nERRMANN,s FINE HORSES.

Five ThOroughbreds In His Stable Car at
 the Depot-Sumptuous Style in Which
 the Magician Travels-Severa1 Hobby
 Carriages.
 Alexander Hermann, the famous ma gician, and wife travel about the coun- try in princely style during their show season and have arranged this winter to have even more sumptuous conven- fences in travelling than ever before. Hermann's train consists of four cars, the parlor and dining car, a kitchen car, stable car and baggage car. The greatest master of the magic art Is now touring New England on one night stands and takeswith him only his sta ble car, leaving the other three in New York until he starts on his western tour for the season. The stable car ar rived in New Haven yesterday after noon and is now switched near the railroad building. In the car are Her mann's five blooded horses, Addie, Magic, Cock Robin, Trilby and Mildred. They are beautiful clean brushed an- | finals of the best thoroughbred blood and MT. and Mrs. Hermann use them 1 to drive about the various cities at which they stop. Trilby and Magic are usually driven In team and are goers, having a team record of 2:15. Two l hostlers accompany the horses and have sleeping apartments in the car with their charges. The car is 73- | footer and in one end are the car riage before which Hermann drives his speeders. There is fine coupe of oak and finished inside with russet leather, I in which he drives to and from the theater, & dashing tandem, a slick little rubber tired road wagon, and large up-to- date tally-ho coach in which four horses are driven. The car is heated by steam generated by plant in the car, and Is lighted by gas furnished by a large storage tank, which is filled wherever stops are made.
 The stable for the five horses are handily arranged In one end of the car tanks of hot and cold water are suspended overhead for cleaning and washing the equines. There are five sets of harness, one for each rig, in a neat case and all are done in silver trimmings with the monogram "A. H. .'' at one side of each bridle. In frame hung at one side of the stable are a number of premium badges won by the horses at the San Francisco horse show in 1895 and MT. Hermann hopes next year to show more ribbons, as he has his entire stable entered at the New York horse show to be held neXt month.
 Hermann has played one nigh stands thus far this season in Worces. ter, Lynn, Springfield, Northampton Norwich and New London, and played last evening in Middletown, where Gov ernor Coffin attended the performance His genial private secretary Gent Riley, who was formerly on the New York Herald staff, arrived in town las evening, and his first care was to set that the horses were well looked af ter by their tenders. MT. Riley ha' been with Hermann for five years anC is a hustler in the business.

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT
Wesley Gives His Reasons for Not
Prosecuting Moropulus


In yesterdays issue particulars were
given of a discrepancy which had oc-
CURED between A. X. Moropulus, o
Greek. who controls several store build
ings on Third street. between Spring
and Broadway, and John C.. Wesley, a
barber, one of his tenants. Mr., Wesley
gives his side of the story as follows:
He rented store of Moropulus, the lat
ter reserving desk room for himself,
Later on his landlord wanted to usurp
portion of the store, besides the part
occupied by his desk and rent 1t to
other parties.
To this Wesley objected and ordered
Moropulus from the premises, claim
ing that as he had paid his rent he was
entitled to the full use of the place, A
general quarrel ensued and the Greek
is alleged to have pulled Off his coat and
wanted to fight The next day Wesley
swore out warrant for his arrest for
disturbance Of the peace and the land
lord was taken into the public court.
Then Wesley claims Moropulus APP
preached him and begged to have the
complaint dismissed. To secure this
he gave Wesley a new lease at IS a
month reduction of rent, for four months,
in consideration Of which the latter
paid IS and. costs and had the. case
Quashed.
