8 THE ' PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1890. m i r A PERSONAL PLEDGE, Covering Every Bit of His Property, Given by Governor Beaver TO THE PHILADELPHIA BASKKRS TVho Advanced the Money Necessary for the Work at Johnstown. BE HAS HO FEARS OP LOSS, THOUGH. Chicago Contributors Want ItMalitd Flood Belief Accounts. "When Governor Beaver borrowed nearly jlOO.OOO for sanitary work at Johnstown, says Colonel Hill, he pledged his personal property for its repayment The State Board of Health, it is said, has authority to set in such premises, and that the Board vill undoubtedly secure the Governor. Chicago contributors make another call for an itemized account of the flood relief fund. Colonel Samuel "W. Hill was seen yester day by a Dispatch reporter, concerning the work done by the State and Belief Com missions at Johnstown. The reports of the financial expenditures necessary to get things into shape in that afflicted city, are now nearly ready to hand over to the proper authorities, and to be published in the re port of the State at the proper time. The reports will be very volflminous, and fiive in detail every item of expense. Considering the gigantic amount of work that had to be done on the premises, the cost of the undertaking is rather surprisingly small. It was at one time estimated that 51,000,000 wonld not cover the sum needed. Colonel Hill makes the following state ment: Governor Beaver advanced funds to pay necessary expenses and for relief, until the Flood Belief Commission was fully organized, to the amount of 591,158 03; this sum was drawn from the relief fund. For clearing rivers and repairing highways the sum of S355.818 5G was expended, being ad vanced by Governor Beaver. A CAUSE FOE CEITICISM. The fact that the Legislature had made no appropriation to meet such an expenditure of money has caused considerable specula tion, and at times brought ont some adverse criticism. It was also asked where Gov ernor Beaver secured the funds ior Buch an outlay, and whether the Legislature would be disposed to make up the expenditure by an appropriation, without some investiga tion and a little hesitation. An explana tion ot the procedure was given by Mr. Hill. "The reason why Governor Beaver did not convene a special session of the Legis lature," said he, "was because it would, in the first place, involve an expense of fully 8500,000. Everv member would receive mileage and $1,500, even though the session lasted only one week. The Governor de signed to have the work done as economically as possible, as there had been heavy drafts on the State treasury before the calamity occurred, and when he went to the Slate Treasurer he found there was .no money there for that purpose. He, therefore, ex ercised his police authority in the matter and ordered tbe work to be proceeded witn. In order to secure funds for this purpose he went so far as to pledge his own private property to obtain them. As the case now stands, his whole property is dependent on the next Legislature to make good the ex penditure. OF SUTBE1IE POWER. "The money, as has been stated, was ad vanced bv Philadelphia banking people, and whenever any money was needed to prosecute the work" a requisi tion was drawn on Governor Beaver. Furthermore, the work was ordered by the State Board of Health, and it must be un derstood tbst its power is supreme in mafe ters of that kind. The Board of Health has power to direct the highest officials, whenever a pestilence or any condition prejudicial to the public health is threatened. It has power to make any expenditure, and can demand that the taxpayers make good thecost oi the work. A pestilence Mas threatened on account of the polluted condition of the river and the bad state of the roads. By going ahead with the work, as has been done, much money has been saved, and without the least doubt tbe Legislature will make good the amount by an appropria tion." Certain parts of the report are not yet complete, but Colonel Hill is working on it, and will have it ready before long. Much trouble was experienced at first in trying to determine just what expenses should be as sumed by the State, and what by the relief commission. The work of burying bodies was at first taken hold of by the State, but afterward the relief committee met and as sumed the responsibility of this work. A transfer of certain accounts and items then became necessary, and delayed the comple tion of the report somewhat. The State has now withdrawn altogether from the case, and the city authorities are doing what they can to improve the place. CHICAGO WANTS A FULL BEPORT. Asking for tbe Poll Llt of the Johnstown Contributors. W. B. Thompson, Treasurer of the Johns town Flood Belief Commission, yesterday received a letter from the City Controller of Chicago, asking for a copy of the printed re port ot the contributors to the relief fund. , Sir. Thompson replied that the report was not out yet, but expected to have it in two weeks. The report is still in the hands of the printer. Owing to the large number of cor rections and additions, the work has been greatly delayed. It is