Such men who have waited that time for Democratic President had better ' shave at onoe if they want to, before the election is decided either way. Henry Ward Beecher is to lecture next week Tuesday evening in Hartford.

Burglars entered Moshier & Mead's store, at Greenwich, one night last week, found the cash box containing $14 bidden in a corner and took $6, leaving the rest and disturbing nothing else in the store. On election night burglars got through the transom over the door of John H. Ray's store, took some re volvers, spoons and pocket knives, unbolted the front door and went out that way. The burglaries are supposed to have been the work of boys. Heads and Talis Both Win. The towns of Avon and Canton paid boun ties last year for killing woodchucks. .But it seems that Avon took the animal's tail as proof that he was disposed of, while Canton demanded the ears. Woodchuck hunters gratified them both, and the unprecedented demand for bounties finally made the Select men of the two places aware that they were paying double and put a stop to the bounty system on that basis. Unfounded Rumors of a New Cbnreh, ' Rumors having got abroad that the First Baptist church of this city ' contemplated building a new church for its Nash street branch, a Courier reporter interviewed some of the leading members of the church and learned that there is no movement on foot for building a new church.

Bis; Parade In This City To-tlorrow Night Celebrations and Parades The Branford Salute. Although it is conceded that it is possible that Cleveland msy not be declared elected, according to the reports from New York, our Democratic brethren are having a good time all the same in the way of celebration. The arrangements for the Democratic jubilee for to-morrow night in this city are being rapid ly perfected. They expect to have one thousand mounted men in line under the di rection of the Old Guard and the business men will have one of the finest bands in New fork. Governor Waller and staff and the mayors and other dignitaries from several of the cities of the State will be present. Gov ernor Waller and staff will review the proces- The reception committee will be made up as follows: Jdayor U. U. iewis, ex-uov- ernor James E. English, ex-Governor Charles R. Ingersoll, ex-Mayor L. W. Sperry, ex-May or J. B. Robertson, ex-Governor C. B. Bow- Town Agent James Reynolds, Maiar Zunder and John E. Earie. The headquar ters of the committee will - be at the Tontine Hotel. The Register says: " All the Democratic campaign organizatione of the city have reported to Colonel Healey their intention of turning out in the great demonstration. One of the new features in the procession will be the broom brigade, an improvised organization of young men, whose arms will te Drooms. signuying ' tne clean sweep, made by the Democrats. Another contingent proposed was the coffin brigade. Badges, banners and placards illustrating the burial of the Brand Ola party were oraerea by a volunteer organization that proposed to . J . ,m 1 i e 1 " 1 turn out. xnese emuiems were ior juuiviu- ual use, but the projectors of the scheme had also engaged a hearse to - add to their display. When these arrangements were reported, however, Colonel Healey told them that they could have no place in the line, and the other members of the committee on arrangements endorsed his views. They considered that a mock funeral pageant was offensive to good taste on account of the painful associations which it might call up in the minds of the spectators, and vetoed the scheme with mnch promptness and emphasis. "The brewers of the city are to contribute fifty teams, drawn by four or more horses and with the wagons handsomely decorated to Wednesday night's demonstration. The Thespian club and the Register 'Chap el club, tne latter Demg composed of em ployes of the Register Publishing company, have also reported for the parade. The Chapel club announce that they will appear in tne ranks witn ntty men. "The appeal from the committees for con tributions of refreshments to entertain visit ing organizations has elicited numerous favorable responses. Still there will proba bly be so large a number from outside the city to be fed that a largely increased quanti ty of donations in the refreshment line will be required to make the managers feel alto gether easy about properly discharging the auties ot nospitauty. .baited beans and sand wiches are donations which will be especially acceptable." The line of march has not been decided upon and will be arranged to-day. The Ingersoll Phalanx will have Colt's band of Hartford for to-morrow evening, and will probably go to Bridgeport to-nignt to taxe part m tne parade there, The invitation they roceived from the Young Men s .Democratic club enjoins them to come, and promises to kill the fatted calf for them. One hundred guns were fired in Middle town on Saturday in honor of the Democratic victory. Henry Rich and William H. Prior were somewhat injured by a premature ex plosion. The Democratic campaign clnbs invaded Portland last evening. The Democratic clubs in East Hartford cel ebrated last evening by a parade in that place. The Hancock corps (formed four years