A Rule Pertaining to Do

larged.
Stacks Of Overcoats Which
Have Vanished--But
Few Remain to
Tell the Tale.
Concessions that Induce.
It will pay you to attend u over
shoe sale and buy for future 8 The
rule that no article is cheap for which
you haven't any $ may be true
in its application to
DOMESTIC ECONOMY,
but the rule cannot be enlarged. An
article for which you have no pres
cnt use may be cheap, and it may be
prudent for you to buy it, if it be
reasonably certain that you will
need it and be compelled to buy it
in the future. Though you may not
be in urgent need of
OvERsHOEs
at this particular time yet, we re-
peat that it will pay you to buy them
for future use at the prices at which
we are selling them. This sale in
cludes ladies', misses and c%hildren's,
but not mems, and is made with the
view of closing out the entire stock,
and which will not be removed be-
cause we are too much crowded.
OVERCOATS.
Many of you remember the stacks
of overcoats piled nearly ceiling high
which we had but a few weeks ago.
They were bought cheap and marked
at a very
SMALL PROFIT,
and it is, therefore, not surprising
that but comparatively "few remain
to tell the tale" The assortment,
however, is still desirable, and we've
cut the prices, for people who buy
such goods late in the season are
generally Influenced to do so by a
liberal concession in the matter Of
prices. Such concessions we are now
making and they are worthy of the
attention of close buyers.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

PennsyIyania Floods.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 12.-From points
along the Allegheny valley reports say that
yesterdays rain storms were by far the
heaviest known in many years and causing
the most destructive flood since ,,65. At
BroOkville, Pa, waterSpOut burst, and
in less than two hours the creek rose ten
feet, transforming it into a Seething,
fOaming torrent. The rapid rise gave
the mill men no chance whatever to save
their stock. The dams at the North Fork
mills of Bryant a. WainSwright. and Litch
Bros. mills gave way, carrying with them
lumber valued at $4,000. Two bridges were
washed away, many small building demOl-
ished and number of families driven from
their homes and compelled to seek shelter
elsewhere for the night. In Pittsburgh the
rise in the Allegheny last night was very
rapid, and number of coal bargeS were
swept from their moOringS, but caught
by tow boats. The flood at Brook
vile brought down about fifty thou
sand pieces of lumber, and almost
every owner of 4 skiff is busy to-day catch
ing drift wood. The water is now subsiding
and no further damage is anticipated. \

Stanley. When asked To explain tie shrink
age, Stanley confessed that year ago he
was troubled about debt of eight hundred
dollars on his house and thought he could
take that sum from the reserve fund with
out harm to anyone, invest it in grain, real
ize profit, pay off the mortgage on his
place and return the money. But the in
veStment was unfortunate, and to cover the
loss he took more, and SO ON until he had
taken clean 100000. The directors of
the bank met, and after a consultation, held
Stanley prisoner at theahotel in the custody
of a detective. Yesterday another confer

SAD RESULTS OF A SPREE.
Pitisble Death of q Southern Lady Through

the Effects of Her Husbands Crime.
AUGUSTA, GA, June lS.-Mrs. W. j.
Fairchiid, once a beautiful and &C.
complished lady of Savannah, has just died
miserable death in one of Atlanta's haunts
of sin. The story which attaches itself to
this woman is peculiarly sad. Three years
ago she was a happy wife in a cosy home
In Savannah. Her husband, a young, hand
some, educated man, had a lucrative and re-
sponsible position with the Central Railroad
in that city, and possessed the respect and
esteem of all who knew him. About
Christmas of 1881, while on a drunken
spree, he shot a young man who subse-
quently died. Fairchild was arrested,
placed in Jail and tried. The case against
him was stubborn, and it required his house
and everything else he could accumu-
late TO save his neck. His wife gave
everything cheerfully, and her grief
which was manifested during the
trial had great influence on the
Judge and jury The trial resulted
in sentence of five years instead of the
death penalty. The parting between huS-
band and wife when he was taken to the
Penitentiary was deeply affecting. With
the hope of securing mitigation of the
sentence she came TO Atlanta and fell a
victim TO the wileS of well-known charac-
ter in this city. She took the downward
road, took TO drink, and in a few weeks was
confirmed drunkard. This step was followed
by Others, until She found herself utterly
disgraced and sunk TO the lowest depths of
degradation. She died very suddenly, with
out having been sick moment. Her huS-
band was at loves camp, on the Chatta-
hoOchie River, and when Mr.. Lowe heard
of the death of the cOnyict's wife he caused
two guards to bring him to the city. The
man knew nothing of the downfall of his
wife until he found her dead in a house of
sin. His grief was painful to witness, and
as he stood beside the coffin he raved like
mailman. The kindness Of the leSSees for
whom he was working enabled him TO send
the body to Savannah for burial. He has
two children living i'll that city, but it will
be three years before Fairchild can go to
them

WASHINGTON NOTES

THE record Of the Court of Inquiry in the
ease Of General Swain, Judge Advocate
General of the Army, reported the facts as
developed by the evidence, and concluded
as follows: "The court is of the opinion
that while it is not prepared to say that
any specific act developed by the evidence
is actually fraudulent, yet the evidence
does show a series of transactions dis
creditable to any officer of the army" The
Secretary of War laid the report before
the President and it was decided to order a
court martial trial for General Swain.
THE remains of ex-Justice Noah H.
Swayne, of the United States Supreme
Court, arrived at Washington from New

tive Appropriation bill to provide that no
money shall be paid out of the Treasury,
or from any public fund, for printing in the
Congressional Record any speech which
has not been actually spoken or de-
Gvered in either Senate or House.
The Washington Star says: Late dis
closures show that the failure of the bank
ing house of Middleton & Co. was not only
disgraceful, but one of the most disastrous
on record. Property left for safe keeping,
good margins on stock, charity funds, all
the deposits, and in fact everything, had
been swept away and used by this firm
until it is doubtful if it pays a cent or even
mill on the dollar.
