the Best of Style-He 10 Closing in on
Port.Au- Prince-His Plan for

the Best of Style He 10 Closing In on
Port.Au-Prince-HisP Plan for
Capturing IL.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The schooner Will
liam H. Jones arrived at this port to-day,
direct from the black republic. She
left Hippolyte's headquarters on June
90 with a cargo of logwood for this
city. Captain Hounslea brings the latest
news from the scene of the insurrection.
He says there were no indications of
hostilities when the schooner left
port. The United States men-ot-war
Ossipee and Kearsarge were in the vicinity
of Cape Hayti, the latter having arrived on
June %, escorting the American steamer
Caroline Miller. The Ossipee, which had
inst brought about the release of the Amer
lean steamer Ozama, left day or two be-
fore the William Jones in the wake OF the
CLYDE line steamer George w. Clyde. The
Ossipee made sure that the Clyde reached
St. Marc and Conaives with molestation.
Hippolyte, Captain Hounslea said, had
his army of 4, 900 men encamped midway
between st. Marc and Conaives. The
northern generals objective point was
Port-au- Prince, which was still in control
OF Legitime. Hippolyte, the captain said,
and the in formation came direct from one OF
the northern leaders lieutenants, was fear
fui of entering Port-au-Prince with his full
army, lest his warriors should become un-
manageable at the sight of the opportuni-
ties to pillage the capital. Hippolyte cal
culated to secure possession of Port-au-
Prince by stratagem. He counted upon
surrounding the city at night, overcoming
the enemy's guards and taking Legitime a
prisoner, with few of his trusted followers.
Two OF Hippolyte's gunboats, Ajax and
Carmelalet, left Hayti for Conaives the day
before the Jones left port. The latter was
in a very unseaworthy condition, The cap
tain observed that Hippolyte's war vessels
treated all the American vessels entering
Cape Hayti with great respect. When his
schooner entered the harbor the colors of
the Haytian men-of-war were dropped re-
peatedIy in recognition of the Stars and
Stripes at the schooner's masthead.

AN ACCIDENT
Narrowly Averted-A Falling Sign Comes
Near Doing Much Damage.

The large sign-board OF the Half Century
liquor house Of John Mccullough, 523 Lib
erty street, fell from the upper story of the
building last Thursday. A valuable horse
was hitched in front of the house. Singu-
lar to say, the heavy sign-board, instead of
striking and killing the animal, fell end
wise and just missed 1t! The sign itself re-
manned standing on end against the build
ing!
1t is coincidence that at about the same
time great fall occurred in prices of the
standard liquors dealt in by the house. For
example those wonderfully fine brands of
old whiskies, "Prince Regent" and wind
sor Castle" formerly sold as high as S18 a
gallon, fell in price to Sc gallon. In other
frst-class liquors there was a cores
pondingly great come-down. Fine brandies,
gins, ETC., etc., at very low prices. Bottled
beer is also kept in stock.

Kaufmanns' don't believe in making grave
yard out of their store. The hum of busi-
ness, the clanking of the wheels of commerce
is lovely music to their ears True, they
may often sell goods without any profit, or
even at a positive loss, but they have the
satisfaction of seeing their business go on
serenely, no matter whether it be pleasant
May or hot July. Their present sale of
Mems fine Dress Suits at $I4 proves the
correctness of what they say. The anxiety
of the purchasers show their appreciation of
Kaufmanns' bargains. This wonderful $I4
Suit Sale will continue all this week, and, if
anything, the values will be better and greater
than ever before. Fourteen Dollars will buy
your choice this week from several thousand
fine Sack and Frock Suits made of such Gel
ebrated materials as genuine English Cassi-
meres and Serges, Scotch Cheviots, French
Worsteds and Corkscrews. And these ma
terials (mark you) in all the latest and most
popular light and dark patterns. If you but
consider that the cheapest suit in the line
would cost you $40 elsewhere, you will not
be surprised that we are busy, while others
are idle.

Who, in the face of the big crowds that at
tended Kaufmanns' $I4 fine Suit Sale yes
terday, can still take any stock in the theory
that business is stagnant after the Fourth" ?
What nonsense How unjusti6able the COM
plants of the dealers! What conclusive evil
dence of the fallacy of their stereotyped ex-
cuse for their empty stores: This is our dull
season." We believe that, if there is any
dullness, it must have its existence in the
marrow minds of these old fogy concerns
Shopworn goods, old styles and prices that
are away up in &C" are certainly not calcu-
lated to attract buyers. But these sleepy
clothiers can't or won't see where the shoe
pinches them, for instead of making their
goods and prices acceptable to an economical
public, they make matters worse by losing
all courage and permit themselves and their
stores to sink into state of lethargy from
which only the advent of the fall season will
awaken them. But go on, brethren, with
your stage coach methods. If it suits you to
clay off your employees, instead of keeping
them busy by stirring up your trade, nobody
Qest the unfortunate salesmen) will object.
'Tis wrong, though, to make "dull times"
the scapegoat for your shortsightedness.

MARSHAL KILLED.

An Escaped Desperate Bent on Killfna
His Wife Murders an Officer and Com.
mits Suicide.
MEXICO, No., Jan. 11.-About noon yes.
terday in New Florence, a small village in
Montgomery County, about thirty miles
east of here on the Wabash railway, Isaac
Will, who escaped about a week ago from
the Jail at Danville, the county seat, where
he was confined for attempting to kill his
wife, shot through the heart and instantly
killed the city marshal Of New Florence
and a few minutes after killed himself
while being pursued by posse of enraged
citizens.
About noon Will made his appearance
at the house of his wife, and she being
afraid he had come to execute his threat
of murder, alarmed the town. People
gathered at the house and the city marshal
demanded WILLIS surrender. He positively
refused to be arrested, and when the
marshal attempted to take him by force
whipped out a revolver and shot the
official through the heart.
Will then fed, closely pursued by q
posse. He took refuge in a cornfield, and
just as he was passing over ridge one Of
the posse shot him in the leg with Win.
chester rifle. He was then surrounded, but
when the posse began to close in on him
he drew his revolver and shot himself
three times, dying almost instantly.
Will was Jealous Of the attentions other
men paid his wife, and last fall while she
was returning with friends from the fair
at Montgomery hs rode up IL the Wagon
she was In ami shot her, and for a long
time her life hung on thread and she is
just recovering from the wound.
Will was regular desperate, and it
was undoubtedly his intention to kill his
wife aud then end his own exist
ence. He escaped from Jail on December
90, and had been hiding in the woods and
sleeping in hay stacks.
