 Cornelius Booram of Cheshire is a young man of pure, unadulterated nerve, if his actions in New Haven yes- terday are any indications of his nerv- ous state He also has a gall that would make a book agent turn green with envy. The parents of Cornelius, who are well to do and worthy residents of Cheshire were not at home yesterday. They were in New London having gone there to spend the Fourth with friends. Cornelius fed the pigs at the farm up in Cheshire and watered the stock yes
 terday morning. After that he grew lonesome and concluded to come down to New Haven to see the sights of this pair and drove down to the city. Here he called at the residence of a young lady friend on Bond street and asked her to take ride.
 The young lady was willing to go, and the couple drove about the city. Finally they drove down towards City Point, and the young lady concluded to call on a friend who lived down that way. While she was calling Cornelius hitched his team and wandered down on Sea street for walk. At 106 and 10S Sea street Is Smiths restaurant and pool room. Cornelius in the course of his walk came to this restaurant, and as he was little short of cash con cluded to go into business at that stand. Walking around to the rear ot the place he cooIly kicked in the door and entering opened the door for busi-
 ness, after taking $4 from the cash reg ister. After running the place for an
 hour and half he concluded that he had cash enough to last little while, and going back to where his lady friend was calling, he called for her and they
 drove away.

 started for other fields to conquer. By
 this time the proprietor of the restau
