A Heavy Transaction.

One of the largest deals known in Bos-
ton for years was consumated the 10th
inst. whereby the entire stock of the
wholesale Clothing House of Thompson
Willis and Newgent passed into the hands
of Fisk & Goff at an appraised valuation
of $3.50, 900.
When you take into consideration that
thse figures scarcely represent the cost of
raw material used in the manufacture of
the goods You can form some idea of the
magnitude of the deal and the quantity
of merchandise involved as well as the
amount of push and business energy
necessary to successfully handle stock
of such enormous proportions; they pro-
pose to divide the stock among their
branch stores adding only small per-
centage to original cost to cover expense
Of handling. An immense invoice of
this fine clothing has already been re-
ceiyed at Uncle Sans Clothing company
the announcement of the sale of which
is in this issue. We should recommend
to anyone in want of clothing an in
spection of this stock.

HIS BODY FOUND.
Young Turner Was Found Where the
Canoe Was First Seen.

The PRESS yesterday morning gave
the particulars of the absence from home
of young Philip B. Turner, and the
finding of his canoe, coat and oars on the
Stroudwater river and expressed the fear
that he was drowned
At half past three yesterday morning a
search party, consisting of the bows
father, John G. Turner, George W.
Bailey James Doyle and W. Green went
to the scene of the accident, and hiring
rowboat at the village, proceeded to the
spot where the canoe was first seen. At
this point the river is very treacherous,
in some places being only three or four
feet deep, while there are holes around
containing from fifteen to twenty feet of
water, and after dragging the river for
considerable time. at last came upon the
body in a deep hole, only a few yards
from the bank. This was between seven
and. eight O'Clock. The face of the dead
boy was calm and placid, and there seems
to have been not a struggle, the fingers
being bent just as in the position of hold
ing the paddles. There was bruise on
his nose, and above the right eye, but
this, in all probability, was caused when
he came in contact with the bottom of
the river.
The canoe was his own property and
only last Monday he took it out to
Stroudwater. Since then he has only
used it three times, on Monday and We'd
nesday afternoons taking friends with
him, and yesterday morning was the first
time he had gone alone
The remains were brought to the city
and Coroner Perry notified, who CON
sidered an inquest unnecessary. Much
sympathy is expressed for the family
Young Turner had hosts of friends and
was fine young man.
The death of young Turner is the
fourth consecutive death among the boys
and young men by drowning of the
Second Parish Sunday school. The others
were young Cousens and Merrill in 1890,
and Walter Soule the present year.

WAsHBuRN's CIRCUS.
1t Was Rather Limited But Had Some
Very Good Points About 1t.

Washburn's circus, though not very
elaborate, in its procession or menagerie
displays, had several good features in its
arena exhibition, and on the whole was
well worth going to see. The menagerie
was very limited indeed but some baby
lions and the baby elephant were interest
ing.
There were two rings, but only one was
used most of the time and this was a
comfort for the people are getting wearied
of the bewildering multiplicity of
wonders going on at the same time in the
great three ring circuses.
The big elephant was we'll trained, but
the horses and horsemanship were of a
very tame order of excellence. The best
features of the exhibition were the
Japanese athletes and the two tumblers
and horizontal bar athletes. Among the
splendid feats Of these latter two were the
standing of the smaller upon the head of
the larger balanced on his two hands
with his feet uppermost; also he stood on
his head on the uplifted hand of the
larger man, magnificent feat of strength
by the latter as he must have thus sup
ported in one hand weight of at least
170 pounds. The final feat was something
seldom seen, if ever before in circuses
that have come here. The smaller man
stood on his head on top of the head of
his companion, who thus carried him
around the ring and almost out of the
tent. 1t was a strange spectacle, these
two men, head to head; the one upside
down with outspread arms and legs, the
other right side up and walking about
with his strange burden.
