WORLDS FAIR ATTRACTION.
An Exact Reproduction of the Old Con-
 vent Where Columbus Stopped.

An Exact Reproduction of the Old Con-
 vent Where Columbus Stopped.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The Commit tee on Foreign Exhibits of the Worlds Columbian Exposition have recommend ed the erection at Jackson Park, Chicago, Of an exact reproduction of the old Con- vent of La Rabida, Palos, Spain.
 It will be remembered that this con- vent is more closely associated with the life of Co1umb bus than any other build ing in the world. It Was here that he applied for bread and water for his child, and it was here that he was fur nished shelter for two years while he was developing his theory of a western pas sage to the Indies; and 1t was here that he lived while preparing for the voyage, and in the little chapel attached to the convent he attended mass on the morn ing he sailed. Here, too, he sought refuge again upon his return from the discovery, and here he always found a comfortable and hospitable refuge in the days of his trouble and anxiety.
 It is proposed to make the reproduction exact. It will be of the same dimensions, of similar material, and wherever there is blemish or broken tile in the orig inal they will be reproduced. The work will be done under the direction of Mir. Franklin w. Smith, a wealthy and en- thusiastic amateur architect, who lives in the Moorish villa '"Zorayda," at St. Augustine, Fla, during the winter, and in the Pompeiian villa at Saratoga dur ing the summer
 ME Smith has had more experience in the reproduction of ancient architecture than any other man, and tenders his ser vices without cost to the Exposition.

ELS FIGHT FOR LIFE
Details of the Tragedy at
 CrOtOn Landing.
BAKER IS LIABLE TO DIE.
Anderson is at Present in the Village
 Lock-Up.

Both Men Say that Each Other Pulled His
 Pistol First-The Trouble All Grew Out
 of Family 0uarrel-DIrs. Baker Caused
 the Shooting by Claiming She Was In-
 suited by Anderson.
 SING SING, N. Y., Aug. 3.-Isaac New ton Baker, Col. Robert G. Ingersolps pri- vate secretary, who was shot Saturday evening by Orviile Anderson at Croton Landing, is still lingering between life and death with four bullet holes in his body.
 Anderson is at present in the village lookup, where he gave to-day his reason for the shooting. He said that he was going to the postoff1ce about 4 o'clock, as he usually does, and met Baker soon af- ter he got off the train. Baker stopped him and proposed that they talk over their differences and see if there was not some way of settling their troubles, which were about the apartments of the house they each occupied. While they were talking Mrs. Baker appeared on the scene, and, pointing to Anderson, said that he had insulted her that morning in the hallway. Baker then took up what she said and made motion as If. to get his pistol Anderson says that he noticed him and that he quickly drew his revolver to defend himself. Mrs. Baker then jumped between them.
 Both men said that each other pulled his pistol first, but Anderson was the only one that fired, as Bakers right arm was shattered before he could shoot and his pistol was not discharged.
 Charles c. Fisher, Jr, 8 brakeman, said he was passing after the shooting oc- cured, when Anderson called out to him to take the pistol from Mrs. Baker, who was trying to get possession of it. Ander- son handdA his pistol to Fisher, while he said he had to struggle to get possession of Bakers, who exclaimed:
 My darling, stood to my flag like 8 man."
 His wife answered: "Yes, my dear, this rebel has done you this time"
 Anderson said that on Thursday last they both met in the depot and that Baker spoke in snarling way and made a motion as if to get his pistol. He said he carried pistol ever since.
 The Bakers had lived in New York until last April, when they advertised in the newspapers for rooms in the country, and received an answer from MT. Ander- son, who had leased the mansion called the Moody house. Arrangements were made by which Baker occupied up stairs. Everything went on smoothly until re- gently, when the families began to quar- rel about little things, and sneered at each other in the hall. The dividing of the fruit in the otchard was the most re- cent disturbance.

DREW TWO PENSIONS.
She Was a Widow of an 1S12 Veteran and
 Also Dependent Mother.


 Also a Dependent Mother.
 PoTTsTowN, Pa., Aug. 3.-Mrs. Mary Hastenstine, an aged widow of veteran of the war of 1812, and mother of a soldier for the Union, has become in- volved in a novel legal tangle through drawing two different pensions from the government at the same time. For over half a century she has been receiving liberal pension as the widow of John Hastenstine, who served in the war of 1872, and in addition, since 1879, she has been steadily drawing 8 second pension as the dependent mother of Eli Hasten stine, who fought in the suppression of the rebellion.
 United States pension officials have been here looking up the facts in the case. Mrs. Hastenstine herself admits them. She claims, in defense, that persons whom she trusted informed her prior to 1879 that she was entitled to two pensions, and that she followed their suggestions. The pension officials, wishing to deal leniently, have requested that she refund to the Treasury about 5000 surplusage within three weeks, otherwise the case will be placed in the hands of 8 United States marshal for prosecution.

GAS to what the members of the committee intend to do," replied the Senator, "I have not the slightest idea. do not know of any such arrangement, but nevertheless 1t may be true."
 Mir. Quay was also asked regarding the proposed resignation of Chairman An drews and the selection of his successor, but he claimed to know nothing of the organization of the committee.
 Every one who called at the house asked the Senator about that Washing ton dream, of which he talked in Phila- delphia last week. He then said that he dreamed that "Blaine was coming" This remark, taken in connection with the now we'll known preference of the Senator for the Maine man, was a theme on which every one took occasion to speak. The Senator smiled pleasantly as he simply remarked: Funny dream, wasn't itP"
 Senator Cameron refused 80 talk of his conference with Quay, but from one of the Lancaster politicians, who dropped in and out during the day, it was learned that the two men are in perfect accord in regard to 8 Presidential candidate; that they are both for the same man. It was also learned that Quay and Cameron have arranged for another conference in Washington some time about Sept. 1.
 Senator Quay left for 5 his home in Beaver early this forenoon.

Perhaps you don't quite understand the meaning of "broken lots" as ap- piled to clothing. It means suit not all made up from the same piece of goods. It doesn't mean that the trous- CTS won't harmonize with the coat or that any one of the articles will be out of place when worn with the other. On the contrary, some exceedingly be- coming combinations can be made at prices that astonish the purchaser. Broken lots and shattered prices go together you will find if you call at our store this month and want suit for yourself or boy.
