CRUSH OF BUYERS IN THE GREAT FIFTH WARD
WAREHOUSE.
The first day of II. B. Claaiu Il Co'a great sale
attracted throng of purchasers to the great store,
which extends from Church street TO West Broad
way, in which one looked in vain for evidences
of panic and commercial distrust. From early
morning until darkness suspended bus ,coun-
try merchants and city merchants filled the
avenues between the vast piles Of opened goods,
so that salesmen could scarcely move around and
u movement to make way for porters with their
trucks cccasiOned q movement along the whole
.linel nany doubt existed of the WELDON o c the
plano realizing upon gOOds on hand 1t was settled
by glance ut the tremendous business that was
done. Those who went there intended TO buy,
and knew the value Of what was offered. The
ouly bickering arose from the assertion Of prior
claims to be waited on. A salesman secured one
glance at the goods was followed by speedy de-
cision upon the quantity desired, and the balance
Of the work fell TO the parties who packed the
orders. .-s ,..rt
Throughout the day one door of entry to tho
packing room was never empty of loaded truck
nor that OF exit OF truck newly discharged. Men
who had heretofore bought goods by pieces found
the cash to order cases. Retailers, too in signh
cant hitherto to obtain goods at stores where Job
bers bought, purchased bills that will stock then
for season. Commission houses, too, took ad
vantage OF the low prices to obtain stocks tha
were cheap enough to promise profit by auction
| A. I. Stewart q Co. are inclined to meet th,
| reduced prices Of Clafin & Co. At their retail
| store goods were sold over the counter ut tn
same prices that Clafin marked them at. Tn
wholesale store, too, was filed with blIyeFs
Peake, Opdvcke & Co. also trod the new mad
track, and the example will have to be foilowe,

The Manitoba Huss Settled.

The St. Paul Press has dispatches
from Fort Garry, dated the 10th
announcing the satisfactory settlement
of the Manitoba muss, and the release
of all the prisoners arrested for the
alleged kidnapping of Gordon Gordon
The Press dispatches say The grand
jury found true bill against Hoy,
Kegan, Fletcher aud Bently, severally
and separately and none against Aer-
riam, and Benson, the livery stable
keeper, for participating in the kid
mapping Of Gordon. Hoy and Kegan
were each indicted as principals on
three separate charges, and Fletcher
and Bentley as accessories on two char
ges.
Bentley, Hoy and Kegan plead
guilty, and their counsel, Mr.. McKen-
sic, then reviewed the whole history
OF the case, showing that the capture
of Gordon was undertaken upon legal
advice, that the bail bond was a valid
warrant, and in firm belief that the
process was lawful one that they
sinned in ignorance and with no guilty
motive. He earnestly asked the le-
nlency of the court. The tone and
temper of the Attorney Generals
speech was in marked contrast to his
violent denunciation of the prisoners
on their preliminary examination. He
said nothing harsh against the prison
ers, and said that all the Crown asked
for was that the law be vindicated.
These three prisoners were sentenced
to "a hours imprisonment.
Fletcher plead not guilty, and asked
a continuance, which was granted and
bail accepted.

The Bank of England Forgers.

The sentence of the four Bank of
England forgers to penal servitude
for life, though spoken of by the Lon
don press as one of"tremendous severe
ity," is universally approved. Their
guilt was clearly established, and the
jury was out only fifteen minutes. Be-
fore sentence was passed Macdonald,
one of the forgers, mode a speech in
which he confessed mis- own guilt,
though trying.to screen his companions,
and stated that the forgery and its
mode OF operating were suggested to
him by single weak point in English
commercial practice. In New York,
bills Of exchange, when about to be
discounted, are taken to the acceptors
to be initiated. BY this simple ezpe-
dient, forgery Of an acceptance would
be an attempt to extract money from
man by means of his forged signature
placed before his own eyes In Lon
don, bills are not thus initiated,
or were not before the forgerles,
though doubtless they will be here
after. His plans were admirably laid,
and the forgeries might have continued
for months but for the accidental omis-
sion of figure IN the date of an ae-
ceptance, when the bill being taken
to the acceptor for Insertion Of the
date was found to be forgery, and
the miae exploded. Three of the
forgers are under 80 years of age, and
the fourth 81. Even short term of
spenal servitude" has sufficient horrors
for the average English criminal, but
one cannot conceive of more horrible
prospect than lifetime OF such punish
ment -Echonqe.
