Jersey Jackets.

1t seems to us that a Jersey
Jacket is wanted at the begin
ming, all through, and at the end
of every season of the year.
With the opening of the fall
Of 1880, one Of the first things
to meet us with demand for
your notice is a grand good
Jersey Taeket, that has sold
heretofore for much better than
S. so, but that this season we
seem quite able to sell our
ladies for 81.
It's an excellent Black Jersey
Jacket, made upon honor, with
bound edges, flat open seams
inside, coat back, fine goods,
and yet the price only 81.
This ought to be called the
opening bargain in the Cloak
Department.
Another bargain for the right
ladies might as we'll be told of
now. The bargain comes to us
from an importer who deals only
in the very finest goods. This
importer has a surplus of high
cost Peasant and Russian gar
ments, and he sends us few
to offer our lady lovers of nice
outside garments.
They are in light weights,
handsomely appliqued with
Broadcloth, garments that sold
for $40, $50 and so on, but are
now ready for appreciative
ladies at So, SII.75, SIS.
We need not tell you that
these are garments of unusual
excellence, at an unusual price.
You will of necessity want to see
them soon, because only a short
time can be given to their
showing.
The boys must go to school
again, and we fancy that good
many of them will be rather glad
of the renewal of old associa-
tons. Surely, the mothers will
be glad that they have got their
boys safely through the perils
of vacation.
The first thing to be consid-
cred for the boys is their stock
ings, They do bang EN- out
dreadfully and no mistake.
Now letus tell you what we've
got good for the boys in the
stocking line. First, there are
extra heavy boys stockings,
blacks that won't crock, in sizes
7 to 10, 25c pair. Then there
are the double kneed, with high
spliced heels, the never sur
render kind, in sizes 6 to SIP,
81 I-2c pair; by far the great
est boys stocking for the
money known. Be sure and
see them.
There is quite little stir in
the dress goods world, even
now. We know the weather is
pretty hot yet, and ladies won't
feel the fall pressure until the
chill winds come with even oc-
casional htfulness.
One fabric has caught sharp
attention already. It's the new
in 'Broadcloth at 75c a yard.
It's nice and good, and the real
article, and not the calendered
stuff. 1t sold at 81 a yard all
last season, as bargain price
at 75c there is little to be said
more.
Another very effective thing
is an India Serge, with lovely
Jacquard stripes of I-2 inches,
the design of the stripes follow
ing the Persian closely,-5oc
yard. Don't know how long
they will last, but this we do
know, that nothing this year can
be better than our French India
Twill at SOC yard.

Of the current which caused the death OF

crossed with tho electric Light wires anywhere
in that vicinity, and for aught any one knows
the contact may have been at the extreme

broken wire, which also crosses one Of the
electric light wires, while the second one
forming the tncandescent circuit Is crossed

citizens who read the report almost wondered

A CRASH IN THE DARK.
And Washington's New Steamer Went
DOWNRIGHT. RandalPs Story.

Capt. E. s. Randall, owner of the CRYSTAL
Wave, was at THE STAR Office today and when
questioned by reporter gave some additional
facts regarding the collision of the Wave and
Cleopatra fifteen miles off the Delaware capes
Tuesday morning. There was no fog. but it
was very dark at 5:15, when the crash came
Capt. Randall was in the engine room talking
with Thomas Gray, and as there had been bad
weather his first impression was the Wave had
struck wrecked vessel but he was quickly
undeceived. Capt. Martin of New York was in
charge of the Wave and stated that he first saw
the mast light of the Cleopatra and next her
green light, when he gave orders to haul the
Wave over two points and let the two steamers
pass on port sides. The quartermaster replied
that the Cleopatra was then showing her red
light, and as it was too late to change the
course of his boat Capt. Martin signalled the
engineer to back at full speed.
THE COLLISION.
The boat responded quickly, but the Cleo
patra was close upon them andstruck the Wave
rs feet aft her stem, cutting to the keel. knock
ing out the stem and putting her fires out in ten
minutes. The Wave was afloat sixty-five
minutes after the collision, sinking head first
in 100 feet of water. In lowering her first
boat, containing Engineer Spencer and Henry
kengla, aged seventy-seven, the tackle broke
and they were plunged into the sea- Engineer
Davis also got overheard and Thomas Gray got
well soaked in jumping into the boat. All were
easily rescued Capt. Randall would have re-
manned with Martin, but was urged to go on
board the Kanawha, as the Wave was sure to
sink. and, securing all the clothing of the crew
and passengers, he took leave of his boat. The
kanawha towed the Cleopatra short distance
but found her too big load and cut her loose,
but while within range of their glasses she was
still afoat and the last view showed a pilot boat
making for her.
CAPT. RANDALLs HEAVY LOSS.
Capt Randall is entirely satisfied with the
conduct of Capt Martin and believes he did all
that could have been DONE He talked of in
surfing the Wave for the trip, but as she was a
good sea boat and it would cost % per cent
for thlrty-six-hour trip 81 200 for a $40 900
policy old steam boat men advised him to take
his own risks. The Wave was built thirteen
years ago at cost of $780, 900 and was fine bar
gain at $4,000, the price paid to the Bridge
port company. Capt Randall offered wreck
ing company 40 per cent of whatever they could
save but received telegram today stating
that they could do nothing this season A
lawyer in New York is looking after Capt Ram
dalls interest The captain says it is a big per
sonal loss, but the Mary Washington will con-
time to run to River View till he can make an
other raise. He attributes the collision to the
Cleopatras cotton cargo, which made her diff
cult to steer.

Who Killed CrOnin?

Peter McCahey of Philadelphia in letter to
the New York Sun says: Allow me to point out
to your readers that no member of the Clan
na-Gael had any hand or part in the murder of
DR.. Cronin, and that the outcry against the
Clan-na-Gael was started in order to divert
attention from the real murderers and enable
them to escape justice.
During the last four years there have been
two Irish organizations in this country, the
LNB., publicly known as the Irish Nationalists,
and the Clan-na-Gael. Camp 20 of Chicago is
a camp of the LN.B. and not a camp of the
Clan-na-Gael. All of the men who have been
slandering DR.. Cronin's memory are members
of the LN.B. Camp Ii of New York and the
camps in Brook yn and elsewhere that have
contributed to the murderers' defense fund are
members of the LIMB
or course there are many honest patriotic
men in the LN.B., and several LN.B. camps
have contributed to the prosecution fund, but
the fact remains that the leaders of the In. b.,
such as Thos H. Roynane, Michael Kerwin and
Austin Z. Ford OF New York, Thos. j. Denehy
of Brooklyn, John +. Finnerty of Chicago, NJ
+. Wilhere and John j. Bradley Of Philadel-
phia, John Leonard of Fall River, DIR. j. Z.
Scallon of Hancock, Mich, have manifested no
disposition to assist the authorities in avenging
the murder of DIR. Cronin, although the muir
der was perpetrated by members of their or
ganization. This indifference Of the leaders
of the LN.B. is in marked contrast to the
prompt action taken by the Clan-na-Gael who
were:the first to insist that DR.. Cronin had not
gone away voluntarily, but that he had been
murdered to prevent the exposure of the
treachery and dishonesty of his guilty asso-
ciates.
Up to the present time the Clan-na-Gael have
expended almost go, 600 in assisting the au-
thorities to find and punish the murderers. 1t
is manifestly unfair that the organization which
has always been on the side of justice should
be held responsible for the murder of one of
its most honored members, especially when
