THE FINE NEW AND LARGE ASSORTMENT
OF
WEDDING SILVER
AND
PRESENTATION GOODS
OF
MESSRS. BAILEY. & CO.
A GORGEOUS DISPLAY AND AN END
LESS VARIETY.
Tire fine store of Messrs. Bailey & Co., at
the southeast corner of Twelfth and Chesnut
streets, is now the scene of the most gorgeous
and elaborate display of fine silverware and
Jewelry goods. The silverware at the present
fs time is the specially, and the stock now exposed
to Tiew is the largest and best which has ever
fceen seen In this city. Indeed, so worthy of
especial notice is it that a glance is sufficient to
testify to its merits, while a thorough examina
tion will disclose a wealth of design, of work
manship, and of intrinsic value which surpasses
anything which can be imagined. All that is
necessary in the advertising line is to call atten
tion to the display itself for the purpose of
C causing the public to pee it for themselves. Once
Eeen it speaks for itself, and all other
V comment is not only superfluous but
r unnecessary. Poorer goods would require
K columns upon columns of laudatory matter, but
and makes the impression that the goods are not
what they claim to be, and require praising in
order to make the people believe that they are.
A part of the great wealth of stock is dis
played to the passer-by in the massive windows
which front the beautiful store of Bailey & Co.,
bat what is there shown Is as nothing compared
r, to what awaits the sight-seer on entering the
I establishment. But even this small fraction is
I now sufficient to attract the attention of the
careless pedestrian in the most signal manner.
V ThcBe windows are at all times a great attrac-
V IIaii Ktif at tt,a nrflBAnf flma t how ... inrrniinHn
continually by an anxious crowd of witnesses,
who comment with the greatest expressions of
delight upon what is there displayed.
On entering the establishment a grand sight is
presented to the wondering eyes ol the visitor.
The eye can take in at one sweep the entire
length of the grand apartment, filled with the
glittering profusion of silver, arranged on both
tides of- the store and down the centre
on tables, in showcases, in racks, and on
counters. The gems of silverware dis-
Jtlaved in the windows are but indices in a very
ow degree of the glories of the Interior. The
display is so glorious that the atteutlon is ab
sorbed for a while by the glittering effect of the
whole, to the neglect of the various special ob
jects. But this being partially overcome, the
various exquisite specimens are the subject of
the closest scrutiny and questioning and the
k, most unbounded praise. The rule is absolute in
every part tnat the closer the examination the
greater is the satisfaction felt and expressed.
On the one side is perceived the most beauti
ful tea service for bridal presents.of satin finish,
rilt and satin, gold lined, filled in with bas
j reliefs of most exquisite workmanship. Then
follow set after Bet of solid silver tea services,
reflecting infinite credit upon their designer, an
artist of whom the firm may feel justly proud.
The dinner services of the house have been
for years to them a source of great emolument
for in this department they have ever held a
1 leading position. In this exhibition they have
given the public an opportunity of judging that
in this line of-goods, as in others, they have not
"fallen from their high estate," but, on the con
trary, as years have lapsed, they have adopted
as their motto "Excelsior," and lived up to its
full significance.
Dinner services of every finish, plain and or
nate, from the set worth ten thousand dollars
($10,000) down to those of medium price, aro
here In endless profusion.
Cake and fruit baskets of matchless beauty,
silver salvers, pie, cake, and asparagus knives.
fruit Epoons, etc., etc., load the cases and tables
h with their precious weight.
ti One article attracts universal attention. It
11 was a massive punch-bowl of silver, satin finish,
V etched in and lined with gold. The design is

duced the reflection that even to the anchorite,
who bad vowed total abstinence, the presenta
tion of a beverage from its golden chamber
would sorely test bis self-denial.
1 he elaborate building occupied by this firm
is one of the finest business ornaments of our
city, and the stock which they now display in
t merits, and is but a continuation of the liberal
A policy which first caused them to erect the fine
N edifice.
1 As to the personnel of Messrs. Bailey & Co.
J any remarks in this connection would be almost
superfluous. The name has been for years
synonymous with all that is elegant aud refined
1 in taste. It has become a household word, not
f alone in their native city, but throughout the
T entire Union. In the capitals of the Old World,
where art has its votaries, the house has its cor-
respondents, eager to pour into its lap the
1 treasures which day by day are brought to light.
