GAGE GOES UP.
A Sudden Collapse Which Catches
the Customers UnawareS.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-A. S. Gage q Co.
wholesale milliners, to-day confessed Judg-
ment in favor of the First National bank Tor
S97, 900. The firm made an assignment
this morning. Liabilities are estimated at
S750,0O0 and assets at S65O,OOO.
When the assignee took charge this
morning tn store was crowded with lady
customers, and there was some excitement
among them when the swinging door was
double locked, and they were penned in.
The clerks were ordered TO sell no more
goods, and the customers were instructed TO
pass out at the rear entrance. which
thew did, after while, being followed by
most of the employees to whom the news of
the failure had been shock of the
MOST STARTLING NATURE.
By 1890 p. m. only the members of the
firm. the confidential clerks, the assignee
and the deputy sheriff remained in the
store. Nearly 800 customers were detained
in the store for nearly two hours
owing to the desire of the
assignee to prevent any representative OF
the sheriff from obtaining an entrance to
the building and levying on the stock
ON BEHALF OF THE BANK.
Deputy Sheriff NickersOn, with thre'
assistants, took possession of the establish
ment at 2 %. m. in behalf of the First Ma
tianal bank, III. b. Claim & Co., and othe
judgment creditors. Judge Pe5dergas
was called upon this afternoon to adjudi
cate between the contesting claimants, ant
decided that
THE SHERIFF HAD NO RIGHT
to remove any goods from the premises
He ordered matters to remain stdtu quo
and is considering a petition OF th'
firm for the assignee to contlnu
| the business, a suspension of which woul'
involve a loss of s., 600 day. The as
signee has been directed to give bonds il
500, 1000. The firm ascribes the necessit
for its closing down to the haste displaye
by the bank people. They expressed tn
view this evening that they would proba
bly, be able TO resume tomorrow.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Duty of Democrats.

The following ringing editorial is
from the pen of Capt. Cam. Thomp-
son, of the Huntington IdcertiSer, a
true-blue Democrat, and one who has
experienced defeat at i time when he
and his friends had every reason to
believe that success would be attained.
Like true soldier, however, he has
never faltercd in his devotion to his
party, and we hope yet to see him
honored for his faithful and earnest
work in its behalf:
1t is not only the duty, but it
should be the pleasure of every true
Democrat to work heartily for the
principles of the party and to protect
it 81 from all heresy and schism. y
There should be an earnest effort on
the part of every Democrat to shut
off and frOwn upon any attempt to
disrupt the organization. The motto
of the Democratic party is that of the
Constitution itself. " In unity is
strength While we have no fears
as W IlIc ICSulG VI lilS ClSSliOhS w bS
held this fall, we desire to see uni
ted Democracy, marching . as an ar
my with Banners" and gaining n vic
tory so complete that Republicans
will cease to hope for success in West
Virginia for years to come. In the
conventions to be held moderation
and fair dealing ought to prevail, and
the voice of the minority allowed TO
be heard, to the end that harmony
may be established and the party
lines held intact. The nominees of a
right ought to be supported without
dissent. We have good reason to be-
lieve that disappointed candidates
will accept their defeat gracefully,
and step into the ranks as veteran
soldiers would when patriotism calls
them to their country's service
These suggestions are thrown out at
this time in order to impress upon
Democrats the duty they owe to their
party, and the danger of lukewarm-
ness or utilization with anything that
will tend to impair the party organ
iZation.

PoETIcAL.
An Invitation.
BY ANNIE FIELDS.

When in the house the day is warm.
And dogs lie stretched before the door,
Come out to my neglected farm,
And sit upon the grassy floor.
Under the apple-trees' green roof,
Laced with the yellow light of morn,
Share natures joy without reprOof.
Thou man who art to trouble born!
Alas. It's said for price of gold
The axe shall hew these leaGy towers;
The spade shall trample in the mould
This fragrant grass, these dewy flowers ;
And when this pleasure-hOuse is waste,
a mansion built for earthly care,
For waiting days and tiresome haste,
Shall lift stately front in air.
Then come. before the day declines,
And hear the bees among the 6Oughs;
See where the early moon eutwines
Her crescent in my bloOmy house.
Perhaps before the spade shall wound
This turf. to plant the cares of earth,
\ smaller plot of turf found
More green, TO tell our noblcr birth.
Then hasten ere the day shall die.
And lay thy heart to summers bliss,
And learn, whatever joys may fly.
To know the PermanenCc of this.

