The Matchless Display of Go, d Made by a
Local Firm.
The store room of Milligan, Wilkin
e Co., which is so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is used,
never presented a more attractive ap-
pearance than at present. In anticipa-
ton of a record-breaking holiday BUSH
ness, the firm has stocked its music
rooms with the handsomest line of
pianos, organs and other instruments
ever brought 70 the city.
Certainly NO wider range of special
features, suiting the tastes of the most
eXacting musician, can be found any
where than in the instruments made by
the celebrated houses of Knabe, Stulz
& Bauer HUFFMAN, and Capen. Mil
ligan, Wilkin & Co. are sole agents here
for these instruments, and they justly
claim to have the best line exhibited
anywhere. They are also agents for
several organs which are the acknowl-
edged favOrites of music-iovers. The
line Of smaller instruments, sheet mu-
sic and musicians sundries, embraces
everything, and this fact is acknowl-
edged and appreciated by thousands
Of persons who know that they can find
anything they want at Milligan, Wilkin
& Co.'S.
During the few years of its existence
the firm of Milligan, Wilkin & Co. has
steadily advanced until to-day it is rec
ognized as the leading music house Of
West Virginia. This could only be ac-
complished in the face OF such sharp
competition by courteous treatment
honest business methods, and the gen.
uine merit of the goods sold. Those
who have had dealings with the firm
need not be directed to the place to
buy musical instruments for holiday
gifts, others will consult their own in
terests by calling at Milligan, Wilkin
& Co.. s.

Majority against ordinance. ........-.oS3
The Gay was an ideal one for an cleo
tion-cool and bracing. without rain,
and there was great popular interest
from the start. The polls were all
opened on time. and there was a very
good proportion of the total number of
ballots cast before noon. From twelve
TO half-past one o'clock voting was par
ticulariy lively and then there was the
usual slack until five o'clock in the
evening. when balloting recommended,
ana probably eight hundred votes were
cast in the city curing tie last hour the
polls were open. TIE drift was stead
lily against the ordinance from the very
first. and at noon in some Of the wares
the ballots were estimated at from two
to orc to four to one against the meas
urs, the latter in the Fiji ward. After
noon the Republicans, whipped up by
the party leaders, came ont stronger.
but the people generally met this at
tempt to carry the ordinance through
with determination that it should not
win. and at three o'clock the result was
certain, and at five O'Clock the fact
that the ordinance was defeated
was admitted upon every side. At the
City Hail as early as three o'clock it
was admitted that the Jig was UP"
and SOME of the city officials had cor
respondingly long faces.
The Interest was great at some Of the
polls, particularly in the market house
precinct of the Second ward, on the ISL
and. aid in the Third and Fourth
wards. At the market house there were
nearly bne hundred interested parties
at one O'Clock. and about half-past one
a dispute about the ordinance arose be-
tween Col. Morris Horkheimer. the

A FULL REPORT
Of the Brutal Treatment of Private Hammond
 Received at Washington.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Seeretary Alger today received the report of an inquiry conducted by Captain Richards into the alleged brutal treatment of Private Hammond by Captain Lowering at Fort Sheridan some days ago. Captain Rich ards examined number of persons, n- icluding- Captain Lowering and Ham, mond. The testimony of these two wit nesses, Secretary Alger says, agree al- most entirely, except that Hammond charged Captain Lowering kicked and ljabbed him with his sword more times than the latter admits also that Ham, mond declares the captain swore at him, which the latter denies.
 The statement of Captain Lowering agrees substantially with that he has made in public and newspaper inter- views. The testimony of other witnesses is corroborative of the main facts in the case. That of the surgeon who made an examination of Hammond was to the effect that there were some very snSnt Woubos, put HVt Heafiy as se- riously as the private claimed.
 Colonel Hall, the commandant at Fort Sheridan, practically endorses the ac- ton taken by Captain Lowering in the case.
 Secretary Alger had a, consultation with the president about tbe matter today and will consult further with him about it tomorrow.

IS MRS, LUETGERT ALIVE
Was the Main Argument of At-
 torney Vincent. IF THERE IS ROOM FOR DOUBT The Defendant Should Be Liberated, But if He Is Guilty Give Him All He Deserves
 Wants No Compromise.

Chlica go, Oct 14-The flood of ora tory contfnued in the Luetgert trial today, and it will last for two days longer. Attorney Phalen, for the defense, con- cluded his address after speaking two hours this morning, and then Attorney Vincent began the closing address in be- half of the defendant. The chain point fin his argument today was to raise in the minds of the jury a doubt as to whether Mrs. LuetgerH is really dead. He admitted that she had disappeared but insisted that 1t had not been shown beyond all doubt that she was dead. Having spent much time in trying to create the doubt in the minds of the jury he insisted that there should be mo halfway measures in the verdict. If Luetgert was guilty of this crime he deserved all that the law could mete out 10 him. but if he was not guilty be- yonid all doubt The should be set free.
 Mir. Vincent insisted that the case was not one of compromise in the verdict. It would not do to sentence the prisoner 10 the penitentiary, because it was just possible that the woman might turn up some day. If the jury believed that there was any likelihood of her turning up at any later day. it was their busl- ness to acquit the prisoner now. MT. Vincent will speak all of tomorrow.

TOBACCO TO BURN
 AND IT BURNED The Celebrated Town Of Durham, N. c.,

BY A DISASTROUS BLAZE
AND THEN ATTACKED DWELLINGS

Charlotte. N. C., Oct 14.-A special to the Observer from Durham says Seven tobacco warehouses and eight cottages entailing a loss of about s40e,OOO, with $200,000 insurance. It was the most de- structive fire this town has known since the big blaze of 1885.
 The fire originated in the top story of one of the double prize houses on Nor gan street, occupied by H. J. Bass. When the department reached the scene the top was a seething mass of flames. The fire soon spread to the prize house adjoining, which was separated from the above by an archway. The devour- ing element soon had complete sway over this building. This house was also occupied by H. J. Bass.
 The following are the places destroyed.
 | NO pilzS IOOHiS, UeIOuSlHS lO D. I. Duke. occupied by H. J. Bass.
 Two prize rooms belonging to G. J. Watts on Fuller street, occupied by the American Tobacco company.
 One prize room on Randolph street, owned by Manning 6 Morgan, occupied by the American Tobacco company, $40,000 insurance on the building.
 One prize room owned by W. B. Duke, occupied by the American Tobacco com pany.
 Ono dwelling owned by W. B. Duke, coupled by W. L. Armstrong.
 Two dwellings owned by Will New ton, occupied by MT. High and a MT. Maynard.
 The red prize room belonging to the Newton estate, occupied by Blackwelrs Durham Tobacco company.
 Three dwellings belonging to L. w. Wise, occupied by Charles Chandler, Whit Taylor. and Charles Copeland
 Two other dwelling houses owned by Mrs. Ramsey.
 The American Tobacco company had about 2,500.000 pounds of tobacco in it's three houses. At this writing it is inn possible to say what their loss will be.
 w. T. Darlington had about 500, 900 pounds of tobacco; $2O, 900 insurance.
 About 100 hogsheads of tobacco were saved. Three of Raleighs fire com panies, the Rescue, the hook and ladder company and the Capital Hose com pany-went up to Durham on a special train consisting Of an engine two fiat cars and a coach. About fifty men went on the special, and they had all neces- sary apparatus for fighting fire. Their services were not needed, however, as the flames were pretty well under con- trol when they arrived.
