TRY GOODS FOR SPRING OF
IL 1888,

HAMILTON EASTER g. SONS, of Bal
timore, desire to call the attention of the
readers of this paper TO the advantage which
they can present, as an mducement to parties
to make their purchases from them.
First-They have had an experience of over
80 years in business, in which time, from
small concern they have built up their present
large trade by fair dealing, without misrepre-
senting and without urging any one to buy.
One Price, and that Price marked in plain
Figures on every article.
Next-The great advantage possessed by
them of being themselves Large Importers of
Foreign Goods; an experienced Buyer from
their House visiting the various European
Markets twice year, and making their pur-
chases direct from the manufacturer, thus
saving to our customers the profit made by
an Importer when he sells to the Jobber or
Wholesale House, and also the profit made
by the Wholesale Dealer when he sells to the
Retailer. Whereas, in dealing with us, there
is but one profit between the Manufacturer
and our customers.
We keep on hand a very large and varied
stock, embracing Goods of every class, from
Low-Priced to the most expensive; but no ar
ticle that would be ''dear at any price only
such as we believe will prove of good value
for the price paid.
our various departments lncluue LOW
Priced, Medium and Fine Dress Goods,
Black Silks, Colored Silks, Mourning Goods,
Linen Goods, and all Housekeeping Dry
Goods, Blankets, Quilts, Comforts,
D,Wggets, Mattings, Domestic Cot
ton Goods, and Domestic Fab
RIGS of all kinds
THE WOODEN DEPARTMENT.
Includes Goods for Mems and Boys Wear,
in all the New Styles of Suitings-Cheviots,
Cloths, Cassimeres, and also White and Col
ored Flannels. Hosiery, Gloves and Merino
Underwear in all sizes, for Ladies, Misses,
Boys and Men, of any kind and description
Ladies' and Misses Wraps and Shawls, La
dies Muslin Underwear, Laces, Edgings,
Rufflings, Scarfs, Ribbons, Nets, &c. Cling
hams, Calicoes, Chintzes, Cretonnes, Satins,

Arrest of stewart. johnson and Dorsey.

The theft of the pocketbook of Mr.. Abram
Stoner. of Union Bridge, and the disappear
ance of Bill Stewart, a colored man who was
working for Mr.. Stoner, together with Chas:
Dorsey and another colOred man named
Adams. was noticed last week; and further
that the trio was traced to Baltimore by Con-
stable r. G. Matthews, where they had pur-
chased clothes and watches. Mr.. Matthews
started again on Friday of last week to look
ND the fugitives, going to Baltimore, I ork,
Harrisburg, Altoona, Johnstown, Pittsburg,
AIlegany, Beleville, and then back to Har-
risburg. When he got to Harrisburg the po-
lice authorities had arrested Stewart, Dorsey
and johnson. johnson was taken up on the
street by the police to identify Stewart and
Dorsey, and as soon as he did so, Dorsey told
the authorities that johnson was wanted here
for sheep stealing. Johnson was then put
under arrest At the recent session OF the
grand jury johnson was indicted for sheep
stealing.
Constable Matthews left Harrisburg with
Stewart and johnson at 2.30 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon and arrived here at 7.l5 the
same evening, where his prisoners were safely
landed in jail Deputy Sheriff Shower, who
procured the acquisitions and carried them to
Harrisburg, arrived yesterday evening with
Charles Dorsey.
Constable Matthews speaks IN terms OF
high praise of the police force of Harrisburg,
and thinks it the best managed and most eff
fective he knows of, and his acquaintance of
police and detective systems is quite extended.
With population of thirty thousand Harris
burg has but nineteen policemen, he says,
but they rarely miss a criminal that enters
the city.
Dorsey and Stewart dropped Adams, the
Hagerstown negro, at Wilkesbarre. Mr. Mat
tbews got a trail of him in his travels. From
Wilkesbarre Adams went to Tyrone, but had
left there also. He also knows the where
abouts of Charles Watkins, another negro
from this section, who is charged with being
engaged in cutting affray.
Stewart, when arrested, confessed to the
stealing, and said that he had placed the
pocketbook under cherry three in Messler's
field on the road to Sans Creek, and that
the safe keys were in it This intelligence
was communicated to Mr.. Stoner, and he
made search, but did not find it.