curious, but it is nevertheless a fact, that contributions to the fund are still coming in. Last month Mr. Thompson received three small amounts from people in the Northwest. It was necessary to include these contributions in the report. Mr. Thompson is also careful to get the name of each and every contributor in the report. When the lists of contributors were published in The Dispatch last sum mer, a number of them were overlooked and their names left out. The contributors promptly wrote to Mr. Thompson, who had to have a correction made. One man who contributed 520 was apparently not satisfied? until he saw it printed three times. Mr. Thompson also received a letter yes terday from a Mr. Herty at Johnstown, who claimed not to have been treated properly by tbe commission. He rendered valuable ser vices to the commission in the payment of claims. He was known as an "identifier," and on account of his knowledge of tbe people of the town, he prevented a great many frauds from being perpetrated. He wants more pay for his services, but Mr. , Thompson can see of no way of doing any- thing for him. GOOD FOE BOATING BDSINjSSS. ZUrer Lines Securing Moil of the Frelsnt to the Northwest. Bumors have been flying around for the last few days to the effect that there was some cutting of freight rates being done on the quiet None of tbe agents ot the freight lines will admit that it is beidg done. Shipments by steamboat to Chicago and the Northwest are increasing, and all rail freight seems to be suffering from the com petition. Tbe rates asked by steamboat lines are from 2 to S cents less than those that are offered by the rail routes, Tbe steamboat companies are intending to build a small boat for the Allegheny river to carry considerable local freight, and the boat companies can make a large cut in this kind of freight. Bates to South western points are still low and the agents here hare received a notification of another cm of 8 cents to all common points in Texas. THE POLITICAL FIGHT. A Suggestion Meeting Without n Row In the Sixth Word Itlienonr Nominated for Council Chairman Foley to Reply to the Chnlloneo To-Day. A suggestion meeting was held in the Sixth ward last night, and nobody was hurt. The Republicans of the ward held a suggestion meeting at the Forbes school house that was remarkable for that ward in its harmonious action. The only objection of consequence raised was that of M. L. Malone, who, by reason of a sndden motion to close the nominations for Councilmen, failed to get his man named. He protested, and asked that the nominations be reopened, being seconded by H. H. Bengough. He then nominated Mr. "John S. Bitenour. The candidates sug gested were as follows: For Common Council, John S. Bitenonr, John Enrich and H. R. Newlin; School Directors, J. V. Hoag, Jacob Buch, George Jackson, H. L. Hoburg, William Martin, S. B. Charters, S. J. Greer; Ward Assessor, John Hamilton, Charles Fritz; Constable, Michael Hughes. Democratic headquarters were lively yes terday. The wards are all being carefully organized, but especial attention is being given to the Southside and East End. Chairman Foley expressed himself rather forcibly on the Republican challenge for a joint debate. He said: "It is a broadside bluff, and I do not think that the public generally will expect an actual response to it. I do" not believe that the Benublican committee expected an answer. My advice is to make none." The fight in the First Ward for the posi tion of Alderman has been put in charge ot Alderman Gripp, who is giving it his personal attention. The Magistrate said yesterday: "The contest is practically set tled. 'Squire Cassiday's own friends acknowledge that he is beaten." Chairman Foley, of the Democratic City Committee, was seen last night. He said he had not as yet decided what he would do in regard to the challence issued by the Be publican Chairman. However, he said he would write a reply to the challenge to-day, but he declined to say what its contents would be until after it had been formally sent. Mr. Gourley, tbe Bepublican candidate for Mayor, spent the greater part of yester day on the Southside, visiting the glass houses. He reported at headquarters that he had been well received, and that he was satisfied that there would be a change on the Southside from the Judgeship vote. An adjourned meeting of the Bandall Club was held last night. The committee appointed to draft suitable resolutions en the nomination of Judge Bailey reported. The resolntions which were adopted set forth the many good qualities of' Judge Bailey and the alleged bad record of Mr. Gourley. A Bepublican suggestion meeting of the citizens of the Twelfth ward, Allegheny, was held last night. The following ticket was suggested: Alderman, A. J. Brinker, William Bay, Edward Klotz and William Eisenbeis; School Directors, Edward L. Hoffman, George Diftter, Julius Ludwig, William Tncke and Thomas Matthews; Constable, Bobert Hughey; Poor Directors, Joseph Shaud, Jr., and A. Binder. The Bepublicans of the Fonrth ward, Allegheny, met last night and suggested the following names lor the ward ticket: Alder