Offee Free Transportation MS an Induce
ment to Saturdays Trade.
A number of enterprising firms will
supply transportation for their Gus
toners to-day. 1t is a well-known
fact that the street railway situation
is proving very detrimental to trade.
One weeks time has forcibly demon
strated this fact. Heyman Bros,
George NJ Shook & Co., and the Alex
ander Shoe Company have combined
together to endeavor to overcome the
prevailing difficulty.
They have chartered nine wagons,
which will ply between Heymans cor
ner, at Main and Eleventh streets, and
Benwood, Mlrtins Ferry and Bridge
port. These wagons will carry GUS
toners of either of these three stores
free of charge. Anumber of indie
pendent wagons will also be supplied
with tickets from these stores, and
customers will be carried free on these
also.
House & Hermann will also supply
transportation to customers to-day free
of charge. BY these means merch-
ants hope to hold up Saturdays usual
rush somewhat.

The New York Herald tells what was
done there the other day. There were
900 little children in the building. A
dense smoke broke out in the basement,
and rising, shut off all the passage by the
fireproof stairway. A little girl ran up
the flight to the grammar classes, where
there were 700 children, screaming ''6re!'
Miss May Kittman hushed the child and
running to the big gong pulled six strokes
the signal for the FIRE drill. Every
teacher was in place in an instant. the
orders were sharp and clear aud the chill.
dren fell into ranks and marched down
the FIRE escapes to safety, though the

and the olsng Of FIRE engines on the out
side showed that ID was real business.
