Beautiful showing OF Foreign and DO

Francis Fitzgibbon Is now receiving
daily the very finest productions OF
foreign and domestic workshops, and
any one will find themselves amply re-
paid II they will but call and inspect
the elegant showing OF cloaks. capes.
jackets. suits, skirts and waists. A
large lot of silk waists were received
yesterday, which are pronounced by all
who have seen them to be the most
beautiful ever shown I'm Scranton, and
the prices are very reasonable. His
showing in cotton waists is simply
grand. One waist in particular at 80
cents excels anything heretofore shown

his own waists. is the reason of his
being able to sell at such remarkably
low prices. -

applys very truly to the cloak business.
The whole time and attention of
Francis Fitzgibbon and his manager is

ness. and it is no wonder that his offer
ings excel all others in those little
qualities that go to make up Il perfect
garment. There are a thousand and
one things to he looked after in the Sc
lection of cloaks and suits. and ones
whole time must be devoted to it. The
above house of all the houses in this
city is alone able to devote all it's en-
ergy in securing just the right things

Concluded from Eirst y

neared the head of the stairway the mob
outside became more demonstrative, and
the vast assemblage appeared to be crowd
ing its way into the hall over the police
men, who were at the door trying to keep
the angry gathering out. Mr.. Carlisle and
his escorts did not stop for this. The party
pressed right on, though the mob appeared
to be empowering the officers. Two or
three desperate surges We're made toward
the entrance but the police did not give
way, and were beating back the intruders
with their billies. On the outside the press
urc was greater, but the little knot of citi-
zens and officers pressed through as rapidly
as possible, without any serious Interrupt
ton. Handfulss of sand were thrown into
the midst of the party until they had got
about forty feet from the entrance of
the hall i'll the direction of Scott street,
when JOIN Pagan attempted to assault the
Secretary by throwing a lighted cigar into
the party and making a vicious thrust at
Mr.. Carlisle with some kind of an instru-
ment. The police were too quick for the
assailant and his blow was warded off by
two officers, who threw him into the street.
where he was afterwards picked up and
taken to the station. He was locked up.
but later released, as the officers claim that
there was no charge against him. There
were no more direct attempts to interfere
with the progress of the party on the way
I'D Fifth street in the direction of Garrard,
ard Mr.. Carlisle reached Colonel Helms
rasidence without further molestation."

Watson Still Bitter.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 23.-"Tom'
Watson, of Georgia, Populist Chairman
George w. Washpurn and II. w. Reed, ma
tional Populist committeeman of Georgia,
met in this city to-day and had two long
conferences. Washburn and Reed said
fusion was the object of the conference,
but what was accomplished or whether
agreements were made or agreed to none
of the three prominent politicians would
say. Mr.. Watson would not talk, Mr.. Reed
had nothing to say and Mr.. Washburn said
very little and what he said. he was par
ticular to state, was not to be inferred as
resulting from the conferences held, but
chiefly his own opinion. Mr.. Washburn re-
or had not decided upon anything.
Tonight, to a packed house, MIR. Watson,
of Georgia, defended Populism and the
POpuliSt party, making "a strong speech,
which met with a hearty reception from
the 1,500 people present. He was particular
ly bitter in places and was as severe as
words could be when speaking of vice
presidential candidate Sewall. He charged
him with being a plutocrat, bond clipper,
railroad king and that he was running hand
in hand with the gold bugs and that his
presence on the ticket was a menace to
the election of Mr.. Bryan. The speech was
a stirring, terse appeal for the support of
his party and has renewed the spirits of

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR. Ind. Oct. IA warrant was
sworn out tonight charging Peter Laws.
a colored man, aged forty, with having
committed an outrage on Hazel Stevens, a
nine-year-old white child, OF Oct. 9. The
child has been sick for some time, but did
not say anything 10 her mother of the as
sault. DR.. Keith was called in last night.
and, upon examination, found that the
crime had been committed. The child gave
as a reason for not d%ivulging the secret
that Laws had threatened to kill her if
she ever mentioned it to anyone. The war
rant was placed in the hands of Marshal
Abe Thicksten, who arrested Laws and
placed him in the city Jail. He was seen
after his Incarceration and denied all
knowledge of the crime, claiming that the
little girl, with a few other girls and boys,
were playing in the barn last Saturday a
week ago, and that the little girl was
climbing down d ladder and that he caught
her and lifted her down. Laws has resided
here since May, 1895, and has been training
and Aaron Lloyd. Shortly after his arrest
he was taken before Judge A. I'll. Hoover
and demanded a trial, claiming that he
could prove his innocence. The statement
of the child as also LawS'S statements as
to the time when the child was in the barn
correspond. When the charge was read to
him by the prosecuting attorney Laws said
he was not guilty. AS he was not ready for
trial he was taken back to jail and locked
up. His employers refused to see him or go
on his bond. The arrest on the charge has
caused great excitement, and there is ak
of q lVnching.
