THE CONVICTION OF CHIEF CLERK LAWRENCE,
The Philadelphia Times to-day says: Walter
S. Fries. formerly clerk in the pension Office
in this city, was yesterday put upon trial before
Judge Butler in the United States district court
charged with having made false papers in con-
nectiOn with a number OF pension claims
From the evidence 1t appeared that while
Thomas Lawrence held the position of chief
clerk in the pension Office few months ago
certain frauds were unearthed, resulting In the
trial and conviction Of Lawrence, and ne is.
now serving out y four years sentence In the
Eastern penitentiary. 1t appeared at the
mothers pensions for the loss Of their
sons in the rebellion, had died during
the years OF 1879, 1880 and 1881, and that
other ladies, entitled TO pensions for
the loss OF their husbands during the war, had
remarked, and that in each case the Pension
Office had been notified, the pension certificate
delivered up and no further demand made; but
upon an investigate n IL was found that the
money was still being paid out on these claims,
and the result was the conviction Of Lawrence
and the Indictment OF the present defendant.
For the government ii was yesterday con-
tended that Fries, while temporarily acting as
oath clerk, had certified to the signatures Of
witnesses on the vouchers, using fictitious
names and assisting to defraud the govern
ment. For the defense IL was urged that Fries
had only been employed In the office At times
when there was great rush; that he had COM
mitted no Intentional wrong; had only done
what Chief Clerk Lawrence Instructed him to
do, and had not profited by any fraud. The
trial will be resumed this morning.

THANKSGIVING DAY AT HAND.
Scenes In the City Mark ets.
THE HOLIDAY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PRO
DUCTS OF THE FARM, ETC.

1t Is not necessary to read the Presidents
proclamation or to consult the calendar TO
know that Thanksgiving day is near at hand.
A visit to the markets would convince the
most casual observer that something unusual
was in the air. There Is a sort of holiday atmos-
phere about the market which gives additional
attractiveness TO the piles OF turkeys and chick.
ems, the pyramids OF red-cheeked apples, and
the rows of fresh looking, crisp celery. Perhaps
everything looks as inviting and toothsome on
other market days AZ IL does on holiday occa-
sions, but 1t does not seem Even the mar
ket people seem to be more smiling, and have
brisk, CHEEKY manner which is part and parcel
OF the general holiday feeling. Everybody is
IL sn.,;, anu ,me o 30
ket baskests ever get filled. But they do. The
market men disappear behind
THE PILES OF TURKEYS AND CHICKENS
which tower high up on their stalls and then
suddenly reappear. bringing to the surface
from some mysterious depth the latest and
tenderest Of turkeys. When the buyer reaches
this latter conclusion the most momeutous
question OF the occasion has been settled, as the
selection of the celery and the other vegetables
Is comparatively easy, ii only You can gain the
attention Of the market men. Everything is
the very best, for who ever heard OF there being
! any inferior article in the market during
| Thanksgiving week. You reach this conclu-
s'on You nave n mao no practical experience as as
the people AS they leave the market. There is
nodscontent or Ill feeling. Even the buyers
over the attractive display with rather anxious
faces, finally succeed in getting as much for
their money as they had expected and are hap

THEIR THANKSGIVING DINNER
is placed beyond the range of painful doubts.

Who order two. perhaps three turkeys, and give

While nearly every one observes the time

factor in u Thanksgiving dinner, yet the nIar-
kets show that the other elements which con-
stitute good dinner are provided In great
| abundance. The game stands are well stocked
with DUCKS, birds. &C.. and those who Gu
aifbrd these iuNuries have great variety from
which Ia make their selections. The prices are

there Will be no excuse on that ground. at least,
