A Few Facts-No Humbug.

From their remarks, it would look
as though some Of our Christian
friepds(?) were trying to make the
people believe that Bankrupt
Sale meant a disposing Of lot
of sboddy goods, odds and ends, etc.
We want to inform the people,
however, that the stock lately owned
by e. j. Davey is composed Of good,
fresh and reliable goods, and we are
selling everything lover than our
esteemed friends can bay them, even
if they have the necessary cash.
This stock was sold on chattle mort
gage sale aud was purchased for a
little more than fifty cents on the
dollar, hence you can see why we
can sell at the prices we do.

convinced.

She Got a Bargain.

A women in whose company the
scribe recently found himself was
relating with some pride an instance
of her own shrewdness. She re-
marked as a sort of preface TO her
story that any one who wanted to
get the best of her would have to
be an early riser. She said: "I
wanted a cloak in the worst way,
/ didn't want cheap, common
looking one, and | did not want to
pay for an expensive one. SO one
snowy day | started out to look at
cloaks in all the best stores. OF
course they didn't bother me when
| said I'm only looking and |
wandered around at my own sweet
will. There was one-not very
expensive, but nobby and awfully
pretty-that just suited me, I'M

up for more complete examination

thought | ought to pay for the
damage doue, while really could
not afford it. Pretty soon clerk
came around and / asked him the
price of it. That's $500, said he,

$500, and by taking the garment |

my conscience. Besides it was
lovely cloak for the money. The

tried TO poison Herr, although eventually
he was induced to pay the latter what he
owed him.
The letter requests three weeks grace in

THE ORLEANIST PROGRAM.
Formulated by the Count de Haussonvill
the Monarchist Leader.

Formulated by the Count de Jacksonville.
the Monarchist Leader.
PARIS, Jan. 20.-The Count de Hausson-
vile, leader OF the Monarchist party and
general representative OF the Count dc
Paris, has formulated the Orleanist pro-
gram in long letter to Edward Herve,
editor of the Soleil.
After drawing dark picture OF the cor
ruption revealed by the Panama investi-
cation and the consequent CONSERVATION
among the true friends OF France, he de-
nies the charges that the Monarchists
have tried TO aggravate the scandal.
lie says the role OF conspirator Is con-
genial neither to himself nor to any OF his
friends. Nobody can doubt that the time
has come when a strong hand and strong
will are needed at the head of the French
people. The attention OF the nation at
large, however, Is absorbed by the men OF
the government now in power. All hav-
ing to lose are alarmed by the socialist
war now waged against capital. The gov
ernment has no power TO stem this move
ment. The Monsrchists ought to assume
the leadership and direction OF public
opinion in this emergency.
When the people OF France shall tire OF
the republic, the Monarchist party will
be ready to defend the cause OF law end
order, TO drive back the enemies OF society
and TO place the institutions OF Frsnce
upon enduring foundations.

THREE KILLED, MANY INJURED.
A Stalled Train on the Pennsylvania Road
Telescoped by an Express.


JERSEY CITY, N. j., Jan. 2o.-A train
bound for Newark on the Pennsylvania
railroad broke down last evening on the
meadows Just beyond the Hackensack
river.
The signal agent, supposing the train
had gone beyond his block, signalled TO
following, that the road was clear.
The express crashed into the stalled
train, completely telescoping 1t.
Three persons were killed outright, and
Is were wounded none seriously.
Signal Agent June could not be found
last night. The police have sent out a
general alarm for his arrest. When the
train bound for Newark stopped a brake
man was sent back with red lantern,
which he waved, but the engineer OF the
express did not notice him.
The crash, when the express struck the
local, could be heard for great distance.
The engine OF the express ploughed into
the last car of the local, for twenty feet
ripping 1t open as il it were cardboard
box.
The force Of the collision drove the next
coach ahead into the rear OF the coach di-
rectly before it, for ten feet. After the
collision train bound from Newark to
New York smashed into the wreckage.
BY miracle this third train was no;
wrecked and no one on board was hurt.
After the collision there was scene oi
the widest excitement. There were heard
the screams OF frightened men, women
and children, and the groans and cries OF
the wounded.

