We purchased about ten cases of goods
from parties OF the late Baltimore FIRE. Our
offer on the lot was accepted at once because
1t was spot cash. We laughed at our good
fortune, knowing the card it would give US

five times more value for their dollar tn IN
the goods could be bought regular for. Some
slightly soiled, others slightly smoked, Others
where the flames licked them anl some as

Attorney G eneral Cassidy has filed in the
Dauphin court two bills in equity, one
against all the railroads in the trunk line
pool and one against those in the anthracite
coal pool, in which he demands that they
be declared to be illegal combinations
and that injunctions issue against them.
Mr.. Olmsted, who appears to be the stand

burg, being maintained there to watch
their tax interests, asked the court not to
issue preliminary injunction, owing to
the magnitude of the interests involved.
and the court fixed the twenty-hrst day of
this month as the time for argument and
hearing of depositions in the matter.
Certainly the magnitude of the parties
and of the interests involved in this issue
cannot be exaggerated. 1t is determine,

SENATOR BLAIR, being an old woman
himself, is a very fit advocate of woman
suffrage in the United States Senate. The
New Hampshire legislator said that the dis
tnction between human beings by reason of
sex is physical distinction. The soul is of
no sex. Women are equally interested with
men In all the objects sought to be obtained
by the free expression Of the will OF the peo-
pie. They are the equals of man in many
departments of knowledge and should have
an equal right in political matters. But it
was urged that women did not desire the
privilege. II the right existed at all it was
an individual right and not one belonging TO
a class or to the sex as such. Yet men said
they would vote the suffrage to women when
a majority OF women desired it What would
be said ii it were seriously proposed TO recall
the suffrage from all colored men because a
majority declined, or for any reason failed to
vote? II one or many choose not to claim
the right, it was no argument on which TO de-
prive another of the right In the territories,
or wherever else women had exercised suf
frage, she had elevated man to her level, and
it made the voting precinct as respectable

blies of the devCut

believed will be found hard to excel.
Two men were attacked by the king
Of birds while at work surveying on the open
street One of them, Professor Carr, was
savagely attacked. The big bird caught him
by the leg, threw him down, tore his trousers,
and sinking his talons in the fatty part of his
leg, inflicted serious wound. The bird
then mounted 10 the collar of the unfortunate
man, and seemed determined to bear him
away bodily, but just at this crisis others came
up, and by their united efforts the bird OF
liberty WAS finally conquered and securely
piuIoned, 1t was found that his wings
measured Iect 10 inches from tip to tip and
his talons were over four inches long. To
add further to the blood. .curdling features of
the horrible story II is asserted that the place
where the eagle made the attack was where
the den OF wolves had been found during the
previous week.
