RAILROAD RELICS.
First Lantern Used by Conductor on
 New Haven and Hartford.

First Lantern Used by Conductor on
 New Haven and Hartford.
 Station Master William H. Collins, who began his career with the New York New Haven and Hartford road, May r, 1S47, has number of interest," ing relics in his office in the Union station, illustrative of the early days of railroading in this state. The col lection contains the old bell that was used at the depot when it was located on Mulberry street. It was rung regu- larly five minutes before train start ed, giving ample warning of the train s departure. This old bell is curiosity in it's way. It would not be thought of for an instants on account of it's dimen- sions, not being half as big as an old New England academy bell, but its tone is what lends an ineffable interest. 1t was suspended on spiral wire, with spring enough in it to keep the bell sounding for a minute or two at time. Old as the wire is, the spring has not been lost, the bell and its belongings being as nimble as in youth. The city boundaries were not as extensive III 1S47 as they are now and there was no difficulty in hearing the bell through the town from boundary to boundary when it was rung.
 It was not until 1S47 that tallow can dles were given up as means for light ing cars at night. Oil was introduced at that time and with it came the first tyne of lantern. The first lantern used l on the road between New Haven and Hartford is still preserved In the collec- ton of relics guarded by Station Mas ter Collins. It weighs six and one half pounds. The conductors lantern of the present period will not exceed three-fourths of a pound in weight The second type of conductors lantern to be introduced was carried on the arm by means of an iron band at the Dottor through which the arm was extended If was also a heavy and awkward de- vice, In third type the position of tht iron hand was changed, being at th' ion instead of the bottom of the Ian tern.
 An old wooden model of the railroad bridge which led to the Mulberry street depot is owned by Dr. l.. c. Taylor O this city, having come down to him al an heirloom from an ancestor in Yer mont. It shows the original ideas Il

Crier of Patent Medicines Found a
 Way to Advertise His Wares Despite
 the Rules. t2
 He is a crier of patent medicines, and his insistent voice has been heard on all the ferryboats and excursion steamers that ply in New York waters. He would go from cabin to cabin, and in each he would deliver a pompous little speech on the merits of the cure all which he represented.
 Being neither a peddler nor beggar, nor vet musician, he did not come under the rule forbidding those from plying their vacations on the boats, so he was for a time unmolested. --s..
 The commuters and excursionists were at first amused, but after While the strident tones of the oral adver- tisement wearied them, and complaints were made Being a venerable perscn, his beard patriarchal in shape, dimen- sirns and color, the boatmen broke to him gently and quietly the warning not to cry his medicines on their boats.
 Certainly will comply with your rules" said the old man, suavely. But the next evening he again made the rounds of the boats, and his voice was just as sharp, rasping and insist ent, and his little speech on the merits of a patent preparation was the same | as before, except that it was punctuat- ed with "My friend "Now, sir" My dear man." and similar phrases of ad- | dress.
 Deckhands, approaching to silence the nostrum crier found him address 1 ing his remarks to a meek-lo looking | man, and upon telling him to desist the
 boatmen were met with the bland re- ply:
 "Why, I am merely talking to my i friend here. You don't forbid talking on your boats. do you?"
 And the patent medicine crier held his ground, expounding to his friend ol confederate the merits of the article ir tones that everyone in the cabin was bound to hear.-From the New York l Times.

Ives, of the board of arbitration and media tion. in an interview printed in the AIer- iden Journal, in which he was made to express his sympathy with the Far Ha- ven and Westville Railroad company in the recent strike of motormen and con- ductors in that city. Executive Secre- tary Robinson and Francis Atwater, president of the Meriden Journal com pany, were present with the acting gov ernor and MT. Ives. The latter gave his version of the interview as already printed, that he declined to say any thing to the reporter, referring him to the New Haven morning papers of Monday, and then carrying on a con- yersation with two friends about strikes in general. He styled his remarks as random talk" He said the reporter became bewildered, and connected his remarks with the New Haven strike He denied the statement that his sym Ipathies were entirely with the trolley company. When asked by Acting Gov ernor Keeler if he did not consider he was talking in a public place. MT. Ives replied that he was talking to an olo friend, a private citizen, and not fol publication. He did not believe the re- porter deliberately misrepresented him MT. Atwater when called stated that tho reported had quoted MT. Ives correctly and offered in evidence the statement oi one of the listeners. The acting gover' nor will endeavor to have the reporter
 present at the next hearing.

It is named Only a Shop Girl,' and will be the means of introducing in a stellar role that versatile and magnetic little com- edienne Lottie Williams Salter. Of the play itself it may be superfiuous to speak, because, like the reading of a
 book, one who is told much about It
 does not care to read it, no matter how interesting it may be or how clever it's authoress' reputation. Of the star noth- ing new can be said she has appeared here quite often in a variety of charac- ters and always acquainted herself in most satisfactory manner. The sup porting company is a very large and carefully selected coterie of individual
 merit, while the entire four acts are embellished in frame of scenical
