mARsHELL. THE CASH GROCER,
Will Save You Money.

The opening of our new tea department
was a gratifying success. Our new arrange
nents greatly increased our accommoda-
tions, but apparently this was what the peo-
pie were waiting on, for they flocked in, and
we were as badly crowded as before. 1t is
very apparent that the old chestnut of
"presents given away with tea" has become
very moldy indeed, and the people are with
us when we offer them good tea at wholesale
prices and send them to the crockery store
for their crockery ware.
Every tub stands on its own bottom in
our store, and we sell everything cheap be-
cause we sell cheap, and we don't put any
extra profit on our tea to make up losses on
other goods.
One of the popular features Of our new tea
department is our arrangements for drawing
tea on a moments notice. Everyone can
taste the tea before buying. One of the fire.
uuent remarks about our 19c tea was: "Oh,
how cheap! But it can't be good" Then
Mr.. Shaw was in his element, and, pouring
out the tea, said: 'Taste it." That settled
it, and it was sale every time. Of course
there are some people who have not sense
enough to come in out of the wet when it
rains, and these people always judge tea by
the price they pay for it. But the majority
of people have "horse sense" and as they
drink tea every day are able to tell good tea
when they taste it.
Buckeye -four is having wonderful
boom. People are tired of -four that tastes
like chips,' and appreciate the Buckeye,
that has the full strength of the wheat.
Send for weekly price list and order by
mail. Orders amounting to $40, without
counting sugar. will be packed and shipped
free of charge to any point within 200 miles.

miscellaneous assortment of things too
numerous to mention.
Officer Sol Coulson found two Italians
running candy store on the steps of the
Masonic Bank building, on Smithfeld

more room than they paid taxes and rent
for, and blocked the street, and so he took

JAIL BREAKERS STORY.
Miller Makes n Dnma ginE Confession-Thes-
sen Tells How He Came by the Rope
Warden Berlin Tnlks.

Miller Makes n Dnmn sinR Coufession-Thes-
sen Tells How He Came by the Rope
Warden Berlin Talks.
Edward Thessen and William Miller, the
two men charged by Warden Berlin with
attempting to escape from the Jail, had a
hearing before Magistrate Gripp in the Jail
yesterday afternoon. R. 81. johnson
conducted the prosecution, the pris-
oners having no counsel. The rope
found in Thessen's cell together
with knife and two iron hooks, was ex-
hibited. Prisoners Eibs, Finnefrog, Britton
and Reams testified to having conversed
with the two principals in the laundry on
the subject of escaping and the structure
and position of the bars. Reams had con-
fessed to Miller that he had escaped from
the Jail at Murrysville some time ago.
Warden Berlin testified to having
watched these six men in the laundry for
the past four Thursdays. He did not see
them make any rope, but did see them ex-
amining the bars on the outside of the jail
window. Miller confessed to having said to
Finnefrog one time when they stood look
ing down at the yard gate that Pepper
would be good thing" inferring that it
could be thrown in the eyes of the guard.
Thessen told straightforward story to
the effect that former prisoner, John
Kaylor, had told him he had a rope made
by which to escape, and invited him to join
in the attempt He expected friend to
climb up the wall at night and cut the bars,
when he would climb outinto the triangular
yard and thence over the wall TO Fifth
avenue. Thessen declined to give positive
answer.
When Kaylor was sentenced to the peni-
tentiary he asked Thessen to conceal the
rope. The latter carried small portions of
it into his cell and concealed them in his
pillow, expecting to leave it behind him
when he got his sentence. BE had written
several letters to Jennie Ware, in one OF
which he asked for acid. He had thought
several times of committing suicide, and
then be wanted to enlist her sympathy, so
she would not testify against him. Jennie
Ware is charged with being an accomplice
Of Thessen.
Under questioning Thessen still told a
straight story, though his memory was con-
veniently uncertain at times. He said
Kaylor, during his absence from his cell,
took the pieces of duck on the edge of his
cot, which he had refused to him.
Magistrate Gripp had the men returned
10 their cells and announced that he would
hold Thessen on the charge, and delay de-
,ision in Miller's case until Monday.

1T WILL BE OPPOSED.
The Movement to Distribute Prohibition
Literature in the Schools.

A prominent liquor dealer said yesterday
that if the Women's Christian Temperance
Union attempted to distribute constitutional
amendment tracts and advertisements in the
public schools for the purpose of reaching
fathers through children, he would in
augurate movement to stop such distri-
button. As stated in The DISPATCH this
week this plan is contemplated by the ladies
in order to secure votes in the coming cam
paign.
The gentleman alluded to says the Pro-
hibitionists have no more right to pollute
the schools with tracts for political purposes
than the Republican or Democratic parties.
He thinks there will be no trouble to find
law bearing on the subject.

MR.. MORROW EXPLAINS.
Morgue Fees Are Customary and the City
Contributes Nothing.


Superintendent of the Morgue George A.
Morrow was seen last evening in reference
to statement which had appeared in an
afternoon paper that fee of S. had been
demanded from the friends for the deposit
of the body of each victim of the recent dis
aster. Mr.. Morrow said:
1t is quite true that asked a fee of SIS for the
bodies. 1t was more human to wash and clean
the bodies of the victims and care for them
than to let them lie there uncared for, just as
they were brought in, for several hours. Any
undertaken would have charged as much or
more for the same service. Moreover, it is
customary to charge that fee in all cases. The
fee was not insisted upon in any case, and in
that of the man who worked for Mr.. SHELTON,
and who had no friends here no fee was
charged at all. None of the friends made any
complaint about the fee at the time, and that
was all proflted byIt.
The service of washing those bodies was GER
tainy worth that much. The man referred to
lay in the morgue from p. M. until noon the
next day. His brother identified him that
night but did not take him away until the fol.
lowing day at noon and made no complaint
about the charge. If any of the parties are
needy or dissatisfied. 1 will refund the money.
Neither the city nor the county contribute one
cent to the maintenance of this morgue.