Gen. Beauregard gives it as the result of
his personal observation that the colored
people in the Southern States, instead of in
creasing, are actually on the decline He
does not regard the increase indicated by the
census returns of 1880 compared with those
of 1870 as contradicting this belief, for the
reason that the census of 1870 is known to
have been grossly inaccurate, so far as the
Southern States are concerned, growing out
OF the incompetent census enumerators en-
ployed in that section.
Mace, on his arrival in England with Slade,
issued a challenge in the latter's name to any
British biped to single combat within the
twenty -four feet rope. 1t is now announced
that the gauntlet has been picked up by a
bruiser from Birmingham, and all having a
sanguinary turn are tremendously huttered
over the international duel. The arrange
ments are kept secret, and it seems to be the
determination of all concerned to have the
affair come off, in spite of the law and its
minions.
The net earnings for the past year of the
Clifton cotton factory at Clifton, S. c., in
which several Baltimore firms are stockhold-
ers, were 16 per cent. During the year divi-
dends aggregating 8 per cent. were paid, and
the balance put aside for improvement pur-
poses, including the building of comfortable
homes for the employees.
A deficiency has been discovered in the ac-
counts of L. B. Toomer, colored, superinten-
dent of the carriers delivery in the Savannah,
Ga, postoffice. He was arrested on We'd
nesday on a charge of tampering with the
mails.
Twenty-seven girls of Council Bluffs, by
way of reminding their male friends of remiss-

There is a prejudice in Indiana against
Benjamin Hawkins, because his ideas of pa

TaneytOwn Items.

On Sunday evening, about $50 O clock, we
were visited with the severest thunderstorm
known here for years. Flash after flash of
lightning darted here and there, illuminating
the sky, and clap after clap OF thunder caused
almost one continuous roar for about thirty
minutes. During the storm the lightning
struck the rain spout ofth house occupied by
Mr.. George w. Fox, the agent of the Penn
sylvania Railroad here, near the ground, doing
but little damage. 1t also struck Mr. Amos
Flickingers house, near town, and coming
down the chimney passed to the pipe OF a
stove connected with the chimney, bursting
the stovepipe somewhat but doing no other
damage. There were about ten persons IN
the room at the time, but none were hurt, al
though badly frightened. 1t also struck the
clay mill at Joel X. Bollinger's brick yard.
Mr.. Bollnger and Mr.. Shipley, his son-in-
law, were carrying in brick from the floor to
the shed, to prevent them from being spoiled
by the rain, when the bolt struck the mill and
knocked Mr.. Shipley down. He was only
four steps from the mill. He was unconscious
for the space of ten minutes. His wife, who
was near at the time, was somewhat shocked
by it. The roof of Mr.. William P. Gardner,
who lives above Bridgeport, was moved out OF
place about four inches, and apple and peach
trees were torn out by the roots and fences
were scattered in every direction.
A festival for the benefit of the Trinity
Lutheran Sunday School commenced in the
public school house on Tuesday evening, and
will continue until Saturday evening.

daughter of Mr.. Absalom Smith, of Bridge
port, passed through here on Sunday. to be
inferred at Piney Creek Church. She leaves
a husband and babe seven months old to

Messrs. Eckenrode & Gait have purchased
new hay press, to take the place of the old
one, which has done duty sufficient to take a
rest.
Mr.. Simon Hawn has had a new porch put
to the front of his residence, and is having

Rev. w. Downs, junior minister on the
Patapsco circuit of the NJ. +. Church, met
with an accident on Monday last in the village.
He was driving, and stopped in front OF Har-
ris shop to have the bride repaired. When
the bride was taken from the horse he started
to run, Mr.. Downs holding on by the halter
The horse soon freed himself from the young
parsons hold and ran at break-neck speed
through the village, causing great excitement.
On reaching the NJ. E. parsonage he turned
short into the lot adjoining, where he was
promptly met by the Rev. A. >. Gill and
brought to bay. The buggy was badly dam,
aged. Mr.. Downs was considerably bruised
and his clothes torn.

Mr.. Frank Brown and family are now oc-
cupving their Springfield mansion for the
summer months. The grounds have been
very much improved this spring by the re-
moval of the unsightly board fence, and sub
stitution of wire one. The beautiful lawn is
now free to public gaze. MIR. Brown con-
templates making many more improvements
during the summer and fall. Mr.. H. ). Baker
is also making considerable Improvements on
his farm. 1t is a common thing to see car
Load Of hillad in his name.
Hay harvest will commence next Monday
in earnest, and wheat harvest the week toll
lowing. The grass has improved very much,
and the wheat will be an average crop. Forty
two selfbinders have been delivered at this
point Next week will probably see the last
sale of them for the season.
The great question now is what to do with
the butter. Butter was never so plenty and
cheap as it is low. The quality of Freedom
butter is well known; it is to Baltimore what
the famous Goshen butter was once to New
York. But now it is like the Freedom poll
tician, very oily and hard to handle. The
hucksters only offer fifteen cents per pound.
Some are thinking about bottling it and selling
it for sweet oil.
The summer boarders are expected to ar
rive next week, when all the available space
will be taken, and the father Of the family
will sleep on the kitchen roof.
There was we'll attended strawberry ana
ice cream festival at Springfield Presbyterian
Church on Wednesday night. These festivals
are ALWAYS popular. The mint crop is very
large and a Freedom man is always ready to
furnish mint and sugar.
