the support of the Irish bishops if he
does not clear himself of adultery with

that Parnell could have maintained
his prestige as leader of the Irish
party in the English Parliament for
so long a time when 1t was known
that he was an open adulterer.

Two Notorious Characters Stab Severn.
Persons in "a New York Tenement
New YORK, April 7.-During a quar-
rel at No 32 Cherry street last night
caused by some of the occupants of the
tenement refusing to contribute money
for the growler" which was bein 9
rushed" by two notorious characters
named Curtin, several persons were
stabbed, and one, John Sloan, an old
longshoreman, will probably die from
his injuries.
The Curtins had made general at
tack on the tenants, and Sloan, with a
club, tried to drive them away They
wrested his club from him and beat him
terribly, and also stabbed him with a
penknife. James Lawton. Sloan's SON
in-law, was stabbed nine times while
trying to defend tho old man Mrs.
Sloan and Mary Driscoll were slightly
stabbed.
The Curtin brothers were captured by
officers after long chase over the
roofs. Sloan is thought to be diving at
the hospital, and Lawton is very low.

A Card Of Thanks

While the rulers of nations and the gov.
ernors of states have been in the habit OF
issuing Thanksgiving proclamations, and
often saying what they do not mean, we
feel 1t to be our pleasant duty to return to
the people of Waterbury and surrounding
towns the sincere thanks which they 81
richly deserve for our wonderful prosper
lty and phenomenal growth since 1888. In
these days of heavy failures and unbridled
rascality in the commercial world, the
swindling of customers and the misrepre-
sentation of goods, We confess that we
were almost discouraged in the idea of
building up business upon the princ-
pies which alone should win success,
namely Upright conduct in every partc
ular, honest dealings in all its details, and
keeping close eye on the market 30 as to
give the whole people the benefit of the
lowest prices on earth. How we'll we
have succeeded we will let the people
judge.
1t IL refreshing to ourselves to know that
q firm can be successful on these princi
pies in these degenerate days when every
one is trying TO | est his neighbor, and it
must be a source of satisfaction to the
people at large to witness it. Four years
ago wel outgrew our capacity in the
Grand street building, and ever since We
have been struggling for more room. To
those customers who have borne with us
when We could not show our goods to ad-
vantage, when We could not deli, or always
on time, we feel indebted for their
kind indulgence. We pride ourselves on
one point, however, that no one ever made
a complaint to us about any article of
goods that we did not make satisfactory.
In opening up our new establishment
which is larger by 800 square feet than any
other furniture house in this section of
the state, We have brought to our asss
lance men of large experience in some of
the best houses in the country who come
to us recommended rs gentlemen of the
highest character, who are thoroughly
eonversant with the furniture trade in all
its details We hope to be open Saturday
April 5. We are selling goods right
along from the South Main street
store but we cannot open our doors as the
finishing touches are not completed The
Grand street entrance will take you to any
part of the new building, where you can
inspect our stock. Our Undertaking de
partment will be up stairs on the Grand
street side, whore our patrons will be able
to select what they require at prices that
will merit their confidence. Again thank
ing the public for their liberal patronage
we will continue to remain the public's |
obedient servant |

A MURDERER'S RAGE.
no Walks His Cell Blaspheming Asains,
God and Mankind.

EAsroN, Pa, April 7-William Bar
tholomew will be executed soon for the
murder of Aaron billiard. He walks
his cell disappearing against God and
mankind in manner that causes even
the cold, grim walls to shudder.
In his cell in an old German Bible. It
is covered with dust. Bartholomew has
no use for it. If he can read it he won't
Away with the book Away with
preaching! What do these for man
already damned 2"
II am going to hell, and they can't keep
me from going there" he has yelled in
Paroxysm of rage. All day long out
into the dim corridor comes the sounds
OF curious fearful oaths and execra-
tlons-linked damnation expressed in
quaint Pennsylvania Dutch. He racks
his meagre brain for new combinations
in blasphemy. Like being possessed
the murderer raves. At night the still
ness IS often broken by an awful din.
bartholomew swearing and ravine bat
ties at the great iron door of his cell.
Yet, with all this, he has gained in
flesh.
In appearance he resembles an un-
couth savage being. Bearded, and with
enot eyes, he appears the personifica-
ton of evil
He protests his innocence when not
raving, and is deadly in his resentment
against Mrs. billiard. "She liedw cried
he, when she said killed old billiard,
and shall swear with my last breath
that she did it. I want to be hanged
right away. No use waiting"
And SO he will probably die, violent
and unrepentant to the last, wailing
alike against God and man, and happy
only in the hope that death will FOR
ever quench the awful volcano of pas
sion tina RACES within him.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 7.-There is

Point, a small town near here, over the
supposed unravelling of great mys-
terry.
EARLY in the morning of September
"A, 1887, several fishermen stopped at
the grocery store of Moses Latimore.
They found Latimore's nephew, Irving
easier, dead, with q bullet through his
heart. There was no clew to the muir
derer, and the earnest efforts of the po-
lice to run him down were completely
bafhed. To add to the complications, it
was subsequently known that a young
woman figured in the case.
Some days ago Latimore, who has
heretofore escaped any suspicion of
completely in the murder, began to act
strangely. He seemed to have spectre
fancies and would COVER before imagin-
airy officers of the law Saturday he
saw an officer and was SO unnerved that
no kept repeating to himself that he did
not kill easier

Churchill is out with third letter in

LANCASTER, Pa, April THE cause
of the many failures of farmers this
year is attributed partly to the decline
in the prices of tobacco. When the to-
bacco crop reached $4,000. 900 several
years ago the farmers planted enormous
amounts of it, with the result above
stated. Another causeis the subdivision
of land among many heirs. Present
prices of land also figured in the mat
ter. Men who have given the subject
attention are free to declare that no
man can buy Lancaster County farm
at the old prices, from 500 to $3.50 per
acre IN some districts and from $3.50 to