man, A. G. Neeley; School Directors, Lewis Mendel, Peter Beiseck, Bobert Brooks, William Green and B. C. Miller. The Bepublicans of the Fifth ward, Alle gheny,, suggested their ward ticket last night. It is: Alderman, M. G. Clark; School Directors, Charles W. Cochran, John H. Dean and Dr. J.W. Dickson; Constable, A C Stcnner, C. B. Wilson and Charles Cookson. The Tenth ward, Allegheny, Bepublicans will hold their suggestion meeting in the Charles street schoolhouse Wednesday even ing next. The Democrats of the Twenty-seventh ward will hold their primary election at the Monastery street schoolhouse to-night DELAMATEE'S HOPE. lie Says He Feels Cercnln Ho Can't be Bentcn for the Nomination. When Senator Delamater was in the city ashrt time ago he remarked to a political friend that he didn't care how the Alle gheny delegation voted, that he would cap ture the nomination anyhow. Then he added: "But if I do secure the nomination, as I expect to, I want to secure the votes of all the Allegheny county Bepublicans." WORK OP THE STORM. Sloppy Streets find Pools of Water to Ham per 1'edeatrlans Cattle Cars Unroofed on the Pennsylvania Road Some Dam nee Reported in Other Places. The average citizen chuckled to himself yesterday morning as he saw the snow fall, but about noon his joy began to waver, and at night it turned to gloom. During the day it grew warmer, and the snow turned to rain. It came down steadily all evening, making the streets sloppy and disagreeable. On the crossings the snow dammed up the water, and pedestrians were forced to wade through the floods. Strange to relate about midnight the man in charge at Davis Island Dam reported that the rivers were falling, but he wouldn't vouch' for their condition this morning. Like the fellow who spends his night in drinking, they might be gloriously full, though their capacity is large. East of Pittsbnrg the storm became furious. Toward evening the wind became fiercer, and in the Allegheny mountains trainmen on the Pennsylvania road reported the weather as very cold and about six inches of snow on the ground. All trains were delayed, and the through ones did not arrive until late last night. Between Derry and Latrobe the roofs were blown off 12 cat tle cars, leaving the poor animals exposed to the cold. Trees fell across the telegraph wires, but by hard work the men managed to keep the two lines open. The crew of the Yough express reported that much damage had been done by the storm along the Southwest Branch in the neighborhood ot Dunbar and Fairchance. On the B. & O. trains were also delayed by the snow in the mountains. Yesterday the Pleasant "Valley street car line brought out their new sweeper for the first time, and it did effective work in clean ing the Streets. The rough night knocked out about 50 per cent of the usual receipts nt the various the aters. New neckwear at James H. Aiken & Co.'s, 100 Filth avenue.

SECEETS OF MOUNDS. A Very Interesting Chat With a Well Posted Ethnologist. DIFFERENCES IN ALL GROUPS. A Critical Investigation of the Cobble Mounds Kecessarj to LEARX ANITEING OP TDEIE AGE. llodern Ellrer Plates That Hire Been Found In Some Each mounds. Gerard Fowke, a noted ethnologist, for merly of the Smithsonian Institution, and a member of the Ohio Historical and Archaeological Society, is at present in the city, visiting friends. He is on his way to Washington, to consult scientific author ities on matters in which he is interested. He has intimate knowledge of mound re mains, prehistoric relics, etc., throughout the country, and furnishes some very inter esting information concerning them. There is at present a gentleman stopping in this city who has qnite a reputation in certain scientific circles. His demeanor is so quiet and unassuming, however, that his presence would have been passed by totally unnoticed if a representative of The Dis patch had not by accident received an introduction, and the name recalled some of his notable achievements in the line of work which he has been fol lowing for many years. Gerard Fowke is better known in the East and West than in this vicinity, yet there are many who are sufficiently" acquainted with him to hear with interest of his presence in our midst. Several years ago he made an investigation archeologically speaking of the Monongahela valley and was much impressed by what he saw in various places. His interesting opinions concerning these, as well as other notable remains, are best told in his own language: NONE OP THEM ALIKE, "I opened a number of mounds up the river, and found, as is usually the case, that every separate group of mounds differ more or less in character from those of any other locality. For this reason it is advisable to open every mound, whether large or small, carefully, as there is no telling what may be contained in them. Tbe 'cobble mounds' up the valley may or may not be ancient. A conclnsiou can only be reached by a thor ough investigation. Among theearth mounds I observed a number of peculiar things. In one situated on the hill above Monongahela City I fonnd a well-preserved skull about two feet below the surface, filled