During the evening continual stream of people flowed into the store but it was large enough to receive all of them. Many fingered for an hour or two in admiring the hand some display, which includes the latest and newest in all lines. To add to the pleasure of the occasion Faul- mann's orchestra furnished music. No efforts were made to sell goods as the proprietors and clerks devoted all their time in showing the visitors the many fine articles. Intending pur- chasers were asked to call again. The exhibition will continue for ten days and anybody intending to buy furn1- ture should not fail to pay it visit
 One of the prettiest and most at tractive stores in the city is that of J. M Burrall & Go, which now occu- pies a part of the store formerly rented by E. G. Kilduff & Go. This new addition was formally opened to the inspection of the public on Satur- day and many people crowded into it and stayed there a long time in ad- miring the many pretty sights which greeted the eye. One would think that there was big fire so large was the crowd in front of the store at times. The display of furniture was the finest in the market and called forth many favorable comments from the visitors.

THREE RIBS BENT.
Young Beach Roughly Handled in
 Foot Ball Game.

The first serious football accident of the local season occurred on Friday afternoon. The 15-years-old son ot George NJ. Beach, commissioner of the board of public safety, was the victim, fractured ribs. Young Beach is can- didate for the High school football team and was engaged in practice with the other candidates when the acci. dent occurred, It is not known exactly how or when it happened, but it Is thought that he received it during a scrimmage in the latter part of the game. He did not mind it at the time and it gave him no trouble. He con- tlnued in the game and after practice was over he rode home on his bicycle. Friday night the broken ribs began to cause him much pain and Dr Lally was summoned and he found that three ribs had been fractured.

BURGLARS CAUGHT.
Cop Got Drop on Three of Them and
 They Complied.

Hartford, Sept Unaided and at the point of his revolver Policeman Relihan arrested at 12:3O o'clock this mornincs three burglars in the act of trying to break into T. Sisson & Co.'S wholesale drug store at No 720 Main street. One of the burglars started to draw a pistol on the officer, when he discovered that he was caught, but at warming of death from the police man the three held up their hands. The arrest was one of the best pieces of work done by a police officer in this city in long time.
 The three men at the police station said they were George Gordon, Frank Smith and William Wiston, aged p, 16 and IT years old, respectively. Load ed revolvers were found on Smith and Gordon, besides two searchlights, two screw drivers and two watches, which the police think fit the description of two stolen few days ago in Berlin.
 Wiston was working at the window with a screw driver trying to push the lock back When the policeman seized him Smith turned around and put his hand to his hip pocket.
 "Throw up your hands"' cried Reli- han, drawing his revolver and bran dishing his stick in his other hand. Two obeyed.
 "Throw up your hands or I'll shoot you on the spotv' repeated the police man to Smith.
 Smith then obeyed and the police man dropped his stick and still hold ing his revolver in the faces of the three men went through their pockets rapidly in search of arms. He found two revolvers and put them in his 1 pockets.
 Relhhan then marched the three into the street and started toward the police | station.
