He Didn't Advertise.

Colebrook, Conn, Sept. lO.-one
Of the most novel auction sales
ever held in the country was one
here today of the effects of the late
John S. Wheeler. of Waterbury.
Wheeler ran general store here
during the civil war and practically
all of the articles sold today had
been on the shelves for over forty
years. The stock was purchased at
war prices, and. rather than sell at
loss. Wheeler allowed the goods
to remain ON the shelves. The store
was closed over thirty years ago.
Among the articles sold were boots.
shoes, mems clothing. dress goods,
cigars, tobacco, groceries, and, In
fact. a complete stock OF such goods
as were handled by New England
country stores forty years ago. Most
of the articles were hopelessly shop
worn and out OF date. and valuable
only as curiosities.

the people in the alliance to stand

IMMEDIATE ACTION TAKEN.
Supreme Court Mandate in Fields Case
Issued at Once.

Attorney Frank ]. Hogan of counsel for
Thomas NJ. Fields whose petition to have
the United States Supreme Court review
his conviction in the local criminal court
of embeZzling the funds of the Washington
Beneficial Endowment Association, Of which
he was a receiver. today appeared before
the United States Supreme Court and Sc
cured permission to have the mandate Of
that court issue forthwith. The lower court
in the ordinary run of business would not
be officially apprised of the action of the
court of last resort for thirty days, but as
the bondsmen of Fields desire to surrender
him into the custody of the marshal at
once, counsel sought to expedite the send
ing of the mandate.
Fields was yesterday in custody of two
representatives of the bonding company
which is surety on his bail bond. An
effort was made yesterday afternoon to
deliver him to the United States, marshal
but that official. holding that a surrender
should be made in open court, declined to
receive Fields into his custody
1t is thought the mandate. which must
first go to the District Court OF Appeals,
will reach the Criminal Court tomorrow,
when 1t is expected Fields will be surren-
dered to the marshal.

Commissioner B.ddle, to whom the re-