ago) joined in the procession. There was a general illumination by Democratic residents along the route of march. The Hartford Courant says: "A portion of the local Democracy paraded the streets on Saturday in celebration of the election (?) of vj rover Cleveland, it was a unique proces sion and carried one back to the davs when the Ancients and Horribles used to parade on the Fourth of July mornings. There were upwards of 2,000 men and boys in the pro cession. The campaign organizations, espe cially the New Britain company, looked fair ly wen, Dnt notning can be said in praise of the remainder of the procession, as it was largely composed of the hoodlum elements, made additionally unattractive by) uncoutn costumes. mere were numerous banners so offensive in their wording as to make many Democrats who saw ths proces sion blush for their party. As a whole the parade was an undignified affair, not even approaching the level of a burlesque. Its march was through the principal streets of the city. A salute of one hundred guns was fired from the west park. Some of the pa raders in place of their nsual number six" hats wore huge tiles evidently procured to raeet the requirements of the next morning." The Branford people hit upon a unique plan. A salute was fired there the other night with the understanding between both parties that the party that should win should pay the cost ox the performance, The money has not yet been paid and both parties are waiting. COMMITTEE ON ENTERTAINMENT. The committee on entertainment held a meeting in rooms 10 and 11 City Hall last evening. Julius Tyler presided, and A. R. Good now was secretary. The committee re ported that they had obtained the Union armory on Meadow street in which to enter tain the visiting companies from out of town on Wednesday evening. The solicitors re ported that an abundant supply of provisions had been promised, and there was no donbt but that all who came would be a amply pro vided with refreshments. The commtttee will meet again this evening at 7 :30 o'clock at the same place in City Hall, and a full at tendance is earnestly requested. A DRY GOODS LEGION FORMED LAST EVENING. A meeting of dry goods men was held last evening in Whittlesey's hall, about seventy- nve being present. A. club was formed for the purpose of participating in the Demo cratic parade to-morrow evening. Ex-Representative Thomas F. Me Grail was elected president, J. T. Gor man secretary and William A. Smith treas urer. A financial committee consisting of E. Strouse, T. McGrau and J. Scheuer was appointed. Honorary members were elected as follows: X M. Brown, David S.

About 8 o clock last evening a party of New York newsboys appeared on our streets with copies of an extra Truth for sale. The cries of "Great Excitement in New York" and "The Grand Army of the Republic Under Arms" soon attracted numerous buy ers and the papers sold rapidly. The sensa tional item which sold the paper was so evi dently a canard that people who purchased copies of the "extra" soon saw that they, had been taken in. But the newsboys reaped a HKTOll. A Burglary. A tramp who gave his name . as Thomas Brown broke into Smith Brothers' oyster house last evening and stole a can of oysters and was arrested with the same in his pos session. He was in the lockup for lodging a few nights ago and begged the officer in charge to send him to jail as he wanted a place to stay for the winter. ' As there was no charge against him his wishes could not be complied with. This time, however, he will probably be accommodated and may in the end be sent to Wethersfield.

A PROPOSER NEW CKJIETEBY. Another Voice on the Subject A Sim ilar Project Some Tears Ago A Plan Once Broached toy Mr. C. S. HEalthy. A prominent New Haven gentleman writes from New York as follows r Fifteen years ago, a plan was submitted to a few individu- als, which, if then it had been consummated, would now have proved a blessing indeed. The writer accompanied Mr. C. S. Maltby, late of your city, through a certain tract of, say, 200 acres, south of the Derby turnpike, extending to a point where the Derby rail road would intersect the land, and having entrances from near the waterworks on West Chapel street, besides others in various places. Mr. Maltby then and there suggested he feasibility and the appropriatenes of the place for a future cemetery for New Haven. He then controlled the property, and perhaps does so to this date. It could have been had for a comparative! small amount of money for the purpose. The clan suggested by Mr. Maltby was for a few gentlemen to each become a purchaser to tne amount oi iu,uw, to mue improve ments suitable for the end in view and dis TXse of lots as fast as required, requiring no prone upon tne investment, Dnt to ds reim bursed, principal and interest, when sufficient sales should have been made to do so. The late Edward A. Mitchell had consented to be one purchaser. How many more Mr. Maltby had in his mind was not known, but as we all know Mr. Maltby does nothing by halves it may be inferred that with his heart set upon the project he would have acted with his usual liberality. It was understood tnat tne uatnolie cnurcn would then have entered heartily into the ar rangement, the Catholic grounds only to be a distinct part ot tne cemetery, r nnerai rjrocessions could easily have been conducted over the Derby railroad (entrance at the south end), while the distance even by- car riages would not be farther from the city than are many of the cemeteries of other cities. The idea was then impressed upon the mind that such a resting place for the dead might also become a resting place for the dead of more than one town between New Haven and Naugatuck. The writer is not now aware wno is owner of the property, but would suggest the wis dom of the scheme and the locality to those who have the matter in charge. There are hill and valley, as well as forest, and also nlentv of running water with which to flood the valleys. The German Suicide. William A. Fauck, of Waterbury, brother-in-law of Carl Guenther, the Ger man who died at the- hospital Saturday I night from the effects of laudanum taken to kill himself, identified the remains at the hospital yesterday. Guenther formerly worked at A. Fehlberg's' butter store on Congress avenue. He has an uncle named August Bechsted living in Bristol, where he formerly resided. He was unmarried. Sup erintendent Starkweather informed Mr, Bechsted of the affair last night. If he is not disposed to do something about the burial the remains will be buried by the town. PROBABLY RUIO-CRAZED. A Fort TrnmDUll Soldier's Attempt To Commit Suicide. William L. Dutton, a soldier of the garri son at Fort Trumbull, was before the Police court last Thursday on a charge of intoxica tion and was found guilty by the court, which imposed a fine of $5 and costs. After his release, upon payment of his fine, Dutton was taken to the fort and confined in the guard house. Saturday afternoon he was taken from the guard house and while being reprimanded by the command ing officer for his conduct applied most insulting and obscene epithets to him, and suddenly breaking away, fled. A i geant and two men were sent in pursuit and succeeded in capturing uutton on tne track between the fort road and the round house, but as they were returning with him in cus tody he again broke away and threw himself m rront ot an approacning locomotive en sine, with the intent of committing suicide. He was caught by the soldiers and pulled out of danger. The man's brain was probably disordered by excessive indulgences m drink which will account for his outrageous eon duct towards his superior officer and subse quent reckless attempt to end his life. AN ESTEEMED MAN. Death or Prominent Bridgeport Physician. Dr. Augustus H. Abernethy, one of the leading physicians of Bridgeport, died yester day morning, forty-six years old. He was native of Torrington, Conn., and a son of the late Judge Abernethy. His ancestors came from Scotland, and settled in Branford. He was a graduate of the Yale Medical school. He entered the United States navy in 1864 as assistant surgeon. In the fall of 1881 he was elected Representative to the General Assembly. He held several offices of trust and was a prominent member of the Bridgeport Board of Education for about twelve years. His death causes deep sorrow among a large circle of friends. He was a very exemplary, benevolent and useful citi zen. His father removed to Bridgeport m 1848, and some years later built the residence on Conrtland street now occupied by Henry T. Shelton. Dr. Abernethy had been tor two or three years subject to paroxysms of pain in various forms. About year ago he had a severe attack of neuralgia in a horse car and had to be conveyed home. At another time since that he Buttered a similar attack. Ho tre quent had become these attacks that his wife became alarmed and did not allow him to go anywhere alone, his son, about 9 years of age, always going witn mm wnen visiting patients. Saturday mgnt lr. Abernetny experienced a severe attack of pains and Dr. Hubbard at tended. Sunday night he had another at tack and Dr. Lauder was hastily summoned, but before he arrived the doctor was dead The cause is attributed to angina pectoris, a certain form of neart disease. Dr. Abernethy leaves a wife and three small children one boy and two girls. The funeral will take place from Park street Congregational church at 2 o'clock .Thursday afternoon. Rev. J. G, Davenport, of Waterbury, a former pastor, and Rev. F. E. Hopkins, the present minis ter, will ofliciate-. Drs. Hubbard and .Laud er will be present as attending physicians, and the following physicians will act as pall bearers: Drs. Porter, Bill, Munson, bmith Wordin, May, Shefirey and Cummings. The luKersoIl Phalanx. The Ingersoll phalanx go to Bridgeport to night as the guests of the Young Men's Dem ocratic club. Democrats there have a jubilee and will paint. Bridgeport red if Fairfield county can do it. Excursion rates will be provided for all persons at 75 cents round trip. Tickets at Osborne's store, No. 91 Church street. The Democratic club say they will "stab the fatted calf" for their guests. Honorary members and all will go. For Wednesday night the phalanx have invited the Merwin legion to parade with them. There has always been the kindest good- feeling existing between these two organiza tions and it was suggested before the elec tion that the two companies should make a joint parade when the battle was over. The Merwin legion will hold a meeting to-night to act upon the invitation. A Hone's Kick. An old reliable family horse belonging to Nelson A. Luddington, of 234 Grand street, kicked Mr. Luddington's fourteen-year-old son Jesse m the right shoulder while he was passing the stall Sunday evening. No bones were broken, but the boy is very sick from the effects of the blow. Clergymen In the House. The Winsted Herald says: "The election of the Rev. Clarence H. Barber to the legis lature from Torrington and of the Rev. John P. Hawley from Stafford will enable the House to proceed to business without delay in case o&absence of a regularly appointed chaplain. Both are men of superior ability, and either of them can make a good speech or a good prayer, whichever is most needed." Comity commissioners. The county commissioners were in session at Ansonia yesterday and granted fifty-one TinensAa in the town of Derby. The commis sioners will be in session in this city to-day. The Pint Keen Twlnrfe. As the season advances the pains and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known are experienced after every exposure. It is not claimed that Hood's Sarsaparilla is a specifio for rheumatism we doubt if there is or can be such a remedy. But the thousands benefitted by Hood's Sarsaparilla warrant us in urging others.who suffer from rheumatism to take it before the first keen twinge. Funeral of Edward Stevens. A large number of sorrowing friends, in cluding many of our leading citizens, attend ed the funeral of the late Edward Stevens, which took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence of the family on Wooster Place. The clock manufactory, with which the deceased was so long and promi nently connected, was represented by a dele gation ot tne employes who attended m a body. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Meserve, pastor of Davenport Con gregational church, with which place of worship the deceased had been identified for years as a generous benefactor and worthy member.' The pastor paid a touching and beautiful tribute to the memory of the de ceased and his sterling worth as a church man, an employer and a citizen, and the pastor's words gave suitable utterance to the regard and esteem in which the deceased was held. . The remains lay in a broadcloth covered casket at the head of which was a large pillow of ferns and roses, inscribed in the center of which in purple immortelles were the words "Employes of the N. H. C. Co." Upon the lid was a profusion of eal- las, ferns and roses, and at the foot upon a small stand was a very beautiful bouquet of enrysantnemums. The bearers were ex-Governor James E. English, President Hiram Camp of the New Haven Clock company, ex-Mayor H. 11. Welch and Messrs. F. W. Pardee, Henry Smith, H. A. Harrison, B. H. Douglass and Hugh Galbraith. The interment was ill Ev ergreen cemetery. Rev. Henry S. Kelsey, formerly pastor of the College street church, this city, now of Geneva, N. Y., is engaged in the insurance business. v ' Death of Hon. James N. Lea, A Wilkesbarre, Pa., dispatch of a recent date said: "Hon. James N. Lea, formerly of New Orleans but recently residing at .Lex ington, Va. , died here this evening at the residence of Hon. Charles P. Hunt. The de ceased was one of the foremost lawyers of the New Orleans bar before the war, and was presiding judge of the Superior court of Louisiana. He remained in the active prac tice of his profession until the summer of 1875, when he retired and took up his resi dence at Lexington, Ya. He is sixty-nine years of age. He came north on account of failing health six weeks ago. The remains will be interred here on Wednesday. Balti more American. Hon. Mr. Lea was a graduate of Yale, class of 1834, a classmate of the late Judge E. K Foster of this city, and was highly esteemed by many northern gentlemen. His memory will be warmly cherished by a large circle of friends. He attended Yale commencement a few years ago and found not a few of his old classmates here, while many had joined "the innumerable caravan." During a visit to the South some years ago Dr. Levi Ives of this city, class of 1838, was a guest of Judge Lea and very pleasantly recollects his host as a most genial gentleman and influential citi zen. The deceased is also .well remembered by many other New Haven people. Crushed by a Pile Driver. Charles Garney, of Hartford, was crushed by a pile driver yesterday. He was working with several other men holding logs which were being driven into the ground by a pile driver, and in fixing the heavy weight which drives the logs his hand slipped under the weight and it came down, striking his right hand and badly crushing it. Entertainments. JOHN B. GOHGH. John B. Gough lectures at Carll's Opera House next Monday night. Subject, "Elo quence and Orators." No doubt there - will be a great number present to hear him. THE BEGGAR STUDENT. Millocker's famous opera, "The Beggar Student," will be produced for the first time in this city at Carll's Opera House this even ing by the Thompson Opera company. The company contains 35 artists of high reputa tion. The performance will be one of merit, as tne opera is deligntrul. HARRY W. FRENCH. vThe first of the series of beautifully illns trated lectures by Harry W. French is to be given at the New Haven Opera House, Wed nesday evening, the subject being 'Mexico, tne Venice of tne Aztecs. ine appearanee of Mr. French is always looked forward to with great interest by those who are interest ed m that style of entertainment and the house is sure to be crowded with a delighted audience. THE SEVEN RAVENS. The New York Times says of the "Seven Ravens:" "It is praised by all who witness it. As one critic says: 'It far surpasses all previous plays of its class in the magnificence of its scenery, the gorgeousness of its cos tumes and the splendor of its ballet. Its beauty is so transcendent that words inade quately portray it; the pen may praise, but not paint may commend, but not describe it.' And this is true, especially of the ballet led by the bewitching and incomparable JJe Gillert." The piece is booked for an early appearance uf Carll's Opera House. BUNNELL'S HUSEUM. This resort is evidently losing none of its hold upon the public as the audiences both afternoon and evening continue very large, Last evening the house was crowded. New curiosities in the "Hall of Wonders" are at tracting much notice. The "Baby Venus" is still admired by thousands. The perform ance on the stage is excellent. The Humpty Dumpty play is first-class. A number of specialists of a high order appear before the play. Tne admission price remains as be fore, 10 cents. GRUMBLERS AND GRUMBLING. The Atheneum contained a fine large dience last evening. A lecture upon "Grum bling and Grumblers" was delivered by the Rev. Dr. J. S. Chadwick, of New York. The speaker was introduced by the Rev. C. B. Ford, of the George street Methodist church. The lecture was very entertaining. The speaker illustrated by amusing anecdotes the various uses and misuses ol language ana showed how language is abused by chronic grumblers. There was much sense and wis dom and no little wit in the lecture, which was closely listened to throughout. THE OCTOROON. The play entitled the "Octoroon" was pre sented under the auspices of the Natibnal Blues (Co. D, Seoond regiment) at the New Haven Opera House last evening to a fair- sized audience. The play in itself is a good one and the company which presented it are deserving of especial praise. Most of the names of those taking part will be recognized as the play was presented by local talent, The acting of Miss Virginia Nelson as "Zoe" was very good, as was also that of Mrs. Kate Corey as "Peyton." Miss Annie French as "Dora Sunnyside," a southern belle and heir ess to Sunnyside, was all that could be de sired, she showing herself entirely at home onthe stage and an actress of no mean obil ity and the applause she received showed her to be a favorite. Mr. Charles Rafale, who took the part of "Jacob McClosky " an over seer, and Dr. Frank Gallagher as "Salem Scudder." upheld their former reputation as actors of good ability. Other members of the company were F. H. Melrose", George Butler. William W. Lycut, i rank Uarlm, T. F. Gorman, Carl Parsons, John Blake, Henry Doane, I. M. Garrison, K. 11. Williams, 11. Parsons, Annie Palmer, Flossie Sanford, Minnie Jerold and Rose Carlton. The com pany as a whole was good and too much can not be said in praise of them. AMERICAN THEATER. Over one thousand votaries filed out of the American Theater about half-past ten o'clock last night, after having passed a delightfuj evening witnessing the first production of the three-act musical comedy entitled "The Boarding School." The audience unanim ously pronounced the play first-class in every respect. Judging by tne numerous expres sions of approbation heard on all sides last evening, crowding houses will be the order" during the week. Harry Mack has arranged The Boarding School," and under the management of Mr. W. C. Cameron it is presented to tne public in such a manner as to reflect very creditably upon the author and tne company. From first to last the play is replete with comical situations, and the musical and farcical specialties give the tout ensemble a pleasant variety. . . Miss Ellani, a young, petite and vivacious soubrette, ably sustains the title role. Possessed of enviable histrionic attain TTiona and fascinating ways, she at once in gratiated herself into the good favors of the audience. Her representation of a spoiled chjld is very well done. James B. Radclie, Professor Jeremian uuuera, yu. u., D D. and N. G., keeps tne auaience m roars of laughter. His musical specialties nn,nr,fT Altogether the eonrnanv is a fine one and well deserve a week of lib eral patronage. THE ELECTION TALK. A monrnfnl Howl on" Chapel Street A News Vender Unloads. The talk over election continues the all absorbing topic. Hundreds of men were out on Chapel street last night to hear the news and discuss the situation. Leading Repub licans expressed themselves as quite confident that the result would show that Mr. Blaine received the most votes in New York State and was legally elected President.