THE FLEMING SUIT.
What In Thought of it by the GrsenviIle
Peoule.

What Ii Thought of it by the GreenvfIls
People.
The following special dispatch was TO
ceived from Greenville, Pa, last night:
Squire Fritz, the only acting justice in Green
vile, denies the assertion made by Joseph
Fleming in to-day's DISPATCH that he is a Pro
hibitionist He is strong Republican, and in
favor of license. If Judge Mehard, Of Mercer.
is meant the assertion is equally false for he is
a Democrat and granted ten licenses last year
instead Of none, as Mr.. Fleming asserts.
In reply to this Mr.. Fleming, the drug
gist, said to DISPATCH reporter last night
that he did not mean to misrepresent the
Judge. He had not said he was Prohibi-
ZIONIST, but he meant to say that he acted in
the same way Prohibitionists do. As indi-
eating the drift of public opinion down
there the Greenville Independent of Friday
said:
The temperance people Of this county seem
determined to give their lawyers q chance 20
get slice Of the peoples money. They have
had the well known and popular druggist, Jos.
Fleming. "a Market street, Pittsburg, indicted
before the grand jury this week for selling
liquor without license. Weare sorry that Mer-
Ger county has so many blind fools. Mr.. Flem-
ing holds wholesale license. and under that he
Is entitled to ship liquor into any part of the
State without violating the law.

Efforts TO be Made To. Morrow to Rafse the
Steamboat.
The harbor steamer Duquesne lies on the
river bed of the Monongahela, opposite
Thirty-fourth street, in II feet of water.
Her pilot house just appears above the sur
face. An effort will be made tomorrow to
raise the craft.
The adventures of the Duquesne escaped
notice in the more exciting news of the
week. She was moored to the north side of
the river when the cyclone struck the city
last Wednesday. A dozen coal barges on
the south side, at Cook & Graham's saw
mill, were blown from their moorings and
shot clear across the stream with a terrific
sorce Jack Slarley, a deck hand, was
aboard. He saw what must happen and
left the boat Just in time to save himself.
The barges stove in the whole side of the
Duquesne, and she sunk. She was valued
at s., 900 by her owners.

1T MAY RESULT FATALLY.

Soufhside Boys Who Caused a Horse to
Kick His Driver.
Some bad boys on the Southside last
night by throwing stones at horse caused
the latter to kick Phillip Miter, driver,
and the injuries received may result in the
latter's death.
The affair occurred at the stable of
Schultz & Co., on Harcum alley. Miter
was rubbing the horses legs, when the boys
began to annoy him by throwing pebbles at
the horse. The latter kicked and caught
the driver on the leg, breaking that member
and otherwise badly injuring him.
He was removed to his home, at No. 81
Union alley, where he lies in a serious con-
dition. The boys were not arrested.

AGAINST THE REBEL FLAGS.
Southern Congressmen Afraid to Vote for
the Bill.

Southern Congressmen Afraid to Vote for
the Bill.
John n. Stevenson, of this city, has re-
ceived letter from Congressman to whom
he wrote in regard to the presentation of a
bill making it crime to display rebel flags
in any commonwealth in the United States.
In the letter the Congressman states that
the present session of Congress will be too
short to present it this term, and there is
no use trying to get it through the next
Congress.
From the complexion of the latter the
writer argues that too much influence will
be brought to bear upon the representatives
from Southern States, and they could not
be persuaded to support the measure.
These members rely on the ex-rebel votes
for continuance in Office, and would be
afraid to do anything in Office but take sides
against the bill. The writer says there is
not enough power in Congress to prevent
the display of rebel flags in the South.

Judge Mellon, Mr.. McClung, Mr.. Sponsler,
C. C. Dickey, Mr.. Henderson, w. s. Will

The result was the adoption of the following
resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Allie
gheny County Bar Association that the act of
May 25 1857, should be repealed, and that no
attempt to modify the practice of the courts of

ATOO PREVIOUS ARREST.
A Zelienople Tax Collector Arrested For
Leaving the Town.


A. W. Phillips, of Zelienople, the man
who was arrested yesterday by Detective
Glenn, of Allegheny, was released last night
upon q deposit of 500 to secure his bonds
men against loss. He was tax collector at
Zelienople, and sold out his store at that
place few days ago. Yesterday morning
he bought a round-trip ticket on the Pitts
burg and Western Railroad and started for
this city, intending to spend the day here.
His bondsmen thought something was
wrong, and that Phillips must be short in
his accounts, or he would not have sold his
store and left town. Acting on this suppo-
sition, the man, whose name is Lusk, tele-
graphed to Chief Kirschler, of Allegheny,
asking him to arrest Phillips. The Chief
did so, and telegraphed to Zelienople for an
officer to come and take the man back.
The Chief received polite invitation to
bring the man back himself. The latter re-
fused to do it, as he had no authority, and,
thinking the man was being unjustly de-
tanned, he ordered his release. Mr.. Phillips
says he will bring suit against Lusk for or
dering his arrest.
