THE EDaEMooR AFFAIR.

RuMoR THAT ANOTHER BODY HAS

The name OF the man who was found
frozen to death this morning, near
Ed d-emoor, an account of which Is
published in the first edition, is John
II. Hooper. He Is about "a years of
Of age, and was employed as an ,ngi-
neer, aud not maohinist. He board
ed with Mr.. MeFadden, who speaks
very highly of him, aud says that he
was at one time clerk TO the Register
Of Wills at New Castle, and he was
also somewhat known in musical cir
cles owing To having been member
of st. Paurs Catholic church choir.
He has sister aud grandparents re-
siding in this city.
From the position in which the body
was found, it is thought that he had
accidentally Tell into a ditch and
crawling out became chilled, and laid

JUDGE WOODS UNDER FIRE.

COME.

SOME OPPOSITION MANIF ESTED, BUT
his CONFIRMATION SURE TO
COME.
!, ecial Dispatch TO the Tines.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 2l.-There
was very animated debate in the
Senate this afternoon, III executive
session, over the confirmation of
Judge Woods, nominated to the Su-
preme Court, he having been iavora-
bly, reported by the Judiciary com
mittoe. There were good masy
speeches made, but a considerable
portion of the time was devoted 10
lillbustering. The two Georgia
Senators, Hill and Brown, very
earnestly supported the confirma-
lion, as did Bayard, and, it is reports
ed, Herman. A good many leading
Republicans favored Woods, and il
is not learned that any Of the Re-
publicans opposed his confirmation.
The strongest opposition came from
Louisiana, Jonas, of that State,
being supported by Call, of Florida ;
Vance, OF North Carolina; Eaton,
of Connecticut, and SALISBURY, of
Delaware. The ground of the oppo-
sition was that Woods was a cirpet-
bagger, although Jonas is a carpet
bagger himself. Finally a direct
vote was had on the proposition to
confirm and it was carried by con-
siderable majority. A motion was
then made to reconsider the vote,
and upon this the Senate adjourned,
the Democrats who we're opposed to
the confirmation, it is said, having
left the chamber aud broken d
quorum. There is little doubt that
the motion to reconsider will be de-
teated and Woods confirmation will
stand whenever there is quorum.

about 5000 suits and over

the overcoats are various
enough to constitute a
complete stock of them

be reasonably sure of find
ing among them what will
both suit and fit you.
Some of the very lowest
priced mems suits we make
no among them; $40 reduced
to IS SO, and some of all
grades up to excellent suits
at $20, reduced to $50 and
$27 80 reduced to S25.
A $40 overcoat at $l6 so
is not to be missed on a cold
morning. Even the boys,
whose clothing has been wait
ing for this cold snap will not
object to the taking off OF
three or four dollars from
the cost of suit and overcoat,
Remember this All these
garments were made by oul
people. under our own eye.
and before this reduction

ought to be sold, We couldn't
afford to reduce them, but
