The Late George A. Ainslie.

Remarks maie by Captain r. f. Froyser at
the meeting OF the Board OF Managers OF tho
Mechanics Instituted
Mr.. President, I rise to unite with my
colleagues in paying the last sad tribute Of
respect TO our deceased brother. Tho
Death King has removed from our midst
one for whom we I'll iigd the highest esteem
and love. In the demise Of Captain Ainslie
we ara reminded of the uncertainty
of life, and the great and solemn
truth is brought home TO us that
it IS appointed unto all once TO die.
We shall never see his manly form again
nor that bright and cheerful face. His
good and reliable judgment rendered him
q useful citizen in the conduct of any en-
terprise of public character. He was for
several years the president Of the Chamber
Of Commerce. and in this capacity he
eXerted a powerful influence for good. BY
his industry and frugalfty he amassed a
handsome estate. With this an hOnOred
name he has left his family. Few boys who
start in life like our friend on the bottom
round of the ladder OF fame ascends TO the
point he reached. He was endowed witha
strong mind and discriminating judgment,
with heart full of kindness and warmth.
With o genial nature he made many friends.
Those who loved in lie now mourn his too
early end. Suffering for the last year
or two from that fell disease with
which he died. he went abroad in pursuit
of health, which ne oraved should be re-
stored to him; but he returned to his
family little improved. He never com
planned Of his condition. He bore all of his
sufferings with fortitude and awaited the
final summons hkc a true Christian man.
With love and friendship. with sorrow of u
whole community, we viii tomorrow inter
the remains OF our brother where the
breezes blow softly from the sunny South,
aud where his kindred and friends can
shed tear over his grave.

81. 600 electric lights. There would be
four main entrances. and each entrance
would have four elevators for carriages
and sixteen elevators for passengers.
The building would have eight stories,
tho last surmOunted by dome. MI.
Barrett intends that his tower, besides
being n rare il somewhat costly archltec-
tural marvel. shall relieve the committee
of the necessity Of discussing plans Tor any
other buildings, as all exhibitions from the
various quarters Of the globe could be &C
commodated upon its different floors. The
exnense of a structure Of this description
would probably be in the neighbOrhoOd OF
the cost of the mythical tower OF Baoci,
which 1t would also somewhat resembie III
its extraordinary tumble Of tongues ana
business interests.
Mr.. j.. 7. Thomas, another New YORK
architect. suggests an inclined-plane tower
of ] 500 feet in height; the ascent TO the
summit TO be made along an inclined plane
moving around the structure from It's base.
"Ah, yesl" said a ChcagOan. when a
member Of the Building Committee spoke
enthusiastically OF the wonderful architec-
tural plans that were coming in. New
York has all the magnificent designs and
everything else necessary TO make the tar
q success-except the money!
"Well," remarked the piqued committee
man, I'VE are not quite so quick on the
pull as you western folks. We don't pull
our pistols nor our pocket-books as rapldly
"a you do. But there Is ono street in this
town alone that can-and will-sub scribe
more solid cash for the fair than all Chi
cago can do. We viii be on hand with the
funds when the time for using them ar
rives."
Meanwhile New York has $4,000 900 and
Chicago 80, 600 900 subscribed. 1t is any
bodYls fairn vet.

their line of goods.
SAVING.
BY importing the bulk Of their foreien
goods direct they found that the disaQ-
vantages and expense, rs well rs the md
dle-man's fees and percentages, could bo
done away with. and the firm has now re-
nresentatives in most of the leading Euro
pean cities who keep them well posted on
STYLES and constantly supplied with the
latest productions Of the foreign market.
A BENEFrr TO TIE PURCHAsER.
There is another advantage derived from
the Importation Of stock, and this Is reap
ed by the purchaser. The cheaper goods
are bought the cheaper they can be
sold, and in buying goods abroad one
not only gets the benefit of lower price,
lists. but also the reduction made for pur-
chases in large quantities and the discount
made for cash.
TIE NEW STORE.
The new store is most centrally and con-
veuiently located, and Is unquesJlOnably
the handsomest in Richmond. The first or
street floor presents n most attractive ana
lively appearance. Passing IN from the
sidewalk between the large plato-giaSs

liz half q square. The walls and ceiling are
beautifully finished in hard wood, and IN
the rear are the cashiers desk and private
office of the firm. Leading 70 the second
floor Is a broad oak grand stairway.
MILLINERY PARLoR.
Here the millinery parlor is frstreached.
This is 20x3D feet in size, the foor Is COW
cred with Wilton carpet, and the apart
msnt is elegantly furnished. Here are
found only the imported patterns and
the choicest of trimmed goods produced
from their own workwOmon. To the 'front.'
of this room is the department devoted
entirely 10 fancy Coods-filbbons. Pushes,
Velyots. and Fur Goods. The quantity and
variety of these feminine tancies - quite
bevond the Imagination OF one who has
never seen the stock here displayed. Adj
Joining the millinery parlor are the work
rooms. Here the art Of arranging trim,

