A Former West Chester Mans

The Wilmington Republican says;
Although the spring is 20 backward.
there is no doubt that ere many more
days the cold chilling winds will have
passed away and be succeeded hv gentle
breezes and a warm sun. In anticipa.
ton of this, Mullin & Son. the popular
cl0thiers at Sixth and Market streets
have prepared an immense stock IF
clothing, suitable for that season, which
is now open for public inspection.
Much of the clothing has been made
by their own large force of hands under
the supervision and direction 'f the
members of the firm, and for quality
and style is unsurpassed by any in this
city. The material of which it il COM
posed is the best that a be obtained,
while the trimmings are fully equal to
those used In the majority of establish
ments on fine custom work. They also
have q splendid stock of spring over
coats of all kinds and sizes at prices to
suit all, in fact, their entire stock of
spring clothing is larger and better than
any they have had during previous ga
SOILS.
This firm enjoys unequal facilities
for producing fine clothing, and ALWAYS
give their customers the benefit of these
facilities and advantages. by this means
combined with no misrepresentation
for the purpose of effecting sales. they
have built up an immense business that
ia second to M in their line in this
State. Their name is known far and
wide, and every garment sold by them
is N advertisement, which not only
cause the buyer to return, but is the
means of bringing others.
Their custom department is also a
very important part OF their business,
and just ut the present time is well
worth a visit by anyone who is in want
off well-ftting suit of cloths. The stock
of goods in this department is immense,
and the variety sufficient to please even
the most %fastidious. Large tables in
this are piled with all kinds of
clothes suitable for spring wear, and
the facilities for making up goods are
so complete and thorough that a suit
can be furnished in the shortest time.
Mullin & Son give employment to
about n hundred hands, and find
work for them to do all the year, even
in what is known as the dull season.
The fact IS, the reputation of their
goods is so well established that" dull
season" are scarcely known to them.
In the ready-made department the
price, which in every instance is the
at which the garment can be
sold, IS marked in plain figures on ev-
cry article, and from this there is no
This ensures fairness to all
and is in keeping with the course pur-
sued by the firm in all their dealings.

Mr.. Blaine has written another letter
declining to let his name go before
the Republican convention. He says:
"If I should now, by speech or by sill
ence, by commission or omission, per-
nit my name, in any event, to come
before the Convention ! should incur
the reproach of being uncandid with
those who have also been candid with
me. Assuming that the Presidential
nomination could by any possible chance
be offered to me, l could not accept it
without leaving in the minds of thou
sands of these men the impression that
/ had not been free from indirection,
and therefore, / could not accept it at
ALL" This will certainly be conclusive
in deciding his being a candidate.

Fire c0npsny's Concert and
Dance, a Great Success.
The Wausau Band Give Excellent
Satisfaction.
Everybody had a Good Time

The Opera Rink was crowded Tues
day evening to listen to one of the best
Silver Cornet bands in the state, known
as Dana's Cornet band, of Wausau. The
boys belonging to the fire comparatively
organized in this city decided to give
a dance and the Lyons boys, of Centra-
liza, suggested engaging this band to give
a concert and play for the dance. The
proposition was accepted and the band
eng aged.
A large audience-some six-hundred
greeted them when the curtain rose
For one hour and half they entertain
ed their hearers with selections of the
highest order which were always re-
sponded to by hearty applaus of appre-
ton from the audience. The concert
was first-class and everybody was highly
pleased with it.
Nearly everyone present at the con-
cert remained to watch the dance or
partake of a little enjoyment in this
line. The floor was crowded when each
dance was called until the early morn
ing hours when the old folks had re-
turned home for sleep and rest The
dance broke up at half past three
O'Clock. The fire company will net
about $125 out of the receipts.

favorable auspices, with rhetorical
exercises. Every room participating to
the extent of recitations and singing.

lections on "Home" by Alice Carey and
Whittier" especially fine was the

Mat. J. Everson, of Centralia, agent
for the Industrial Mutual Aid Associ-
alton of Milwaukee, desires to state in
explanation of the attack made upon
him in the last issue of the REPORTER
through the Vesper correspondent,
that he did act as their agent and
supposed them to be bonified COM
pany, and would do as they agreed.
He remitted all moneys collected by
him less his commission as agent
believing everything would be perform
ed as stated, and that he sent check
from Henry Sherry & Co.'S. Office at
Vesper, to the general manager at
Milwaukee. He acted perfectly honor
able with the boys and is sorry that the
company have proven unsatisfactory to
them if such is the case.

W. W. Haseltine Shot Dead by John
D. Curran.
The Stevens Point Scandal Leads to q
Second Murder

STEVENS PoINT, Wis, April 3.-The
scandal which two years ago resulted in
the death Of Banker A. B. Morse, at
the hands of Willis w. Haseltine, to-
day eliminated in the murder of Mr..
Haseltine by John D. Curran, whose
name was also associated in the scandal.
Mr.. Haseltine had been out riding this
morning and returned to the livery
stable where he kept his horse about II
A. NJ. He then started to walk to his
Office. He was going down First street
opposite the court house, and had got
as far as the stairway of the Johnson
building when he was fired upon. He
fell down on his face and expired almost
instantly. His body was taken to the
council rooms, where Drs. Phillips,
Meyer, Rood and Gregory made an ex
animation, and found nine buckshot
wounds in the head and the upper part
of the body. A revolver was picked up
close to where Haseltine was lying with
both chambers empty. Whether this is
Haseltine's revolver or not, can't be
told, but the testimony of witnesses
goes to show that Henry Curran fired
three shots from revolver and then
threw the revolver to where Haseltine
was lying, but for what purpose could
not be told
AN EYE WITNESS STORY.
A jury consisting of NJ Clifford, w.
B. Buckingham, Z. M. Copps, George
Stenger, Emmons Burr and J. P. Dorsey
was empanelled and an inquest held
before Justice Stumpf. The first witness
in the hardware store of Krembs &
Bro. He told the following story;
'I was standing in Krembs store
when I heard the report of a gun about
IL O'Clock. | opened the door and
stood in the door way and looked in the
direction of the shooting. | saw Henry
Curran standing on the stairway of the
Curran House; saw Curran walking
north, and heard three more shots in
quick succession. | saw Henry Curran
fire three shots into the snow and then
throw something toward Johnson's
building.
"Immediatly after the shooting [ saw
Henry Curran cross the street and come
back toward Johnson's store. The
missile thrown by Curran went toward
Haseltine's body. do not know who
fired the first two shots. The first two
shots were louder than the last three.
1 did not see anybody beside Mr..
Curran."
1t is reported on pretty good authority
that Mr.. Haseltine was carrying $50, eco
life insurance.
