A "JAHR-M ARKA."
For The Benefit Of Old st Johns.

st. Johns is always getting up something
new and entertaining. For three or four
years she has presented TO us something
never heard Of before.
This year she has gone to Russia for a
"Jahr Marka." Our readers can better tell
what that is by examining the ticket which
is as follows: 'Jahr-Marka, or the Great
Russian Peter Paul Fair" Of NUnii-Noygo-
rod.
This fair is to be presented by the ladies
Of Old ST. Johns Church, beginning Mon
day night, December 9th, and ending Satur-
day night. December 18th, 1889. at Corcoran
Hall, near corner Twenty-tfth and Broad
streets.
Our cyclopedas tell us that the "Jahr-
Marka" is the largest and most curious an
nual fair 00r that is what "Jahr-Marka'
means in Russian) ever held in the world.
Two hundred thousand traders take part
in, and one hundred million dollars change
hands yearly at this fair.
COrcoran Hall will scarcely acc0mmo-
date so many traders, and the ladies of st.
Johns will be content 10 realize less than
one hundred millions. They will, however,
undertake TO represent this fair on small
scale, as nearly as possible. Greeks, Per-
slams, Turks. Circassians, Armenians,
Chinese, Arabians, and many other nation
alties--a diverse people, with diverse
wares-all have booths at this Russian
ssJahr- Marka"

A SENSATIONAL REPORT
About Hon. Jefferson Davis Death

rumor was current In the city yester-
day that Hon. Jefferson Davis had died dur
ing the morning. The report grew out of
the fact that a Press telegram had been
flashed across the wires from New Orleans
to the effect that Mr.. Davis had passed a
feverish and restless night.
3 From this small beginning the report
spread until II became rumored around the
city not only that President Davis was
dead, but that Governor Lee had been tele-
graphed for 10 coWe 10 Beauvoir 10 act as
pall-bearer at his funeral.
All these rumors proved sensational, how
ever, rs Is shown by the following telegram
received last night at the TINES office

erson Davis is improving, and hope will
