Meanwhile, what a
situation for the sheriff. When Billy
entered, the officer recognized him
in moment-the latter had his back
towards the doorway, and his revol-
yer was in it's sheath. His quick
mind grasped the situation instantly:
he had two courses, namely: either
to make a spring, drawing his weap-
on as best he could, and take his
chances in the melee, or to sit there
quietly, pretend to be an innocent
stranger, draw his pistol slowly and
unseen, and then take "snap shot"
under his arm, yet running the terri

back at any second,-for Billy al
most always shot first and spoke af-
forwards. -- He instantly chose
the latter course. What supreme
nerve he showed, to sit there quietly,
when the first, and then the second
question came, meantime extracting
his revolver very slowly and noise
lessly from the leathern sheath
But Billy's patience is exhausted
quickly; with an oath he raises his
own weapon again, and aims at the
shadows head; but another revolver
aimed under the arm of the half re-
clining figure at the foot of the bed,
is leveled at him second sooner.
The half-breed has raised himself
upon his arm, and is gazing forward
through the gloom, his straining
eyes glittering with excitement.
Bang-bang-the two reports are
almost simultaneous, and the bullets

finds its way to the outlaws heart,
while the latter's weapon, slightly
jerked upward by convulsive mus
cular action that accompanied the
passage of the ball through his body,
sent its bullet into the ceiling. A

JACK THE RIPPER,

X STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT
What Shall We Do |?

Since the English papers brought this unique character before the world speculation has been running wild, the unexpected has been happening, and we only know this invisible monstrosi:y by his actions. When we look about upon American soil and see what the "great trusts" are doing, what the com petitive system is developing, we have sJack the Ripper on gigantic scale. It is cutting prices on every hand, and other things being equal those whose expenses are the least can sell the cheapest. This is an acknowledged fact. The furniture dealers of the country, as we'll as the public at large, are amazed at the growth of the Waterbury Furniture Co, 20 Grand street, accomplishing in SIX YEARS what it takes many firms HALF A CENTURY.
 Here is the way we do it:
 I. The buildings in which we do business belong to the firm, the rent going into our pockets.
 2. Connected as we are with other large firms in Boston and New York, 1t enables us to buy in such vast quanti- ties that the manufacturers pay all freight, saving to us of at least 10 per cent.
 5. Our facilities for handling goods are such that six men can do the work of ten. This is very heavy saving in itself.
 4. Every one in this establishment is a tireless worker. In this way we claim to be able to put our goods on the market at the very least possible price to the customer. Of course we are short of room and cannot show oul goods as we would like to. We ex- pected to have our New Building ur this spring, but we were compelled to wait to make arrangements about land adjoining. OUR TERMS ARE CASH OR CREDIT

 Quilt and Frae Lunch Trust,
 PITTssURG, Pa, July 24.-It is reported that syndicate of English capitalists are making strenuous efforts to secure a con- trolling interest in all of the steel manufas- tories in the loo>Sty and that the syndi- cate's representative is now on the ground sounding the various firms who will be solicited to sell out their plants.
 A reporter interviewed w. A. Singer the senior partner of the wealthy steel firm of Singer, Nimck & Co. Mir. Singer admitted that he had heard of the movement. "A fellow manufacturer asked me if 1 had received any overtures from this syndicate and remarked he had"
 'Have any overtures of the kind been made to you, Mir. Singera"
 Mot directly. However, there has been considerable talk about the move. The syndicate is the self same corporation which has been trying to get hold of a number of American industries and it dppeaES UO uHV0 au lmQ1SNSo CdDlUal.'
 "What Is the object of the concernN
 ''As I understand it is an effort to invest English money, which is lying idle, in American enterprises. Their object Is to merely obtain controlling interNst in Q number of steel concerns of good reputa tion. It they held a majority of stock they could take 1t to Europe and manipulate it with profit, the local owners still retaining working interest in the plants and manag- ing them. They have purchased the large Otis concern of Cleveland, and guess have paid a pretty good price,
 ''I haven't given the matter much thought, but imagine If all the steel firms of the city got what they wan ted for their plants the price would be 7ariable-they would sell.