to reple tion with snail shells. In several other skeletons were unearthed which were ar ranged different from any that have come under my observation before. "Begarding the age of these mounds, it is somewhat difficult to say anything positive. Many are certainly of great antiquity, while others again are Known to be ot quite mod ern construction. Some years since while in Mississippi engaged in this work I found a silver plate at nearly the bottom of a mound which bore the arms of Castile and Leon. This mound was on the Tallahatchee river at a point close to where De Soto, the Spanish explorer is said to have spent an entire win ter season. This would go far to prove that the earth work referred to has b een erected there since. Then there are mounds which show undoubted evidence of having been added too at various times. I have opened a number showing five different layers of earth, indicating as many diSerent epochs of construction. GEEAT CAGE NECESSftBY. "In every case they should .be opened with the most particular care, if scientific results are desired. Under no circumstances should a tunnel be bored horizontally to the center ot the mound. If but one shaft is made, it should be from the top downward; but, better still, take the entire work to pieces in sections, then nothing will be lost, and if a record is to be kept of any remains found therein, exact location can 'be noted. This system should be pursued in every case, as no mound is small enong'h to be slighted. Some of the most valuable relics have been discovered in earthworks so small as to almost escape tbe observation of the ordinary investigator. In small mounds in Boss county I faund remains of wooden houses, partially charred by fire, as if they had been set fire to and then the earth " thrown over them. Ohio is a great country for mound remains and Boss county seems to have been the location of tbe densest population of the people who constructed them. Many years ago, Squier and Davis, the celebrated arch aeologists, estimated the number of mound remains in Boss at about 500. I have been in that country very often in recent years and think 1,000 would be nearer the mark. The entire conotry in that locality is cov ered with earth works,stone graves and relics of all kinds. KOT ENOUGH KHOWH OP THEM? "It is a great pity that so many remains of interest' are destroyed by persons who have not the slightest knowledge of their character. I must confess that I did the same thing yeais ago, when Quite young; but the knowledge gained then has been of great value to me since in my researches. Then there is another class who go about the country rifling the mounds and other remains for no other purpose than to dispose of their finds to relic dealers in the East and else where. This is a great wrong, but there seems to be no way of overcoming the diffi culty other than to put the work into 'the experienced hands of men who will conduct it scientifically, and place finds of value in places where they will be of some value to those interested." Mr. Fowke is a native of Maysville, Ky., but during childhood has lived at various towns in seven different States. He was a student of the United States University, but left it to accept a, position in tbe Smithson ian Institution. He has been in nearly every State of the Union since his connection with that institution, and has discovered many peculiar and valuable remains and written a num ber of books and pamphlets on the suoject and its various phrases. At tbe present time the Bureau of Ethnology have a lnrge work of his in preparation which will in clude several hundred illustrations. He will remain in this city until to-night, possibly longer.

Communicated. BAILEY'S REPLY DISSECTED. HE BEMGlOCSIiY DODGES THE ISSUE. The Democratic Candidate Ignores material Parts of the Graff", Dennett & Co. Record Mure Pertinent Ques- tlons tor Illm to Answer. John H. Bailey, assignee ot Graff, Ben nett & Co., the nominee of the Democratic party for Mayor of Pittsburg, published in the newspapers of Friday his answer to the charges against him in the Graff, Bennett & Co. assignee matter and prefaces it with the remark that he is expected to answer to the public for every act of his life that-he is prepared to do it and begs lor no quarter. So be it. Mr. Bailey is hereby guaran teed a calm, dispassionate discussion from the records as to this matter that his answer to the Mcintosh, Hemphill & Co. et al. bill will be published, and that no assertion not made by or fairly inferable from the record will be used, and he on his part is expected to fully and fairly answer such matter in claim, unequivocal language acknowledging as trne such as he admits and designating specifically such as he denies. One of tbe greatest and most serious alle gations of record is that John H. Baijey, assignee, petitioned the Conrt of Common Pleas No. 2 of Allegheny county fora decree authorizing and permitting him to sell at public sale all the real estate of Graff, Ben nett & Co., subject to certain incumber ances only, and after due notice of the sale that John H. Bailey, assignee, sold