THE OUTER MAN.

The fall and winter patterns for suit.
ings are of the most subdued character.
The only change in cuffs is in the re-
versible species, and that occurs when
they are turned around.
A very handsome glove for full dress
occasions is Of delicate pearl shade.
with broad white stitching on the back.
The two extremes of neckwear are the
De Joinville, which is the badge of the
true swell, and the catch and buckle
lawn dress bow, which distinctly indi-
Gates the cad.
The two and half inch four-in-hands
will, for the popular price, catch the
favor OF the multitude, but the three
inch goods and wide Ascots will be in
larger demand than heretofore.
A very chaste and striking design in a
scarf pin is effected by surrounding a
coral ball less than the size of pea
with circlet of diamonds. 1t is equally
effective in black or white scarf.
There is limited showing of wild and
weird stripes and plaids in trouserings,
but the one-eighth inch herrinRbone
stripe in distingue and quiet color COM
binations will meet with the approval of
the best dressed men of the fashionable
world.
The newest Office OF the suspenders
has lately been discovered by an observ-
ing and practical swell. Strangely it is
the literal suspending of the trousers
from the closet nail while not in use.
The depending weight, it is contended,
does as much to keep the bag out of the
KNEE as the strong arm welded iron Of
the presser.
That there will be number of white
vests worn during the cold weather is
evidenced by the showing of samples of
special winter textures of linen and cot
ton mixed, and woven as heavy and as
firm as melton CLOTH The material is
washable and when made up is rich and
elegant to degree calculated to win in
dorsement from men of discernment in
the matter Of attire. .-Clothier and Fur

ASSAULTED BY A NEGRO.
A Helpless White Lady Compelled to
Submit to the Black Fiend.


ONANcooK, Va, March 12.-Late Sun
day night Magruder Fletcher, powerful
young colored man, broke into the house
OF Mrs. Obediah McCready, in Minnesota
Neck, in the Northern part OF Accomac
County, and violently assaulted her Mrs.
McCready's husband was absent from
home at the time, being engaged in catch
ing oysters across the Chesapeake Bay.
The only persons in the house besides Mrs.
McCready were her two young children,
aged five and three years respectively.
The colored man, who had been employed
by Capt. McCready to cut wood for his
wife during his absence, entered through
an upstairs window. When Mrs. Nc
Cready first became aware of the negros
presence in the house he was standing by
her bed with his hand on her throat lie
threatened to kill her and her little child
rem II she should scream. He assaulted
Mrs. McCready four times, leaving her
Just before daybreak. Constable Gladding
arrested Fletcher, who was in hiding. All
the surrounding country was aroused and
men were securing the woods in every di-
rection. Fletcher was lodged in Accomac
Courthouse jail and chained TO the floor to
prevent his escape. lie denies that he
committed the crime, but his wife testifes
that he was away from home all night and
did not return until nearly sunrise, aud
the accused himself made several conflict
ing statements. Many persons believe that
the jail will be stormed and the negro
hung, but the officials appear TO have no
apprehension OF such an occurrence. Mrs
McCready is about thirty years old.

In large and lucrative practice running
through number OF years, my husband,
by using Swilt's Specific, restored health
TO great many people in whose cases all
other remedies had proven useless. To
give list would be to write the history of
stubborn maladies and remarkable and
wonderful cures. will mention the case
OF young man afflicted with blood poison
for five years. He was helpless for year
was blind for some days, and his case
seemed naturalization under the usual
treatment he had grown worse, until his
condition was, to say the least, horrible;
rheumatism came on to add TO his suffer
ings. DIR. Love prescribed Swits Specific,
and by its use the poison was gradually
forced out OF his system, the sight restored,
the rheumatism cured, and today he is u
sound and healthy man. Ny husband re-
