THIS
MORNING
THE
WORLDS
GREAT
JOB SALE
BEGINS.

"JOBS" from all parts of the world.
The result of two weeks steady labor
by five OF our best buyers. los
"JOBS" displayed in our big front
show -window-three times as many
throughout the store. Merchants
call "JOBS" the sweetmeatS of trade.
1t means the class of goods that Inn
porters, Manufacturers or JobberS
sell at positive and acknowledged
loss. They tell you so frankly and
your eyes record the truth. 1t means
to you buying merchandise at SOC or
less on the 81 of their marketable
value. They come from the auction
room, the already and intending
bankrupt. They are given up by the
distressed needy and tottering mer-
chant, who pays dearly for an oppor"
tunity TO proIoDg mercantile life.
Few merchants have coin. We al.
ways have. We buy and sell for
coin. We have goods or money, and
always ready to buy any job offered.
But our friends along the line have it
in their looks or in the fixtures. It's
dulI-very duII-that's what makes
"JOBS"-that's why we have them.
But we want to whoop 1t up and
make room for more. Come and see
this sale to-day. You'll save many
a half dollar on a dollars worth II
you do.

ROBBED BY H|GHWAVMEN
John Carr, a Lumber-Dealer,
Held Up and Relieved
OF $500
Fought Desperately Until Sutdued
by Having Pistol Pressed
Against Him.

WEST HAVERSTRAW, N. Y, Oct.
John Carr, lumber-dealer OF Long
Island City, had a desperate fight with
two highwaymen in this city at $3.50
O'Clock last evening, and as a result OF his
encounter he lost $1,000. Carr had been
making collections at Bridgeport, and
had quite sum when he came to this
place.
He had collected $2640 on check and
started for the station at about 80 o'clock
to catch the o'clock train for New York.
He says he was walking rapidly along the
street when, just as he came to dead wall,
two robbers, one negro and one white
man, stepped out of the shadow and one
of them said: 'Give up or we'll kill you. !"
The lum ber-dealer is plucky and he de-
termined TO fight for his money. He
grappled with the robbers and was max
ing it interesting for them, when the negro
stepped back, and drawing revolver
pressed it against his head. Then Carr
surrendered. The white man took his
wallet while the negro held the pistol to
his chest. After they had secured their
booty the white man said: "If you utter a
word until we are out of sight we will re-
turn and kill you."
Then the robbers fed in the darkness.
When last seen they were going north,
and it is thought took West Shore train
at a way station. Carr made his way to
the station, where he told his story. The
police were at once notified, but the 1um-
ber-dealer was so badly frightened that he
could not give a good description of his
assailants. The place was so dark at
which he was held up, he said, that he
could scarcely see. but he is sure that one
of his assailants was white and the other a
negro.
The Chief of Police at one wired to all
the nearby towns asking them to keep a
lookout for the men. Carr believes that
the robbers must have been watching him
until he was making his collections here,
and it is thought that he incautiously ais
played his money while doing so.

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 1.-The Demo-

claims as to the result of the Georgia
State election, which occurs next week.
They announce that their returns indicate
that the State will be carried by the
Democrats by a safe majority, the mean.
ing OF which is thus stated:
ut will be remembered that in the
present State campaign in Georgia the
Republicans and Populists have fusion
ticket in the field, consequently the Demo-
Gratis will have to overcome the united
strength of both parties. The best posted
Democratic leaders in the State say that a
Democratic majority OF $1,000 will be a
great victory for Democracy and may be
accepted as a criterion for Democratic
ma jority for Bryan in November of not
less than go, QUO to 70. .000."

report that he contemplates retiring from
the Populist ticket To representative
of the United Associated Presses he said
to-day that he had no comment to make

A BAD ACCIDENT.

A painful accident, and one that has
aroused much sympathy from the fact
that the injured man is connected and
well known here, happened at the switch be-
low the upper Boston& Maine engine house
at about $3.50 o'clock Wednesday evening
Engineer Fred Tuthill and Fireman Charles
Corliss had pulled in long freight train
from Windsor and had backed it in on the
long siding. The engine, which was No.
6O4, then backed up on to the turntable,
was turned around in order to be facing
the north, and backed down near the
main track, where it was stopped. Fire
man Corliss then got under the engine to
clean out his ash-pan and to put the en-
CINE in readiness for its next trip out.
While in that position the special train,
bringing the Odd Fellows who had attend
ed the dedication of the Odd Fellows Home
in Ludlow, came in with Engineer Hoyt
and Conductor Obrey, and Stacked up as is
required by the rules of the road.
Engineer Hoyt says some one gave him
the all right signal to come ahead and he
did so.
1t seems that Tuthill's engine had backed
down on the switch too far, so that the
tender protruded several inches over the
main track. Consequently it was struck
by the special and with it drawn backward
far enough to pass over Corliss's left foot,
which was across the rail, crushing it to
the heel. DR.. Ketchum was summoned
and Corliss was taken to Mrs. Kate d.
Cutters on Elliot street. Amputation of
the foot was performed by Drs. Ketchum
and Webster, who took it off at the Joint,
leaving the heel in the hope CT saving it in
shape 70 be of service.
When the collision occurred the freight
engine was crowded against the rails with
such force that the outer one was tipped
over.
The accident shows the danger of the
custom of backing down so near the main
track.
