CLOTHING,
CARPETS And BLANKETS.

They represent with us three
large and distinct departments
and in our extensive and
embracive business are three
important factors. We do
not attribute it to business
sagacity-but months ago we
foresaw the condition in which
trade would be to day. 1t was
upon this basis we purchased
and whatever benefits viii
accrue from large buying, early
buying, intellig ent buying and
cash buying-are our benefits
to-day.
Clothing may continue to
advance. Carpets and blank
cts will yet feel more heavily
the effect of the rise-but our
present large and splendid
stock of these goods has not
nor will they be effected by
the present general upward
tendency in price-and more
our stock is ample for the
present season. We never
before showed a line of cloth
ing in any way comparable
with our present line.
What other house will offer
an all wool black CoTkscrew
Suit for $40 and SLIP Not a
few broken sizes, but a COM
plete assortment, from which
we will fit the smallest to the
largest man. We will show a

chant tailor would be satisfied

in every sense Of the word.We
have suits for busint s. as low
as honest goods and we'll
made. You will not duplicate
the Prince Albert Suit we
offer for $25, if mea'ured for
the same goods, within $40 of
the price we charge. Our
Boys and Childrens goods
range in price from SIS. 50 to
$40, and in quality and pat
tern the best obtainable. Our
Overcoat stock will furnish
anything you may need from
the sturdy storm" TO the most
natty satin-lined.
In stock and in storage we
have many duplicates of all
the handsome patterns Of Car

Moquettes; an unexcelled dis
play of Veretians in any
desirable width, and splendid
line Of Rugs, Druggtts and
Oilcloths.
1t will not only be our plea
sure but our benefit that you
examine our carpet and gen
eral floor goods. and compare
the prices we are prepared to
offer with those of any cash
house in Wilmington, New
York or Philadelphia. If they
bought when we did and as
we did they can compete with
us otherwise in the very ma
ture of things we can and will
name you lower prices.
When we tell you our

MARRIED YOUNG AND REPENTED.
Two Sisters Who Welded Brothers Granted
Divorces Together.

Two Sisters Who Welded Brothers Granted
Divorces Together.
MIDDLETowN, N. Y, April H.-At a
special term of the Delaware County Su-
preme Court at Delhi, Justice Charles E.
Parker presiding, divorces were granted for
identical causes to two sisters who had
simultaneously married two Brothers. The
actions were brought by Carrie Mayo
against Zenas Mayo, and by Louisa Mayo
against George Mayo, and the grounds in
each case were cruelty. The plaintiffs are
the daughters of Harrison Lakin of Han
cock, and are nieces of the Rev. Arad
Lakin, widely known in connection with
his services as an army chaplain in the War
of the Rebellion, and subsequently with the
New York City Five Points Mission. They
are highly connected on the mothers side
with the well-to-do Wheeler family of the
Delaware River Valley.
The plaintiffs, who are still young and
beautiful women, when mere school girls of
IA and IL years respectively, were married,
in a moment of will!ul caprice, to the
brothers Mayo, who were greatly their
social interiors, and, as it now appears,
were otherwise unworthy. After about
four years of unhappy welded life, they
simultaneously appealed to the court for
release from the coniugal bonds. The court
awards to each an absolute divorce, with
leave to resume her maiden name and
marry again, and with the full custody of
her children.

man, and there is no doubt that his fortune
has grown to comfortable proportions. The
greatest success of the ex-private secretary
has been won by the introduction OF the eie-
ment of honesty in dealing with the polltl-
cal rulers of New York City.
They have not been approached that way
In very long time and probably Lamont's
success was as much due to the novelty OF
his attack as to any other cause. For many
years it has been the custom in New York
for capitalists who wish to introduce
railroad or any other similar improvement
to attempt by means of bribery and cor
ruption to push their measures through.
1t was usually question of price. Mr..
Lamont has returned to the primeval plan
of operations by offering liberal franchise
to the city in an open and honorable way.
The authorities have met him half way. but
they are rather dazed and baff1ed by the
developments.
THE FOLLOWING OF HILL.
The following of Mr.. Cleveland's antago-
mist, Governor Hill, in'the city is very large
and as that astute statesman has his hands
full in Albany he does not medtle at all
with reform in municipal affairs. Mr..
Hills sauvity is marked; he is one of the
most thoroughly contented and amiable men

seen. His visits to New York are frequent
and as rule they are unheralded. His
taste in theatricals runs to burlesque and he
visits the comic opera theaters more fire.

style of plays.
On such an occasion the Governor sits in
the very rear of box, while his companions
take the front seats. After the performance
is over Mr.. Hill goes to his regular rooms
in the Hoffman House and receives the
politicians until II o'clock. At that hour
everybody leaves, while the Governor goes
to bed and sleeps 611 hours. THIS is his
limit. He is lean, sinewy, ambitious, and

LONDON, April 27.-The officers of the
Palestine Exploration Fund of England an
nounce that after a long delay they have at
last received frman from the Sultan of
Turkey which gives them permission to re-
sumo their excavations and researches in
Palestine. The Turkish Government re-
quested the officers of the society
to furnish the name of the site at
and around which they propose to be-
gin operations. The latter have pledged
themselves to transmit to the Imperial
Museum in Constantinople all objects of
antiquity found in the excavations. They
are permitted, however, to keep duplicates
and to make copies and take squeezes Of all
inscriptions and reliefs and TO take photo
graphs OF everything.
The society has entered into an arrange
ment with Flinders Petrie, the well-known
and successful explorer of Egypt, to carry
on its work. 1t will require 81, 900 for the
conduct of the work during the spring, and
it asks all those interested to contribute.

MIDDLETowN, CONN, April 27.-Th ere
was an exciting scene in the cemetery at
Cortland at the burial of Frank Hotchkiss,
a young man who was killed by the accl-
dental falling of factory elevator. The
family and friends had gath cred around the
grave and the officiating clergyman had
paused in the services while the body was
being lowered to its final resting place,
Suddenly as the coffin touched bottom, the
earth around the grave caved in and car
ried down the heavy granite base and shaft
of the family monument, which fell upon
and smashed the coffin.
James Robinson, one of the pallbearers,
was also carried down into the grave and
was nearly suffocated by the earth that
caved in upon him. He was dug out in a
badly bruised condition. While the ex-
citemen: and alarm prevailed women faint
ed and the mourners uttered loud walls OF
distress. The funeral services were inter-
rupted for an hour until the body could be
transferred to another coffin and the grave
