Hartford Frightening Up Commando
 CT BuIkeley's c. A. R. Orders.

AdTIIOEQ, May l0.-Md10 STTeeI Auu City hall square are beginning to show some of the splendor which will char acterize the whole city on Grand Army day, May IS and 19. City hall has been attractively decorated and men were busy yesterday putting in posi- ton the handsome columns which will convert three sides of the City hall into a court of honor. The false work of the arch which will span the walk from Main street to the entrance Of the City hall was put in position yestef- day and electricians were busy wiring the outside of the building.
 On the opposite side of Main street several buildings are already decorated and decorators are busy all along Main street. The electric wire which will be used in lighting up Main street, the City hall. the court of honor, the Capi- tol, the Memorial arch, the Allyn house and other big buildings, comes on big reels. It has sockets attached and is the same wire which was used in the electric illumination of the new East river bridge, New York, So far in hand, but the demands on the deco, rators for work on private buildings will be so great that it will be case of hustle next week to have every thing in readiness for Tuesday night. when the electrical illuminations will be started up for the first time.
