TINES HAVE CHANGED. The method
OF business has changed somewhat in
the last few years, inasmuch that those
who contemplate making a purchase
remain at home with one object in view
OF seeing what and where will be the
most favorable opportunity to make
their purchases. No better chance was
ever offered in this region than the
present, to secure such rare and fine
fabrics as silka, silk poplins, cashmeres,
velours, velyets, frs, slawls aud the
like. 1t has been many years since
this class OF goods has descended to
anything like the figures at which they
are now offered at the closing out sale
by the energetic and driving house Of
Messrs |. Blum i Bro, at llO4 Man

SLIGHTLY INACoURArE.-The Register
of yesterday Gays:
THE City Council passed resolu-
ton on Tuesday night reducing the
wharfage Of the Pittsburgh and Zsnes-
vile packet, Carrie Brooks, from ten
dollars to three for each landing"
The Carrie Brooks never paid ten
dollars for a landing" She paid al
the rate OF five dollars for over half an
hour at the wharf, and two fifty for
less than that time Yesterdays INTEL
Hgencer.
There is not the slightest inaccuracy
about the item that appeared in Thurs
days RsGIsrER. We simply stated the
matter as it occurred in Council, and
our neighbor around the corner can
convince himself by calling at the
City Clerks Office and making the nec-
esesry inquiries The captain OF the
Carrie Brooks sent petition 10 Coun-
Gil, asking reduction OF wharfage, stat
ing that it cost him ten dollars wharf
age every time he landed his boat at
Wheeling. The committee on Wharyes
having had the matter under consid-
Grafton, recommended the following
which was adopted by the Second
Branch:
Resolved, That the Wharfmsster be
instructed 10 collect three dollars
wharfage from the steamsr Carrie
Brooks for each landing.
Hereafter, "be sure you are right
then 60 straight ahead"

A BOLD TH1EF.-One Of the boldest

A BOLD THIgF.-One OF the boldest
attempts at robbery that has occurred in
this city for long time, took place last
night. The particulars of the affair
are as follows:
About six and half o'clock last
evening, a well dressed, young looking
man, entered the jewelry store OF c. P.
Brown Il Co., on 18th street. under
Washington Hall, and informed Mr..
Brown that he desired to look at some
watches, with view of making pur-
chase, at the same time pointing to a
silver watch in the show case and in-
curing the price Of it. While
the stranger was examining the watch
and asking the price OF others
in the show case, a gentleman entered
the store and asked Mr.. Brown to reg
ulate his watch, which he proceeded to
do, leaving tn stranger still looking at
his contemplated purchase. Before
Mr.. Brown had finished the work he
was at, he observed the stranger about
leaving the store, whereupon he re.
marked, "You seem to be in hurry
sirT" Mr.. Stranger paid no attention
to the interrogatory, but coolly stepped
out, closed the door, put a heavy stick
through the handle, ard securely fast
ened Mr.. Brown and his customer in
the inside. Fortunately, J. F. Merri-
man happened to be passing along and
observing the singular performance
approached and Was about to take hold
of the man, when be fled up 18th
street. Mr.. Merriman Immediately
pursued the fellow, who ran like scar
ed deer up 10Th street. and down Chap
line, until he reached the rear end Of
the Odd Fellows Hall, at which place
he tursed down the alley. Mr., Merri-
man fired at him as he ran down the
alley, but without effect.
In the meantime Sheriff Brown, havs
ing eeen the fellow 60 down the alley,
and knowing he would be compelled TO
come out, proceeded d0wn!l2th street,
and arrived at the corner just
in time 10 catch him as he
emerged from the alley at the
Mcclure House. Mr.. Brown march Ell
him right off to the lookup, where he
will remain until his examination to-
day. The watch was valued at $50,
but was not in his possession when
caught and it is supposed he dropped
it ducing the chase, or threw it away.
He gives his name as Edward Mil
ton, and claims TO be from Cleveland
He seems TO be about 20 or 81 year.

address. He played bold game but

The Medal Of Progress was awarded
to inventions made since the Worlds
