"The &c. Smoke ana wa.er sale. !"

The great "Fire, Smoke and Water
saIe,' which Bell Brothers inaugurated
last Thursday to dispose of their entire
stock OF goods, damaged by the fire Of
Oct. 70, was startling revelation of Ran
doiph as the live center Of a big shopping
district. People came by teams and
trains and Bell Brothers we're obliged to
keep their doors locked practically all the
time from o'clock in the morning until
at night, while people stood in line
on the sidewalk waiting for q chance to
get in.
A rush, heretofore unchronicled in the
business annals Of the place, continued
Friday and Saturday and showed hardly
any abatement Monday. The sale drew
heavily from Northfeld and, of course,
all the intervening towns while its attrac-
tive force operated powerfully as far
south as West Hartford, dragging hither
crowds of shoppers from Tunbridge,
Rochester and points along the White
River railway, Sharon, South RoyaIton.
hoyalton and Bethel. One shopper had
20 miles to drive Saturday night after
day Of bargain hunting.
People came out OF the store in
stream, Juggling all the bundles their
arms would reach around, and II would
have looked to stranger as though the
nre was even then in progress and every
body had volunteered to help clear the
building. In squads Of 20 or more they
landed from the trains with empty grips
and bags and were only sorry they hadn't
brought Saratoga trunks. Homeward
bound, they staggered under the weight
OF huge parcels added to the heavily load
ed grips and bags aud each, to ali sp-
pearances, needed freight car, instead Of
3 passenger coach, for her accommoda-
tion.
This sale completely eclipsed the big
olosing-out sale OF Bell Brothers two
years ago, when they sold their store to
A. a. Nicholson Of Northampton, Mass.
They bad q tremendous trade then for
ten days, but the volume Of business
was way below that Of the present sale.
The amount taken in last Thursday.
Friday and Saturday alone was two
thirds Of the total sum for the 10 davs
two years ago.
Bell Brothers expected a crowd.
though they underestimate its size. and
lined their counters with clerks. who
never saw leisure moment for at least
four business days. Mrs. H. A. Leonard
served as cashier on the first hoor, and
Miss Mary Jones Of stookbridre on the
second. +. ?. Fish guarded the en-

Ghosts Seen at the Center.

The Halloween party given by the SEN

drew a goodly number. Following in
the wake of some spirit detailed as guide,
the visitors were conducted through vari-
Gus apartments representing the abode Of

cashier OF the departed. Here all candi-

1t was early in the afternoon before
the three warships outside Sandy Hook
were positively identified as the expected
British visitors. They were the cruisers
Drake, Argyll and Duke of Edinburgh. At
/ o'clock the trio anchored off the Hook
and a wireless message from the flagship
Drake brought information that they
would probably stay outside the harbor
until tomorrow and await the arrival of
the battleship InfleXible, which was eX-
pected to join the squadron late tonight.
Tomorrow morning. if weather conditions
are right, the warshps will steam up the
Hudson and take their places with the
other men of war off 125th street.
The British squadron first came into
wireless communication with the Fire
Island station this morning. The Fire
Island operator got a message from the
captain Of the battleship Drake, the Brit
ish flagship. but was unable to learn the
vessels location. From this it was sup
posed that the fleet would reach the har-
Dor late today.
