The dashboard of the buggy was kicked in, but MT. Jarrett had control of the animal until turning the corner at East street and Water streets, when he was thrown out. Knowing that his sister was in the carriage, he heroi- cally held on and tried to stop the horse, be- ing dragged along Water street for consid- erable distance. His sister was thrown out further up the street, At Wallace street the horse got freed from the buggy and had not been caught up to late hour. MT. Jar rett was cut and bruised about the head and face and on the arms. How his sister es- capped injury is miraculous.

Rntertainments.
BOB BURDErTE TALKS.


 Mir. Robert J. Burdette lectured last even- ing at the First Baptist church on "Home." !" He had a most appreciative audience, which nearly filled the body of the house. At times he was pathetic and eloquent, and again he waxed real humorous. "Bob" hits the truth every time when he lays great stress on the value of the American home, but he doesn't see much that is amusing in the old-tash- toned guest chamber. The audience, how ever, had good deal of laughter at his dis cussion of it. Mc. Burdstte is well versed in the local affairs, and his hits were well received. On the whole it was 6 most en- enjoyable evening.
 SIBERIA.
 Bartley CampbelIs great drama "Siberia" was presented at the New Haven Opera House last evening to large audience. The play has been presented here before, but never as we'll as last night. ''Siberia" is a romantic play, and is undoubtedly Bartley Campbell'e greatest effort. The plot is ab. sorbing and full of interest to the last and Is interpreted by strong company in every partibuiar. Miss Eleanor Moretti was charm ing in the leading role of 'Sara." She is an actress of power ingenuity. Forrest Robinson as s'NiageE, in love with "Sara," was excellent Others of the company, who did we'll are: James s. Mafit, jr., Charles B. Wate, Charles Frew, Miss Minnie Radcliffe and Miss Frankie Mcclellan. The scenery is one of the features, and some of 1t is new this season. The play will be repeated this and tomorrow evenings and to morrow at- ternoon.
 JOE JEFFERSON.
 Joseph Jefferson, the distinguished come dian, will be the attraction at the New Ha- ven Opera Honss on Thanksgiving day and night. At the matinee ''The Cricket on the Hearth" and ''Lend Me Five Shillings," will be produced, 'tRip Van Wrinkle" in the even- ing. Harry E. Husted, business manager, was in town last evening completing the arr arrangements.
 DARK SIDE.
 'sDark Side of a Great City," written by Jerome Stevens, will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House the first three days of nest week.

 GRAND OPERA HOUSE..
 Another large audience applauded Min nie Oscar Gray and her company last night in the 'sold Oaken Bucket" Mics Gray has certainly good hold on the affec- etions of the smusement-loving people, for each time she visits this city she ia enthnsi- aaticaIly received by large audiences. Billy Kenny and Billy Williams are as funny as ever. There will be matinee to-day.

 I think hear the reader making fun of the above heading and exclaimin0. "The idea of recipe for sweeping @ carpetl" But that is just what mean to say. If there is an abominatian of domestic life it is the hired girl who will not sweep clean. Of the four girls that have employed in the last twelve years, only one knew how to sweep we'll. At the three was always getting provoked for just this reason; and indeed, one of them gave her notice because found fault with her for this one thing. After she went I purchased carpet sweeper and used it my self until maiden number four was engaged. She was Yankee, 8 Vermonter, tall, tough and terrible as an army with dish cloths. Her name was Celestia, but she pronounced 1t like f'Slasher," and slasher she was and is, for still she reigns among us. I did not fancy her at first, and in my heart of hearts determined that she would never suit me in the world. She came on Monday and she woshed well. She ironsd on Tuesday and magnifed the flat irons. Wednesday I sent her into the parlor to sweep, and in e few minutes went down to oversee her; she had set the carpet sweeper on the mantel-she and was sprinkling my carpet with water that looked as if 1t had come t-of the mop pail. o, how angry was. My elegant car pet doused with slopsi 70, git outl" Celes- tia exclaimed coolly, t'that lar won't hurt yer floor kiverl" That was too much, and told her to consider herself discharged. "Wali" she said and went to her room, while went to mine. At noon when I went to show John where the damage had been done, to my surprise I found that that part of the carpet which had been swept was brighter than it had been for months. "What wuz iti" Celestia said when called on her for an explanation. "Why, nothin'. only I put Pearline in the water to lay the dust, jedgin' 1t wud clean out of the wash-tub as well as in itl" And. dear reader, she was right, and that is the recipe. It works like charm, injures no carpet, and is fine. Just try it. L. o. M.
