The mammoth building now approach
ing completion, on the corner of Brough-
ton and Barnard streets, is conspicuous
for the reason that one door east of it, on
Broughton street, is the Fashionable
Clothing Emporium of Simon Mitchell.
MitchelPs establishment itself is attract
ing much attention now from the fact that
it has become regular slaughter house"
in the way of reduced prices for Cloth
ing, Hats, Neekwear, Underwear, Hos
iery, Shirts, etc.
MitchelPs stock comprises fine Dress
and Business Suits in getaways, frocks
and sacks; also a nice line of Seersuckers.
The very low prices ruling are not to cork
off Stop shop, counter room or unreasonable
goods, but apply to every article in stock,
and especially to his tailor made and
glove-fitting suits. Any doubt you may
have can be dispelled by visit. In fact,
anything in this store can be bought away
below manufacturer cost.
Mitchell means business. The goods
must be sold if it is necessary to work TOR

A DARK MOON
Professor Virgins Discovery of Sec
ond Luna the Disturbing Element In
His Prophecies.

Professor Virgins Discovery of Sec
ond Luna the Disturbing Element in
His Prophecies.
Professor Virgins, the weather proph-
eft. has always been considered remarka-
BILE for the narrowness Ofhis escapes from
accuracy. The way in which he can
come within hairs breadth OF predic-
ton without hitting it, has caused min
gIed admiration and envy in the breasts
of his admirers; and though the scotfers
have scoffed and the Signal Bureau has
turned I'D its official nose and bumped its
salaried back in contempt and ami
mostly. Virgins has gone on
firing at - and missing - the chance
storms and spells Of weather that come
within prophesying distance. But the most
earnest weather breeder becomes dIssatls-
fed in time if he does not make an Occa-
sional shetland it is now very long since
ANYTHING has been heard from Virgins.
The silence was Portentous-and the other
dav the general public drew long
breath and felt easier in its mind when
the cause of the quietude Of Virgins
was discovered. He announced that he
had been deyOting his time and his talents
10 finding out the unruly factor which
had disturbed his numerous predic-
tiOns. The obstacle was discovered,
and proved to be no less important an OBJ
iect than a dark moon. The announce
ment is made by Virgins that beside the
customary moon, with which we have be-
come familIaT-Or one Side OF it-On ac-
count of its illumination during portion
of each month-besides this commonplace
and mOnotOnOus satellite, we have, ac-
cOrding to Virgins, a second moon, which
is unlike the ordinary moon, in being
never Illuminated.
The mere fact of the earth having two
moons is not in itself surprising. As mat
ters stood it was in minority among the
planets in this particular-Jupiter having
-four moons, Saturn eight, Uranus four,
Neptune certainly one and probably
more, and even little Mars two.
But with regard to ''dark moon" it
appears that there may be something to
be said in its favor. In the first place, it
cannot be eclipsed. In regard to it Wig
gins saws: Though never eclipsable
itself, it goes around eclipsing the sun
and things, and we have been never the
wiser"
The earth is not permitted to speculate
on the resources and practical advantages
offered by Virgins dark MOON" be
cause of the paucity of information
afforded concerning it by Virgins him.
self. And since Virgins has thus pre-
cipitated upon too confding world an
utterly uncalled for and indefensible
s'dark moon,' it remains for Virgins to
adapt it to practical use. AS it
stands Cor rolls) Virgins moon
is incomplete, imperfect, a creation
"of unrelated parts" and unless it
should prove to be hollow and we can
stick a tallOw candle inside of it and make
a gigantic jack-o-lantern, the earth has no
use for it. The proper thing to do is to
return it on Virgins hands as not accord
ing to sample, or send Virgins to explore
| il. and when he can make full report of
| it's advantages and cOnvenIences we will
make him an offer. This is a bad year for
sdark moons" and s'dark horses"

YAMACRAw ROUGH.

Officer Dunham's Set-tO with a Burly
NegrO-His Escape and Recapture.
Among the prisoners before the Mayors
Court Yesterday was Thomas Day, a
negro. arrested on Tuesday night by
Policeman G. T. Durham for fighting in
the store of Henry VOelsch, corner of
BRYAN and Farm streets. The officer
hardly had the man in custody when
number of negroes inter
fered and Day escaped. He
ran in the direction of the canal, pursued
some distarce by the officer, who in turn
was followed by the other negroes,
bent on preventing the rearrest of the flu
gitive. The officer was obliged to use his
club and dispersed the crowd. During
the fight Day secreted himself. Later in
the night the officer learned that
he was likely to be foInd in
the morning under the bluff near
Barnard street, and, acting upon this in-
formation. he went to the locality and
found Day. who resisted arrest and called
on his negro friends to kill the policeman.
Officer Maher arrived on the scene and
the negro was lowed into the bar
racks. The Mayor sentenced him to
nav a fine of $50. and to be
imprisoned thirty days in Jail. Day is a
muscular and impudent-lOOking negro.
1t is probable that some of the abettors
in his escape on Tuesday night VIII be
also arrested and sent up to a similar
lodging.

THE CITY COURT.

Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollars
for Calling a Man a Liar.
The attention of the court yesterday
was occupied in the trial of Islander
suit brought by Joseph NJ. Coleman
against Simon Mitchell, the former alleg-
ing that the latter, on the Sd of April last,
said: s'You are a id liar and thief,
and everybody knows it, and you have
robbed me-" The plaintiff claimed $4,000
damages for the opprobrious language.
The defendant admitted having called the
plaintiff a liar, but denied having en-
ployed other remarks derogatory to him.
The evidence was of such a nature, how
ever. that when the jury came to make a
verdict they awarded the plaintiff $225
damages.
In the case of Henry Solomon & Son
against f. T. Sweeney & Co.. mention 81
which was made in the MORNING NEWS

amendment in the declaration of attach
ment was, after argument, Overruled.
The petit jury were then discharged
until this morning at 10 O'Clock, to which
time the court adjourned.

