all that remains Of his once large fortune
Directly after tho war he came to this

immense stock Of gonds, such nv has not
been seen in this country since, and was
never sccn brfnre His stack consisted Of
the fines, silks. aa,ins. laces, br"ndclolhs and
everything in tho dry goods line on tho
second floor His grocery department on the
first a""r contained everything that man
could want The third Hoor was filled tn the

finest metallic burial cases. 1t is said thai
people would g. to his store by the hundreds
but only to look, nv but very little Of biz
immense stock wna ever sold at least in this
country. The PEOPLE were crude, and had
no use for such fnery After lew months
of business this man was forced to suspend
