Cor. Third and Broad Streets.

To be successful in business requires
careful management, economy in ex-
penses and proper judgment in buying.
In some goods it is prudent to buy in
large quantities, in others quite the
reverse. Butter, especially, should be
bought as needed, so as to secure it as
fresh as possible.
We have been selling for some time
the famous "Star" Creamery Prints.
This butter is from one of the best
creameries in Chester County. comes in
fresh three times each week, and we
challenge its equal at any price. We
also have
Genuine Creamery Butter at 32c.
Dairy =" 27c.
We are enabled to sell on a small
margin by buying carefully, paying
promptly and managing with economy.

Railway Matters.

The car mileage of the Atchison; To-
peka s. Santa Fe railroad for the last
year was upward Ct 100000. This is
equivalent to over 5000 times around
the earth, or ten times around for every
day in the year.
1. Is estimated that the Santa Fe COM
panV carries about 1900 passengers out
of Kansas City, west, every day. Most
of them are emlgrants and they stop in
Kansas. A traveller said yesterday that
they begin to leave the road at Newton
and by the time the west line of the state
is reached, there are very few passen-
gers left on the trains.
Las Vegas Optic: It is automatically
reported that the Atchison, Topeka 3
Santa Fe Railroad company Is about to
form companies and establish CONNER
cial telegraph system in the states OF
Missouri, Kansas. Colorado, Texas and
the territories of New Mexico and Ari.
IONA. The main Office Is to be organized
under the laws of the state of Colorado
on account of the numerous advantages
privileges and facilities for transacting 6
telegraph business which the laws o.
that state afford, and which could not b;
enjoyed by such Corporation organic
ing under the laws of any of the othe
states or territories named. It is proba
BILE that active measures will be takel
soon in the matter, and that the SAINT,
Fe company will eventually obtain
monopoly of the telegraph business il
the southwest. The directors Of the ney
enterprise will probably be Santa F
officers and stockholders. and the busi
ness OF the concern will probably b
transacted By the present officers Of tn

Lively Runaway.

April Sd, as w. b. and E. E.
Wheeler were driving down Constitu-
ton street horse hItched to a buggy
passed them near Eighth avenue. This
caused the Wheeler team to start and
run, and they were soon tearing down
the street in mad style, although both of
the occupants of the buggy had hold of
the lines. At Sixth Avenue
as the horses made leap over the high
crossing on the north side, E. E. was
thrown out and the buggy passed over
him. He was badly stunned and when
he first attempted to rise fell back to the
ground as though seriously hurt. The
writer and several other parties
who witnessed the runa-
way, went to his assistance and after a
few moments he was able to stand, and
a carriage being ordered for him by
Jack Glchirst, who CHANGED to come
along, he managed to get into the con-
veyance without aid, and ordered the
driver to follow the course the flying
team had taken. It was
found that Mr. w. Il. Wheeler had held
onto the lines and finally succeeded In
checking the horses up by the time they
had reached Randolph's addition.
Mr. E. E. Wheeler fell on his head
and was pretty badly hurt, though no
limbs were broken. One of the run.
away animals was a colt, which had
only been driven q few times, and this
accounts tor the accident.
