Along about midnight he fell IN with
several other colored persons and a
couple of white men, and the whole
party went to Morrison livery stable
They had an abundance of whlskey'
and it is said that at the urging Of the
white men the negroes drank whiskey
as if it were water. Brown and John
Smith drank until they fell in their
tracks, and then the party oroke up
The two senseless men were dragged
into stall. By morning Smith was
able to get up and go away, but he
could not arouse Brown. About 9 or
10 o'clock the stertorous breathing OF
the still unconscious man, who could
not be aroused, attracted attention,
and it was found that he was in a dy-
ing condition. DR.. Butler was called
in, but he was unable to do anything
for the man, as he was too far gone.
He was carried to the jail and made
as comfortable as possible, and at D
o'clock he died Justice D. S. Rentch
held an examination next morning,
but decided that an inquest was I'M
necessary. Monday Brown was buried
in the potter s-feld.

The snow fell with such persistence
during the latter part Of the day that
by night the ground was white. Yes
terday morning when people woke up
there was four inches of 1t upon the
ground, while trees and shrubbery
were loaded with it. 1t was an ex-

One of the Largest Furniture Houses

The prudent housewife is more than ever
inclined to save money while she spends
money, and to do this she requires a thor
ough knowledge of the market prices of arti-
cles which she wishes to purchase. So far as
her outlay in house furnishings is concerned,
she has found a ready educator in the inn
mems Newark furniture house of "Can-
non's." Since last summer this firm has
been q constant advertiser in u columns,
and has from week to week presented to our
readers accurate Illustrations and faithful
descriptions Of furniture and household
goods, giving prices for the same that are
apt to make competitors vince.
"Cannon'so have more floor space than any
other furniture house in New Jersey, crowded
with reasonable articles in every desirable
grade. They nave endeavored during the
past few months to prove by plain state
ments of fact that their prices are as low as
the lowest-often lower; that their selection
of goods is unlimited; that the quality of the
same is irreproachable. For over thirty yeal
they have conducted a business carried for
ward on the plan of making every new Gus
toner a continuous one and a close friend of
the house. Their advertisements are writ
ten as pledges with the public. and as such
are always kept faithfully. When a picture
appears of a chair, or table, OF any article
of Furniture, the public may depend upon
its being an accurate reproduction, for all
of these 'cuts" are made directly from a

nouncements will bear close and constant
scrutiny, for there will be frequent changes,
detailing the periods of special sales in the
different departments, INT it is quite i'm
probable that the prospective buyer will not
profit many dollars by scanning them.

TREEPLANTINGI IN AFLoRIDA TOWN

Tree planting on the streets at Orlando,
Fla, is encouraged by a bounty of fifty
cents for each tree in good condition after
one year of growth. The work is being done
under an ordinance passed two years ago.
1t provided that the variety to be planted
must be the water oak, in size not less than
2 inches in diameter at a point 2 feet above
the ground. The trees must be not less
than 10 feet in height, and they are
to be set out at stated distances
apart and z feet from the street bound
OF the adjacent lot. Thirty days after plant
ing the trees are inspected by a committee,
and for each one in good condition twenty
five cents is paid in city warrants upon the
treasury. At the end of the year a similar
sum is paid if the tree still fotr1shes. Larger
trees may be planted by che property own
ers, provided they are uniform in size, but
the city pays no more for them. There
seems to be no difficulty in finding men who
are willing to make contracts with property
owners to put out and care for the trees,
assuming all risks, and relieving the owners
of the labor and care.