A They claim the distinction, and without cavil,
1 of having first introduced silver of the full
American standard being but 900. The advan
tages of raising the standard are, that it prevents
importation from abroad, and especially from
British workshops, for purchasers are assured
by a guarantee of receiving silver pure as that
stamped by the English Government. Besides,
the duality or. tne suver renders me article
more brilliant, whiter, and more susceptible of
, a higher finish, and obviates discoloration from
ft;
exposure.

TAMMANY TRIUMPHANT.
TvfcccVb Hills Rushed Through the Albany
legislature ana Mguea iy me uoveruor,
An Albany despatch to the New York Tribune
says:
The Legislature is supposed to consider bills
in committee, debate them, print them, have
them read through at least once tor tne infor
mation of members, and observe some sort of
order in the action which it may take upon them.
Mr. J. weed has changed all tnat. His bills are
not considered, are not printed, are not read,
and are not subject to any rules of order or pre
cedence. His amended Tax till, his amended Election
bill, his amended Charter bill, and his unadul
terated bill to encourage perjury and fraud at
elections, were to-day put. through both houses,
and have since received the signature ef Mr.
Tweed's Governor. Members of long expe
rience in the New York Legislature say they
have never seen bribery, brute force, and un
mitigated scoundrelism so rampant as they have
been since tne apostate winans was received into
the bosom of the Democracy.
This morning Mr. Smith Weed (whose eye is
still surrounded by a broad black ring) moved
his resolution to abolish the rules which pre
vented the Tammany bills from taking prece
dence of all others, and the rules were abolished
by a Btrlct party vote, Winans counting one
against the Republicans. The whole list of
Tweed's villainous measures, with tbeir late and
unknown improvements, were then passed by a
similar vote, witnout being read, except by title.
Randall, Nicholas, Coon, Hill a minority feeble
in numbers, hut still more feeble in spirit sub
mitted without a murmur.
These men act like slaves in the House, and
when outside, grumble at their master, as slaves
usually do. To them, party means more than
Asiatic servility. Weed's outbreak, like Gra-
nam s, has been well rewarded- After he bad
eaten humble pie for supper last night and for
breakfast this morning, Winans, the Tammany
horde, and Randall & Co. went in and passed
his Champlaln Ferry bill, which the Governor
vt in prooaoiy veto.
The Senate, in its Clerk, has a matchless
reader. A man wh can follow the words of
a florid air in an Italian opera would be at a loss
to understand this clerK. under tne eye of Mr.
Tweed this accomplished elocutionist really did
go tnrougn a process wnicn was accepted as a
a reading of the amendments introduced
through the House Committee on the Affairs of
Cities. A motion to print was voted down by
Mr. Graham, Mr. Tweed, and the majority.
The amendments were then concurred in, and
the bills spirited away by some of the Tammany
understrappers. Every effort was made by the
representatives of the press to ascertain the
substance of the amendments, and many mem
bers or tne Legislature or botn parties were
anxious to know, but the secret up to 4 P. M.
was effectually kept. On the adjournment of
the Senate, the matchless clerk was presented
with a $ 1000 United States bond.
s Later in the day some of the mysterious
amendments to the Two Per Cent. Tax bill
leaked out. It is now stated that the ring,
being satisfied that they can get along with
$25,000,000, have graciously permitted them
selves to be limited to that trifling sum. Then
that court house gold mine in the New York
City Hall Park must be started again, and the
sum of $750,000 is appropriated for that pur
pose, to be raised by loan.
Another amendment "fixes" Sheriff O'Brien
for life, as the Corporation Counsel is authorized
to adjudicate upon all claims which may be
presented as due the late Sheriff. The members
of the Board of Supervisors are also given an
annual salary of $2000. The amendmen ta to the
other bills have not yet become known.
DISEASED MEAT IN BOSTON.
A Butcher Fatally Poisoned Invest ta
tlon at ISrtghton Startling lMacloaurea.
Boston, April 18. One week ago to day an
ox which bad died of disease or was trampled
to death in a cattle car while coming from
Albany to Brighton, was purchased at the cattle
yards by Charles Bonn, who got a team be
longing to August Weitz, another butcher, and
conveyed it to a slaughter-house owned by
Walter L. Wllkins.
George Temple, an employe of Mr. Weltz.
dressed the ox. After the dressing Temple need
the towel with which he bad washed tbe sides
of the animal to wipe the sweat from his face.