all of the real estate above mentioned, including tbe rolling mills, blast furnaces, steel plants, factories, dwelling houses, etc , to the "syndicate" for the sum of 525,050, a grossly inadequate price and much less than its actual value; that tbe said properties are and were at the time of said sale worth at least 5500,000 over and above tbe incum brances subject to which they were sold. And the bill prayed for (among other things) the nullification and making void of the sale and deeds thereunder for said prop erties and for the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of said properties, such receiver eventually to be ordered and directed to sell and expose at public auction the said property for the benefit and advantage of the creditors of Graff, Bennett & Co. And yet, Mr. Bailey, your answer is most significantly silent upon this trans action. Ton do not even deign to notice it. Why? Beferring to the personal property, you sav, "No public sale of these effects was po'ssible." Why? You say, "A schedule would have given no information more than could have been obtained from the inven tory on file." At what did the inventory value the "remaining assets?" Would the total of the inventory 5652,605 94 less the real estate, $350,000; viz., $302,605 94, be the appraised value of the same If so, was not 550,000 a ridiculously low price for the same? But most marvelous of all is your state ment. "I could not ascertain their value be cause I had no means of information that was not possessed by the sworn appraisers, who failed to learn the yalue of a great many of them." Does not this part of your answer empha size the allegation that you were derelict in your duty? The reason you conld not ascertain the value of the goods intrusted to you to dis pone of is not apparent. They were tangible property, a large portion of which, like pig iron, ore, etc., had a market value daily and honrly. Did you examine all of the assets did you go into other counties and States and look at and inspect the property there? The syndicate had no tronble in valuing it, for the record alleges that it resold ontot the many items you thus sold it for ?277,000 in a short time alter your sale to it. You were appointed to learn the value of this property; you were to sell it at something like its real yalue; you disposed of property alleged by the records to be worth 5311,000 for 550,000 and defend your action by saying you "could not ascertain their value," thus admitting that you sold at private sale, the assets of this company for a certain sum at a time when you were actually in ignorance of the worth of the same would you so act with your own property? i Again you say: The "combination of creditors" comprised three-fourths in amount of the unsecured creditors, who tell me that they solicited the others to unite with them. The assets were not sold for 550.000, but I have reason to believe cost the purchasers $150,000. You will admit you had no right to sacri fice Graff, Bennett & Co.'s property. Then what difference does it make whether the "combine" included three-fourths or more of tbe creditors? Ot what avail is this ex cuse? Were you not bound to protect the assignors (Graff, Bennett & Co.) and the re maining one-fourth of the creditors? And you have reason to believe the assets cost the purchasers 5150,000, and they were not sold for 550,000. Don't you know even now what you sold them for? But if the syndicate paid 5150,000 for 5341,000 worth of property, and they have since sold eight items for 5277,000, and have $119,000 worth remaining, who got the worst ot the deal, the syndicate or Graff, Bennett & Co. and their creditors, even if said syndicate did pay $150,000, as you have reason to believe? Do you a lawyer and once a judge pre tend to say that because an indebtedness was against this property that no public sale of the same could have been made or that you, as assignee, could not have by selling some paid off the indebtedness and' thus held the balance clear? The records allege that the syndicate has been marvelously successful in this regard, and have sold item by item, eight of the pieces of said property, and have realized the handsome sum of $277,000 for the same. Are the fruits of these eight items more than you realized from the whole estate, real, personal and mixed? The record also alleges that you were in formed that you could sell the Connellsville Coal and Coke property for $50,000 before you sold to the syndicate, and you did not do so, and that after your sale to the syndi cate it sold to the sanieman this same piece of property for $50,000. If they could and did for this figure, could you not have done the same? Finally, was not one of the trustees of this syndicate, who were the beneficiaries of this deal upon which the syndicate hps al ready realized so large a profit, your own brother?

Fully 800 gripmen and their friends were present, and they enjoyed themselves hugely. It is sale to assume that if the weather had been in any way favorable the large hall would have been inadequte to accommodate the crowd which would have been present.

