Deserted Her offsurIne.

Yesterday afternoon at 1880 O'Clock, some
ladies who were boarding at the Misses
McIntire's, at the corner of Oak and Spring
streets, saw young woman whose move
ments were suspicious, rush into the yard of
the ST. John Smith house opposite, carrying
In her hand a bundle wrapped in black
shawl A few moments after the woman re-
appeared and ran down the street as fast as
she could go, without her bundle. The la
dies went across the street to the Smith yard
where they found wrapped in the shawl
(Which had been united by the woman to al
low air to penetrate it) a male child about
week or ten days old. The child was appar-
emily healthy and had wrapped with it in the
bundle bottle of milk. An officer was noti-
fed of the fact, and the child was Or divided
by the ladies with appropriate garments and
taken to the Temporary Home at Deering.
One of the ladies gave the child the apt name
OF Mayson Spring, because the child was a
boy, born in May, and abandoned on Spring
street.

Funeral of orln r. leerow,


The funeral of the late Orin R. Legrow

ard. The ceremonies of the Grand Army of

Pythias. Bosworth Post in Grand Army
uniforms, attended in body. leaving the
Post headquarters shortly before three
O'Clock. Shaw's Quartette sang several ap-
proprlate selections. The floral tributes
were very beautiful and numerous. They
were beautiful testimonials of the high place
the deceased held in the estimation of a vast
number of his fellowmen. Pillows, wreaths,
crosses, sickle, ect., of choice flowers and ivy
leaves were heaped upon and around the
casket. There was a beautiful pillow from
his employees, sickle from his neghbors. a

say that be was to them as a brother.
Friends should be thankful for the pleasant
memory of him that will live in all the days

turn to life since for him to be on earth was
to suffer. Because live ye shall live also.

TOBACCO.
The Wholesale Houses AnnuI Their
Agreement Prices.

The wholesale grocers have been informed
by the leading wholesalers of tobacco, like
L. Lorlllard d Co., etc., that commencing
yesterday the agreement prices on tobacco
will be broken. Mr.. Lorrillard says: "Laws
recently enacted in the States of Iowa, Kan
sas, Texas and Missouri make it illegal for
any firm or corporation to enter into con-
tracts controlling or fixing the selling prices
OF merchandise. Similar legislation is pend
ing in Illinois. We are therefore compelled
to advise that all contracts governing selling
prices of our goods are cancelled from this
date"
This is the same thing the other leading
houses say. The dealers here say this ac-
tion has completely reyolutionized trade.
Before, where there was no cutting of prices
trade ran along smooth. Now prices will be
cnt all over the country. This movement
will spread so that it will embrace all goods
sold under contract such as sugar, prints
and dozens of other classes of goods. The
dealers will have to go back to the custom
prevalent before the war. That of having
private brands of goods.
The merchants on the street were busy
yesterday notifying their runners in regard
to prices. The law in the above States will
be made to bear upon labor organizations as
well.

The Glove department
offers this morning eighty
five dozen mems white cot
ton military gloves, elastic
wrists; Ioc. a pair, ooc. a
dozen.
Frankly, the elastics are
played out, the gloves were
put too near the steam
pipes and the rubber in
the wrists succumbed.
This doesn't injure the
wearing qualities of the
glove however, they're all
right, but it furnishes a
good excuse for selling
them for about half what
they would otherwise
bring.
G. A. R. Posts, military

Elegantly finished, regu-

but for a fortunate negotia-
ton by which they came
to us at less than the cost
to import they'd be soc. at
least. All sizes, $500, a

1t is making use of a
very messy expression to
say that the lot of Kid
Gloves we are to put on
sale today is the greatest
bargain ever seen lin Port
