ton of Spring Hats and S0hnets.

One of the prettiest sights, and, OF
coi,rse. most attractive to the ladies, in
town is the store windows of Wolfson
Rrothers. at No. $50 Newark avenue. AS
snring is on our heels this e~nterprising
firm has filled their store with a charming
collection of hats and bonnets OF Won
drous beauty and design. In the n
on Newark avenue there are spring
hats to suit the most capricious in
taste. On a figure placed in he window
and dressed in cream Bengaline silk there
is perched a dainty French bonnet OF
gold. trimmed with Chantilly lace, and
even to a man, who is only supposed 10
nav for these articles, it is. extremely
pretty. Inside there is a bewilderlng
collection of hats and bonnets, mowers
and trimmings as varied as one might
see in a days march through New York's
streets. Mr.. Nolfson's polite assistants
point out the elories of these hats, COM
menting on their tstyle and manufacture.
one of these, a French hat, with a black
lace brim and fancy straw crown, with
two large tips dropping, attracts much
attention, and there are others similar.ln
design which some ladies who were criti.

In the recesses of Messrs. Wolfson's
bright looking store is a splendid spring
collection of Dutch. French, Napoleon
and Twentieth Century hats, and as a
speciality for which the firm is justly
noted there are hats of lace and braid
made in this establishment by Messrs.
Wolfson's clever artistes.

AUGUST ZBUGDBR DEAD IS THE ACT INITIATED?
The Wealthy Greenville Hotel
Proprietor Passed Away
Yesterday Afternoon.

August Zeuener one of Greenvilles
best known and wealthiest citizens, died
at three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
after suffering four days from pneumonia
and grip. Mr.. Zeugner was the pro-
prietor of the Be1vedere Hotel at Old
Bergen Point Road and Danforth ave-
nue.. a place which is known throughout
the county on account of the many po-
litical meetings and other big events

1870 when G%reenville was a Township,
the hotel has become a landmark N that
section and through his connection with
the place Mr.. Zeugner became well
known throughout the county.
BUILDS THE HOTEL.
Mr.. Zeugner was born in Germany in
1910 and came to this country in 1860.
He secured employment in Brewster's
carriage factory and by strict attention
to business, accumulated enough money
in ten years to enable him to purchase
the property upon which the hotel now
stands. Work on the hotel was :mmedi-
ately begun. He began to purchase
property until he earned a right to the
title of one of Greenville's largest land
owners. Only two weeks ago he pur-

man." Let US consider this a little. In
the first place. Pete, like many of the per-
sonages of the book in which he appears,
has his composition much affected by a
proceeding on the authors part, which
1 am rather surprised to see not merely
admitted but boosted and extolled by T.
E. Brown, the admirable author of
''Foc's'le Yarns" There is not a Manx

anecdote, a Manx jeet, a Manx situation.

SAVINGS BANK COLLAPSE.
BAD Times and Adverse Legislation
-Naef.ua In Mourning

NASHUA. N. h, March 81. 1885,
Great CONSERVATION was caused here yes
terday by the closing of the Nashua
Savings Bank by order of the Bank Com
missioners. The bank is one of the Oldest
institutions of the kind in the city, in
corporated in 1854. Some of the most re-
liable and esteemed bu5ines men of the
city are at it's head. but no reflection is
made on their mode of ~onductin the
affairs of the institution.
There were nearly $1,000 900 on deposit
and much of this is the savings of work
ing people. The mere tieing up of the
money, even if no loss is sustained, is
sufficient to cause great hardship.
The bank officials give. out the follow
ing statement:-The Nashua Savings
Bank asked the Bank Commissioners to

dation, paying out its deposits and sur

The very large falling off in deposits,
thereby compelling the bank to sell its

imperil the principal of all other deposit

that the praSpnf Wn1T WCDl0 seq a great

desired change has come to the bank
or the country at large, and the constant
agitation of the savings bank question
has worked harm rather than good.
1t is believed that the assets are suffi-
cient to pay the depositors in full, if
time is allowed to convert them to the
best advantage and losses do not occur.

PORTSMOUTH. March q, 1Ss5.-On the

In the store of the Boston Clothing Com

is alleged, some suspicious circum-

the amount of insurance carried on the

held an investigation, but nothing tangi-
BILE could be discovered.
The stock was insured for $500, and
the insurance companies offered TO settle
for Sc, 500, but this proposition the owners
refused. and the Supreme Court was
asked to appoint official appraisers,
which was done. The appraisers have
now placed the loss at $1,000. Yesterday,
however, a man living in this city told
a story which seemed worthy OF inyes,

parties were taken to the police station