MOBS IN BRUSSELS.
Unemployed Men Addressed by Anarchist
Agitators.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 90 Yesterday after
noon 800 unemployed men gathered near
the Place de la Constitution and were ad =
dressed by several anarchist agitators.
The speakers told the men that the city
belonged to the workers, and exhorted
them to take all the food and clothes they
needed from the shops.
The men raised the cry "To the Bourse." I"
About dozen men drew bundles of red
flags from under their coats and distrib-
uted them, and the mob started down
the Avenue du Midi, waving the flags and
shouting against the capitalists.
AT the Place Rouppe seven gendarmes
tried to stop the mob, but they were
thrown down and beaten before they
could draw their swords. A call for rein
forcements was sent TO the central police
station and sixty gendarmes reached the
Bourse just as the foremost men in the
mob were mounting the steps.
The gendsrmes drew their sabres and
ordered the mob to disperse. The men
still pushed their way up the steps. The
gendarmes then charged, cutting right
and left. The workingmen fought back
with clubs and stones. Several gendarmes
were slightly wounded and many work
ingmen were cut. After ten minutes
struggle the rioters were dispersed.

BosToN, Jan. 20.-Asa p. Potter is not
ready to go to trial on the indictment
charging him with false certification,
which was set down for trial by jury on

THE GL0RY0F HIS FAME.
M. Barbour Opens for Defence in
Panama Canal Trial.
HIS SPEECH A MASTERPIECE.
De Lesseps Was Eulogized as n Man of
the Highest Character-Arton's Extra
dition VIII BE Demanded-He Is
Said to be In London.

PARIS, Jan. 20.-Public interest in the
Panama trial is evidently increasing as
the case draws to a close.
Yesterday the defence opened, and the
court room was packed with people anx
ious to hear Maitre Bsrboux's speech in
opening the case for his clients. So dense
was the crowd that there was not even
standing room in the court.
At quarter OF one o'clock the. defence
was directed to proceed. Maitre Barbour
at once arose. He was very nervous but
held himself well under restraint. In a
few words he complimented the court
upon the fairness OF its rulings in the case
and then dashed into an exposition OF his
line Of defence.
He argued voIubly and at much length
that IL was not alone moral conditions
that had led to the arrest and prosecute ION
of the accused. Political considerations,
he declared had much to do wit h the pros.
ecution, and he emphatically insist ed tha,
the men he was defending should not be
made scapegoats for the advantage OF any
party or faction, or to advance the designs
OF ambitious men. He maintained that
the probity of his clients was in no wise
affected by the indictment on which they
were standing trial.
X, VI.
the construction OF the Panama canal was
far removed from speculative aims. In its
inception and progress the scheme had an
honorable foundation, though speculation
arose from Il.
NJ. Barboux eulogized NJ. Ferdinand de
Lesseps as a man OF the highest character.
So keen was his sense OF honor that after
appearing before Magistrate Prinet at the
opening OF the inquiry,
He Was Overwhelmed.
For two months he had not left his bed,
and during that time he had not uttered
. word. Had the great Frenchman been
able to have appeared in court the whole
audience would have risen to salute the
the glory of his fame.
Maitre Barboux gave full vent to his or.
atory In recounting the many struggles OF
NJ. Ferdinand de Lesseps, and laid partic-
ular stress upon his statement regarding
M. de Lesseps' contest with Great Britain
over the Suez canal. He then proceeded
to examine into the duties OF responsible
ties OF the directors OF the company which
he declared had been faithfully and cor
rectly carried out.
He dealt with charges against NJ. de
Lesseps and endeavored to show that they
were unfounded. In concluding his speech
he declared that the heavy outlays made
on behalf OF the company were fully justi-
fed, and he proposed to prove that public
opinion on this matter had been misled.
When Maitre Barbour had finished, the
court adjourned till Tusdsy.
NJ. Barboux's speech was masterpiece
OF oratory. His words could not be con-
strued as admitting i'm the sligh htest degree
anything derogatory to the characters or
methods OF the men he was defending.
IL was listened to by many prominent
lawyers, and at its conclusion NJ. Barbour
was complimented by his legal colleagues.
Charles de Desseps was much overcome by
the tributes paid him and his father by
