New-York tribune., 1879-12-12

The city was ordered in the courts yester-
day TO pay dearly for what was probably a
IabOTer's or foreman's carelessness. A wagon
wheel running into an excavation in the
street caused a child to be thrown out of the
wagon tue child fell upon its head, and sus-
tanned permanent injuries to the brain. Suit
was brought for $4,000, and verdict for
$3, 600 was obtained. And the average citi-
zen must feel that 1t was little enough.

An incident in the French Chamber of Dep
uties yesterday strikingly illustrates the French
way of doing things as distinguished from al
most every other way known to the civilized
world. The Minister of the Interior moved a
special grant OF 100000 francs for the re-
lief of the existing depression, declared that
he would he responsible for the roper distri-
button of the money. and demanded the adop-
tion of the motion as a vote OF confidence in
the Government. Out of Chamber OF 532
members all but five were present and voted.
and there were only three votes against the
grant.

When you come 10 Mankato be sure
to go and see j. q. Andrews, the pro-
prietOr of the New York Boot and
Shoe Store, as you will save 50 per
cent. on all goods bought from him.
You will find the largest stock to
select from as he has the only COM
plete stock in Mankato. You will
find his prices the lowest, as he is the
only man dealing in Boots and Shoes,
who buys all his goods for cash and
discounts all his bills. You will find
his prices the lowest because he
bought all his goods before the rise
in the Eastern markets. You will
find his prices the lowest, as he sells
for cash and cash only. You will
find it to your interest to buy your
Boots and Shoes at the New York
Store, as you get all new and clean
goods to select from. You will find
it to your interest to go and see j. G
Andrews, the only exclusive Boot
and Shoe dealer of Mankato when
you want prices on Boots and Shoes,
as he is determined to umdersell every
other shoe dealer in Southern Mime
sofa. My motto in the future, is as
in the past, to sell so per cent. cheap
er than any other house in Mankato.
LADIES you will always find a full
stock of fine shoes at the New York
Shoe Store, for ladies misses and chill
dren, as j. G. Andrews is the only
dealer in Southern Minnesota, who
keeps a full and complete line of fine
shoes. ladies you will always find a
full line of Burt shoes at the New
York Shoe Store. Ladies will find
the Ziegler Bros shoes at the IA
nous New York Shoe Store. Ladies
will find Gray Bros fine shoes at the
New York Shoe Store.
Remember the times are hard and
money scarce, and that you must buy
your Fall and Winter stock of Boots
and Shoes as cheap as possible, and
in order to do so you will find it to
your interest to call and examine my
large and well selected stock of boots
and shoes. My stock is all first-class
and of the best makes known and en-
tirely clean, as l have no shop worn
goods, nor goods carried over for the
last ten years as you will find in 9TH
er places. My stock is new, my
prices new, my method of doing bust
ness new. My experience in the
boot and shoe business for the last
fifteen years enables me to buy close
and to buy nothing but what sells,
and / know what goods are, and how
to buy them, and as goods well
bought are half sold, so it is with me.
Remember the place, New York Shoe
Store, next door to Geo. NJ. Rays
Grocery Store, and strangers will find
the place by following the crowd.
