Wednesday,, Dec. 4th. HANDSOME CLOAKS.

Many ladies will give their personal commendation of the richness and elegance of our Cloaks. Cloaks that once were ours, but now are theirs. This will apply to Sealskins, as we'll as any others, for we sell as handsome Sealskin Sacques and Jackets a. can be found anywhere.
 We are doing a large trade in Cloth Jackets, fancy styles, vest fronts, directories. embroi- dered and plain. They fit per- fectly and give such general satisfaction that we have had difficulty in keeping a sufficient stock on hand to supply the demand.
 The same may. be said of Plush Jackets. They are almost as handsome as Sealskin, but cost only $10 to $2O.
 In Childrens' Cloaks we are prepared to supply all corners, and prices suit every time. LUCKEY, PLATT & CO.,,

with gang who stole the bolts, but had
no connection with the affair except to
help the thieves carry them away. Judge

he would let them go on condition that
their parents would take charge of them
and keep them from such gangs.

body that something be done in the
matter.
Our reasons for this change are well
known, but may again be enumerated as
follows:
First. No regulation as to weights
and measures, most of the farmers sell
ing grain on the street refuse to sell their
loads by weight; their bags of grain,
measured at home, fall short in many in
stances over one eighth Of legal measure;
we object to this particularly. We can
not compete and it does the regular trade
of this city great injustice, because
such farmers can sell sell very low.
Second The curb stone privilege is
already abused by hucksters who buy
grain from the farmers and regularly
attend this market, selling hay and grain
they do not raise on their own or leased
farms.
Third No market fee is charged, as
in the other curbstone markets.
Fourth. Interference with travel on
Fourth street.
Fifth. Danger to adjoining property
from fire, when five or six large loads Of
hay and straw are together.
Sixth. Filth created in the street by
litter dropping from loads of hay.
We think it would be a matter of
very short time if this grain street mar.
ket was abolished until yard would be
opened in a convenient place where this
merchandise could be sold, as it is done
in larger cities, notably Philadelphia.

DIR. Diapers Report of the Cits's Health
to City Council.

The report of the President James A.
Draper and s Secretary William II. Lee of
the Board of Health will be presented to
City Council tomorrow night The re-
port Of the resident is as follows:
To the Honorable, the Pre- sident and
Members Of Council:
The secretary's report of the transac-
.tions Of the Board OF Health for the year
ending December 81, 1888, is herewith
transmitted for the information Of
Council. 1t will be observed that there
are 1929 deaths during the year from all
causes, within the city, an increase Of
forty over the previous year. II the
population of the city should be still es-
timated at $1,000 the estimate Of the
previous year, this would be a death rate
Of 1881 per thousand, but in the opinion
OF well-informed persons, the population
10 now not less than 10000. Assuming
this TO be proper estimate
as it probably is, the death rate would
then be "a per thousand. Either rate
is moderate one and win place Will
mington within the class of healthful
cities. The board can again congratu-
late the Council and the people Of the city
that no serious epidemic disease has pre-
vailed since the last report. At the be
ginning of the year an epidemic Of small
poN was threatened, but through the
strenuous efforts Of the board, aided by
the liberality of Council the disease was
soon eradicated and has not reappeared.
An examination Of the mortality reports
for the year 1887 and 1888 disclose a close
correspondence in the principal causes
of death as reported TO the egistrar.
As an illustration of this fact the
accompanying table is submitted for com
parison
