and We'll get finer, if anybody
wants it.
Now in these few figures
we state almost the whole of
what we presume is the most
carefully chosen and :. mpre-
hensise stock in any one store
in the country. $50 broad
statement as that calls for
your remembering that we
need just that. We have the
largest trade in the country
and the most varied. What
should we 90 with 4 surpas-
sable stock?)
We have no objection to
telling how we choose, what
we look for, what We require.
German vclvets from 81 to
the best that is made, and
Lyons from S. to the best
that is wanted. But wherein
does quality reside,
Quality Of silk, closeness
Of pile, back to hold it, black.
The best of silk is not to
be expected in German vel
vets. They are made OF
duller silks and worked-over
silk-wastes as many sorts
and mixtures as makers;
more. Lyons is famous for
quality of silk.
Closeness of pile means
quantity of silk, yielding
solidity, soft resistance to
touch; what you expect Of
velvet. The back is too
plain to more than speak OF.
Black There's where nise
out Of ten arc astray.
The black that is wanted
varies a little around the
happy medium; neither Due
nor jet; between. No. Il
alike, but as near as we can,
Mere color is more than
quality, quantity, purity OF
silk, more than all else,
Color first; then quality
then how will it wearo Or,
to put it another way, how
looks it for coloro for gener
Gus fullncss2 only then how
long will it bang together?
And this leads to a nice
detail of color. We have
German velvets of a rusty
black to match old stufs a
little faded. 20 inch; 81. so
to $500.
Having guarded all tne.l.
points of color, quality, quan.
tity and putting together, we
hav'n't the least hesitation in
believing that we have about
as thoroughly mastered the
black velvets that have come
into the country as we hope
to next year; and that is
saying a great deal

10000 Republican Majority
Newark, N. j., Carried by
1900 Majority
CLEVELAND A LOCAL ISSUE.

The election returns from Ohio and
West Virginia are slow in coming in, and
but few details are given. Sufficient,
however, is known to show that Ohio
still retains its place in the Republican
column, while West Virginia has gone
Democratic by reduced majority. The
estimate is that the Republican majority
in the former state will be fully 5000,
with prospect that several additional
thousands will be added to that number
The vote is the largest ever poled in the
state at an October election, both parties
having used extraordinary efforts to
bring out every voter. There is every III
dication that the Republicans have made,
a gain of several congressman. There
was considerable disorder in Cincinnati,
but there was not as much bloodshed as
had been anticipated. One man was.kill-
ed and quite humber badly hurt. Late
dispatches from Democratic sources claim
West Virginia by about 6,000, though
nothing positive will be known until this
evening.

THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Terrible Accident on an Ohio Rail
road.
THREE PERSONS KILLED AND
MANY OTHERS INJURED.

BATAVIA, o., Oct. 1S-At o'clock last eve
ming, he middle span of the bridge across the
East Fork river, on the Cincinnati Eastern
Narrow Guage railway, gave way as the Man
chester express train was passing over If. The
bridge is 30 feet above the water. The engine,
baggage car and the first coach were hurled in
to the water beneath, while the rear car re-
manned on the sound portion of the bridge.
Forty-five persons were on the train at the
time, snd many had miraculous escapes, sew
eral lesping to the stream below. The follow
ing is list of those injured and killed: En-
gineer Ed Wilbur OF Sardinia, and fireman
Henry Jones of Ma chester, both killed; Sam
uel Carr had his skull fractured, and will die;
Dave Hicks was badly scalded and bad one of
his legs broken, he cannot recover; Ben
Moore was bruised about the head aud shoul-
ders; Thomas Taylor, nose broken and bruised
about the head and shoulders; John N ash,
brakeman, leg sprained; Mary Swallum was
bruised about the shoulders; James Mccoy
was badly cut about the head; Conductor
Charles Durham was slightly injured, and re.
ceived number of other bruises.
The engineer and fireman were both killed
instantly. They leave families. The bridge
was being repaired but was Considered safe, as
several heavily loaded freight trains had
passed over it short time before the accident.
The other passengers aboald the train were
nearly all in the rear car. Had this coach fol-
lowed the first section. the loss of life would
have been appalling. Most of those injured
were section hands.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
MONTE cRIsTo.


There was fair sized sudeuee at the matinee
and goodly house greeted the final performance in
the evening. The production of this drama should
have beeu better patronized and but for the ong
counter attraction elsewhere It's financial success
would have been more hattering.
THE IDEALS.
City Hall was we'll filled Saturday afternoon and
It is safe, to say that finer performance of
Patience has never been given In this city. Miss
Ulmer's Patience treat aud her various NUM-
bers artistically rendered. All the other
characters were finely execut d, and the choruses
were well balanced and thorough.
eIRoFLE GIRoFLA.
Despite the unpleasant weather City Hall was
crowded By an audience that thoroughly enjoyed
many laughable situations were greeted with much
applause. Barnabee's "Bolaro" was especially
humorous and some Of his gags" most conlica1.
The bulk OF the performance rested on Marie Stone
and her mpersonaton OF tie twin sisters clever
while her vocal numbers were delightful. Whit
ney's "Mozourk" was q noteworthy conception, bis
makeup remarkable and his singing grand. Space
torbids details and We can only say the whole per
formance was notable one-the choruses being
particularly effective.

A s2oo 900 Fire ia Rrooklyn. N. v.

New YORK, Oct. 19-Early this morning
fire broke out on the second floor of the four
story brick building Nos. 242 and 244 Plymouth
street, Brooklyn, occupied by the Rice box ana
toy company, and owing to the light and in
flAmmable nature OF the stock it rapidly ex-
tended through the building, which was al
most entirely destroyed. The four story brick
building, Nos. GAG and 24S also caught fire, and
the one No 240. The cause of the fire is un-
known. The buildings were part OF the Ca
rey estate, and the damage on them is estmat-
ed at fully 100000; partially insured; the
loss on the entire stock and fixtures is estimat-
ed at 100000 more.