This inflamed a small sore which he had on his
right cheek, and tbe lnllammation Increased to
such an extent that be died on Sunday morning.
Tbe investigation, which was closed at midnight,
disclosed some facts calculated to startle beef
eaters in this community.
Two physicians testified that they attended
Temple, and that the symptoms resembled
those which were found in cases of blood
poieonlntr. Simeon Sanderson, a butcher, testified that he
did not think there were more than four or five
butchers in Brighton who would dress dead
oxen. He thought every butcher in town
would carry to market cattle infected with the
hoof and mouth disease.
Charles Nutter testified that he had known
dead oxen dressed aud carried to market with
beef properly prepared.
The wife of the deceased, Mrs. Farah Temple,
said: The deceased has dressed dead cattle be
fore for Mr. Weltz, some two months ago and
and hnd a sore throat for a long time after, and
was confined to his house a week; he told his
wife that the meat of this ox was not fit to
carry to market, and was no better than carrion;
she had not tbe least doubt but that his death
was caused by dressing tne dead ox.
Charles Bonn, who works for Brighton but
chers, testified: That in golnar home last Tues
day he saw tbe ox at the yard at tbe car station
at North Brighton; then went to Albert Monroe
and bought it for $10; told him Weitz would
pay Lim; went to Weitz and told him I had
bougnt a dead ox; we narnessea weiu team
and cot, the ox; the ox was loaded by himself.
Weltz, and another man; Weitz told him to
carry the ox to Wllkins', as be had no room at
his slaughter-house; another animal, a bull, was
taken from the yards which could not walk,
and do was stuck In the yards;
when he arrived with this carcase tbe
other ox was nearly dressed: trot up . at
4 the next morning, and helped Weltz load
one side of the ox aud tbe bull, and with nothing
eke, drove to Boston; Weitz ufd the bull beef
at prices ranging from 18 cents to 12 cents;
the ox beef was to be sold to a man whose namj
he did not know, who told him some weeks ago
that be wanted 200 pounds of beef of a dead ox
for a proper use; did not find tbe man, and In
driving through the market square saw a grease
man and pave him fie beef, as I did not want it
in my wagon; the side hat been cnt into four
pieces; he met Weltz yesterday and Sunday, but
talked over but little except business matters;
he thought the bone man took the other side; he
took two dead oten to Weitz's about a fortnight
ago, and one which died on the cars was
dressed for market: Wllkins had nothing to do
with the ox killed last Tuesday, heard that a dead
ox was carried to Weitz's slaughter house yes
terday; did not offer the ox beef for sale on tbe
stand; knew wen anougn tnat it was not at to
sell; sold the bull beef ror good meat; Weltz paid
Mr. A. Monroe $10 for the ox, and was to have
the hide and tallow.
The jury returned the following verdict:
"That George K. Temple came to his death on the
mornlDsrof Hundav, April 15, 1371, at 6 80 o'clock.
That his death was caused by blood poison lnnooa
la ted Into his system while dressing on Tuesday, the
11th Inst., at a slaughtering establishment In this
town, a dead ox which was taken from the yards of
the Uoston and Albany Railroad ; and they further
find upon tbe evidence that said animal was
dressed by said Temple for market while in
tbe employ of one Annum Weltz, and that one-half
thereof was conveyed to Boston In a market wagon
with other beef belonging to said Weltz, and the
other half was conveyed to a bone establishment In
this town. And for the better protection of the lives
ef those engaged In slaughtering, and of the public
agalDst the purchase of unwholesome meat, the jury
niost earnestly recommend that tbe Board of Health
of said town establish and enforce stringent regula
tions for the prevention hereafter of the Introduc
tion of any dead creatures Into the slaughtering esta
blishments of this town."
INTERESTING MUNICIPAL STRUGGLE.
Paterton, JT. J., lias a Common Council
with Two Presidents Interference of the
Police.
The recent election riot in the Eighth ward of
Paterson, by preventing the election of ward
officers, was the causa of irregular proceedings
at the meeting of the Board of Alderman yester
day afternoon, lbe Uemocrats claimed that the
ontgoing Alderman for the Eighth ward, Peter
Kelly, had a right to hold his seat until his suc
cessor was appointed, and submitted the writ
ten legal opinions of ex-Chancellor B. William
son and Courtlandt Parker in support of the
claim.
