Their DepredatiOnS.

Trenton. y. J. March 1-Local detec-
tives succeeded to-day in rounding up a
gang of four young desperadoes who have

". Pa, for several months.

were in this city and the rest on the
other side OF the river.
one Of the depredatiOns was committed
at the home Of William II. ScattergOod,
an aged farmer OF Bucks County. who
fought the gang. He was shot in the
face and severely beaten, and almost died
from the effects of his injuries.
About two weeks ago the men made a
haul at Tullytown. Pa. Most of the little
community were attending an exhibition

The woman who misses the big suit and
dress sale at S. Kann, Sons & Co store

regret it when she is shown by her proud
and happy neighbOr the wonderful bar

1t is said that nothing in the past can
compare with this great bargain oppor-
tunity. Four hundred handsome spring
suits, many of them worth double the
price asked, are to be shown. and the
dresses displayed viii be dreams" of the
modistes' fertile brain, beautifully work
ed out into realities
Then there is a wonderful sale of en-
broideries and laceS, that in lowness OF
prices is almost unbelievable, especially
at this season. when such trimmings are
so greatly in demand.
There is a big offering OF silk brocaded
poplin at just half price. and one of plain
Japanese silks also at half real worth.
There's a fiutter of ribbons for spring
and summer wear, and the list contains
great number of charming new fancies,
the kinds wanted for hat hands, hat trim
ming. hair ribbons, hair bows, sashes,
and thousands Of other ribbon uses.
Silks will be TO the front again this
Monday in big sale of printed foulards
ana pongeeS and great number OF the
handsome rough novelty shantungs
In wool goods there Is an announce
ment of herringbone sutings at very
much less than the regular price, and a
note of advice 20 hurry the goods along
to the dressmaker is wise TO heed If one
has planned upon wearing the dress Eas-
ter.
White goods are represented by a dozen
remarkably good and desirable Weaves at
very attractive prices. Trimmed hats Will
appeal to the women who look them over
as irresisttbly as the moth er's or big sis
ter's hat did to the little t.irl who would
try II on when the folks weren't looking.
Spring trimmings are shown in profu-
sion, al ready 10 be applied TO the suits
that will be made I'D from the silks and
wool goods advertised In to-days adver-
tisement.
Tan shoes are very fashionable md the
warning note sounded TO buy now Is GER
tainly not ill-timed when one remembers
that all kinds Of leather. and especially
tan feathers. are necessarily growing
scarcer. and the demand is likely to out
strip the supply.
