Lavish Decorations Cover All the Prin-
cipal Buildings.
NEW YORK April 30, 18S9-The city is
literally clothed in flags and bunting, and
ou all sides are evidences of lavish dis
play of money in decorations. OF the
buildings below the City Hall the most
noticeable are those Immediately opposite
tine Equitable Building, the Drexef- Nor
gan Building, the Custom House, the
various exchanges and the Sub Treasury
Building. The eight massive columns in
front of the latter building. are entwined
with flags, and from each column United
States shield is displayed.
The stand on which the exercises will
take place tomorrow is covered with
numberless tastefully arranged flags and
coats of arms Large American flags
cover the walls of the barge office, and
each window is framed with The National
emblem.
The decorations on Trinity Church are
mainly about the entrance, and consist of
a simple but beautiful draping Of large
flags. From window in the steeple pro
tudes a pole on which is suspended a large
flag.
The decorations on the City Hall are of
q most artistic nature. Immediately over
the entrance are eight American flags, ar
ranged in the form of half rosettes. The
balcony above is trimmed with bunting,
each corner held with shield surrounded
by half dozen small flags, and, in the
centre, surmounted by number of flags,
is portrait of George Washington
Above the balcony is set large picture
representing a collection of colonial
flags. 1t is fianked at either
side by triangularly draped flags,
and each cornerof the central extension of
the building is hidden beneath the folds
of large nag. A huge rosette, having
for centre the escutcheon of the United
States, forms top piece. Each window
in the front has a base consisting of a half
rosette of flags and coat of arms of some
foreign country, and above them float
small colonial flags. In the spaces be-
tween the windows appear the arms of
the States. The roof is edged with
crimped bunting.

Crowds at the Depots and Along the
River Front.
The decorations in this city in honor OF
the Centennial are very general The main
displays are among the stores, although
many of the private houses are decorated
more or less. Every building bears sin
gle fiag,.if nothing more. The great
amount of decorations, however, are on
Commencing with Taylor's Hotel and
ending with Mullins furniture store
(most beautifully decoratedl, the
eSn eSSatnnous greiSiisa iine of red, aa aH@Gse Mhte
and blue Above that point the line be-
comes broken, though nearly every build
ing has some flags upon it.
Taylor's Hotel is pretty sight with the
festoons of red, white and blue
cloth and the numerous flags.
The pillars are wound with
the national colors and flags are prettily
displayed in the windows. The two hotels
adjoining, the Exchange and the Jersey
bunting.
The decorations ON Davis tailoring es-
tablishment are very pretty. A flag fiut-
ters from every window in the Weldon
Building
The scene in and about the Pennsylva
mia depot is animating. There is no
crush. The company anticipated the
crowds and was prepared for them.
Part of the morning travel was, how
ever, the other way. Wilson and Van
Houten Posts, of this city, and a Post from
Brooklyn were among the passengers on
the early morning trains for Elizabeth.
About half-paSt nine three hundred
members of the Pennsylvania legislature
arrived and took possession of the gaily
decorated steamer Kaaterskill and
steamed merrily off for Elizabeth They
were soon followed by five companies of
the Fourth Virginia Regiment, of Nor
folk, about 400 men, under command of
Colonel Hudgins.
Many of the railroad officials, with their
families, boarded the tugs Mercer. Della
ware, America, Horseman, Pennsylvania,
Remover and Pittsburg, which were all
resplenGent with national marine decora-
tions, and started off to witness the naval
parade.
The stream that rolled down Montgom-
cry street, however, was aiming for the
ferry gates. Every boat that left the piers
was jammed to suffocation. Among those
met on one of the boats were ex-Mayor
Collins, Charles L. Corbin and Washing
ton B. Williams, well known members of
the Hudson county bar.
At the Erie depot the rush is unprece-
dented. But Chief Clerk Walcott reports
everything lovely" Six hundred car
loads of passengers will have been landed
before midnight. Tomorrow double the
amount of human traffic is anticipated
The Hill bore holiday aspect this
morning. The streets were filled with
people who had the appearance of travel
iers bent upon u pleasure tour. The
stores were all open, but they
might just as well have been
closed, for all the business they
did. The courts opened as usual, but
were adjourned until Wednesday. The
public offices were almost deserted.
Many of the residences, especially on
Bergen avenue, were quite profusely
decorated with flags, and nearly all the
stores had flag or red, white and blue
Streamer.
Crowds gathered on the water front,

SCARED BY A CALLI0PE.
a RUNAWAY HORSE TRAMPLEs ON
4 WOMAN And TWO GIRLS.

