We have saved many doctor bills
since We began using Chamberlain
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
a bottle open all the time and whenever
any of my family or myself begin to
catch cold we begin to use the Cough
Remedy, and as result we never have
to send away for doctor and incur a
large doctor bill, for Chamberlain
Cough Remedy never fails to cure.

STOCK TO BE SOLD

Through Trustee of Ewen Mcintyre & Co.-Had Offer from a Buffalo Con- cern.
 A rumor was current in the city yes-
 terday that William Neely, trustee for the Ewen Mcintyre estate, had closed a deal with a Buffalo concern for the en- tire stock and fittings of the establish ment and although there was some ves- tige of truth for the report, the deed up to the present has not been closed. MT. Nicely at present considers 1t wiser to close out the stock as far as possible in this city city and so give the patrons of the firm chance to secure part of it. As will be seen by referring to our ad- vertising columns, the counters, fixtures and showcases are offered for sale. These, with the entire stock of goods, must be sold to satisfy the creditors by the first of February. Everything in the store has been marked down with out regard to the cost apparently, but at such figures that the stock will not remain long on hand
 The stock of millinery, which has oc- cupied space on the third floor, has been moved to the first floor, where it VIII DS HUI v tdSiiS lSel1hSo " SuSlCill- ers and in this department the figures marked upon the goods seem ridicu- lously low, the cost evidently not fgur- ing in the transaction. This includes not only trimmed and untrimmed hats, but also feathers and trimmings of all kinds.
 There is a large quantity of silk and dress goods yet to be disposed of, The goods in this department not having been brought to the attention of GUS toners, the assortment is still complete. Take, for instance, .Priestly's English goods. These have been selling at from $1. 50 to $1.9S a yard; they are now going at S5 cents. Other high class goods which have been $1.50 are now 62 cents and s1.25 goods are 49 cents.
 In ladies' hosiery the lines and sizes are unbroken, especially in the high priced goods, which have been placed also at figures to sell.
 In mems furnishings the prices would seem so low as to make it an induce ment for the buyer to lay up stock for future use.
 MT Nicely is determined to dispose of all of the goods at some price, and the shoppers will have an opportunity for the next few days of buying at practi- cally their own figures.

THE PIGoTT-BRADY WEDDING.

A Quiet Ceremony Yesterday-A We'd
 ding Trip in the South
 Danbury, Jan. 24-The marriage ot ex-Congressman James F. Pigott of New Haven, and Miss Mary A. Brady of 11S Liberty street, this city, took place this morning at 9:30 o'clock at St. Peters parochial residence, the cer- emony being performed by Rev H. J. | Lynch, pastor of St. Peters Catholic church, in the presence of the family only.
 Although considerable interest at- taches to the affair, on account of the prominence of both the bride and groom, in Danbury and New Haven. the affair was exceedingly quiet and informal. The bridal couple were att tended by Edward Fay and Miss Josephine Fay, nephew and niece of the bride, as best man and bridesmaid
 The bride was very simply but hand somely attired in travelling suit of fawn-colored cloth.
 Immediately after the ceremony, which required but few minutes time, the wedding party was driven to tte brides home on Liberty street, where wedding breakfast was served.
 MT. and Mrs. Pigott left Danbury on the 1137 train for New York. and from there will go south on an extend ed wedding trip. On their return they will take up their residence in New Haven, where MT. Pigott is a promi- nent lawyer
 The bride was the recipient of a large number of elegant gifts from friends and relatives in Danbury and other cities.
