Pants from 15c. to $500 a pair. They
must came from sheriff 70 sales or some
body that did not pay for the cloth
which they are made Of; 15c. only and
fast color; you can wash them in soda,
and is not that a surprise? NJ. Meyers
received them from the East. Two
thousand pairs Of children's pants,
which range in prices from 10, 20, 25,
30, 50, 40, 4J, 90, 55 and 60 cents; Two
hundred pairs Of each quality, which
cost really that for making, without
paying for the cloth; they will sell
very fast, as we have lately sold most
to storekeepers when we had such bar
gains, and our customers were late
coming, when cheap concluded TO sell
only two pairs of one size to every
customer. That will not suit store
keepers, Of course; It will though save
cur customers from paying two profits.
We have ell sizes from 4 70 IS years;
we have also extra sizes Of these pants,
which run from Il to Is years, for
bicycle riders. Come and secure some
of these, our great bargains, at H.

Picked Up About the City and Vicinity
Yesterday.
The electric motors started running on
Market street yesterday aud were q great
convenience to the public.
The Panhandle run their trains rs usual
Yesterday, except the one leaving at $50
. m. Passengers were transferred at Wells
burg.
The Ohio River road is running all
trains as usual and expected to have the
bridge at Waverly up some time last
night. The balance of the road is in good
condition.
Manager Waddell, of the Hobbs Glass
Company, deserves credit for his efforts to
keep the works supplied with water. he
chartered K. NJ. Gilleland's pumping ap
parstus and tank wagon, which was KEEP,
busily employed all night and part of yes
terday morning in hauling water from the
river to the works. At eleven O'Clock
water was secured from the main.
Supt Riddle got the six-inch main com
pleted across the Market street bridge yes
terday morning, and the water was turned
in. 1t gives the South Side people pretty
fair supply, which will keep them from
thirsting until another main can be laid
across the bridge. A telegram was re-
ceived yesterday ahat the ten.iuch pipe
telegrsphed for would be here either Fri
day or Saturday, and Snpt Riddle expects
to have the ten-inch main down by Mon
day next. The twenty-inch pipe will moi
be here for about two weeks.

The Damage at Mannington-A Man

A gentleman who came in on the first

ningtOn are in terrible state.
AT Warrington" said he, I'VE were
caught at the hotel and were compelled to
remain in the second story Of the building
all night and until the waters fell and we
had no dove to send out, either. The
whole town was under seven feet Of water,
which is about 26 inches lighter than any
other water known in the history Of the
place. There wasn't store in the town
that didn't have water over its counters
and the loss was pretty severe. Some peo'
pie were compelled to leave their houses
entirely and 90 up on the hills, while all
the horses and cattle had to be
driven mp. Several houses were washed
away or turned over and the occupants
left homeless. picked up some few losses
that will give you some idea of the damage
to the town. T. J. & F. j. Koon lost
500 in groceries; Snodgrass Bros, In gro
ceries and cross ties, $3.50; Hunt q Co ,
s., 500; L. G.. Robinson, about 800; Ham
ilton & Cross, $500 TO 81 900; w. p. Petit,
of Littleton, $500, and 30 on, these only
being few that / ran across. The crops
between Wheeling and Cameron are dam
aged terribly, and you can hardly see a
cornfeld standing between the two points.
A small place called Metz was also under
water, and the damage there has been con-
siderable. In fact, most of the low lying
places between here and Cameron have
caught it."

About NsioTsville the wreck is represented
as being complete. Mr. Alley, Mr. Hnch,
and other farmers in that vicinity have
hardly fence left along the
creek for miles. Two houses passed
Harch's during the night of the big rain,
coming from on up the main creek IN
Pennsylvania bat whose domiciles they
were, and whether the inmates got ont
all right or not, ia unknown. Ii was
from mp beyond this neighborhood that
the furniture, chairs. bureaus, beds, ETC.,
came. Luth's mill, about q mile ABOVE
Vols, is a wreck, aud at Atkinson's mill,
about mile further, the foundation Is
undermined, and the engine, etc, were
all under water, and more or less dam
aged. Crows creek, which comes in
about Msjorsville, ran out fro m the direc-
ton of Ryerson's Station in terrible
manner, and the farms along its bank are
ruined for this season, at least. All along
the western edge of Greene county the rain
seems to have been more violent than in
the vicinity of this city, and it was from
out that way that the great volume OF
water came which kept the creek up 90
long.
Altogether, many thousands Of acres OF
bottom land along the creek was sub
merged, in many instances fields being
washed badly and in others covered with
sand, mud and stones The farmers will
not have much corn in that section this
winter.
