There were three cars of stock with the
train. one of which, loaded with sheep,
was turned over and three sheep killed
Seven or eight cars were damaged. The
engineer, G Mayhem, leaped from his en-
CINE as it struck the slide and badly
spfained his ankle. The engine was turned
over and damaged to the extent of about
$500. The track was cleared for the pas
sage of other trains in twelve hours.

for selling liquor to minors. but the Com
monwealth's attorney not having time to
draw up the cases in this term of the court,

Many of the witnesses were grown young
men, of whom it was impossible to tell, ex-
cept on their own statement, whether they
were 81 years old or not, and some of them
are little boys, in whose cases the matter
was clear. Just before the Grand Jury adj
journed a paper was handed in giving the
names of number of citizens who could
testify relative to the "tiger.'' They will
be summoned before the special Grand
Jury which meets next month.

The bill to provide a law library for the

icy, for balance due for construction Of
the Blue Ridge tunnel and railroad, for

the House Tuesday, in discussion as to
the M it of the plans to enlarge the pres

MI Stuart made brief statement of facts
to show that the policy of charging should
be adopted, both on account of economy OF
construct on and in view OF the inability
of the State to embark in the costly scheme
Of establis ing third asylum. Mr.. Full
kerson thought it would be best to build a
new instiiutsOn and, perhaps, also to en-

Almost every speaker had the statistics
and facts pertaining to the subject at his

the diversity of views exhibited. From
the same data, opposite deductions were
drawn, and DR.. S5ribling's opinions were
auoted in support Of every side. Towards
thu Ia some tartness was thrown into

BUY RIGHT AND MONEY is ALREADY

We buy our Goods " Auction Houses, and

quote the regular market By at least 20 to IS per
cent, and to sell to the public. and to men TO
retail, at less th>n the case price at the mill.
An importer, hard up, will offer goods at cost
to raise money, but when note is due to NOR
row and money must be had, he tumbles his
goods into the auction rooms where cost or no
cost, they must go. We buy them at nearly our
own price.
Money is a tip-top thing, but brains is the
master. We buy our goods CHEAP and our pro-
fits are already saved and made, giving US the
double advantage of selling at prices that must
crush the opposition, who will at once start the
cry that our goods are stolen, or that we are
about to fail, getting up reputation for US,
without the expense of advertising-so by ju.
dicious management we may easily turn the
enemy's guns upon his retreating line or put
him in harness upon double duty.
To-day wooden mill stops, tomorrow their
goods will be displayed in he auction room snd
sold for half its value. Next day Hosiery

and sold at an immense sacrifice. SO, day after

bewilder both buyer and seller, only to prove
that, in this advanced age of stubborn and I'M

these giant engines afford.
We DO not pretend, nor do we wish to lead
the public to believe that we keep full or reg
