Card.

Relieving nearly one year ago that
the present Autumn would see the
country on the high road to prosperity,
we commenced then to make prepara-
tions for a business of great magnitude.
To properly arrange for stock sur
passing all we had before attempted, we
sent aboard several buyers, who visited
all the chief manufacturing centers of
Europe, especially in England, France
and Germany.
Through them we have succeeded in
contracting for large quantities of Spec
ialities, which will be confined to our
stock of Novelties and Staple Fabrics,
unsurpassed in the American market.
The most careful study has been gives
to the cheapening of supplies, and it in
believed that with our present arrange
ments the consumer who deals at our
house will stand nearer to the producer
than ever before in the history of the
trade.
The products of the best makers, For
eign and Domestic, will be distributed
by us in any quantity, small or large,
with only our own small profit added to
the lowest prices (less all discounts) at
which manufacturers will contract with
the largest cash buyers.
A number of alterations and improve
ments have been made to our store
property conducting still further than
heretofore to the convenience and COM
fort of patrons, and respectfully invit-
ing visits of inspection on and after this
date, September 15, we announce the
formal opening of the Fall Business
of 1879. Respectfully submitted by

A Long Search.

On the 9th of February three-year
old daughter was stolen from William
Price, a tailor of Aurora, ILL.,, while she
was playing in front of the house. AT
ter being completely satisfied that she
was not in town, he went to Chicago,
whence he traced her to New York.
After weeks of unavailing search, he
had given up and was about to go
home, when, as he was passing the
Foote House, corner of Twenty sixth
street and Third avenue, he saw child
at window. He ran to police station
for help, but when he returned she was
gone. He obtained a clue to her disap-
pearance she had been taken to Nova
Scotia. Thither he journeyed, only to
find that the party having his daughter
had sailed for Liverpool on ship. Mr..
Price took the first steamer and arrived
in advance of the sailing vessel. He
told his case to the Liverpool police, and
all vessels from Nova Scotia were
searched as they came in, but he found
no trace of the child till one morning in
August, when a ship came to anchor
while he stood on the landing stage
watching, and boat loaded with people
came scrambling ashore. Among the
passengers the father saw his child. In
a few minutes she was in his arms, after
an absence of seven months. During
all ,his search Mr.. Price had not commu-
nicated with his wife or friends. Upon
the discovery of the stolen one he at
once cabled home and then took the first
steamer for America.

Caught After Sixteen Years.

Sixteen years ago there lived a man
named Arthur Elliott, hermit, on the
banks of Muscotatuck river, on the line
between Jackson and Washington coun-
ties. He was the possessor of large
amount of money, and one dark night,
August 21st, 1854, he was shot and NOR
tally wounded. He fingered few days
and died, but before he died he disclosed
to his most intimate friends the names
of some of the robbers, part of whom
he knew. Reason Lane, one of the sus-
pected parties, somewhat of despera-
do, has just been arrested in Washing
ton county, and will be brought to
Brownstown for trial. Others of the
suspected ones still reside in jackson
county, while others still have left the
country.

A Disappointed lew.

A Hebrew in Salt Lake City was SEN
fenced to three months in the chain
gang. After a month was served he got
very tired of it, and thought he would
try to get himself out. Learning that a
span of mules had been stolen, he in
quired about the time of the theft and a
description of the mules, determined
that he would make use of this informa-
ton in order to regain his liberty. So
he sent for one of the police officers, TO
whom he confessed having been guilty
of stealing the mules, and gave such a
plausible account of the story, that it
was at once given to the District Attor-
ney for use. Berger says he thought
that by this means an indictment would
be found against him, he would be re-
leased from the city prison, trial would
prove his innocence, and he would be
discharged. He was right about the in
dictment, but when it came to the trial,
he was convicted and sentenced to six
years in the Penitentiary. The moral of
this, we suppose, is, never confess any
thing, especially if you didn't do it.

Wreck of a Railway Train.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.- A special dis
patch from Quincy, ILL.,, to the Journal
says: IAN incoming passenger train
on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad, at $40 last night, was wreck
ed seven miles from Quincy, while un-
der ordinary speed, by tie which some
malicious person had bound across the
track. A. N. Pease, fireman, was in
stantly killed, James Mcmillan badly
hurt, and Postal Clerks Pierce and Gill
Ian severely injured. The postal and
baggage cars were badly wrecked and
overturned, and all their occupants
more or less bruised. The passengers
were considerably shaken up, but none
seriously injured"

A Modern Gunpuwder Plot.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 16.-The Corbin
hotel, occupied by Henry Corbin, at
Westerville, in this county, was blown
up on Sunday night by gunpowder. The
building was occupied by a number of
people, but no one except Corbin was
injured, and he not fatally. Corbin
asserts that the deed was done by the
village rowdies, and is the outcome of
his refusal to cease selling liquors in the
village. Four years ago, a building he
occupied as saloon was demolished by
gunpowder, and Corbin left the town,
only returning short time ago; but all
attempts to arrest the guilty parties
prove failures.

The Longest Beard in the World.


In Norwich, Connecticut, there is
man who probably wears the longest
beard of any man in the world. His
name is Henry G. Cook, tailor by
trade. He never makes display of his
beard, but wears 1t concealed in little
bag under his shirt bosom. The beard
is six feet six inches in length, and,
when allowed to fall its length it will
reach his toes and stretch out on the
floor ten inches and looks like large
skein of brown silk. 1t was six inches
longer than at present, but a short time
ago he trimmed It Off to its present
length. Mr.. Cook says it has been
growing about twenty-one years. A year
ago p. Il. Barnum called on him and
tried to induce him to travel with his
show, but Mr.. Cooks modesty, and the
desire of his wife that he should not
accept Barnum's liberal offer, induced
him to reject it. In speaking of Cook
in connection with the man with
long beard in Michigan, Barnum said
Cooks was by far the longest and
finest of the two. Mr.. Cook often
shows his beard to visitors, but is not
in the habit of making a great parade
over it, The truth of these statements
can be substantiated by calling on him
at his place of business.

WILL THERE BE A UNION?

AN EFFORT TO BE MADE TO CONSOLIDATE THE
RIVAL DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS IN THIS CITY.
1t said in political circles last night that
effort would soon be made to consolidate the rival
factions of the democratic party in this city Ia
known that many members Of the Democratic State
Central Committee in favor of movement to
put an to the present divided condition Of the
party in this city, and the only question upon
which it is claimed they do not agree Ii
to the means to be adopted to secure this end.
Some. it is said of opinion that the best thing
to do would be to have both Irving Hall and Tam
many Hall disbanded. and upon the ruins Of both
organizations erect party in the city.
Against this it. is argued that the Tam.
many leaders would never consent to have their
organization done away with and that the Irving
Hall adherents would be just rs unlikely to
agree to such proposition. Nevertheless it appears
to be the opinion among some OF the prominent
held out to some Of the influential men in the
two factions they might consent to join q general
movement looking to the formation OF an entirely
and distinct political party in this county.
The regular Democratic State Central Committee
shortly otter its organization i'll this CITY, appointed
committee OF fifteen to aid the State COMMITTEES in

committee of fifteen subsequently, Organized repre-

of these District committees met last evening in tho
Aston House aud informally discussed the present
state OF affairs in the political The leaders in
nearly all the districts expressed themselves in favor
continuing the organization, and it is said that
the leaders hope that. as compromise ar
rangement, this committee will be recognized
q representing the real democracy or the
county. At lust nights session some very curious
allegations made regard to the
manner in which the democratic ballots used on
election day were printed. One leader said that
when he opened some OF his bags he found, instead