How to Quench Thirst.

A N0rthside physician states that
ice water does not quench thirst but
increases it. II remember u little
story" said he, which l think
might do much good If published dur
ing this hot weather, that l heard
from an old sailor. He said that he
and six shipwrcckcd companions lived
four days on three pints Of water and
were not bit thirsty. When l asked
him to explain, lie said that instead
of guIping the water down, they each
took teaspoonful and gurgled it
well in their mouths. If any one will
try the experiment, no matter how
thirsty he is, by thoroughly rinsing
his mouth with not over n tablespoon
full of water, he will find it will quench
his thirst as cffectuaIly as n quart of
water hastily swallowed, and will not
hurt him any. l believe that fully
one-third of the deaths during tho
heated season are, If the truth was
known. directly or indirectly due to
heavy drinking Of ice water"

Hooking a Broken Submarine
Gable.

The ends of broken submarine tel
egraph cables are picked up with an
instrument called n grapnell iron.-
1t is 4 stout bar of iron about two
feet long, with five prongs or hooks
about six inches long at one end and
swivel at the other. A rope long
enough to lower this grapnel iron to
the bottom of the ocean is attached 10
the swivel, and the iron is then
dragged along on the bottom by a
steamer, which steers directly across
the place where the broken cable lies,
and two or three miles, as near as
may be, from the broken end. By
means of two wires, which run down
the rope and a simple device ON the
grapnel iron. an electric circuit is
completed whenever the hook catches
on anything and bell on board the
ship begins to ring, and continues to
do so until the strain on the hook is
relieved. If the hook should catch
on rock the strain on a dynamo me
ter attached to the drag-rope suddenly
increases, and the strain when the
cable is hooked gradually increases.
A ship may have to steam across the
line of q cable many times before
success is attained. When the cable
is hooked the end is brought on board
the ship and dispatch sent to the
Office on shore to test that part of the
cable. The end is then buoyed and
sent adrift until the other end in Sc
sured. When this is done a new
piece of cable is spIiced in between
the two ends and after a thorough
testing the whole is lowered over
board. d.-Ne11 York Sun.

A gentleman who is intimate with
W. II. II. Flick, of MartiHsburg, told
the NeU Dominion, the other day, that
if VIM. l.. Wilson should he renom-
mated by the Democrats at keyser he
(Flick) could not be persuaded to ac-
cept the Republican nomination for
Congress. Our informant has heard
Mr. Flick say that no Republican in
the district could beat Mr.. Wilson.
If Mr.. Wilson should not be re-nOm-
mated Mr.. Flick would be willing to
accept the Republican nomination,
and make the fight against any other
Democrat in the district. but he is
very free to say that no Republican
can beat Mr.. Wilson.

A Brave Man Meets His Deatl
Attempting to Save a Boys Life
He Loses His Cwn-Tne Boy
Also Killed.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Dec. IT,
New Jersey furnishes another railway
horror to-day, in which two lives were
sacrificed through the negligence of an
employe. The Cincinnati express which
was half an hour behind time, while
running at the rate of forty miles an
hour through New Brunswick at 6 o.
clock Friday morning, struck a wagon
driven by Terrence Hickey, IA years
old, at the George street crossing of
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad. Moses Ry-
no, aged 60, saw the danger and went
to the boys assistance, but was too
late to save him.
The train rushed round the curve,
struck Ryno and threw HIM off the en-
bankment. instantly killing him. 1t
then crashed into the wagon. part OF
which was deposited in front OF the
ladies' waiting-room at the depot. The
boy was found dead, wrapped III a
blanket, firmly fastened On the cow
catcher. His skull was fractured, and
brains were oozing from the wound.
Ryno was the father of large family.
He was formerly policeman. The
gateman at the crossing was not on
duty, and to this fact the double trag-
edy is due.