They Were Watching the Parade When
the Frightened Animal Dashed Into
the Crowd.
A runaway horse knocked down an old
woman and two children during the par
ade of Barnum's circus this morning.
The woman is Bridget Ratigan, of No.
l49 Morgan street, and the children are
Annie Donohue, aged seven years, who
lives at the corner of Warren and Morgan
streets, and Maggie McGarry, aged eight
years, of Bay street, near Henderson
street.
- The procession was passing down Hen
derson street and Mrs. Ratigan and the
little girls were watching the curiosities
with much pleasure. They were greatly
pleased with the mounted Arabs and with
the elephants, and when the steam cali
ope approached their delight was UNI
bounded. 1t was not SO with the horse
driven by Hugh McGovern, an employee
OF Warren & Mahoney, carpenters.
The horse became terrified and Nc
Govern, swho is thirteen-year-old boy,
could not control him. The animal dashed
blindly into the crowd and ran directly
against Mrs. Ratigan. She was knocked
down and trampled on
The frightened animal next struck
Annie Donohue with one of its fore feet,
knocking her from beneath the wheels
| against the curbstone. Little Maggie Nc
Garry was standing behind the
place that Annie occupied, and she
was also struck and knocked down and
run over. She was picked up first and
taken into the saloon of John Kennedy,
| and Mrs. Ratigan and Annie Donohue
were also conveyed there few moments
later. They were both unconscious
Thomas Ratigan the injured woman's
son, works there as bartender, and he
made every effort to aid the three physi-
clans who were summoned Mrs. Ratigan
is about fifty-five years old and very stout.
She was much bruised on the left side
from head to foot. She was insensible
when taken into the bar room.
Fear is entertained that she may not re-
cover.
Annie Donohue was taken from the bar
room to her home unconscious, and was in
that condition an hour later. DIR. Craven
says her collar bone is broken and thinks
that she is suffering from internal in
juries
Maggie McGarry is also severely hurt,
but her injuries are not dangerous Her
nose was struck by the horses hoof and
bruised, and her body is bruised all over,
but DR.. Bowman does not fear internal
injuries.

SAID HE WAS A BARON.
But He Wasn't. and Shoedealer Rys-
zcynski Was Deceived.

But He Wasn't. and Shoedealer Rys-
zcynski Was Deceived.
He said he was Baron Won Fatherberg
when he went into Ryszcynski's shoe
store on Washington street in Hoboken
on Saturday evening to buy 500 worth of
shoes. He said he was about to sail for
Germany and wanted to take some speci-
men American shoes over the water with
him.
Ryszcynski thought he acted strangely,
and called the attention of the police to
him. He was taken in under cover for
the night and booked as plain Gustav Won
Fatherberg
Later in the day Recorder McDonough
gave him hearing, and then concluded
to hold him till this morning. At the
opening of the Recorders Court today he
seemed rational enough and was released.
The police have no idea that he is q
Baron, and as for sailing for his baronial
estates across the sea, the police don't see
how he can do that without either money
or passage tickets.

9, 177e, before the signing of the Declara
ton of independence


At the junction of Elizabeth avenue,
High street and First avenue, the process
sion turned to the right through First
avenue. This was blunder Long ago,
before there was any Elizabeth avenue be-
yond this point, this was ''The Cross
roads, the right hand road being called
the ..'Old Point Road" while the one to
the left was the "New Point Road"
The committee, in hunting up Washing
toms course, thought of course that he
had gone by the old road-forgetting that
road a century and half old might
still be called the new" road in 1888, if
the other road had been in existence
longer
Washington went by the New Point
on the spot where the Singer Sewing
Machine Factory now stands, and took
the ferry there. Lossing's Field Book OF
the Revolution gives this as fact, and
| one of the thirteen little girls represent
ing the original States, who .strewed
tinctly remembered going to Cranes
Tavern, and told of It just before her
death only few years ago. Beside that,
an advertisement of the sale of Cranes
Tavern only few years afterward, said
this was the only ferry to New York.
HOW THE PRESIDENT SAILED.
The water front at Elizabeth was
thronged with people, and the numerous
craft all tricked out in their gayest bunt-
ing, gave the Kills most picturesque ap-
pearance.
The police arrangements were much
better there than at the depot and the
President was conducted without much
trouble to the Alcyone boathouse.
There he embarked in barge manned
by United States blue jackets, and, amid
the roar of artillery and the screeching OF
the whistles of the vessels, was pulled out
to the United States steamship Despatch.
Guns doomed forth a salute, the Presi-
dents flag was run to the fore, and the
President and his party sailed for New
York, followed by fiotilla of screaming
tugs and larger vessels.
Governor Green and his immediate
party followed in the steam yacht Meteor
from the fore of which the State flag Of
New Jersey fioated proudly.
