J long time since I dropped into your sane
how is business, anyway, old friend ?"
"With me, sir, tits splendid. In my Millinery
Department, we have had more than we could
possibly do-working Utmost every night until
10 and - o'clock, and then could not possibly
supply the demand. I know of 5 Hats in one
day that we lost the sale of, just because we could
not possibly trim them, and there were many
others that I did not notice. We extend thanks
to many friends who bought Hats and left them
to take their turn-some waiting three weeks to
have them trimmed at our House. We will be
compelled, if trade keeps on increasing, to have
two trimmers.''
"Well, sir, that is just what I have been hear
ing all over this county. Every section says you

25 or 80 dresses waiting in her department., and
it is running every day and part of the night.
This will give you an idea of the enormous
growth of her business in the past few years.
Well, Old Chap, you certainly ought to be able
to smile all the time, with such a business as
that. To say the least, it is very encouraging,
and 1 know from what see and hear in travel

Ruraick Pounded Hard.

The ball game at Minneapolis yesterday
between Minneapolis and Eau Claire was
quite unusual in all essential features. 1t
was.a genuine slugging game on the part
of Minneapolis, and fine fielding game by
the visitors. The fielding of Minneapolis
was loose, and the first base playing of
Faatz was wretched. Rhue did poorly at
short, and it is suggested by those who
have watched the work of the club that
Rhue can only do himself justice on first
base, and should be stationed nowhere
else. He was needed badly yesterday.
Stockweu caught a very poor game for the
visitors. 1t was not difficult to steal bases
and Shafer, Murphy, Crooks and Sowders
availed themselves of the opportunity, fire.
quently stealing third base. Burdick's de-
livery in the first half of the game puzzled
the Flour City boys, but after they did find
him they knocked the cover off the ball, fig
uratively speaking. Following is the score:

A Fatal Collision.

WOOD HAVEN, L. L, Aug. IA coils
ion occurred early this morning on the At
lantic division of the Long Island railway
in this village, in which one life was lost
and several men severely injured. The
locomotive of a freight train had been run
on siding for the purpose of hauling out
two empty fiat cars. Conductor George
Nixon OF the freight train held open the
switch and neglected to close it, so that
when wild construction train came thun-
dering along at the rate of twenty miles an
hour it ran through the open switch, coIld-
ing with the locomotive standing on the
side track and driving it and two cars some
800 feet up the yard and smashing the cars
against the walls of one of the buildings.
George Halford, the brakeman on the freight
train who was coupling the cars to the en-
CINE was crushed to death. Wilshuson
and Fireman Seward of the freight loco
motive both received serious injuries.

Grounds OH Which the Opposing

ionaI Fight.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Aug. livery few con-
gressmen or senators dropped into New
York at the close of the session. 1t had
been so prolonged that the old custom of
coming to New York for a ''hurrah" was
generally suspended. The representatives
literally skipped through the city. stopping
only between trains. 1t has not been pos
sible to do more than catch the general drift
of things from these flying statesmen. In
short chats that | have had with leading
Republicans. like Congressman Reid. His
cock, Rice, Dingley and Senators Miller.
Hoar, Frye and Blair, l have gained the
impression that
THE REPUBLICANS ARE INDIFFERENT
to the capture of the next house. They re-
gard it as among the possibilities that the
changing public sentiment of the country
may give the Republicans majority in that
body, but as matter of politics they are
not at al! anxious for it, The origination
of the legislation resting ON the Democratic
shoulders for another two years would he
more satisfactory to the Republican leaders
than to have that burden on themselves.
The campaign in the various congress
sjonal districts this fall are to fought with a
view of making capital for the presidential
election. This is true in both parties The
action of congress itself has been shaped
more with reference to the effect of the
election in 1888 than to the needs of the
