ANOTHER EnroRIA NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Emporis justly takes pride in her buildings
erected this season, and In the elegant stores
| they contain. Among them Ia the building Of
J. C. Hall q Bro, next to their old stand On
Commercial street, and their new store room
on It's first door. The building is Of brick,
s5xeO, two good stories high, and well made
throughout. The upper door is not yet I'm
ished. It will make very desirable rooms.
The stair In remarkably easy or ascent.
But Halls new store is the principal object.
1t is s5xsO. The glass front, panes Ssx62, Ad-
mits 3 perfect food OF light. and the ample
rear windows DO the same. A better lighted
store Is not TO be found In any city. Il is =
model. The wood work-counters, shelving,
&C., is massive, yet light and artistic in ap-
pesrance. Il. 8. Thomas was the carpenter.
The counter-tops are Of solid black walnut
planks, 32 inches wide, sawed out at Altoons,
Wilson county. The shelving, doors, show
windows, &C., are painted "ChinG white" by
Frobcrg, and the counters and drawers are
beautifully grained in maple and oak. by Lar
son. The ceiling 10 ornamented by two large
designs in fresco, by Sehwarr, who sdorns
Rurgan / Holmes best carriages. These cen
ter pieces are quite pretty and fanciful, with
psychological heads and baskets 81 flowers and
fruits, interpreted with minor designe-the
whole showing that Mr.. Schwarr is an accom-
plished artist, and if he gets q chance at one
Of our new church ceilings, he will execute 3
very superior work. The wall and ceiling fin
ish is trst-clsss. The entire store presents 3
light, air., handsome appearance, which cannot
fail to attract the admiration OF sll who look
into il.
OF the goods In stock, = word may be said.
They comprise . full assortment OF dry goods
Of every variety and style, carpets, hats and
caps, boots and shoes, and fine lot Of the
popular Home and Singer sewing machines.
Over $4,000 Of new goods are now enroute,
and viii be unpacked in few days. We
need hardly add that Hall Bros. are genial
aud popular gentlemen, reliable merchants,
and that their building and store Is evidence
Of the excellent trade they have built up in
Emporia, and which they will continue TO
STEADILY increase,

particularly his fathers papers, were worth
much more than the house itself DIR. ArInor
was to stop at Cincinnati on his way east. and
Telegram VIII reach him there il possible.
Mr.. Armor said he had been ID years in Kan
SIS, but that Sunday was by all odds the
ebluest day he had put in. He saved in
clothing only his pAnts and shirt. He had
borrowed = vest and hat. bought pair Of
boots, and Was thinking how 10 raIse coat.
HE wife saved about much As ne did. Her
Wedding clothes (they vert oUt recently mar
Tied) were all destroyed. The house burned,
furniture, clothing, &c, all turned TO ashes,
winter just coming on, farm and stock TO be
cared fpr-Ar. Amor felt, though young and
hopeful, that it was most decidedly blue
time for him, and the worst OF all was the
news he must send TO his parents. Until DR..
Arnor returns the extent Of the loss cannot
be asceEtained. He has the earnest sympathy
Of ell his friends. HIS misfortune is severe,
but not irreparabie.

SEVERELY HURT.-Horace Holderman, OF
Verdigris. son Of Jacob HoldermAn, came near
losing his life ON Friday evening last In
company with four others he wss going In .
wagon to the junction depot. When near the
brick school house, the mules took 1t into their
head 10 run away. One Of the lines broke,
and OF course they soon had things their own
way. All except young Horace jumped from
the wagon and escaped unhurt. He was soon
thrown out violently. When picked up he
was insensible. He remained in this condi-
tlOn about two hour. Upon examination It
was found that his collar bone WAS broken and
his face badly bruised. One Of the gentlemen
with him thinks he was carried around on the
wheel, aud thrown to the ground upon his
face. He is now able to set up, and will come
out all right In few days.
