Having just received 10
very fine Overcoats from three
Of the leading Merchant Tail
ors in New York. These goods
have been accumulating during
the fall and we have purchased
the entire lot at very low fig
ures, and therefore will be able
to sell them less than you will
be able to buy cheap ready
made goods for. They consist
of light and dark Meltons,
Cheviots and Worsted, light
and heavy weights; some are
lined with serge, some with
silk, some with long rolls
and silk facings; in fact they
are the finest lot of overcoats
that we have yet offered for
sale, and the prices will be
lower by so per cent. than
they could be bought for in
any respectable establishment.
1t will pay you to buy one and
keep it until next winter, for
you may not get such a chance
again. We also expect during
the week a few very fine suits
and pants. Some Of these
goods are very fine. 1t will
pay you for your trouble to
call and examine them.
Don't forget-these goods
will be sold at a great sacrifice,
especially the Overcoats, for
we must commence to make
room for our spring stock.

The province Of a newspaper is to record

MIST AND FOG.
Another Unpleasant Saturday with More
Isain and Mist


One of the very heaviest fogs that ever
visited Wilmington prevailed this morning.
and at o'clock it was almost impossible ~
see across the streets Drivers Of horses
proceeded carefully aud even persons on the
sidewalks were Obliged to make haste
slowly. The air was close anu oppressive
and filled with mist. In an hour or two the
log lifted somewhat, and at II O'Clock
when rain acpncueed falling, the Iher-
mometer stood at 81 degrees. The wind
was west at daylight, but kept shift
Ing from south to north ali morn
ing. At noon it was directly
west, with indications of clearing weather
The market people, both buyers and sellers
expressed themselves dsgusted and longed
for clear Saturday, not one Of which has
been youchsaied this year. Last week was
the nearest approach to It, but that day
wound up in snow storm and torrents of
slush.
The fog at New Castle this morning was
thick enough to pack IN bales and came
from the river in deust clouds, the air being
warm and murky. Navigation on the river
was difficult and the railroad trains were
run cautiously.

Does Lightning Strike the Pinei

1t has been often said by the so-called
wise old ''Say Sos In this locality that
the lightning 1seOer strikes pine tree;
but the fact was very conclusive1y de-
monstrated to the contrary to-day at
this place-Mr. James Fenwick's. Mr..
Fenwick's place is the one adjoining
that of Admiral Lees. Just after one
o'clock p. M, the storm passed directly
over Mr.. F. house from the northeast.
and soon after vivid flash of lightning
came, which struck two pine trees only
ten or twelve feet from his house. 4
part of he electricity passed down the
trees into the ground, tearing off great
strips OF bark and cutting a groove into
the trees for some distance Just before
it passed off into the ground. The rest
of it followed a wire clothes-line at
tached to one of the trees to the other
end of the wire and then passed down a
cedar post to which the wire was at
tached into the ground 1t split the
post the whole length and broke of
large pieces from it. 1t was a yery
narrow escape for the house, for If the
cloud had discharged moment sooner
it would certainly have hit the house
and perhaps have done great deal of
damage. There are quite a number of
washington people spending the sum-
mer here, and al who were at the house
were very much alarmed, and also the
animals. The horses in the stable near
tried to break away and run, the flash
was so vivid and the report so loud
