Haven, ran away yesterday morning, proyid-

the bray on the donkey and its ears were
alone visible above the heads of the confused
struggling and excited herd of somewhat less

BETTER Than Ever BEFORE.

The Hartford Courant yesterday most cor
rectly remarks as follows:
The new time table of the Consolidated
road has already proved its general accepta-
bility, and, if a vote of the travellers over the
line were taken, only few would be found
in favor of returning to the old and uusyste-
matte scheme that prevailed until a few
months ago. Some commuters at the lower
end of the line have complained because they
dy not adjust themselves to the new circum-
stances, but the travelling public as whole
has sized up the new schedule to. it's own salts
faction and gives it full approval. The
Connecticut service Is certainly better than it
ever was before

BEAUTY AND THE BEAT.
Mourning for an Absent Trio--Sev-
erai Marrying Men Dlsap-


pointed,
There are several mourners in san
Antonio today. Not real mourners
for friends or relatives passed away,
nut mournerS over the frality Oh
human nature and human promises.
All this is on account of the vastness
of Pullman conductors cheek ana
mis- shrinking wife's care in helping
her hus band out in his efforts to get
as much as possible for nothing. Their
creditors and dupes are grooming ana
the walls of anguish arise chiefly
from boarding house keepers, friends
who have loaned them various sums
of money and bar men who have been
foolish enough to credit the husband
for many drinks. The gentleman
came here from st. Louis and worked
for several months on one road ana
then another until he had made the
rounds. Then he went to Mexico
and left his wife here to get along as
best she could. Returning some
months ago he squandered all his
money earned in the land of tamale,-
and as his wife was about to be con-
fined they were in pretty bad fix I'M
til some friends helped them out. Then
they began moving from house to-
house, paying no bills, although he
had good job on one of the railroads,
until everybody began to get onto
their SYSTEM when he skipped out
and his wife soon followed.
But there is some more to be told
She had a sister, tall. good looking.
and winsome in her ways, with just
enough dash and chic TO render her
mark for bloods and women-loving
"men about town." She secured q
position as saleslady in a dry goods
store down town and it was not long
before she had made mash ON the
clerks, one of whom, related TO the
proprietor, became so infatuated that
he had to give her valuable ring and
proposed matrimony. For an ANeri--
can girl to wed an Israelite was not to-
her taste, so she veered off and on
with him, meanwhile getting a.
brother of his pretty badly stuck"
She also made a decided hit on a
young livery stable man, and numer--
Gus We're the buggy rides he took heE>
She got fine ring from him also, and
recently when she left, she took this
with her, despite his entreaties to-
give him back the ring. The clerks
ring it is told, was pawned for SO to-
buy her q railroad ticket to st. Louis.
Poor girl, it looks as though she was
compelled to leave the city to escape
the attentions of her admirers and so
as not to offend their feelings by re-
fusals of their many offers of marriage,
does it not?
