A GALE AT NEW YORK.


New York, Nov. 25.-The full
rugged ship Flottbek, which went
ashore at Monmouth beach during
Saturday nights gale, is resting on
the sands, apparently little the worse
for her experience and her crew are
being cared for by the life savers Of
station No. 4. The tug Robert Had
don picked up the Flottbek Satur-
day about dark. The ship, under
command Of Capt. Singler, was bound
for New York from Plymouth, Eng,
with a cargo Of white clay and min
erals. The tug had crew Of seven
men and the ship had "a men, all told.
All went well until late in the even
Ing, when the wind attained veloc-
ity of 40 or 45 knots and the tug was
unable to make Roadway and the two
vessels began to work inshore. Their
danger was seen from the beach and
the life savers prepared to aid them.
Seeing the struggle was hopeless and
that the only chance Of saving the
tug was to let the ship go, the haw-
ser was cut. The ship drifted rapidly
on shore and struck well up and close
in at point favorable for work up
on her. The tug lost her rudder
about the time she was freed from
the ship and driven by the gale per-
fectly helpless, she drifted down the
coast and brought up against the
iron pier at Long Branch and began
to pound against 1t. About two
o'clock in the morning the iron pier
broke in two. The tug had continued
to pound against it and the piling
and superstructure were gradually
weakened by the blows. The tug.
too, was battered to pieces. When
the pier was carried away, one man,
whose name is not known, was
washed into the sea and drowned.
All the rest were saved.
The United States hotel at Long
Branch was wrecked early in the
night. The gale started q corner Of
the roof and the wind, getting under
II, ripped almost the whole covering
of. Very little could be done to save
the interior. The rain was falling
N torrents and men worked hard to
get the furnishings to points where
they would be in the least danger.
Along Ocean avenue several store
fronts were blown in and the rain
beat in during the night. Many Of
the avenues are impossible, owing
to fallen trees and fences being blown
across them.
The New York & Long Branch rail
road is blocked by Il washout at Nor
gans. No trains have come in or
gone out by that route since yester-
day morning.

THE BONNIE CASE.
The Trial Of the Woman Charge" WIN
the Murder Of James Ayres He
gins In Earnest.

Washington, Nov. 2o.-The trial OF
Mrs. Lola BONNIE for the murder OF
James Seymour Ayrcs, Jr., at the
Kenmore hotel last May began in
real earnest yesterday. The prelIm-
mary details as to the finding OF the
body, the location Of the furniture
bloodstains, etc, were all in with the
conclusion of the testimony of J. f.
Drew, the capitol policeman who was
on the stand when the court ad.
journed last Friday. Baker, the man
who saw Mrs. BONNIE descend the
fire escape; Hopkins, who roomed
over Ayrcs and raised the first out
cry; Miss Woolums who roomed I'M
der Ayrcs, and Miss Lawless and Miss
Minas, who roomed on either side OF
him, testified yesterday. The two lat
ter were regarded as star witnesses,
but they testified to no facts not de-
veloped at the inquest Drew testi-
fed that there was room enough be-
hind the door OF Ayres' room for a
man to have been there while the
door was opened to admit another
person, contention which the prose-
cution deny, and also that there were
empty cartridges in the slop jar in
Ayrcs' room before the pistol with
which the shooting was done was
emptied by Officer Brady after the
tragedy. This would tend to estab-
lish the theory Of the defense that the
pistol belonged to Ayres. Miss Minas
testified that Ayres and Mrs. BONNIE
ate ice cream and cake in her room
the night before the tragedy and that
at that time there was no evidence
Of ill-feeling between them. Mrs.
Boninc throughout the trial yester-
day, when witnesses described the
cries, groans and throat gurgling of
the dying man, remained absolutely
unmoved.

Few events are more anxiously
looked forward to by the careful
Christmas buyer, or BY those who I'D.
mire beautiful display Of useful and
home making goods, than our Annual
Holiday Openings.
While in the past we have used our
every effort to place before the people
. line Of goods that would satisfy the
wants Of q particular public, a visit
to our store on our Opening day will
convince you that we have this year
far surpassed any Of our previous
efforts. Our stock was never so COM
plete in every detail, was never so
well selected to suit the wants OF our
customers, for our twenty'three
years Of dealings with them have
taught US their wants. We can say.
and without overseeing the truth,
that We now have the Imost complete
Home Furnishing store IN the state Of
Kansas. We have made 1t SO by the
complete line we have carried, and by
the low prices at which we have sold
our goods. We will compare prices
with any city store or with any cata-
logue house in the world.

Our Manufacturing
Department.

Few people in this county have any
idea OF the amount Of Upholstered
Furniture we turn out every year in
this department, nor have they the
faintest idea Of the way in which
modern Upholstered Furniture IL
made. After over six months Of OK.
perimenting with the different meth.
DDS of constructions which are now
being used by the best manufacturers
In the country, we have adopted what
we consider the best method that has
ever been used. On our opening day
we will place on sale a line that in
its superiority Of workmanship, in its
completeness Of every design, cover
and finish and in its artistic beauty.
cannot be surpassed in any city Of
ten times Abilene's population.
We are able to sell you goods SUI
perior in style and workmanship to
anything on the market in this part
OF the country, and at the same price
any retail dealer would have to paw
for them, we make our profit in the
same way any other manufacturer
would, and sell to you on that basis.
We not only manufacture Couches,
Lounges and Davenports, but all
styles ct Parlor Furniture into which
uphclstering enters in the construc-
ton.
On our opening day we invite every
one to visit our shops where they will
be shown the entire method used in
the making OF a frst-class Couch. 1t
is worth coming to see and we are
sure that after you see the new, clean
and sanatory construction which is
guaranteed to be indestructible, you
will ask the price and then we have
made one more customer, II you are
not SO already.
