IlYE KEWS FROM THE THEEE STATES
rFrECIAL TELEOKAM TO TBI DXBr.LTCR.1
Fravklkt, March 22. The residence of
X. P. Tobin, a leading merchant tailor, was
destroyed by fire this morning, and tbe re
mains of 31r. Tobin were found in the de
bris. There are many theories as to tbe
cause of the fire and death of Mr. Tobin.
The body was found in a crouched position
in the parlor, the head resting; in a pool of
blood, and oyer the eyes there was a big
bruise. There was found at the kitchen
door a brace and several bits. These and
other points lead to the general belief that
Mr. Tobin surprised some burglars at
work, and in the struggle that followed he
was murdered, and the house fired to con
ceal the crime.
The body was burned beyond lecognition.
An inquest is now being held, at which it
was brought out that marks resembling the
imprints of a man's finger nails were dis
covered on the dead man's throat. The in
quest will not be completed before Monday.
Several persons haTe been arrested. AH un
known tramps who were seen aronnd that part
of the city where Tobin resided wcro arrested,
but as jet tl.crc has been no evidence to eon
iiert tbem with the crime.
Two ears ao a creat sensation was caused
by the lindiwr of the dead body of Mr Tobm's
daughter. JIary. in the waters of Long Island
Pound, near Clifton, and it is generally be
lieved sue as murdered, but the mjstervsur
roundinc her death has never been cleared
away. Mr. iTohin's mysterious death has
caunl a sensation here.
Tobin was alone m the house, Mrs. Tobin and
the,r two children having left Saturday even
ing ith a friend to spend Sunday at 'Waterloo,
six miles fiom the citv, where jur. Tobin was
to hat c joined them to-day, and attend a quar
teily meeting of the Methodist Church. He
wis a man of jrrcal phj sioil strength, and it is
thought that there were several assailants in
order to have overpowered him. The autopsy
ma'de by Doctors Lcaderbam, Nicholson and
Ualbrith. showed that he was not stifled bv thn
smoke, but was wolently choked to death. The
muidcrers no doubt were tramDs. as three

By thoSnpremo Court Decision Kelatlve to
Street Improvements.
rFFICI.11. TKLEGUXM TO TUX DISPATCH1
McKeesport, March 22. The McKeesport
officials are congratulating themselves over tbe
idea that the reoent decision of the Supreme
Court in the reference to the street improve
ments will not affect McKeesport, and the
reason given is that the street improvements
here were done under the act of April, 1S67.
This act is cot the one specified in the
Supreme Court's decision, therefore the de
cided opinion given is that McKeesport will
not be barred from collecting the great amount
of money due the city for street improvement.

You can't 'possibly get a new hat
too soon. The new one will afford
you all the protection that the old,
dusty and greasy one does, and
prices will be no lower a month
hence than now. We have in stock
every shape hat that's manufactured
that's in style. We can sell you the
Knox, Youman or Dunlap shape,
made on the same block, made by
the same men, and save you at least
a third of the price asked by ex
clusive hatters.
We illustrate herewith three of
the leading styles this spring. The
top one goes by the name of the
'Manhattan," and can be obtained
in different heights of crown and
widths of brim. It is a popular
hat with gentlemen of the metropo
lis, and you'll soon see a great
many of them on the streets of
Pittsburg.
The center one is one of the most
sensible shapes in the market to
day. We've named it the "Gusky."
We secured ioo dozen of these from
a party whp supplies a well-known
hat-manufacturer whose goods are
never offered at retail for less than'
$S- Last Saturday, to commence
the hat business with a rush, we
offered them at the low price of
6.49. $2.49

of the "Fifth Avenue" Silk, the

Children's Hats.
Altogether, we sell more hats

It lies in the fact that we give better
value in hats than can be obtained
elsewhere.

This tvill be the most extensive
and beautiful display of Milli
nery tve have ever made. Hun
dreds of pattern hats and bonnets
to select from in the. very latest
ideas of Paris and London. A
perfect panorama of bewildering
beauty, and it will be well worth
your while to visit this opening,
even if you don't buy. The thous
ands of life-like flowers tvill make
one think that fickle spring has
come to stay at last. All the new
est and most stylish creations in
Trimmed Hals and Bonnets,
Toques, Round Hats, LargeHats,
Plaques, in fact, all the nciv
shapes trimmed in every way
that human ingenuity can sug
gest. Flowers, Gold, Silver, Tin
sel, Jeweled Lace, etc., are used
in reckless profusion this season
for the decoration of ladies' hats
and bonnets. We have no space
to enter into an elaborate descrip
tion. We can only extend a cor
dial invitation to you all to call
and see them for yourself. You
will be- both surprised and de
lighted with your visit.
This and the Millinery are
really sister dejmrtments. Vir
tually one is dependent on and
essential to the other. The most
beautiful hat never gives satisfac
tion when combined with an in
different wrap, The most mod
ist wrap is spoiled by conjunction
with an ungainly hat. This be
ing the case we have decided to
hare our Grand Sjrring Opening
in these two departments on the
same day. In our store the two
departments touch. There are in
just the same position relatively
as these two columns. The cloak
department to the right, the mil
linery to the right. In our as
sortment of
Spring Wraps and Jackets '
We have combined style with
economy. All our garments are
in the latest styles of designs and
materials, and the 2r ices are very
moderate. An immense display
of Wraps, Jackets, Reefers, Blaz
ers, Long and Short Capes, Fich
us, Summer Wrappers, etc., in
all the new shades, patterns and
materials.
THE OLD RUT
and old methods are not the easiest by far. Manv neonlo travel them
because they have not tried the better way. It is a relief from a sort
of slavery to break away from old-fashioned methods and adopt tha
labor-saving and.strr jigth-sparing inventions of modern" times. Get oils
