The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1882-11-03

cut and finish. Many promine mt
ladies throughout the west and south
do their shopping in this manner
with such houses as Lord & Taylor,
and other first class establishments,
and SO successfully that every mail
increases the number.
We have read in our school books
of turks running muck" and con-
sidered it relic of the barbaric past.
To think it would be revived and in
New York city is almost preposter Gus
but yet such is the fact.
On last Tuesday, about half past
four when 18th street, which is lined
with dry good stores and other shops
attractive to the ladies, was crowed
with women, out shopping, and hun
dreds of strolling promenaders
murderer ran westward from Broad
way brandishing in his hand widely
opened painters compass of fully
seven inches in length and stabbing
at every one he met. Ladies ran
screaming across the street and rush
ed headlong into the nearest stores.
The man pursued them and stabbed
many before thrown and secured. 1t
is known that eight ladies, two boys
and one man were stabbed and many
who were wounded went to their
homes without reporting their names
to the police. The cause of all this
was French house and sign painter,
and there is no doubt of his insanity.
The vast majority of the popula-
ton of New York know but little of
the magnitude of the many great
structures that are either "under way"
or are to be constructed in our city.
Ist. For the construction of new
buildings which involve an expendi-
ture of over SIS, 900. Mr. Will
liam H. Vanderbilt proposes to COM
mence at once the erection of two
superb resi- dences for his two daugh-
tiers and it is estimated will expend
about a million dollars in their con.
struction. In the way Of additional
sky scrapes Mr.. Orlando B. Potter
will commence on the site of the old
building so recently destroyed by
fire, bounded by Park Row, Beck
man and Nassau streets the erection
of an eleven story bank and office
building which is to be absolutely
fire proof and will cost 500, 900.
everal costly hotels are also being
erected. The more costly are those
of Hugh Smith and Louis M. Living
stone. The former is erecting an
eight story stone and brick hotel on
the west of Park Avenue covering
the entire block between 4oth and
4Ist streets. 1t is to cost $I,I5o,ooo
and to be called the Murray Hill
Hotel. The latter is about to com
mence the erection Of an eight story
brick hotel at Nos. 8, 10, IL, and ID
West 28th street, to cost 81, 900.
The St. Nicholas Hotel, handsome
ly furnished and complete in all its
appointments, continues to advance in
public estimation. 1t has many adj
vantages and is so easy of access to
elevated trains, cars and omnibusses
to all parts of the city. Unlike many
large hotels in New York, which are
full of regular boarders, the traveller
can always find accommodation a.
the St. Nicholas and never be turned
away, and will appreciate the tasteful
elegance, and home comforts which
make it so agreeable for family and
transient visitors to N. Y.
New York politics is in muddle.
Things are mixed and opinions are as
varied as the colors on Mexican
blanket or of the jockeys at a race
meeting. Everybody differs from
every body else. Candidates are as
plenty as mosquitoes at Sheepshead
Bay and each Office has its particular
swarm. AT this writing the muddle
looks inexplicable. BLUFF.