A Mystery Attached to a Heap of Old Clothes Found by Mr. King. THE WRITER'S IDEAS OP DEATH. BaAden Disappearance of tbe Old Coat, Test and Bat- tercel Hat. An old suit of clothes was found lying by the river at the foot of Twenty-first street yesterday morning. Tucked in the band of the old hat was a scrap of paper, on which was written a few lines of doggerel appro priate to a man's last act before consigning his body to a suicide's watery grave. Yesterday morning, about 7:30 o'clock, as John C. Bung was walking along the ties of the Pittsburg and McKeesport Bailroad, at the foot of Twenty-first street, he noticed among the shingles by the river side what appeared to be a heap of clothes. Mr. King, seeing no one in the immediate vicinity, felt a little curious to know how the clothes came there, and approached the spot. He found a well worn and slightly ragged coat and vest, together with an old battered hat. On closer inspection he noticed a folded sheet of paper stuck into the hatband. The paper, which Mr. Kingsubsequentlyshowed to a Dispatch reporter, was very dirty, and had evidently been picked np on the road. Upon it was scribbled a few lines of verse, which, although mere doggerel, if supposed to have been put together in a hurry, might have been the work of an edu cated man. The lines were as follows: The river is wild and dark to-night. And the shore lies hid from my acning sight; But wilder still with their storms of pain. Are my wounded heart and my throbbing brain; And darker far is that gloomy shore From whence my soul shall return no more. Mr. King said that he was not much of a jndge of poetry, so he put the paper in his pocket and continued his walk. Turning up Twentieth street, he met a friend a little way down Carson street, and showed him the' verses. Mr. King's friend suggested the idea of suicide, and together they re turned to where the clothes had lain, but the clothes had completely disappeared. Mr. King supposed that they had been taken away by a policeman, and they thought no more of the matter until he met a Dispatch reporter yesterday evening. The Southside police denied all knowl edge of the clothes when questioned' last night. Whether the owner of the clothes leaped to a watery grave, or whether another hand was guilty of the murder, it is impos sible to say. Ho body has been found, and the condition of the river prevents any at tempt at search. The river is fairly deep at the place where the clothes lay, and after the heavy rain and snow of yesterday would have easily drowned a man. One curious thing about tbe verses is that they bear the paragraph marks and mode of punctuation used only by newspaper men and other practical writers. metropolitan Hotel, New York. Messrs. F. J. Allen, of the Astor House, New York, and D. AL Hildreth, of the West End Hotel.

Boy Covered with Scabs My boy, aged nine years, has been troubled all his life with a very bad humor, which appeared all over hla body in small red blotches, with a dry, white scab on them. LaBt year he was worse than ever, being covered with scabs from tbe top of bis head to his feet, and continually growing worse, although he had been treated by two physicians. As a last resort. I determined to try the CCTICUBA Kemeoies; they did all that I could wish. Ihe humor rapidly disappeared, leaving the skin fair and smooth, and performing a thorough cure. GEOKGEF. LEAVITT, Ho.

The figures marked thereon don't lie. Look at them. You will find the former price crossed out and the present reduced price written directly below it. No secret marks anywhere, but plain figures only. A moment's glance at the price ticket will tell the whole story, and tell it so eloquently and convincingly that you'll not leave without buying. On many garments the extent of our re ductions is simply amazing. THE QUESTION WITH US NOW IS NOT WHAT A GARMENT IS WORTH, BUT WHAT IT - WILL BRING. The customer practically buys goods at his own price. But this cannot be helped. We are bound to turn our big stock of Winter Goods into cash. You, who have the money in your pocket, dictate your terms. We are bound to do your bidding if we want to sell our goods and sell them we must. THIS WILL BE JUST THE PROPER DAY TO BUY BECAUSE some e best things will then be on our counters yet, and you can just get what you want; pCPAIICp hundreds of garments will be sold to-day that'll be just the proper thing for present and early spring wear; DCQAUCC the best bargains are always captured by the earliest callers, and, finally, BECAUSE we ave ma(e special preparations for to-day to give our patrons a really grand treat. Our store will be open to-day, as usual on Saturdays, until 1 1 o'clock at night, and you can come in at any hour of the day and select Any Man's Overcoat, Any Boy's Overcoat, Any Man's Suit, Any Boy's Suit, Any Pair of Pants, Any Lady's Newmarket, Any Lady's Wrap or Jacket, Any Lady's Plush Garment, Any Miss' or Child's Cloak, Any Shawl or Fur Article, JM)R FULLY 50 PER CENT LESS than the same qualities of goods are sold for elsewhere. 3 t) 0 o 0 0 KAUFMANNS Fifth Avenue and Smithfleld Street WBOXiBSAXi: RAILROADS.