GOING ron THE STREET HAwKERs

The Market Dealers, Producers and
Green Groeers' Association Moving
Against the Unlicensed Produce
Vendors.
The Market Dealers. Producers and
Green GrOcers' Association is moving
against the unlicensed street hawkers
who interfere with the regular legitimate
business, by hawking their produce on
the streets at prices which the legitimate
dealers cannot afford TO meet. They are
unable TO do it because OF the manner in
which the haWkers secure their wares.
stealing them in many instances, and, II
secured in a lawful manner, they are
sold without license at any
price they are able to obtain, while the
regular dealers are required TO pay
heavy tax on their business They con-
slider the privilege Of allowing street
hawking without a license an unjust dis
elimination against them.
Some time ago committee was ap-
pointed from the association TO advise IN
regard 10 the construction OF a pc
tifion to the CITY COUNCIL, asking
thar the privilege which is now granted
without reserve be abolished and that
street hawkers, if allowed at all, be COM
relied to pay license in accordance with
their business. Inc matter WAS COhslu-
cred by the association, and the report OF
the committee recommending that an
ordinance, framed TO protect their busl-
ness. be submitted to the Council, was
adopted.
The matter has been discussed in the
Council since last September, and various
ordinances have been introduced.
but all have been found defective.
Amendments have been suggested, but no
satisfactory law has yet been enacted.
The present ordinance provides Tor the
collection Of taxes from street hawkers as
well as from established dealers, but IN
the case Of vegetable and fish hawkers,
who secure their produce and wares from
their own farms and gardens, it is not en-
forced. the ordinance applying only to
peddlers who sell wares pur-
chased Of other parties. This IS
understood to be the operation OF the or
dinauce as Il now stands. The Market
Dealers. Producers and Green GrOcers
Association seek to secure the passage OF
an ordinance compelling the collection OF
a regular tax. and further, to secure its
enforcement. 1t also aims to further the
interests Of dealers by putting an end TO
the sale of impure and diseased meat, ana
will prosecute all dealers who attempt
to impose upon the public by
placing il on the market. The Green Gro
GERS and Market Dealers Association
has a large membership, and its int1u-
ence. if directed against the introduction
OF impure meat into the city, Will viz
finally nut a stop to it.

The Benefit Entertainment at ArmOrY
Hall Last Night.
Armory Hall was packed last night.
The benefit entertainment of the Chatham
Artillery centennial fund drew an audi
ence that occupied every seat in the hall
and filled the aisles, so that standing room
only was the condition of admittance.
The programme was selected and COM
prised a variety of features. The open
ing exercise was violin solo by Master
Eddie COnnOr, who acquitted himself IN
a mastery manner and received a hearty
round of applause. Mr.. W. 7. Silva re-
cited a selection, and was followed by
Mr.. J. NJ. Banks in a solo, accompanied
by Miss May Silva. This closed the
musical and Evolutionary part of the pro
gramme. A space was cleared in front
Of the audience, and company
OF twenty Young ladies in handsome
red and white uniforms, with wands,
marched into the hall and performed the
evOIutiOns of the wand drill. The eXer-

performance the company received ire
quent applause. At its close they were
repeatedly applauded. The audience was
determined TO see them again, and after a
few minutes rest the company again ap-
peared in the dumb bell exercise.
This was equally as interesting as the
first performance. AS it was concluded
Capt. Wheaton thanked the audience for
its presence, and the young ladies and
gentlemen who had participated in the
exercises for their interest in behalf Of the
company.
The floor was then cleared and dancing
was the order for the remainder Ofthe even
ing. Refreshments were served by the lady
friends of the company in the hall and
the parlOrs, and the occasion was one OF
much enjoyment. One of the enjoyable
features Of the evening was the music by
the Ludden & Bates Silver Tone Band,
which kindly volunteered its services to
the company. The entertainment was ar
ranged and managed by Capt. Henry l..

For some weeks past DR.. Francls

supposed to be William Henry johnson.
He was EMPLOYED about the premises 10

and had won, to some extent, the conn-
dence OF the family.

Derfect order. A few minutes later IL
was discovered that things were not ex-
actIv as thev seemed. A number OF
pieces of ieweIry were missing from one
Of the sleeping rooms. The ladies then
entered another room where trunk had
been left unlocked, but closed. On open
ing it, however, a purse containing a
sum of money, number OF
valuable rings, one OF tnem
An heirloom in the family for two hundred
wears. and other small but valuable arti-
cIes were gone. 1t hardly seemed posi-
BILE that these treasures, valued between
$500 and $500. could have been taken from
these rooms, which, to all intents and pur-
noses, were found as securely fastened
when the ladies returned home as when
they went out shopping. But the
conclusion was inevitable-they had been
stolen along with William Henry, for he
too was missing. The matter was re-
ported to the police during the afternoon,
whom search was instituted for the negro
and the valuables.
The theory is that the thief entered the
rear room on the first floor by unnooklnS
the blinds from the outside. As the sash
was raised he had no difficulty IN secur-
ing the articles from the trunk, which
was in that room. The inner doors COM
municating with other rooms were not
fastened. hence he easily entered the other
sleeping apartments and appropriated the
ramaindnr of the missing treasures.

manufacturers have been trying to realize
