TO TEIE PUBLIC!

Notwithstanding the strong pressure for
" cheaper" goods Ito which most manu-
facturers have yielded by lowering both
Quality and Price, l have maintained the
highest standard of our product while re-
ducing prices by every legitimate means.
The people are tired of 'shoddy" cloth
ing, bought only from necessity, and the
country's improvement is evidenced by the
growing demand for better goods.
For the Spring of 1879 L have prepared
one of the choicest stocks of Stylish Cloth
ing ever produced, and my prices are as
low as the cost of labor and material will
permit. Terms cash.

"Mothcr Goose" assisted by Mother Hub
bard" received her friends at the Whitney
Avenue Chapel last Friday evening. The ex-
ercises consisted of recitals in verse and song
by upward of fifty children, appropriately
costumed, of the histories Of the various
characters portrayed in reliable biographies OF
the aforesaid Anticipated matrOn. The char
acters were well sustained by the little partic-
pants, as was evinced by the frequent mani
fcstatious of approval which their efforts met.
The exercises throughout were novel and full
of interest, especially to the Juveniles, whose
manifest appreciation was heartily enjoyed by
the more staid and sedate portion Of the au'
diencc. As the inclemoncy of the weather
prevented many from attending, it has been
determined to repeat it next Friday evening,
when it is hoped that both the weather and
the attendance may be such as to insure tht
success which the effort deserves.

Recovery in Actions of Tort.

Argument was heard in the Supreme Court
of the United States yesterday in the case of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company vs.
Larkin A. Bell Error TO the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia. This was an
action by Bell to recover for injuries to his
wife, sustained at the crossing of II and First
streets northeast in July, 1873, in consequence
Of panic in n street.car, caused by imminent
danger Of collision with the train of the
company. Mrs. Lsrkin, with an infant in her
arms, spraug out of the street-car and was
knocked down by the engine, her child being
killed. The wife was joined in the action,
but died before the trial of the cause. The
trial resulted in a Judgment for 5000,
which was subsequently reduced to $4,000;
but still the company was not satisfied, and
brought the case here, claiming that negligence
on the part of the driver of the street car
caused the accident, and that this being so,
there should have been no recovery. On the
other hand, it is contendcd that the plaintiff
in such II case could hold either or both compa-
MES responsible for the damages sustained, and
that therefore the recovery was just and legal.
Which of the two positions is the correct one
is the main question at issue in this court
James A. Buchanan for plaintiff in error; W.
A. Cook and L. A. Newman for defendant.

Edward Ray Acquitted.

The jury in the case of Edward Ray, alias
Major L, II. Curtis, indicted for outragng the
person of Miss Ella Tydings, of Baltimore, ON
the night of March 90, 1877, at the National
Hotel, in this city, came into the Criminal
Court Justice Hagner) yesterday morning
with verdict of acquittal. The night before
the report was general that the jury stood
eleven for conviction and one for acquittal;
and when it was announced many were conf
dent that the accused had been convicted.
There were others, however, who maintained
that the status of tho jury was directly the re-
verse of that published, and subsequent devel.
opments proved that they were correct. When
the verdict was rendered there was considera-
bic astOnishment manifested, and both the
Judge aud District Attorney seemed sur
priscd but nothing was said beyond what was
necessary in recording the verdict. There being
no other charge against the prisoner he was re-
leased from arrest. The jury stood at first ten
for acquttal and two for conviction-MeSsis
Mahoncy and Baicr. The former soon Joined
the majority, but the latter held out all night
II is said that at four o'clock yesterday morn
ing he consented to unite with them in ver-
dict, and then withdrew, aud 1t was not until
seven hours later that he joined in agreeing to
a verdict of not guilty. After the accused was
discharged he left the chamber accompanied
| by friends that have stood with him through
his trouble. The verdiCtin the case has created
considerable comment, and much more interest
and indignation was manifested yesterday
than was supposed to exist.
