A Visit From An Expert Rife Marks
One of the callers at the COURIER office
last evening was Captain Henry B. Hicks,
the original "Texas Harry" who has
served in the capacity of United States
government Indian scout, guide and In
dian agent. He is called the champion
all-around rifle and revolver expert,as he
has won more than 200 matches, one of
which was for the championship of the
world at the Paris, France, exposition in
August, 1889. On his vest he wears as
many medals as he can conveniently carry
there. These medals are part of his
collection of badges, which numbers 293
He has travelled extensively in foreign
countries where he has been an honor to
American marksmen. In Russia he gave
an exhibition of wonderful shooting be-
fore the Gear and 10000 soldiers of the
Russian army. For his marvellous Ameri-
can exhibition of shooting he received the
highest decorations, viz: The Iron Cross,
by special order of the Gar He also re-
ceived similar honors in other countries
'Texas Harry has stated that New
Haven may be proud Of being the home of
the Winchester rifle which has a world
wide reputation and is his favorite rifle

THE RAIL MATTER SETTLED

For a While Mt Least-The II Rail to
be Laid on State and Carlisle
Streets.
The discussion of rails for street car
tracks was the predominant topic before
the board of public works last night. The
meeting was special one appointed to
consider the question of proper rail for
State street from Chapel to the depot.
Mayor Peck presided and Commissioner
Todd was absent.
President Hoadley B. Ives of the Fair
Haven and Westville road appeared to
strongly object to petition asking that
the board direct the company to lay the
narrow grooved rail. He insisted upon the
T rail and said if this rail was used and the
pavement kept in proper repair, as it
should be, but is not by the city, no better
or safer rail could be obtained. He said it
would take months before T rail with
wide fange at the base could be manufac-
tured by the mills, land the company wishes
to begin it's work Immediately.
Commissioner Whitney opposed the T
rail very strongly. 1t was finally voted,
however, to allow the road to lay the T
rail upon the State street branch.
Apetition signed by large number of
property owners of the Fourth ward asked
that the board grant the West Haven road
the privilege Of laying tracks through Car
Isle street, where the road has already be-
gun this work and lacks 500 feet of COM
plotting it. s5 s( I
Commissioner Atwater moved the petition
be granted, with the provision that no
switches be placed in this street, and that
Commissioner States be appointed COM
mittee of the board to see that this road
give suitable bond to the city as guar
antee against any claims for damages which
may result from the laying of the rails.
This motion was passed.
Commissioner Whitney desired to add
an amendment that the road be given this
privilege provided the corporation counsel
declared it according to law. This amend
ment was not accepted. This action of
the board Of public works is supposed to
settle, for time, at least, the contest be-
fore the municipal boards of the friends
and opponents Of the I and grooved rails
for street car tracks.

The Harrison Revival.


To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
A spellbound congregation listened last
evening to thrilling sermon entitled "a
Beautiful Woman" delivered by Evangel-
ist Harrison. Not only was the seating
capacity occupied, but there was scarcely
any standing room. An unusual calmness,
a reserve, pervaded the entire audience
the whole evening through. DIR. McChes-
ney remarked that it was 80 quiet that per-
sons of guilty conscience could hear the
throb of their troubled hearts. When the
evangelist asked those to stand who knew
that they were saved the majority of the
house arose.
In these closing nights of Rev. Mr.. Har-
rison's work in this city many unsaved
souls are realizing their true condition
and are embracing this opportunity of
escaping from the wrath to come If you
are not Christian turn to God before it
is too late.
Tonight at 7:3O the evangelist will
preach; subject, 'Harvest Time"
The afternoon meetings all this week
have been unusually interesting. Meeting
this afternoon at o'clock.
To-night's sermon will be the last
preached by the evangelist in this city.
Tomorrow night the farewell service
will be held.

Selection of Seats for the Gounod
Concert.
The selection of seats for the Gounod
concert will open this morning OF o'clock
at the Hyperion. The popularity of these
concerts is SO firmly established that al
ready the subscription list is very large.
An interesting feature in the program
will be the devotion of portion of it to
several noted American compositions,
which will be heard in New Haven for the
first time.
Of Miss Olive Mead, the violinist of the
occasion, the Cambridge Press thus highly
speaks:
Perhaps the commonly accepted proverb, "a
prophet is always without fame in his own
country, does not apply to home artists, for
certainly Miss Olive Mead is notable exception
to this rule. An enthusiastic reception was ac-
corded this young artistic at the recent concert
given by the BoyIston club in Music hail. Boston.
The performance of Vieuxtemps Ballade and
Polonaise was exceedingly fine, and the Gypsy
Dance by Sarasata was given with crisp, jaunty
abandon which its characteristics demanded.
Both talent Of a high order and conscientious,
painstaking application were here displayed,
while even the pathos, which comes only with
maturity Of years. seemed not lacking.
