JEWELRY ASSOCIATION

Calls your attention to the fact of its being the larg-
est and most popular Jewelry Association in the
United States: The business is and always has been
conducted in the most candid and honorable manner
Our rapidly increasing trade is guarantee OF
the appreciation of patrons for this method of
obtaining rich, elegant and costly goods. The sud
den sagnation of trade in Europe owing to the late
German war, and recent disastrous financial crisis
in Europe, has caused the failure of large number
of Jewelry houses in London and Paris, obliging
them to sell their goods at great sacrifice in some
instances less than third the cost of
ing. We have lately purchased very largely of these
Bankrupt Goods, at suoh extremely low prices that
we can afford to send away Finer Goods and give
better chances to draw the valuable prizes than
any other establishment doing similar business
OUR AIM IS TO PLEASE, and we respectfully soic-
it your patronage, confident of giving the
utmost satisfaction. During the past year we have
parts of the country. Those who patronize us will
receive the full value of their money as no article on
our list is worth less than One Dollar retail and there
are no Blanks. Parties dealing with may depend
on having prompt returns, and the article drawn
will be Immediately sent to any address by return
mail or express. s.-.

The main question in the Impeach-
ment trial is, whether the executor OF
the laws has a right to violate them, and
if not, should he not be punished for the
crime? Is the President exempt from OBJ
legations to obey the law which all other
citizens are bound to obey? In his ans
wer he admitted that he had violated a
law of Congress. For that he should be
punished. To be sure he offers an ex-
cuse, but this excuse would justify him
and future Presidents in disobeying all
laws. Tyranny or anarchy would be the
consequence

Disadynntare Of Trails.

About seven o'clock yesterday even
ing, as two young ladies dressed in
black, with long trails to their dresses,
were turning the corner of Fourth
street to go down Monroe, one of them
accidentally tread on the others trail,
while she was Just in the act of giving
it a flirt with her hand to keep it from
dragging in the gutter. This unex-
pected jerk threw the little extremities
on the end of the pedestals of the lady
who tread on the trail from under her
body, and consequently the pavement
caught what was left of her. She soon
recovered her equilibrium, however, by
gathering herself up int an upright
position, when her companion indus
triously labored to rub the mud from
her dress, to give it the appearance as
though it had never touched "the nasty,
dirty mud" After which they went on
their way with countenance lit up
with more bushes than smiles, and
cogitated seriously of abandoning
trails in future when the streets are
muddy.

Drowned.

Drowned.
A very sad affair occurred about five
o'clock yesterday evening at the boat
yard of Dunlevy & Wilson in the acct
dental drowning of small boy named
Greiner, aged about six years, whose
parents reside in North Wheeling. 1t
appears that in the afternoon he and
several of his little companions were
play ing in skiff, attached to raftt, and
in running back and forward, he unfor-
tunately fell out into the river. 1t is
said that no one was near to save him,
and by the time his other little play
mates, terribly frightened, had made
known what had happened, he was
drowned. Every effort was made to re-
cover his body, but up to late hour
last evening it was not discovered. 1t
is surprising that there are not more
cases of drowning from the careless
manner in which small boys play about
and in the river, and this should serve
as a warning to parents to watch their
children while the river is high.
