A WONDER IN COMMERCEl
How Enterprise Makes Dull Times Live

How Enterprise Makes Dull Times Lively!
1t is safe to presume no commercial event
of any kind that has of late years transpired
in this city has attracted such widespread
attention as the offering of j. Kaufman &
Bros, the clothers, Fifth avenue and
Smithfeld street, to sell anv mans suit or
overcoat in their stock for SIS. True, SINH
lar offers have been made before, at bank
rupt or fire sales. for instance, but owing to
the unsavory reputation of these sales they
caused no excitement whatever, the public
giving them wide berth. When
an old, reliable and prominent
house like Kaufmanns', however,
makes an offer Of the kind it is quite diff
ferent manner. This opinion seems to have
been shared by the many hundreds of men
who crowded Kaufmanns' suit and over
coat departments yesterday. Many made
their selections from styles displayed in the
large corner windows, while others wan
dered from table to table. looked at pile
after pile until they found the garments of
their choice. There. is no restriction
placed on any part of the stock.
The customer is at liberty to take
his choice from the $50, $2S
or s25 tables, if he wants to.
The uniform price for all is S15 no matter
how fine or expensive the goods may be.
At the same rate as these 'overcoats or suits
were bought yesterday, but very few will re-
main on Kaufmanns' counters at the close
of the sale next Saturday. Among the
goods sold yesterday were choice and fash
ionable $50, S2s, S27, S26, S25 and S24 gar
ments; they are the finest in Kaufmanns'
stock, which means the finest that can be
found in the city. In no instance was
customer required to pay more than fifteen
dollars. Big crowds are expected to crowd
Kaufmanns' clothing rooms next week.

THE DISTRICT COURT VACANCY.
Its Possibility Brings Mr.. Fetterman Out
With Others Mentioned.

Its Possibility Brings Mr.. Fetterman Out
With Others Mentioned
Interest in the succession to Judge Ach-
eson's place on the United States District
Bench, in case of his appointment to the
Circuit Court, heightens. 1t is felt locally
that the Allegheny county bar should fur
nish the successor. Positive announcement
was yesterday made of the candidacy of Mr..
Charles S. Fetfernan. Mr.. Fetterman was
strongly backed for the position as long ago
as 1877, but when Judge Acheson was then
named, withdrew in his favor. The convic-
tion that Mr.. Acheson will be promoted
seems to be strong, and Mr.. Fetterman has
again decided to present his claims for the
prospective vacancy. His long experience
in politics involves an acquaintance which
is expected to have influence with the Sena-
tors and Congressman. while his pleasant
relations with the bar OF this and surround
ing counties also gives weight to his candi-
dacy.
1t was also reported yesterday that J. H.
Reed, Esq, has decided to enter the lists,
and that formal application in his interest
would soon be prepared. There are several
judges through the Western counties whose
names likewise have been mentioned, but
locally there is belief that as Judge Ach-
eson was an Allegheny county man. this
bar is likely to furnish the successor in case
he is promoted.
President Harrison yesterday formally ac-
cepted the resignation of Judge McKennan,
as United States Circuit Judge of the
Third Judicial district of Pennsylvania.
