THE GREAT CIRCUS.
Iungling Brothers Greatest Show Enter tains All Ansonia and Vicinity.


 tains All Ansonia and Vicinity.
 Yesterdays Ansonia Sentinel says: Ringling Brothers Worlds Greatest show, which appears in New Haven next Monday, proved great revelation to Boston, where the papers declared unanimously that their show Is the best ever seen at the Hub. The Herald" and "Globe" so far departed from their time-honored custom as to declare edi- torially that 1t was the paragon of amusement enterprises. The show ar rived in Ansonia at a late hour this morning, due to delay just outside of New Haven. It came in three sections and on sixty cars and was transported with the military precision which marks its advent direct to the show grounds. The parade came like a vision of beauty into the city. Ansonia acknowledged it to be the finest. street pageant ever seen in the city.
 The horses are gems of equine per lection. There was one general note of commendation heard on all sides. The menagerie animals proved to be perfect specimens of their kind, the bands played real music and many of the performers, arrayed in morning costume, rode in elegant English traps, novelty highly appreciated by the people. There was freshness, exhil- eration and gentility about the Ring ling Brothers parade and about the people in it that highly commended it to our people.
 The parade took fifteen minutes to pass a given point. There were four bands and one steam calliope in the pa- rade. The elephants numbered eight and were fine beasts. It was so late that at first they decided not to pa- rade in Derby, but changed their minds after bills had been printed and went over the whole route.
 There were numerous exceedingly strong features In Ringing Brothers performance, among them the exceed ingly difficult acrobatic acts of the Eddy family, the graceful and poetic evolutions of the Daccmas, Partisan aerialists, the Landauer troupe of nine flexible models in series of artistic groupings. Graceful equestrian spec falties by Miles. Ryland and Lowande, Messrs. Rooney, Hollis and others.

THE GING MURDER.
Harry Haywards Direct Examine
ton Concluded.
He Denies All Completely With the Crime
And Charges Adry as the Bad Han
who Instigsted the Commits
sion of the Deed.

MISNEAPoLIs, Feb. e0-The feature
of yesterday was the testimony of
George Grinbell. who told an apparent
~ flawless story, although his reputa-
ton is not altogether without stain.
He has been an inmate of the work
house. and was once fined $500 in the
United States court for sending his own
wife an indecent letter. He stated
that at about T;10 on the night of Mon
day, Dec, 3. while he was waiting near
Fifth street and First avenue north for
a rendezvous with n female acquaint-
ance, he observed a gentlemen who
seemed to be similarly employed. Such
proved TO be the case, when few
minutes later carriage, which he says
was the Goosman rig, the same that
Miss Cling had, drove up. The only oc-
cupant was young lady who seemed
anxious to conceal herself. After some
talk in which the waiting gentleman
showed himself to be displeased be-
cause the woman did not bring scme-
thing with her. he got into the car
riage and drove away with her.
While the facts as related by Grin
bell was sufficient to produce first
class sensation, they had the added
interest of precipitating a bitter con-
troversy between Mr.. Nye and Mr..
Erwin. which ended only when the
court Threatened TO impose fine.

In.nnit, re.tlmony Sol Allowed.

HIINNEAI,UIas, Feb 21.-The feature
of yesterday WAS the several tllts he
tween Mr.. Erwin and the court. The
attorney attempted to introduce his
theory of Adry's insanity and the court
would not let it in except with refer
ence to the facts he had testified to, and
not generally.
A most important piece of testimony
was given by this witness, going to the
discredit of the evidence of Blixt. The
assassin stated that after returning to
the flats after killing Miss Cling, he
went TO Harry's fiat, the doors having
been left open for him, and changed
the cartridges in the revolver, then put
it under Harry's pillow. Mrs. Hay
ward stated positively that she started
to write a letter and ran out of ink.
She went to Harry's room to fill her
ink well, found both doors locked, and
rang the bell There was no one there,
This occurred later than $3.50 o'clock
that night She was quite sure of the
date.
Horace Wells, paying teller for the
City Bank, gave some good testimony,
showing that Harry had cashed large
checks at his window in November, and
that several times he brought small
money and had it changed for 500 bills.
This corroborated the evidence of Mr..
Goodsell Harry's cousin, who said
Harry had 50 bills of 500 each in Chi
cago aside from other money.
w. w. Hayward inpeached Blixt on
some trivial points in regard to the pur-
chase of the valve, admitting portions
of his story. lie made one point, how
ever, by stating that he had bought
two Il rails Ave feet long upon an order
from Blixt, who wanted some irons to
repair the furnace. Blixt, he said, had
used one of them, and not the other.
In Blixt's evidence he denied knowing
where the rail came from.
lie was positive that the day Adry
says Harry stated that the time had
come TO kill the dressmaker he was in
the Office all the morning, and that the
boys had no such talk. lie corroborat-
c I his wife as to her going for ink, and
the time Harry left their fiat the night
of the murder. lie had looked at his
watch and it was Is minutes of o'clock.
The witness coroborated his wife in
that portion of her testimony where
she said Adry was violent on Oct. z.
and called his mother names which re-
Elected upon her character.