"Four billions of cigars? Yes, sir; that's

Precisely. Half the number Of

draughtsmen. As nothing has attracted
so much attention - the lofty Eiffel Tower,

Charles A. Bouton suggests tower 800

|"
DAYv111E. "a, November 9.-As tele-
craDhed the Dispatch last night. the Halifax
prisoners have been removed TO Lynch
burg. and Danville is relieved Of the very
disagreeahle charge. A private note re-
ceivcd to-day from South Boston gives as
surance that the people Of that town never
intended to come here and lynch the pri-
sOners.
Frank b. Gravely, Charles II. Conrad,
and Abner Anderson have been recon-
mended by the City Council TO Judge
Aiken as a suitable committee TO reassess
the real estate in Danyille.
In the Council this afternoon resolu-
ton was offered by Colonel j. NJ. Neal that
q committee be appointed to confer with O
Ike committee from the North. Danvlle
Council vita the view TO consolidating the
Governments OF the two towns into one.
This question has been agitated for q long
time, but there IS objection on both sides
OF the river, particularly on the North
Danville side, and it IS doubtful II the peo-
pie are yet ready for the union.
Tobacco sold fairly well all the week,
though the election excitement has had
the effect TO depress the market slightly.
The weather now IS warm and damp,
making an excellent season for stripping
tobacco. so that very large breaks are
looked for next week. The manufacturers
shipped 100 coo pounds.
Major Sutherlin, Colonel Withers, and
Colonel Neal Will 60 to Ianceyvule Tues
day and speak to the people of Caswcl
county on the subject of subscription
from that county to the Danville and
PittsbOro' railroad.
Some DAYS ago a medicine man from the
North. calling himself Mexico Bill and

tower !, 1872 feet in height IS proposed by j.
A. Shedd, while Brooklyn man suggests
tower with powerful pumps which could
be used as q saltwater reservoir TO purify
the city.
Another plan is for an iron tower !, 400
feet in height with q stone basis $50 feet
high. The columns around the base would
represent each State and Territory in the
Union, and be built of stone from each
State and Territory, the top Of base to
contain an open space for summer con-
certs. while the second and third platforms
would be devoted to oQJeS, reception and
reading-rooms. etc. with great view Of

voted to various halls and theatre.
A ,390-foot tower with base extending
400 feet on the surface, and having height
Of $50 feet, ~ another suggestion Of an
aspiring tower-builder. The base would
contain seven stories, and be surmounted
by shaft consisting OF several alternating
round and square sections. the whole sur
mounted by cylindrical figure. upon
which rests ball topped by Gag.
Colonel Andrew Derron proposes q tower

Notbinc succneds like snccess, and there

Nothing succeeds like success, and there
are certain factors which, applied 70 busl-
ness, are sure to bring it. One OF these IS
energy, another is honesty, and third IS
perseverance. This trio, properly COM
bined and well regulated by discretion, are
sure to bring forth good and desirable
fruit. even without the aid Of that all-lm-
pOrtant auxiliary-capital.
The application Of these qualities -
clearly shown in the handsome, new, and
spacious millinery and fancy goods estab-
lishment Just completed for that enter
prising firm. Kaufman Il CO., at the south
east corner of Broad and Fourth streets,
which Will be thrown open 10 the pubnc
for the first time this week.
THE START.
This establishment IS the elimination Of
n small business that was started some
fourteen years ago at 4l3 east Broad street
by Mr.. Lewis Kaufman. His little store
entirely for retail trado-was about 10 by
30 teet; the new stand Is 80 by l2S feet, and
embraces four hOors-wholesal and retail.
To otto the figures is all that Is necessary
to show the growth Of the business. The
little acorn has become the majestic OAK.
CHANGES.
After the death of Mr.. Kaufmann the
business was conducted by his daughters
until about eight years ago, when the
senior member of the present hrm. Dir. l..
Kaufman, took its management upon hls
shoulders. With the injection OF new
blood in the business came renewed ac-
tivity Of purpose and enterprise, which
naturally created larger patronage. Three
wears later Mr.. |. Il. Kautmann became a
partner. Morenew blood, more push, more
custom. A Wholesale department was
added 10 the store. and trade increased so
rapidly that after awhile the propuetors
saw that the quarters occupied were en-
tirely too small. Furthermore. they saw
that in n wholesale way they had the same
advantages IA northern iobDers. By the
importation of goods direct from Europe
they could compete with New YORK ana
other metropolitan cities, especially, IoI
southern trade. Richmond being well To-
Gated as a distributing point.
That was about two years ago, and a
search for new quarters was begun. 10 was
difficult 10 find location that would SUIT,
but the present new stand was secured A.
ter the removal Of its furmer occupants,
aud "a soon as possil le the work OF recon
struction was commenced.
OK THE Road.
The growth Of the firms jobbing husi-
ness. which is yet in lis infancy, has been
remarkable, and at the present time haut-
