
 Heavy Carting Across the Green.
 President Moran was in the. chair at the meeting of the board of councilnen last eve. ming. The board did little else than concur with the board of aldermen in large amount of business transacted by the latter board at it's meeting last week. When the proposed ordinance for prohibiting heavy oarting across the Green through Temple street, which the board of aldermen referred to the committee on ordinances, came up Councilman Fleischman of the Fourth ward urged the board not to concur with the al- dermen. as in his opinion it would be wrong to interrupt free travel through Temple street. Several members thought that the pavement ought to be werth something as it cost $10,000. It was voted to table the mat ter.
 On motion of Councilman Fleischner the board voted to lay the report of the board of compensation on assessments of benefits and damages for sewer in Lafayette street on the table for one month. This action was taken to allow those who are assessed more. time before requiring payment. The a1der-' men last week voted ts accept the report and lay the assessments as recommended
 A little breeze was accustomed by the in- bLO0uC1AOA OA O RosAStOA 4O1 tAo Ahy4Ak Ol a Te1ford pavement on Dixweu avenue, or in lieu thereof of hardening the street, and that the board of public works be ordered to execute it before commencing any similar EeEks a the.erder was passed six years ago., The reading of this petition was followed by motions from all sides of the chamber. Motions to table the petition, and that it be granted were lost, while motion to refer to the committee on streets was carried. The previous action in relation to the remon- strance against sewer in Charles street was reconsidered and the remonstrants were giv- en leave to withdraw.
 Petitions were read and referred as fol- lows: For 8 street from Market to Myrtle streets, if one is to be run across the mead ows: for 8 sidewalk on both sides of Veto street between State and Orange streets; for a watering trough at the junction of Daven- port avenue, Oak and Broad streets, for top dressing with stone Mnnson street from the Canal railroad to Shelton avenue; for sewer in Exchange street, between James and Lloyd streets; for crossWalk at the corner of Shelton avenue and Gibbs street; for topsdreseing James street, between Chapel street and Grand avenue; for the lay ing of Delford pavement on Dixwell ave- nue, between Henry and Munson streets, or that the order be recalled and an order passed for hardening, and that the Board of Public Works be directed to execute the or der before beginning any new work of sini- lar character; of Silverthan & Son, for the erection of a aiGn post in fEOnt oS theiz stozs.

DROWNED IN ORANGE.

Walter Heller or Stevens Street Was
 Drowned Kesterday-A Singular Case
 Pulled Ashare Bead.
 A sad accident occurred at Diekermanis pond on Oak street just beyond the West river bridge yesterday afternoon. Two boys, one named Ford and the other Walter Hell Ter, both scarcely 12 years old and living at Al Stevens street, were playing with fishing poles on a raft near the edge of the pond. They had been amusing themselves for some time with their mimic sport when the Hel- Ter boy fell of into the water. His companion held out his fish pole for the other to take hold of, which he did after sinking twice. The Ford boy pulled his companion ashore, and what was his surprise to find that his playmate was unconcious and apparently dead. As he did not come to life the boys who were near by at the time notified people in the vicinity, and the police ambulance was telephoned for. The authorities of the town of Orange were also notified. Owing to re- pairs which are going on at the West street bridge the ambulance was delayed over an hour, and the boy's body lay without care from 5 to 6 o'clock. It was finally taken to the boys houEe on Stevens street.. Medical Examiner White was summoned and found the cause of death was drowning.

DROWNED IN THE RIVER.
The mIssfng Wernderlieh Hoy of Fall
 Haven Annex.

148Vch Anhc1s
 Since Sunday afternoon a boy of some twelve years, named Benjamin Franklin Wernderlich, has been missing from his home in Fair Haven. He had been searched for in every conceivable place by his mother, who lives with Mrs. Sancroft in the annex, and several neighbors and friends. Finally his description and statement of the case were given to the officers of the precinct. Late yesterday afternoon a body answering the description of the missing boy was found in the water near River street, Fair Haven. The boys mother instantly recognized him as her son. It is not known how he hap. pened to meet his death, but it is generally thought that he either fell of from some ei the bridges or went in swimming and ven- tured beyond his depth.

splendid Ra1Iroad Service.

One noticeable feature of the Blaine pas sage through Connecticut is the excellent accommodation and surprising rapidity of service on; the railroads. Although one would expect no hindrances or setbacks on the consolidated road, yet the great crowds greeting yesterdays train and the few min- utes' stop at the several stations where speeches were made, would, perhaps, bring some confusion and delay into the best reg ulated system Everything on the express which bore the Plumed Knight was under the immediate supervision of Superintendent Shepard.
 On leaving Stamford the train was some eight minutes late, but such was the quick time made that it arrived in Bridgeport plump on the dot when it was due. It also had to slow down 8 further distance from each station than usual to avoid accident among the crowds that filled the tracks and platforms. Much time was also lost by this. On leaving Bridgeport the train was again six minutes late, but it's arrival in this city was one minute ahead of time. It was also late in leaving here, and made up all time and came in Q minute ahead in Hartford.
 Mir. Blaine in conversing with Superintend- ent Shepard during the trip was delighted everything was conducted and expressed his satisfaction at the kindness and courtesy of everybody. One of the officers of the road eaid last evening to reporter: "Talk about the Consolidated roadt Some people think we have 8 monopoly and are ready to say anything against us. But wait few years. We will soon have the best railroad in the country; in fact it will be the Pennsylvania road of the East;

 As the train rolled into the depot the cannon roared, Wheeler dE Wilson's band played and there was great enthusiasm. The Molly Pitchers were out in full forces also. Hr. Blaine's remarks at Bridgeport were:
