an THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, FRIPAY, JANUARY 15, 1886. ONE VOTE NOMINATES. TBS THIRTIETH WABD CAITCBKD M* A Jt'XAXJES MAX. Change to ttoe Fcrty-sixifc Sa^ot Defeats Octmetlman Btidd, Wooee Went Him to Has Independent. A political surprise was in store for she IB^HMte— of the Thirtieth ward when their adjoerned Counciiaianic Convention met iaet evening at Sixteenth and Catharine After having spent the whole of the preced- ing day balloting, and bein« unable to break the tie of 8 to 8, and adjourned to resume the fight the following night, it was believed that no oneoould be persuaded to turn traitor, and a compfomise candidate would be the only result. _ n ' m The friends of Common Councilman s>. Femberton Badd, ooal merchant, of No. SOS Christian street, were leaving no stone un- turned to effect bis renominatioa. Among h j supucrters were Select Councilman W:'.- ^#1^ Thornton, School Director William J. MilHgaB, Gas Trustee W. W. Alcorn, Oliver Wilson, ex CoUector Pollock, ex-Police Cap- tain Emery and other prominent workers in the ward. Two weeks ago they did not anticipate any opposition to Mr. Budd's re-elecuoc, ana upon the subsequent announcement that J as. Morrow, a grocer, So 910 South Sixteenth street, was a candidate, no anxiety was felt regarding the result. A Change of Base. Mr. Morrow, although said to have been a bitter anti-McManesman sometime ago, sur- prised the Budd party somewhat when is was learned that he had now the support of the Gas Trust leader. There was a desperate struggle at the pri- maries, but the Budd men were elated at the close, as they counted thirteen delegates oat of twenty-two lor their candidate, with a prospect of fifteen. When the convention met James M:- Oonneil, a Morrow man, presided, bat on the first ballot he had only ten followers. They were John Craig, of the First division; John Kerr, of the Second; Robert Kilpatrick, of the Fourth; Calvin Carr, of the Eighth; J. MeCullough, of the Ninth: B, McFetrich, of the Tenth; Alonzo Hirst, of the Eleventh; Hulbert Bees, of the Twelfth; Charles W. Cr^-3dale, of the Seventeenth, and J. Galla- gher, of the Twenty-second. Of these MeCullough is connected with the 3M Works, Hirst is in the Fire Department, Beta in the Post Office, and Kirkpatrick is a z:~ contractor. The Budd party claim that M -.alegatesin the First and Eighth divi- BJBM v a n elected in their interest. 113 eleven who voted for Mr. Budd in for- --1-: ballots were |James Franklin, of the ;.:::;: division; Oliver Wilson, of the Fifth; RkMHi 1 :!i-son, of the Sixth; Bernard Cof- -_: ot the Seventh; William Johnson, of the —eenth; James McBride, of the Four- MMk Fan is Lewis, of the Fifteenth; Chat. •feMtia, of the Sixteenth; Thomas War- •nkj c" i n Nineteenth; Robert Scocr, of the Z~z- UtA; and James Quigley, of the Twen- DM - adleat to tha Trust. ^ In this list, Messrs. Lewis, Warnock and Bent I ::r-zh Gas Trust employees, held I in • - _ :.e day against the wishes of Mr. M k n ~-o visited the scene of the fi ght H a n n j izz proceedings closely.

COLUMBCS, Ohio, Jan. 14.—Senator Saer man arrived from Washington this after- noon, and was met by a Legislative Commit- tee and escorted to the House of Representa- tives, where, in the presence of the members of both branches and a large audience of in- 'erested spectators, he was formally w*.- cornea in an address by Hon. George Wast burne. Mr. Sherman replied in quite a long speech, in which he returned thanks for tae renewed honor and confidence of haviag been again elected to the office of Unite a States Senator from Ohio. In the courae o' bis remarks, addressing himself to the msm- bers of the Legislature as a body, he said: The time has arrived when there ought to be an entire revision in the election lawso' Ohio. The time has arrived when bo:h poli- tical parties should address themselves to this question, and prevent fraudulent voting. For myseif, I could never see why, in State affair?* politics should be brought into play. It is different with great national questions. I invite your attention to the exam Die REMARKABLE SSJAPi. by the great State of New York. set la that State iB i868 great lrauds were perpetrated by a man whose name will be repudiated by any party, "Boss Tweed " Then it was that men of both politic*! parties went to work and re- formed their election laws. One of the most distinguished men to bring about this reform was Samuel J. TUden (applause), and I am glad to speak of him here. In this respect, I heartily refer to the recommendations made by Governor Hoadly in bis annual message, which expresses my sentiments better than I could do. 1 also heartily concur in the expressions male by our gallant Governor, Mr. Foraker. C*nnot you follow the recommendations of these men to preserve to every man one honest vote? There is another question upon which I desire to say a tew words—the temperance question. The legislature of Ohio should address itself to this question and enact wise laws, going as far as is consistent with the rights of citizens. If you will not lay p*rty aside and represent the people a higher power will bring about this legislation. There is but one other question I desire to call your attention to, ana that is the labor question. The division of capital and labor is dependent upon the law of supply and de- mand. You ought to legislate so as to secure to the laborer, as tar as law can go, the highest wages and the advantages of social life. A reception to the general public was held in the Senate chamber this evening, which was largely attended. Senator Sherman will return to Washing- ton to-morrow unless he changes his plans. a Train Fall I r e Record. s, the beer bottling establish- Elbring & Co., No. 90 South At Newport News, fire broke out on board the British steamer Matthew Bedlington, loading cotton for Liverpool, and 2000 bales of cotton were destroyed. At Lewiston, Me., a small ".dwelling owned by Timothy Hurley was burned Wednesday night. The building was occupied by Kate McCartney, who perished in the flames. At MUiersburg, Ohio, Wednesday night, fire destroyed the large hardware and tin establishment of Yoorneas & Elder, Main street. At Rayvtlle, La,'the store and warehouse of L B .

Y. f Charles TaUner's box factory was burned yesterday. The loss is heavy. Two hundred hands are thrown uut of employment. A ooiek-Witted Badaeaa- Saves of gnsenpsse, NEW YOEK, Jan. 14.—The north-bound combination express on the New York ani Long Branch Railroad, made up from cars :rom L ong Branch and Lake Road, the win- ter resort of New Jersey, was thrown from the rails by a broken switch 2000 yards south of Matawao, a few minutes before nine o'clock this morning. The cars were fillad with New York business men coming to their citv offices and Monmouth county lawyers and jurymen, who were on their way to Freehold, the cennty seat. No oue was seriously iu jured, though many were bruised and ladies were excited with fright. A few feet from the point where the rail was broken, a trestle bridge, 500 yards long, stretches across a deep gully. Toe baggag« car of the Long Branch section was first de- railed but almost immediately jumped back again upon the track. The other cars after dropping down on the tier ran across tae bridge, snapping the steel rails into bits and tearing the wooden structure into splinters. The rear coach lost its truck and was dr»w-i a long distance on its floor beams Tae scene in this coach, as described by the passengers, was terrible. _ With the first indication of danger Mr. W. B. Huley, proprietor of the Eitoatown hat factory, sprang to his feet and palled the bell rope- The engineer, George Ciickaer, heard the signal, but, tinding it impossible to stop his engine, which was tearing at the rate or thirty miles an hour, he saw that the only hope was to increase the speed. He threw cpen the throttle, and thus prevented the cars from toppling over the trestle work. The cars swayed from side so side, but they were safely cariied out of danger. Mr. George H. Tallman, of No 159 Barclay street, this city, in spoaking of the accidenc, said: "It was a miraculous escape. I was sitting in the smoking-car when I felt a shock as though something bad struck the bottom of the coach. The lamp3 fell from the car roof with a cra»b, and then all was confusion. There were just two things that saved us from falling into the gully—a quics-witted engi- neer and the heavy beams that were nailed down on the bridge parallel to the rail." The only person icjured was Captaia War- ren, of the steamer St John. His injuries are not thought to be serious. The last car of the train was a total wreck, and the others were more or less damaged. A Farmer's Capture. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 14.—Some time ago a number of convicts employed in the mines at Coal Hill escaped by tunneling. An old farmer made his appearance at the camp yesterday and called for the "Captain." He gave his name as James Johnson, and had six of the fugitives all iu a row, with their hands on each other's shoulders. He heard of the escape, and believed, on account of the intensely cold weather, the men would seek shelter instead of traveling. He located ten of them, and last night, when Jibe were sleeping in a hay stack, captured their guard and Ave others. The remainder escaped. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS. Ktvorhead, 1>.

New Hamburg embroideries ready. Fine tiny patterns, threads al- most invisible; generous, broad effects; and all the way between. Point de Venise embroideries ought to be better known We'll fill a window with them. The fabric wrought upon is completely covered, every thread oi it. Nothing but net-work of cotton wound on cotton. The winding-thread itself is indistin- guishable. Frost on the win- dow-pane. It ought to be widely known; but nobody keeps it. Nothing short of the prettiest things in the world is enough for us. White cottons likewise; many and various. The new ones are ready. Southwest from the center. Competition in women's over- garments seems to be uncom- monly sharj)—in the newspa- pers. It isn't nearly so sharp in the store. We have an abundant supply of new things—by new we mean not older than fall—no old ones to speak of. We have kept them cheap enough all along to command the trade. And, since the crest of the wave passed, we have made them cheaper yet as we could.. And now we are ac- tually buying for half, more or less. Jackets, coats, raglans, new- markets, Russian circulars, dol- mans, short wraps—all these we have fcr half and three-quarters of what they were a month ago; $3.50 to $25. 130I Chestnut Seal-cloth coats, $25 to $50— the $25 was $35 a little while ago. Plush wraps $15 to $50. Brocade and fancy wraps for half and less than halt—$20 to $75. Cloth dresses $8 to $25. There's a trifle of profit in some of them. 1303 Chestnut, second floor. Men's clothing just as low. By the middle Market-street door. Men's thick merino under- wear, nearly two dollars'-worth for one; Medlicott mills $1 a garment; all sizes: full regular- made. Such a price is alto- gether unexpectable any time of year. West of Arcade, third counter Knit-wool skirts, $1.50 and $1.75—two-thirds. Canton-flin- nel with quilted Farmer's satin bottoms, 85 cents—two-thirds. Cloth, trimmed with bouele and color stripes, $2.75 to $4— three-quarters. Cashmere $6 and $7.50 — three - quarters. Down-in-sateen $5—five-sixths on the average. All the warm skirts are down except satia. West of Arcade, seventh counter; hy the car. Muslin underwear, two-thirds for the styles we are going to drop.

These are the color combina- tions: WOMEX'8 hlack-and- mandarin navy-biue-and-mandarin black -and cardinal navy-ble-and-cardinal pale-sky-and-rose-pink hlack-and-white MEN'S navy-blue-and-cardinal bronze- and-ecru dark-gray-and-white black-and-cardinal black-and-white Ihey are worth the money apart from their novel beauty.

Lucky babies they are who get these pretty slips and dresses for half their value. West of the Arcade, ninth counter; by the car. Pocket-books with all the business out of them. We don't like to say how much a thing is worth and sell It for less; but that's the easiest way to the fact sometimes. These are rubbed, or shop-worn, OE old: Leather snap-purse. 3 cents; not worth so much as 10; wouldn't care to have a purse aoout that isn't worth lO cents. Silk-plush ditto, 5 cents; worth 25. if perfect. Japanese snap-purse, 50 cents; worth $1.50 when in fashion. Japanese porte-monnaie, $1; worth double any day. Kussia pecket-book, 50 cents; worth 75, which isn't saying much for it. Seal pocketbook, three openings, Jl; value fl.75. Enssia card-case, 50 cents; worth $1.50 if per- fect. Ditto larger, 60 cents; worth $1.75. All these and ten or twenty sorts more, from ten to a hun- dred books of a sort are in a glass case by themselves in the morning. How long they'll stay there depends on you. North from the center. We'll give you one more day at the damaged books as they are; and then we'll consider what are left as almost good for nothing and mark them so. Take your pick today. We'll have a crowd there again to- morrow. Calendars 2 cents up. We seem to trifle. Not at aU. There's enough for a day. French. We imported a few in November. You caught them up in a day. We cabled for more. They came too late. They go today for half. There are two or three-hundred—fifty different; unmistakably French. They beat us out of sight and hearing. South of the Thirteenth-street door. Take the damaged photo- graph-albums for half the prices of yesterday. Northwest of the center. You know, of course, that we keep all the muslins^ you want, and nobody sells them for less. Four or five rows of shelving sixty feet long are full of them. Nowhere else are these three muslin-dealing virtues held in equal honor: variety, careful choosing of sorts, correctness of names. Northeast of the center. Brussels, moquette and wil- ton carpets, old patterns, three- quarters. If you care for the money, now is your time. If you want the newest patterns, wait a bit. Market-street front. secotdSoor.

    A political surprise was in store for she I B ^ H M t e — of the Thirtieth ward when their adjoerned Counciiaianic Convention met iaet evening at Sixteenth and Catharine

    After having spent the whole of the preced-ing day balloting, and bein« unable to break the tie of 8 to 8, and adjourned to resume the fight the following night, it was believed that no oneoould be persuaded to turn traitor, and a compfomise candidate would be the only result. _ n „ ' m

    The friends of Common Councilman s>. Femberton Badd, ooal merchant, of No. SOS Christian street, were leaving no stone un-turned to effect bis renominatioa. Among h j supucrters were Select Councilman W:'.-^#1^ Thornton, School Director Will iam J. MilHgaB, Gas Trustee W. W . Alcorn, Oliver Wilson, ex CoUector Pollock, ex-Police Cap-tain Emery and other prominent workers in the ward.

    Two weeks ago they did not anticipate any opposition to Mr. Budd's re-elecuoc, ana upon the subsequent announcement that J as. Morrow, a grocer, S o 910 South Sixteenth street, was a candidate, no anxiety was felt regarding the result.

    A Change of Base. Mr. Morrow, although said to have been a

    bitter anti-McManesman sometime ago, sur-prised the Budd party somewhat when is was learned that he had now the support of the Gas Trust leader.

    There was a desperate struggle at the pri-maries, but the Budd men were elated at the close, as they counted thirteen delegates oat of twenty-two lor their candidate, with a prospect of fifteen.

    When the convention met James M:-Oonneil, a Morrow man, presided, bat on the first ballot he had only ten followers. They were John Craig, of the First division; John Kerr, of the Second; Robert Kilpatrick, of the Fourth; Calvin Carr, of the Eighth; J. MeCullough, of the Ninth: B, McFetrich, of the Tenth; Alonzo Hirst, of the Eleventh; Hulbert Bees, of the Twelfth; Charles W. Cr^-3dale, of the Seventeenth, and J. Galla-gher, of the Twenty-second.

    Of these MeCullough is connected with the 3 M Works, Hirst is in the Fire Department, Beta in the Post Office, and Kirkpatrick is a z:~ contractor. The Budd party claim that M -.alegatesin the First and Eighth divi-BJBM v a n elected in their interest.

    113 eleven who voted for Mr. Budd in for-- - 1 - : ballots were |James Franklin, of the ; . : : : ; : division; Oliver Wilson, of the Fifth; RkMHi 1 :!i-son, of the Sixth; Bernard Cof--_: ot the Seventh; Will iam Johnson, of the

    —eenth; James McBride, of the Four-MMk Fan is Lewis, of the Fifteenth; Chat. • f e M t i a , of the Sixteenth; Thomas War-• n k j c" i n Nineteenth; Robert Scocr, of the Z~z- UtA; and James Quigley, of the Twen-

    D M - adleat to tha Trust. ^ I n this list, Messrs. Lewis, Warnock and

    B e n t I : : r - z h Gas Trust employees, held I i n • - _ :.e day against the wishes of Mr.

    Grand BeeepUoa at C o l o m b n i - addreas to tn« LegUlatorc.

    C O L U M B C S , Ohio, Jan. 14.—Senator Saer man arrived from Washington this after-noon, and was met by a Legislative Commit-tee and escorted to the House of Representa-tives, where, in the presence of the members of both branches and a large audience of in-'erested spectators, he was formally w*.-cornea in an address by Hon. George Wast burne.

    Mr. Sherman replied in quite a long speech, in which he returned thanks for tae renewed honor and confidence of haviag been again elected to the office of Unite a States Senator from Ohio. In the courae o' bis remarks, addressing himself to the msm-bers of the Legislature as a body, he said:

    The time has arrived when there ought to be an entire revision in the election l a w s o ' Ohio. The time has arrived when bo:h poli-tical parties should address themselves to this question, and prevent fraudulent voting. For myseif, I could never see why, in State affair?* politics should be brought into play. I t is different with great national questions.

    I invite your attention to the exam Die

    R E M A R K A B L E S S J A P i .

    by the great State of N e w York. set

    l a that State iB i868 great lrauds were perpetrated by a man whose name will be repudiated by any party, "Boss Tweed " Then it was that men of both politic*! parties went to work and re-formed their election laws.

    One of the most distinguished men to bring about this reform was Samuel J. TUden (applause), and I am glad to speak of him here. In this respect, I heartily refer to the recommendations made by Governor Hoadly in bis annual message, which expresses my sentiments better than I could do. 1 also heartily concur in the expressions m a l e by our gallant Governor, Mr. Foraker. C*nnot you follow the recommendations of these men to preserve to every man one honest vote?

    There is another question upon which I desire to say a tew words—the temperance question. The legis lature of Ohio should address itself to this question and enact wise laws, going as far as is consistent with the rights of citizens. If you will not lay p*rty aside and represent the people a higher power will bring about this legislation.

    There is but one other question I desire to call your attention to, ana that i s the labor question. The division of capital and labor is dependent upon the law of supply and de-mand. You ought to legislate so as to secure to the laborer, as tar as law can go, the highest wages and the advantages of social life.

    A reception to the general public was held in the Senate chamber this evening, which was largely attended.

    Senator Sherman will return to Washing-ton to-morrow unless he changes his plans.

    a Train Fall

    I r e Record. s, the beer bottling establish-Elbring & Co., No. 90 South

    A ooiek-Witted Badaeaa- Saves of gnsenpsse,

    N E W Y O E K , Jan. 14.—The north-bound combination express on the N e w York a n i Long Branch Railroad, made up from cars :rom L ong Branch and Lake Road, the win-ter resort of N e w Jersey, was thrown from the rails by a broken switch 2000 yards south of Matawao, a few minutes before nine o'clock this morning. The cars were fillad with New York business men coming to their citv offices and Monmouth county lawyers and jurymen, who were on their way to Freehold, the cennty seat. No oue was seriously iu jured, though many were bruised and ladies were excited with fright.

    A few feet from the point where the rail was broken, a trestle bridge, 500 yards long, stretches across a deep gul ly . Toe baggag« car of the Long Branch section was first de-railed but almost immediately jumped back again upon the track. The other cars after dropping down on the tier ran across tae bridge, snapping the steel rails into bits and tearing the wooden structure into splinters. The rear coach lost its truck and was dr»w-i a long distance on its floor beams Tae scene in this coach, as described by the passengers, was terrible. _

    W i t h the first indication of danger Mr. W. B. Huley , proprietor of the Eitoatown hat factory, sprang to his feet and palled the bell rope- The engineer, George Ciickaer, heard the signal, but, tinding i t impossible to stop his engine, which was tearing at the rate or thirty miles an hour, he saw that the only hope was to increase the speed. He threw cpen the throttle, and thus prevented the cars from toppling over the trestle work. The cars swayed from side so side, but they were safely cariied out of danger.

    Mr. George H. Tallman, of No 159 Barclay street, this city, in spoaking of the accidenc, said: "It was a miraculous escape. I was sitting in the smoking-car when I felt a shock as though something bad struck the bottom of the coach. The lamp3 fell from the car roof wi th a cra»b, and then all was confusion. There were just two things that saved us from falling into the gully—a quics-witted engi-neer and the heavy beams that were nailed down on the bridge parallel to the rail."

    The only person icjured was Captaia War-ren, of the steamer St John. His injuries are not thought to be serious. The last car of the train was a total wreck, and the others were more or less damaged.

    A Farmer's Capture. L I T T L E R O C K , Ark., Jan. 14.—Some time

    ago a number of convicts employed in the mines at Coal Hill escaped by tunneling. An old farmer made his appearance at the camp yesterday and called for the "Captain." He gave his name as James Johnson, and had six of the fugitives all iu a row, with their hands on each other's shoulders.

    H e heard of the escape, and believed, on account of the intensely cold weather, the men would seek shelter instead of traveling. He located ten of them, and last night, when

    Jibe were sleeping in a hay stack, captured their guard and Ave others. The remainder escaped.

    2/ie iLeaiher today is iikecy to be fair and warwier.

    New Hamburg embroideries ready.

    Fine tiny patterns, threads al-most invisible; generous, broad effects; and all the way between.

    Point de Venise embroideries ought to be better known We'll fill a window with them. The fabric wrought upon is completely covered, every thread oi it. Nothing but net-work of cotton wound on cotton. The winding-thread itself is indistin-guishable. Frost on the win-dow-pane. It ought to be widely known; but nobody keeps it. Nothing short of the prettiest things in the world is enough for us.

    White cottons likewise; many and various. The new ones are ready. Southwest from the center.

    Competition in women's over-garments seems to be uncom-monly sharj)—in the newspa-pers. It isn't nearly so sharp in the store.

    We have an abundant supply of new things—by new we mean not older than fall—no old ones to speak of. We have kept them cheap enough all along to command the trade. And, since the crest of the wave passed, we have made them cheaper yet as we could.. And now we are ac-tually buying for half, more or less.

    Jackets, coats, raglans, new-markets, Russian circulars, dol-mans, short wraps—all these we have fcr half and three-quarters of what they were a month ago; $3.50 to $25. 130I Chestnut

    Seal-cloth coats, $25 to $50— the $25 was $35 a little while ago. Plush wraps $15 to $50. Brocade and fancy wraps for half and less than halt—$20 to $75.

    Cloth dresses $8 to $25. There's a trifle of profit in some of them. 1303 Chestnut, second floor.

    Men's clothing just as low. By the middle Market-street door.

    Men's thick merino under-wear, nearly two dollars'-worth for one; Medlicott mills $1 a garment; all sizes: full regular-made. Such a price is alto-gether unexpectable any time of year. West of Arcade, third counter

    Knit-wool skirts, $1.50 and

    $1.75—two-thirds. Canton-flin-nel with quilted Farmer's satin bottoms, 85 cents—two-thirds. Cloth, trimmed with bouele and color stripes, $2.75 to $4— three-quarters. Cashmere $6 and $7.50 — three - quarters. Down-in-sateen $5—five-sixths on the average. All the warm skirts are down except satia. West of Arcade, seventh counter; hy the car.

    Muslin underwear, two-thirds for the styles we are going to drop. It you want the newest patterns, watt till February. West of Arcade, eighth counter; by the car.

    Balbriggan vests, new make, very fine and soft for the mod-erate prices, 75 cents and $1; high neck, long and short sleeves. West of Arcade, fifth counter.

    Gay hose from Chemnitz; fine and heavy lisje: three styles for women $1.50, and three for men.

    These are the color combina-tions:

    WOMEX'8 hlack-and- mandarin navy-biue-and-mandarin black -and cardinal navy-ble-and-cardinal pale-sky-and-rose-pink hlack-and-white

    MEN'S navy-blue-and-cardinal bronze- and-ecru dark-gray-and-white black-and-cardinal black-and-white

    Ihey are worth the money apart from their novel beauty. West of Arcade, fifth counter.

    Warm gloves for men and women for little or much as you like. Clumsy warm Scotch-wool to rich and beautiful double silk. West of Arcade, tenth counter.

    Lucky babies they are who get these pretty slips and dresses for half their value. West of the Arcade, ninth counter; by the car.

    Pocket-books with all the business out of them. We don't like to say how much a thing is worth and sell It for less; but that's the easiest way to the fact sometimes. These are rubbed, or shop-worn, OE old:

    Leather snap-purse. 3 cents; not worth so much as 10; wouldn't care to have a purse aoout that isn't worth lO cents.

    Silk-plush ditto, 5 cents; worth 25 . if perfect. Japanese snap-purse, 50 cents; worth $1 .50

    when in fashion. Japanese porte-monnaie, $1 ; worth double any

    day. Kussia pecket-book, 50 cents; worth 75 , which

    isn't saying much for it. Seal pocketbook, three openings, J l ; value

    f l . 7 5 . Enssia card-case, 50 cents; worth $1 .50 if per-

    fect. Ditto larger, 60 cents; worth $1.75.

    All these and ten or twenty sorts more, from ten to a hun-dred books of a sort are in a glass case by themselves in the morning. How long they'll stay there depends on you. North from the center.

    We'll give you one more day at the damaged books as they are; and then we'll consider what are left as almost good for nothing and mark them so. Take your pick today. We'll have a crowd there again to-morrow.

    Calendars 2 cents up. We seem to trifle. Not at aU. There's enough for a day.

    French. We imported a few in November. You caught them up in a day. We cabled for more. They came too late. They go today for half. There are two or three-hundred—fifty different; unmistakably French. They beat us out of sight and hearing. — South of the Thirteenth-street door.

    Take the damaged photo-graph-albums for half the prices of yesterday. Northwest of the center.

    You know, of course, that we keep all the muslins^ you want, and nobody sells them for less. Four or five rows of shelving sixty feet long are full of them. Nowhere else are these three muslin-dealing virtues held in equal honor: variety, careful choosing of sorts, correctness of names. Northeast of the center.

    Brussels, moquette and wil-ton carpets, old patterns, three-quarters. If you care for the money, now is your time. If you want the newest patterns, wait a bit. Market-street front. secotdSoor. Take car.
