HOWE & STETSoN'S IMPROVE
 MENTS.


 The Store Now Transformed Into One
 of the Biggest Double Stores in New
 England.
 Howe & Stetson, the well known Chapel street dry goods merchants have completed the extensive enlarge ment of their store space and now have two large stores, the old store and the new one In the new Moses building on Chapel street, just above State, and the establishment is now one of the finest of the kind in the New England states. The business of the firm had increased so rapidly recently that an increased store room became an abso- lute necessity, and about the time that this became apparent the new Moses building was erected and an opportu nifty given to secure the largest store in that building to add to the old store. The arrangement now made gives Howe & Stetson a rare chance to ex- hibit their large stock of fine goods. The store in the new building is 15O feet deep and connects back about half this distance from the front with the old store by passage back of store between the firms old store and the new one.
 | The new store has been fitted up in | the handsomest and most convenient manner possible, no expense having been spared and every attempt having been made in the furnishing and fit ting to cater to the convenience of the customers. Although great expense | has been incurred with this end in view, the firm will continue, as they have done in the past, to sell goods at the lowest prices, the best of every thing at rock-bottom prices. The cus- toners of this popular firm will there fore he given the advantage of beauti- | full fittings and modern conveniences without being obliged to pay increased prices for goods.

TREASURY CASH SHORT.
After Five Months Work Force of
Counters Finds $3.50 Lacking.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--A recount of the
treasury cash. which was completed late
this afternoon. disclosed a shortage of 1853.
The recount was made necessary by the ap-
pointment in June last of Ellis II. Roberts
as United States treasurer in place of D. N.
Morgan, was begun on July l, and since
that time about $797,000000 in cash has been
counted. No errors or shortage of impor-
tance was discovered until the treasury
committee had begun work in silver vault
No. /, in which there were 103, ,653 600 stand
ard silver dollars. A colored man named
Martin, employed as a laborer, was one
day discovered in the coal and wood base
ment under suspicious circumstances, and
a search resulted in the finding of a num-
ber of silver dollars, which presumably he
had abstracted from some of the bags Mar
tin was arrested and made a confession,
admitting that he had taken twenty-eight
dollars for which he had substituted lead
The court imposed fine of $50 and Martin
was released. This admission cast sus-
picion upon the entire contents of the vault
and count by handling each individual
piece was ordered. On Sept. 10 twenty
eight expert counters and force of labor
ers and veritiers, under the direction of Mr.
G. G. Bance assistant cashier, began the
work of counting the contents of this vault
The time employed, therefore, was nearly
five months, the counters working eight
hours each day. The shortage of 1859 will
be made good by Mr. Morgan, the retiring
treasurer. 1t is probable, however as has
been done in similar cases, that Congress
will make appropriation in Mr.. Morgan's
favor covering the amount.

BIG VESSELS AGROUND
KAISER WILHELM III AND LA BRE-
TAGNE STUCK IN THE MUD.
The Former Pulled Out, but the Lat
ter stin Fast in Gedney Cham
mel, New York Bay.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The steamships
Kaiser Wilhelm II, Of the North German
Lloyd line, and La Bretagne, of the French
line ran aground to-day on their way out
to sea, and at latest reports La Bretagne
was still sticking in the mud, in an easy
position, the German vessel having been
pulled out. They steamed down in thick
weather this morning almost together. and
captains and pilots on the bridges were
feeling their way gingerly down the narrow
channel when the accident occurred. Both
ships chose Gedney channel, and when they
reached the bar they were IN unwelcome
proximity of each other. They were run
ming at low speed and their fog whistles
were footing dsmally. Down by the Dry
Romer, as near as the reports could make 1t
out, the bigger steamer tried to get around
the other There was little TOO much ma
neuvering for the narrow passage, and then
came a sudden scraping, crunching sound.
Although the shock was slight, there was
considerable excitement and d confusion of
bells on the bridges, and then with mighty
churning of the water, the big steamers
sought to beat their way off the muddy
he'd into which their noses had been driven.
Late in the afternoon the tug Lewis Pull
ver came up the channel and offered as
sistance to the Frenchman, which was re-
fused. Then he threw a line to the Kaiser
Wilhelm IL. In few minutes the powerful
PuIver was straining with giant strength
to move the great liner. The tugboat had
almost got her off once, but she foated
down closer to the Frenchman, and for a
time it seemed as though a collision was
certain. The two vessels were not more
than six hundred feet apart when the Kali
ser Wilhelm went on the mud second
time Then another attempt was made and
the Kaiser was drawn away from the ship
she threatened and safely anchored in deep
water. Her captain, however, refused to
proceed until he had made u survey of his
ship and found whether she had sustained
any actual damage. BY the time the tide
was falling, La Bretagne was still aground.
Several other tugs had come to her assist
ance, but without avail. 1t may be that
the Frenchman will have to be lightened
before she can be pulled off. She is in an
easy position, however, and is in no imme-
date danger unless a storm comes up

PARIS, Feb. 5.-According to L'Intransi-
geant, Prince Michael Stourdza, of Rouma-
MIA who died in Paris in 1884, left an enor-
nous fortune, his personal estate alone
amounting to $10bJb,J0O. BY his first wife
Eliza Rossetti. he left two sons. the Prin-
cess Dimitri and Grigori Stourdza; by his
second wife, the Princess Smaragda Vogor-
ides, he left daughter, the Princess Marie
Stourdza, who married Prince Alexandra
witch-Vital Gortschakow. Some months la
ter his widow also died at Baden. On the
night of her death, it is added, the Princess
Goftschakow, assisted by the Prince and the
Princess Brancovano, broke open a safe
filled with gold and removed the contents.
All the dead princess's papers were also
taken away to a house belonging to Prince
Gortschakow, on the Lake of Geneva. Prince
Brigori Stuordza also obtained proof that
the strong room in the Rue de Varennes,
in Paris, had likewise been broken into
and that all the valuables had been carried
away by the Princess Gortschakow and de-
posted with Prince Brancovano. A pocket
belt which the late princess always wore
on her person disappeared on the night of
her death
Prince Grgori brought an action for the
tribunal, but the decision in his favor was
annulled by the Court of Appeals. The case
came up again before the Orleans Court,
which also gave a verdict in his favor. but
this was similarly upset by higher court.
Now once more, after ten years litigation,
the case is to come before the Amiens Court.
The Pope is a Partisan landlord. Legally
and officially, he has become the landlord
of the famous dwelling known as the Hotel
De Plessis- -Belliere, on the Place de Ia Con-
corde, by decision of the civil tribunal of
Lomoges, sanctioning the arrangement ar
rived at between Leo XIII and the heirs of
Marquis Du Plessis-Bellere. BY this ar
rangement, which ends a dispute that has
gone on since 1887, the Pope, as universal
legatee, retains the house on the Place de
la Concorde and the cattle and estate of
Moreil in the departemnt of the Somme.

right course in striking. Nearly all of the
Southern mills are prosperous. The biggest
mills are earning dividends. but are rarely
paying per cent, as they are reserving
their excess profits to increase their quick
capital. The Southern mills get some ad-
vantage from cheaper coal and cheaper cot
ton, but the wage question is the greatest
factor in their favor. If it were not for the
lower wages paid in the South our mills
could compete with them without trouble.
Southern mills having been built later, are
superior to the average Northern mill. The
best Southern operatives turn out just as
much work as the Northern operatives, and
