BUYING PRIZES

Al q sale of Unclaimed Freight Pack
ages.
Yesterday morning oyer 500 packages o.
unclaimed freight were sold at 1852 Mar
ket street by Auesioueer Halter for the
Adams Express Company. A large crowd
was present and the goods sold rapidly a.
low prices. The sale was very interesting,
as people bought packages the contents OF
which they knew nothing about. In fact
it was sort of prize package sale-some
drew prizes and some did not, and 1t was
quite amusing to observe with what anxiety
some of the purchasers opened their pack
ages and the guying they got from the
crowd when lot OF patent medicine circu-
lsls lot of stale crackers or some other
EQUALLY useless articles were disclosed.
One well known Democrat paid thirty
cents for package, and uton opening it
found lot Of Blame and Logan pictures.
De Immediately opened a stand and
sold them of at q cent each-or
rather attempted to DO 90. 4 Market
street ieweler bought an old dilapidsted
vahse, that looked as If it might have be-
longed to q tramp he paid thirty cents
for It and among other things he found
silver watch inside, although some OF the
boys said be had the watch up his sleeve
when he opened the valise.
Sewing machines, trunks, boxes and in
fact all sorts and sizes Of packages were
disposed of, and while none Of the pur.
ccSsse!s BECAME Ticb in qua iall swoop,
none of them went busted" One young
man bought trunk, and il his friends see
him to-day attired 10 new suit of clothes
i would be unjust to suspect that he caught
il in the trunk Many funny scenes oc.
,urred during the sale, which closed at
about 1890 o'clock,

very good, when the very untsvorable
weather is taken into consideration. Mr.

score. The distance was 200 yards, of

There is still talk OF the reorganization
of the Wheeling Rifemen, but whether it
will materialize or not cannot yet be told
1t is to be hoped, however, that the crack
shots of the old team will polish up their
rifles and once more stand in front OF the
target.

Pleasing Incident.

Two prominent citizsns Of this city, who
during the war were msmbers OF Captain
Carlin's Battery, met an ex-Contederate
veteran on the street yesterday, when one
of them thus accosted him: Hello, Major,
where we're you this day just u years ago.
Toe question was sprung so suddenly that
the Major was at first at loss for reply,
but remembering that it was the 10th OF
May, answered at New Market" And
where were your the first speaker asked
his companion: well, you aud | we're a.
New Market TOO, but if remember right
we run like thunder" This reply called
forth refreshments, over which the I'M
promptu reunion was continued, and many
amusing incidents recalled by the old heros
who though enemies in war are the iirmest
OF friends in peace, and glad that the old
time bitterness is buried with the past.
