Most of the Wires Down.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The fierce
windstorm which struck Washington
last Saturday night and which has
continued uninterrupted since that
time, shows no signs Of abatement.
The day has been cloudless, but the
force and tierceness Of the wind kept
indoors all except those who were
compelled to brave it. The work done
yesterday in the way of repairing the
telegraph wires leading to the city
and clearing the distractions from
the railroad tracks, was to a large
extent undone by the wind of last
night and to-day. The force of linemen
between Philadelphia and Washington
removed from the railway tracks
seven hundred poles. Communica-
ton between this city and New York
seems to be hopeless for the present
at least, and there appears to be no
chance OF re-establishing it as long as
the weather continues SO severe. Tel
egraph men state that the wreck of
the lines is the worst they ever knew.
The railroad situation is practically
unchanged since yesterday.
WELCOME CARS.
Three trains arrived tonight fir. m
Philadelphia, after long and hard
trip. No trains have arrived from
New York since the one which cane
in yesterday. At the Signal Office it
is said that the present storm is I'M
precedented since the origin OF the
Signal Service. The temperature to-
day has been lower than ever known
at this season of the year.

 Boots and Shoes Bought Here

 reporter asked to bs shown g air of but ton gaiters, which the proprietor would agree to sole and heel free after the first sole was worn out.
 'I will repair for nothing any boot or shoe that sell, said the shoemaker.
 "But where does the profit come ina"
 s'Just as it comes to the saloon keeper who furnishes his patrons with free lunch-in fact, got the idea from saloon keeper. People are always on the lookout for 'snaps. If you can make them believe that they are getting something for nothing, you are all right know Bowery tailor who, by guar anteeing to keep all clothing made by him in repair for one year, has increased his sales 000 per cent. There is also wall paper dealer in Brooklyn who sells wall paper at price which includes the hanging. For instance, if you buy one or more double rolls of paper from him he will send 8 man to your house to put paser up. See the business done by that theatrical manager who gave away deeds to California building lots with every reserved seats ticket The souvenirs presented by our city managers is only another scheme for making people think that they are getting something for nothing. By agreeing to re- eole old shoes bought of me merely divide my profits with my customers, but any loss sustained by this division is more than made good by the increased volume of business 1 done."
 t'Do you make any reduction in price if 8 customer valves all claims to the repairs:" UHaraly I have only one price-repAirs or no repairs. Yes, that is good shoe. Thank you-when the heel or soles become worn, come in and see me and I'll fix them up for you free"

He had a young woman who was also stylishly dressed with him. The ponies were bays, fourteen hands high and were hitched to side bar top carriage. The harness was quite con- spicuous and the rig throughout YVES one that would attract attention anywhere.

He found that the couple the day before had been at Savin Rock and also at the east shore where they appeared to be in toxioated. He also found ont that the man was not Jim Dustin.

 Thomas T. Wilson, prominent citizen of Bristol, has been obliged to leave town hesti- ly and without bidding his friends good bye. The cause of his departure ;s the talk of the village. Several months ago Wi19on, who is proficient musicien, began giving music lessons to MIs. Johnson, the wife of a Swede, who is janitor of the school house in dist1iet No. 3. The intimacy between the two be- came of such soe7dalous nature that the Rev. A. H. Wyatt, pastor of the Methodist church, and MT. John H. Sessions, one of the trustees of the church, called upon Will son and advised him to leave town in order to avoid 8 church scandal. The latter indig- nantly denied the charges brought against him. When, however, Mrs. Johnson con- fessed to her husband that they were true, Wilson wes compelled to admit that be had kissed and hugged Mrs. Johnson, but still maintained that he we3 innocent of the graver accusation. At meeting of the Meth odist church Tuesday evening last Wilson wes subjected to the severance of his connec- tion with the church, and Mrs. Johnson wes compelled to suffer the same humiliation In addition to this disgrace Wilson has been dis charged fIom the employ of Sessions & Sons, in whose factory he held an important posi- tiOn as a contractor
