Offer you a fresh stock, embrac-
ing all of the new fabrics and la
test styles made from Foreign
and Domestic goods at prices so
low that it will not pay you to
patronize the many bogus forced
sales at so cents on the dollar,
which are interded merely to
work off old Shelf WON Stock,
which is dear at any price.
fyou buy Of us you are pro-
tected against imposition, as you
are at liberty to return your pur-
chase II it does not suit you.
Ifyou buy of us you have our
unqualified guarantee that the
garments you select are New.
Fresh Goods made from New Fa
brio for the spring trade of 1884.
If you buy Of us you will have at
least the satisfaction of knowing
that you have not been imposed
upon that the intrinsic value of
the goods is fully equal to the
money you pay for them. Our
aim has always been to sell the
people clothing at five per cent.ad-
vance on the actual cost of manu-
featuring. We are satisfied with
this small profit, because we sell
such immense quantities of cloth
ing that our yearly business al
fords us handsome profit.

Suit was brought before Squire Berto-
lette last evening by Elijah johnson
for $50, alleged to be due him for filing
up some low land ON Buttonwood
street between Lobdell and A, for A.
Lampisky. The latter claimed that the
contract price was but $50, and sub
mitted evidence to show that the work
was not yet completed. A verdict was
rendered in favor of the plaintiff for
$40, but the defendant, who is repre-
sented by Harry Sharpley, Esq, will

Blak e's Sentence.

just before Court adjourned last
evening Sheriff Martin brought Charles
A. Blake in Court, and placed him in
the dock. He was indicted at this term
of Court, and plead not guilty to a
charge of burglary and larceny, in
breaking into and robbing the house of
Joshua L. Pusey on the night of No.
VEN Der 12, 1883.
When he was placed on trial he was
ably defended by Anthony Higgins
and Harry Emmons, Esqs., but the
jury, after being out short time, re-
turned with verdict of not guilty as in
manner and form Indicted, but guilty of
larceny.
The only article taken from Mr..
Pusey's house that could be directly
traced to him was n silk umbrella, and
his friends thought and hoped on this
account that his sentence would be very
light, but they were, however, disap-
pointed, as the Chief Justice said that
he intended to make an example of him
and imposed the full penalty of the law,
sentencing him to pay the costs of prose-
cution, 50 restitution money, be i'm
prisoned three years, and on Saturday
receive 20 lashes.

An Important Pension Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 25.-
Senator Harris introduced in the Sen
ate to-day "a bill of great importance
to old soldiers and their widows. 1t
provides a pension for all soldiers
who served during the Rebellion in
the military or naval service for a
period of six months and were hon
orably discharged, provided they are
now disabled.
The bill proceeds upon the theory
that there arr many soldiers and sail
ors who did not contract disability
during the war of such specific and
well-defined nature as to enable them
to make proof thereof as required. 1t
proposes to grant relief to that class
of soldiers who had not the strength
to bear the burden of war without re-
ceiving hospital treatment, and by
reason of their faithful service, have
since become invalids. The highest
rate of pension granted is S26.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-03-01

eyes and spoke. On being asked if
he believed BOW, he answered that he
did believe in the existence of God,
but not in a hell, when he instantly
relapsed into a state of coma. as be-
fore, remaining so for another six
hours, when he fully and completely
recovered. He now speaks freely and
unreservedIy Of his experiences. and
says that during the last period when
he was 'dead" he was in hell. Among
other things he tells of two parties,
both wild boys. whom he SAW in he'll
tied up together. AS the parents are
approximations and greatly "worked
up" and excite,i, they are nearly
crazy over the affair. and it is safe to
say that if the excitement continues
much longer some will become in.
sane. These meetings commence at
10 O'Clock in the morning, and last.
with short intermissions, till l o'clock
the next morning.
The whole affair is the more re-
markable from the fact that a some
what similar state of affairs exists at
the village of New Richland, in the
northern part of the county, the diff.
ference being that the meetings here
are conducted solely by the world
lings. or, rather by people not be-
longing to7any denomination. Here
all who have been converted profess
to be absolutely without sin and per-
fectly stainless. The men. many of
them grossly ilIiterate and viciously
ignorant, will harangue the audience
far into the night, protesting that
they are commanded by Divine in
f1uence to do so. Many of the women
have genuine frances, falling over in
a sort of epiloptic tit and remaining
apparently unconscious for hours.
While in this condition they are stiff
and rigid and evince no pain on being
roughly handled. 1t is certain that
they would not vince if burned with
a hot iron, as their condition is un-
doubtedly unfeigned.

The Eight-Hour Law Dead.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 21.-The
eigh;-hour law was killed to-day in
the House by vote of fifty-six to
twenty-six on Mr.. Wallace's little
motion to indefinitely postpone its
consideration. Chairman Grove, Of
the labor committee, spoke vigorous.
ly in Its behalf, but, fOrsaken by Mr..
Sword and Others upon whom he re-
lied, the hopeleSsness of his struggle
was soon apparent. Representatives
from the agricultural districts, led by
Seth, supported Mr.. Wallace's mo-
ton. The debate was not long, nor
was there anything new introduced
upon either side.
The vote on the final decision was
as follows; Yeas-Mcssrs. Speaker,

Cincinnati was not chosen as the place
for holding the Democratic National
Convention, but perhaps no one of
them was stronger than an unwilling
ness to come under the influence of
the Enquirer. All decent Democrats
have wholesome contempt for that
sheet and the methods or it's proprie-
tors, and many of them remember to
to their sorrow its course while the
last convention was in session there.
Some of the delegations here from
cities desiring to secure the conven-
tiCn were really representative DEM
ocrats. For instance, there was the
notorious Mike Mcdonald and his
gang, from Chicago. Respectable
Democrats must take great pride in
rejecting that, while John Kelly con-
trolls the party in New York, Nc.
Donald and lot of gamblers from
Chicago represent the Western end
before the National Committee. There
is nothing like tone.
