WE WILL HAVE THE PAY OR KEEP OUR
 GOODS!

We hereby notify our friends and the public generally that from this time forth we will cease to sell for credit on any terms whatever. We are aware that in order to do this we will have to sell cheaper than our neigh bors, and we are prepared to do so. As we are building we are very much pressed for cash, and therefore 1t will be better for us to sell for cost than to sell on ever so short a time, no Elatter how good the buyer. The facts in the case are just these: it Is a necessity with us to have our goods or to have the wherewith to buy Of course we do not expect to do so much business, but we are de- termined to do what we can.

A WEALTHY THIEF.

earned much money. which he carefully boarded.
He was thought to be the very embodiment Of hon.
esty. He had amsssed snug fortune-not less
than $35.O00 or S45.000. Last week hint
given his employers that he rob-
bing them. but astonished and incredulous we're
they that while they hesitated he got wind of the
danger and made his escape. He work as
usual At hali-rast seven N. on Thursday morning.
but walked out again at halpast eight and
turned. 1t is believed from what can be
learned from Paterson brokers with whom
he changed his available notes and paper
into gold that he took with him about $25 900.
When his house was entered the rooms found
filled with great variety OF goods stolen from the
MILL including felts paints. oils. chemicals colors.
brass. copper y&c.-a vast and incongruous collec-
ton. There five truck loads, and all carted
back to the MILL Some of tho colors aud chemicals
were very costly. while much of the plunder of
little value. The property left behind by Krebs,
consisting mainly Of real estate. all placed the
hands of q sister. Mrs. Earnest Of Canal street. in
trust.
