Smith of New York.
There were three funerals from st.

Kelly and Miss Annie, youngest daugh-

1t is about two years since John G.
Rowland took charge of the shoe store
at 405 Main street and fortune has smiled
upon upon him ever since. 1t has be-
come necessary to enlarge and increase
his business more than once and to in
crease his facilities for handling this
augmented volume of business. When
not securing the country for bargains,
Mr. Rowland is at his desk here, direct
ing the business in person. Seven clerks
are constantly employed and the number
is increased to IL on special occasions.
Just now, Mr. Rowland is having great
sale of stock bought of the George A.
Denham bankrupt stock. These goods
are sold at extremely low prices, but
they are as fully warranted as any goods,
sold at any price. This sale began JAN
uary and the goods will be hustled out
in quick order. All regular goods are
reduced during this sale. The prices
look well on paper, but they look better
ON the shoes. Read the list elsewhere.
The common council attempted to COM
pei local horse car lines to adopt double
cars with conductors, Monday evening,
but both boards did not agree. Officers
of both companies laugh at the attempt.
1t will surprise many, however, to know
that the Bridgeport Horse Railroad Co.
has employed conductors ON the busiest
sections of their line since last June. A
BEE reporter found one of them, AN even
ing or two ago, who said, tsEvery even
ing we run ON Main street, between State
street and East Washington avenue,
where there is the most travel. Two of
us are here; when a rush is expected, a
third man runs out State street, "But
you don't take fares and make change PIT
''If the car is crowded and the fare box
cannot be easily reached, we do" do
you think that the company will put con-
ductors on all cars % ssWell, not at pres
ent. Undoubtedly they will eventually,
but it would not pay now. In spite of
the newspaper talk about these cars,
they are large enough for the present,
unless travel is conferred ON one portion
of the line; and then you couldn't salts
fly them with anything. &C. X. Averill,
