Wells was upon him nnd began choking

up, and gave himself up to the constnble,
nnd handed tho revolver to J. M. Long.
'the body wns carried from tho street to
the pavement, and, soon after was taken
into tho Hotel parlor. There wero four
bullet holes found. One ball struck the

tho cheek bono j nnother entered the neck
on tho right sldo; nnother was lu the
groin, nnd the fourth in tho nbdomcn,
After being viewed by a coroner's jury the
body was delivered to tho friends of the
deceased and taken to Berwick Saturday
evening, where it was buried on Monday.
A jury was empanuelled on Saturday
evening by II. J. Conner Esq. nctiDg
coioner, and consisted of the following
persons : A. M. Dewitt, A. W. C. Keller,
M. L. ICliue, J. E. Hayhurst, Perry Delong
and William Fisher. Tho following wit

Joseph Crawford, Freeman Bellas nnd
Albert Yost. The jury found that deceas

by a revolver in the hands of William
Hughes.
Alter giving himself up Mr. Hughes
came to Bloomsburg with the constablo
and a commitment was made out by J. M.
Clark Esq. A writ of habeas corpus was
taken out by Mr. Buckalcw, counsel for
Hughes, and at 7 o'clock In the evening a

Mr. Hughes' injuries arc serious, lie
has a deep cut on Ihu side of his fuce, a
very black eye, und much soreness In the

WHAT MAI1K THE TItOUItl.U.
William Hughes is one of the contract
ors on the 11. it S. luud. Ills home is In
Huzleton, but he is wc.1 known all through
this section of the state. His mother lives
ut Oraugevillc, and it Is said that his sister
who also lives theie, was at a window near
by and saw the scuttle nnd its terrible re
sult. Clem Wells lived at Berwick. His moth
er, two brothers nnd one sister living thoro
are very estimable people, lie was about
23 years old. lie was engaged in driving
a team belonging to Samuel Adams of Ber
wick at the ruilroad work above Orange
ville. For sumo reason ho was discharged
by Mr. Hughes on Friilny morning, and on
that evening he. camo down here to the
Exchange hotel, and followed Hughes Into
the wash-room aud struck him in the face
after some altercation. Hughes rnn out
Into the olllco pursued by Wells, nnd
stumbled on a spitoou und fell down, .when
Wells tried to bent him, but wns prevented
by the bystanders. He had previously
made threats nf violence agnlnst Hughes,
anil from all reports was lying In wait for
him at Orangevllle. He Is said to havo
been a desperate character, and when In.
toxlcated he was tho terror of Berwick.
He was n man ot powerful frame, and
Hughes was no match for him. The latter
had said la Stewart's store a few moments
beforo the affray that bo knew Wells could
whip three men like him.
Hughes left llloomsburg about 12 o'clock
on Saturday to look ufter his work at tho
railroad. lie tied his horse on the street,
went Into Stewart's store after some
tobacco, uud was on his way to get his
horse to go on up to his work when ho was
attacked by Wells.
The above aro the facts in the case care
fully gleaned from sources supposed to bo
reliable.

Every time we take up our
ni'ii to write about dress-stuffs
we think "What can w say of a
storeful of stuffs of every sort
and degree !"
It was hard enough before to
pick out the news ; but this tall
there is everything here. To
mention any 'particular dress
stuff seems to imply that every
thing isn't here. When wants
are so various how can we ex
pect to do anything better than
say you will find whatever you
want at the proper counter,
There's the question of prices,
There arc other Stores. They

they sell things for less than we.
Now and then they pluck up

very likely. But better to lose
a little money once in a while,
they think, than to lose their
hold on you altogether. So
once in a while they beat us.
Not very often or long. Costs
money. Cheaper to "play," as
the children do. You can't al
ways tell who is beating by what
you read in the papers. So,
perhaps, there's no better way
than to shop and keep shopping.
You know the old cry that
we -were underselling every
body. Trade was good-for-nothing.
Philadelphia gone to
the bow-wows. Why, we've
actually felt compelled in self
defense to say "We do not un
dersell. We only sell as low
as we can." If somebody else
sells lower, he is the underseller.
Wonder who that is 1
Queer world this ! Queer
city ! Queer people ! Nobody
wants to be an "underseller"
and everybody trying to under
sell. We are like the rest. We'd
be ashamed to be doing nothing
bigger or better than simply un
derselling. We sell as low as
we can.
That's what we are doing in
dress-stuffs ; but there's nothing
new in that. And yet we're
actually paying the paper good
money to tell of it.
Queer ! Very queer !
Our odd lots and remnants
of dress-stuffs all at one counter,
gathered every day from all
over the store, are a storeful of
dress-stuffs ; and in more than
one respect they are like the
stock of an ordinary store in
one they are not.
They are helter-skelter ; what
you don't want is sure to be
there ; a little behindhand, some
of 'em ; prices way off.
It's one of the busiest parts
of the store. We make money
by losing it there

