Policemen and the Patrol Wagon.
Look out JimI' yelled a man on the
Avenue, near the corner OF Thirteenth
street, to his companion, about $50 o'clock
last night. There's an anarchists bomb,
or I'm lying!''
Looking in the direction pointed out by
the man several pedestrians saw on the
pavement, in the shadow OF q tree, what
looked like a lighted bomb One man
bravely stepped forward and saw the fire
gradually creeping along string, which
ended in suspicious looking cylinder.
With an ejaculation he jumped backwards
and then there was scattering in every
direction
policeman, who saw the excitement,
ran toward the corner, where the supposed
internal machine lay, when there was a
flash, folio wed by an ear-splitting report
A dense volume of smoke arose from the
pavement and all expected to see ten
foot hole in the side OF the corner house
Sergt. schilling, five policeman and
the patrol wagon responded TO a call and
the sound of the explosion and found, in
stead of a gaping aperture in the pavement
or building, simply some small pieces Of
red and brown paper scattered over the
street.

AN ENTERPRIsING FIRM.

Mayer a. Pettit's Remarkable Offer
10 Government Clerks.
How quicklya a new concern can leap into
popular favor and build up an enormous
trade by splendid business ability and
legitimate enterprise is shown by the sue
cess OF the house OF Mayer & Petit, 415
Seventh street northwest. This firm may
be considered one o. the leaders in the house
furnishing business in Washington and
not a little or its success may be ascTibed
TO the boIdness and originality of its adver-
tiSing methods, which keeps the firm s
name, as it Were, in eyerbody's mouth.
No one can fail TO be interested in their
latest move, which is announced in their
entire page advertisement contained in
this issue
The advertisement pictures the interior
OF a house, which has been furnished
throughout by Mayer & Petit, and a
parlor dningroom, kitchen and two bed
rooms are shown
The suites OF furniture are portrayed
very realistically, and We can almost
imagine that this house is really being
lived IN and that the occupants have just
kept themselves out of sight whilst the
artist was Sketching each apartment.
The different styles OF furniture shown
illustrate vividly the wide variety carried
by this firm.
Now 10 the purpose Of this advertise
ment, so unique in its conception.
June being the month OF weddings, Mayer
g. Petut have decided 10 make an extra
ordinary offer TO government clerks who
shall be married during the next thirty
days. ana who purchase their furniture
from this house. 1t is this:
The first five government employees in
any OF the departments, one in each, viii
receive free OF charge the complete fur
uiture 10 furnish one room in their house.
The first one married VIII secure the
elegant parlor suite.
The second one married will receive
free the fine daIchanlbers suite.
The third gets the dining room suite
and very handsome one il is.
The fourth may congratulate him or her
self on winning the second bedroom suite
shown.
The fifth VIII secure the entire equipment
of the kitchen, including sideboard, re-
frigerator, etc.
This offer applies equally 10 those fur
nishing on either the cash plan or Mayer
& Petut's popular credit plan.
II VIII doubtless be said that the prices
charged for the furniture purchased viii
be high enough to pay for what is given
free under this offer
This S not SO, for clearly those taking
advantage Of the offer need not mention
chased tie balance OF their furniture, WheI
they can claim their prize.
Mayer & Petit state that their reason
for making such an extraordinarily liberal
proposition as this is that government en-
ployes have been very large supporters
and customers, and that they feel in return
for The patronage they have received from
them, such a generous offer is not out OF
place,
The Times cong ratulates the firm on ifs
enterprise. and also congratulates thos'
ladies and gentlemen who may be doubly
fortunate, both in getting married and
winning one of those valuable Drizes

drawing large amount of comfort from
the fact that the anti-Tammany dele

important financial question, the courage
to express them and the manhood to live
up to them. We go the Inter Mountain

CANON CITY. Colo. Dec. 19.-Aba
Taylor. the murderer of City Marshal
Emerson of Alamosa. was hanged at
the penitentiary tonight. The drop fell
at 7:4O. Taylor retained his nerve till
the last, going to the execution room
with the same quiet demeanor that has
marked the last days of his life.
Taylor was a ranchman living near
Alamosa. Nearly two years ago he
stole a load of oats and with his &C.
complete started to town to sell them.
They were apprehended by the mar
shall. The officer was about to lead the
load to safe place. pending the de-
cision of the controversy, as Taylor
claimed that the grain WAS legally his.
Taylor asSented but the horses baked,
While the marshal's attention was ta-
ken up with the animals, Taylor
climbed upon the box, secured a. Wea-
pom and a duel began, in which the
marshal was killed. The murderer was
caught after a hard chase, and only
what seemed the certainty of convic-
ton and hanging saved him from be-
ing 1ynched. He had a. trial and was
promptly convicted and sentenced to bs
hanged.
The case was twice reviewed by the
supreme court. the Judgment of tha
lower court being affirmed.
The execution was without a hitch.
The automatic gallowS had been care
fully tested and it worked to perfee-
ton. Taylor's neck was broken

MT. House. counsel for Miss Aub. s11g-
gests mat the court appoint a commits
sion to inquire into the mental condition
OF the girl. He had, he said, arrived so
Tar at no definite conclusion in the case
He had some private facts about the
girls case which he would submit to The
court. Mr.: House also asked that no one
be allowed to see the prisoner in the
toonlbs.
Colonel Fellows said that he had in
tended to move that the girl be discharg-
ed on her own recognizance had not the
new phase caused by her recent recanta-
ton, appeared. He asked that bail be
fixed at $1,000. Barbara, he said, was the
victim of fool friends
Judge Cowing paid no attention to the
request for Il commission on lunacy or
about her not seeing her friends in the
toombs. He fixed the bail at 81 900. After
being returned to the toombs, Miss Aub
sent notes to her counsel and Assistant
District Attorney Townsend, asking them
to come to her. She also said that she
wanted to see reporters some time dur
ing the day, but not while the Rev. Mr..
Lewis was with her. She sent word
from her cell requesting the newspapers
to deny for her the statement of Colonel
Hare, Langerman's lawyer, to the effect
that she was a professional blackmailer
and a lewd woman.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-The Re
publican Senate caucus committee, af-
ter a prolonged session today express
sed the opinion that they would be
able to report the Republican member
ship OF the Senate committees to the
Republican caucus on Monday. The
days developments make it altogether
likely that the appropriations commit
tee will be enlarged to twelve members
in order to make room for Senators
Quay, Pettigrew and Perkins, of Cali
lorna.
Senator Stewart, who was formerly
Stat for membership in the apprO-
priations committee as Populist,
probably viii not get the place, but
will become chairman of the commit
tee on Pacific railroads.
Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina,
is to be chairman of the committee on
civil service and retrenchments.
The proposition of the young bloods'
to push the reorganization of the SEN
ate through prior to the Christmas holi-
days has met with opposition from
the older Republican senators, who re-
call that they resisted ante-Christmas
organization of the Senate when the
Democrats last gained control, and
should the Democrats show disposi-
ton to resist hasty rganization, the
matter will probably go over until after
the holidays. The committee report will
be presented and adopted before an
attempt is made to elect the Senate
officers
