A GENUINE SURPRISE
Kaufmanns' New Ladies' Muslin Underwear
Department Astonishes the Ladies'.

Kaufmanns' New Ladies' Muslin Underwear
Department Astonishes the Ladies'.
If there are any ladies in Pittsburg or AL
legheny who doubt the success of Kauf-
mauns' latest addition-the muslin under
wear department-they should have seen the
rushing business Yesterday Two large ele-
vators were taxed to their utmost to convey
their human freight to the third story, where
the now celebrated white fair" is in prog
rsss. But 1t is safe to say that not one lady
left the store disappointed. Among the goods
which attracted the most purchasers were the
following: Good muslin gowns, with CAM
brio ruffles or ~orchon lace, at 59c. Extra
fine quality muslin gowns, trimmed with
fine Hamburg insertings and edges or with
TOrchon laces at CSC. Good muslin skirts,
with 9-inch cambria tucked ruff1es and clus-
ter of tucks above, at SOC. Fine III usin skirts,
with 4-Ihch cambric tucked ruffles, edged
with 4-inch real Torchon lace. 6 tucks above
ruf1e, at only 81. Hundreds OF good muslin
chemises and drawers, plain, tucked or
trimmed with narrow Torchon lace, at only
zoe. Fine cambric corset covers, low or
high neck, trimmed with Hamburg edge, at
only 25c. Five hundred fine cambria corset
covers, surplice front and back. trimmed
with. ine Hamburg embroidery edge and
beading, at only 39c. All of the foregoing
prices, as most ladies know, are from 25 to
30 per cent below dry goods and notion store
figures. This being the case, who can won
der at the big success of Kaufmanns' new
muslin underwear department.?

BUYING FOR SPECULATION.

Postmaster Cowden Thinks West Virginia
VIII Be Republican in 1892.
Postmaster J. W. Cowden, of Wheeling,
for 16 wears Chairman of the Republican
State Committee of West Virginia, was at
the Monongahela House yesterday seeing
some local business associates. "Politics in
my State" he said, ''are very quiet at
present. Everybody is looking forward to
1892. The Democrats carried the State at
the last election, but their vote was great
deal smaller than in 1888. The Rapubli-
cans were not organized and did not

wants it. The Republicans have also had a
very warm feeling and respect for John
Sherman.

the Eastern men buy to hold the
property, and sell out at future time with
profit. They seldom go in to develop the
territory. The Pennsylvania ehuyers are
different. This is good coal State, and the
people are practical and know the money in
this product. A number of people from the
Keystone State are operating mines and tax
ing out lumber in West Virginia. These
are the kind of people we want"

A WARNING FROM PATTIsoN.

He Notifies the People He Must Have vouch-
ers for Money Spent.
"The boys will have to walk chalk line
during this session of the Legislature" re-
marked a prominent Republican. with a
twinkle in his eye, yesterday. Governor
Pattison, am told, has already notified the
clerks of the House and the Senate, as we'll
as the heads of departments, that he must
have vouchers for every cent of money ex-
pended. As result of this order several
clerks, who were drawing pay and doing lit
tie work, have already walked the plank in
one department.
''The practice has been during the past to
take care of some of the best workers by
giving them easy positions and paying them
out of the contingent fund. 1 could name
several people from this part of the State
who held clerkships under the last Legisia-
ture. They went down and took the oath at
the opening and never went near the Capitol
until the close, when thev drew 500 apiece
for doing nothing. Governor PattIson is
aiming at these fellows when he asks for
vouchers. There is weeping and wailing in
some quarters, but there is no help for it,
and some Of the workers during the cam
paign must 60 unrewarded."

JUST ONE TOO MANY.