we meant to print a lull ac
count of our winter underwear,
merino, wool and silk, men's,
women's and children's. Noth
ing but opportunity to get the
information together has hinder
ed. Weather held off so long
we kept thinking the time
would wait. Now the time will
wait no longer ; the store is full
of buyers ; they have got to be
attended to ; Mr. Jennings, the
man who carries it all in his
head, can't give a day to help
the news-man through ; and
nothing less will do. We must
let it go.
No loss to us. The store is as
full of buyers as of underwear.
What have we to gain by crowd
ing INothtng. liven now it is
fair to say what lies under the
surface just here : You had bet
ter come lor urgent things
whatever they are that belong
to wintry weather come in the
early cold mornings before lazy
folks get out.
What is there to come for ?
Whatever you want. Not what
ever you imagine you want.
You often find, when you go to
a first-rate collection of any thing,
no watter what, that your no
tions are wrong. Tilings change.
What was good last year is su
perceded by something better
this year. You had better come
with a general notion and make
it definite after you see what is
here. That is buying intelli
gently. We are saying that all the
really wanted things are here.
We have to say this knowing al
most nothing about it. Why
do we have to say it? Because
the man whose business it is to
provide them says they are
here ; and the people buying
prove it.
And yet we wish we could
set them out in a row in this
paper. You could turn them
over in your mind before com
ing. You would come half
ready to pick out your things.
It would shorten your buying,
not make it more.
Nevertheless we'll try to get
at some unexpected items an
other day.
Whatever you imagine you
want in underwear either that
or something better is here.

ITiicllHiiutecl Merit.
The great success of the Itoyal Baking
Powder, Is due to the extreme care exer
cised by its manufacturers to make It en
tirely pure, uniform In quality, and of tho
highest leavening power. All the scl-
entitle knowledge, care and skill, attained
by a twenty year's practical experience,
arc contributed toward this end, and no
pharmaceutical preparation can ho dis
pensed with a greater accuracy, precision
and exnetness. Every artlclo used Is abso
lutely pure. A number of chemists are cm
ployed to .test the strength'ot each ingre
dient, so that its exact power and effect In
combination with Itsco-iiigredlcnts, is defi
nitely known. Nothing Is trusted to
chance, and no person Is employed in tho
preparation of tho materials used or the
manufacture of the powder, who is not an
expert In his particular branch ot tho bus
iness. As n consequence, the Itoyal Uak.
Ing Powder Is of the highest grailo of ex
cellence, always pure, wholesomo aud un
iform in quality. Each box Is exactly like
every other, and will retain its powers and
produce the same and the highest leaycniug
effect lu any climate, at any tlmo. Tho
Government Chemists, nficr having an
alyzed nil tho principal brands in the mar.
ket, In their reports placed the Itoyal Bak
ing Powder at tho head of the list for
strength, purity, and wholcsomcncss, uud
thousands of tests all over tho couutry
havo further demonstrated the fact that its
qualities are', in every respect, unrivaled.

The First Sign
Of falling health, whether In tho form of
Night Sweats nml Nervousness, or in a
sense of General Weariness and Loss of
Appctito, should suggest l.tho uso of
Ayer's Sarsaparltla. Tills preparation
is most cffectlvo for giving tono nnd
strength to tho enfeebled system, pro
moting tlie dlgostlon and assimilation of
food, restoring tho nervous forces to
their normal condition, nnd for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing tlie blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ngo my health began to fall.
I was tioubled with n distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, IVcnknesi, nnd Nervous
nesH. 1 tried various remedies pro
scribed by different physicians, but
beeaiip so weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended mo to try Ayer's
Bmsaparllln, which I did, and I nm now
as healthy ami strong ns ever. Mrs.
E. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn.
I havo used Ayer's Sarsaparllla, In my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
tuken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this tcrriblo disease. I havo
nl.no prescribed It as a tonic, as well as an
alterative, nnd must say that I honestly
believe it to bo thn host blood medicine
ever compounded. IV. I' Fowler.M. O.,

Dyspepsia Cured.
It would bo Impos-dhlo for mo to de
scribe what I sullered from Indigestion
nud llendnrho up to the tlmo I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparllla. I was under
the cam nt various physicians, nnd tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained moro than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparllla
for a short time, my headacho disap
peared, and my stomach performed Its
duties iiioiii perfertly. To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
Hurley, Springlleld, Muss.
I havo been greatly benefited by tho
prompt use of Ayer's S.usapnrllla. It
tones and Invigorates thu sjslein, regu
lates Iho action of tho digeMivo nnd
assimilative orgnns, nnd vltulies tho
blued. It is, without doubt, tho most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.