Tbe Republicans, however, objected to this
interpretation, as it would deprive them- of
their majority, vv nen tbe board met yesterday
afternoon the clerks in accordance with bis
previous instructions, refused to recognize
Kellv, and the Republicans moved to proceed
with the election of president. Tbe Democrats
insisted on the reading of the leiral opinions.
and a scene of great disorder ensued. At
length the Democrats elected Alderman Hopper
president, and the latter took the chair.
The Republicans elected Alderman Allen
president, and he at once ordered Hopper from
his eeat. Hopper refused, and Allen then.
amid cheers and laughter, began to
read off the standing committees for
the year. The contusion at last tecanie so great
that the Democrats resolved to adjourn until
evening, and President Hopper left the Chamber
with his adherents. The Republicans afterwards
adjourned to the first Monday in May. At 8
o'clock in tbe evening the Democrats returned
to hold the meeting, but discovered that Mayor
Tuttle, who is a Republican, had locked up the
Council Chamber and filled the City Hall with
police. Both parties declare that they will
maintain tbeir position. N. Y. Post, last even

The United States Marshal Puts Her iu
I'OHHekklon of Certain Property.
From the Sew Orleant Pieaiune, April l'i.
The United States Marshal yesterday placed
Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines in possession of the
following tracts of land within the city limits
viz., the tiact bounded by and enveloped
within Dupre, Salcedo, et. Ann, and Bt. Peter
streets, and tne tract ol land bounded by and
enclosed within St. Peter street, 1 lagan avenue,
Orleans street, and Lake road, upon which lat
ter tract is situated one of the city draining
machines.
This act on the Dart of the Marshal was in
conformity to the decree of Justice Bradley, of
the Supreme Court of the United States, upon a
mandate of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the enlt of Myra Clark Gaines vs.
Manual J. Lizardl et al., in which the city of
New Orleans was a party defendant.
Mr. woiney, the chief deputy, who executed
the order of Court, informs us that Mr. Cockrem.
the City Administrator of Improvements, called
upon the Marshal after Mrs. Gaines had been
put In possession, and asked for a delay of a
few days; but the Marshal replied that he could
not grant any de'ay at all, as the mandate of
the court was peremptory, and he had no option
but to enforce it.
Mrs. Gaines states that prior to this proceed
ing she bad proposed to tbe city authorities to
rent the draining machine to the city at a no
minal rent, bnt that her proposition not meeting
with any attention whatever, she adopted the
measure above reported for the purpose of en
forcing the rights decreed to her by the United
States Supreme Court.
In the decree referred to she was decreed to
be the owner of said lands, together with all the
improvements thereon; and the draining ma
chine being considered as coming under tbe
head of improvements, it has been declared to be
the property of the '"little lady."

The Fighting at Asulercs.
London, April 19. Details of the fighting on
Monday at Asnieres show that the Versailles
forces compelled the Communists to evacuate
the town, but did not themselves occupy It.
The Communis ls in the afternoon reocenpied
the place, where they were again attacked In
the evening by the Versailles troops. During
the night there was an incessant fusillade, and
the Government forces maintained their posi
tion with difficulty.
A despatch from Paris, Tuesday evening,
says
The Versailles Army
has not assumed the offensive. The belligerents,
though confronting each other, are actually
separated by the Island of Grand Satte.
The Communist Losses
on Tuesday were very heavy. It ls said the
Nationals are greatly discouraged by their suffer
ings and losses.
Immense Quantit ies of Ammunition
were discovered in cellars in the Avenue de Tro

Special Despatch to the Evening Telegraph.
Macch Chunk, April IS. The Board of Arbi
tration met this morning at 9 o'clock. The de
cision of the umpire was glven.very fully cover
ing the entire question of Interference by miners
in working mines, and was strongly against the
miners. This is considered quite a point gained
by the operators. After the decision was ren
dered the board adjourned to meet at the call of
the president. This vetoes resumption for the
present in the Schuylkill region and parts of
Lehigh and Carbon, and there is little prospect
for work commencing at Scranton or at Wilkes
barre. The Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron Company's
men will probably go to work this week. It ls
hard to say whether or not any good has been
accomplished by this meeting of arbitrators.
The only question submitted to the nmpire was
that of Interfering with the working of mines.
Local arbitration ls gaining ground. It ls pro
bable that arrangements will soon be made for
resumption in one or more of the districts.