An Indianapolis Drummer Married an
Allegheny Girl When He Had Wife
and Two Children Already-To Be
Tried Here for Bignmy.
J. j. Finney, chief of the West Penn
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad de-
tective force, will leave for Indianapolis
this evening to bring Solomon Selig, alias
Jacob Langdon, to this city, where charges
of bigamy will be entered against him.
Selig is drummer employed by Kirchs-
baum Brothers, a Philadelphia clothing
firm; he is about 40 years OF age, and has a
wife and two children living. Three years
ago he met Miss Kate T. Milan in Indian
apolIs, where she. was residing with her
mother and brother, Frank Milan, who is a
Pullman conductor. Shortly after the
family moved to this city. and on the 7th OF
October, 1888, Selig was married to Miss
Milan by Aldermen McNulty.
The couple resided together for about a
week, when Selig, who then was passing
under the name OF Langsdon, went away, as
Milan heard of him for q long time. She
continued to write to him at various ad-
dresses, but always without reply.
Frank Milan has been looking for Selig
ever since, and at length succeeded in To-
eating him in indianapolis. He then found
that Selig was already married and had a
family. With the assistance OF Mr.. FInney,
extradition papers were obtained, and, as
stated, Selig win be charged here with COM
mitting bigamy in Allegheny county.
7. NJ. Marshall has been retained by the
family, who are now living at No. z Bal
kan street. Allegheny. Miss Milan, when
seen last night, narrated the circumstances
under which she met Selig. She had no
suspicion he was married, and believed in
him to the time no answers were returned to
her letters. She says she was engaged to
him ior year prior to the marriage. She
first met him in Indianapolis, when she was
living there with her mother and sister.

Select Councilman Lambie Urged to Run
for State Senator.
II is rumored about the Court House, as
well as within City Hall, that John S. Lam
bic will be pressed by friends for the Repub-
licau nomination for State Senator, to sue
ceed Mr.. John Upperman. Mr.. Mambie has
long been associated with Major A. NJ.
Brown in the law business. and Tor IA years
has been member of Select Council from
the Eighth ward. In the municipal legis-
lature Mr. Lam5le has rendered efficient
services, and his weight there has been of
great public good.
1t is true that at this session of the Legis,
lature new Senatorial apportiontment will
be made, and a number of members added
to the list from this county, but the district
wherein Mr.. Lambie resides will undoubt-
edly be included in the downtown or busi-
ness portion OF the city, from which the
ablest man obtaInable ought to be had. The
present Forty-third district, represented by
Mr. Cpperman for years, comprises the
First to the Fifteenth wards, inclusive, and
tue Twenty-Ihird ward.

TOOK THE WRONG LADY.
A Young Man Who Got Mixed on His
Theater Partner.

A Young Man Who Got Mixed on His
Theater Partner.
A comedy of errors" in one act was
enacted on the Southside the other evening.
Two young men of Castle Shannon brought
their young ladies in to the -theater, and
after the play boarded the same Street car to
return to the depot. Evidently they were
engaged in an animated conversation, and
neither party noticed the other. When
they left the car at the incline, matters got
slightly mixed, one of the young men start
ing up tn. steps to the incline station with
the wrong lady, but as it was dark he did
not discover the error. When they passed
under the electric light each saw the mis-
take, and look OF CONSERVATION spread
over their faces that was painful to behold.
For a moment each could not imagine
how the magical change had occurred, but
the other couple came laughingly forward
and explained matters. They had been in
terested spectators of the little scene, and
probably enjoyed that as much as the other
comedy OF the evening.

NO DANGER OF REMOVAL.

Presidents Have no Desire to Cut Down
the Force of Agents.
William NJ. Clark, Commercial Agent of
the Missouri Pacific road, went East yester-
day. Mr.. Clark said he did not anticipate
any change in the agencies as a result OF the
Presidents Association. "No road" he
said, will remove an agent while its COM
petltors are represented. II the agents were
cut down simultaneously by all the lines in
pIace, then it might succeed, but the ship
pers have become SO accustomed to solicita-
ton Tor traffic that it will take long time
to change the order of things. If a
man has freight to ship, he is not going out
TO hunt up the freight men, and tine agent
on the spot is the one that will secure the
traffic.
When in New York a week ago saw
some OF the vice presidents, and told them
that the boys throughout the country were a
little apprehensive of their positions. They
laughed at the idea, and assured me that it
would be long time before changes were
made, il, indeed, any would be made finally.

quainted with the details OF the business
