By order L. P; Walker
Tbb Jamibtowm Ciotiiino Stori. We
would especially oall the attention of our
readers and the public Id geoerkl to the new
advertisement or tba Jamestown Clothing
Store, to be found elsewhere. Mr. A. Al
dan, tbe gentlemanly proprietor, bss just
relumed from tbe east with tbe Inest stock
or spring and summer goods, ot tbe latest
Paris and New Yoik lasbioos,. eves brought
, to Ibis region. The stock oonsista in ptrt
of summer overcoat, straw and- ship bats,
white and cheviot shirts, elegant neckties,
Bobby scirfs, linen vests and pant, and in
fact anything and everything In the line Of
clothing and gent's luroisbing goods.
Considering the very many new and novs
I attractions in tbe clothing line offered by
Alien, and the fact that be Is selling goods
at ruinous figures almost, there Is no need
for our QUIzens to ge out of town tor tbe
purpose of buying clothing, when tbey esn
get tbe ssme at borne Just ss cheap. An
examination of bis stock and prices 'will
convince allot the truth of this assertion.

About two o'clock tbls morning, while
honest peaceful citizens were wrspt In
slumbers, suddenly tbeir arose a "yell of
anguish, as ol demons jint let feonr from
pandemonium carousing In midnight revel.
Our reporter, startled from hlssweetdreame
of Innocence, hastily donned his clothing
and made a break for the street, supposing
ol course that something of fearful Import
bad occurred, and was already rejoicing In
tbe prospect of a first-class sensation Item.
Tho first sound tbat greeted his ear, was a
stream of vulgarity and black guard Ian
guage tbat would put to tbatne tbe most
abandoned, emanating from tbe mouth of a
woman, who was standing in the window of
a certain law office. In the second story of
Ibe brick hank building. Tbe noise ceased
for a few moments and was then resumed
by tbe woman, mingled with oaths and vile
language from one rr two men who were in
the room, and finally resulted in a geceral
breakdown and'collspse of tbe furniture and
stove at tbe bands ol tbe infuriated woman,
who It seems bad been locked in tbe room
by tbe men, and was striving to get out.
Subsequently tbo door was opened and tbe
trail woman let loose, and peace restored.
A word further. Tbe woman In question
Is a well known loose character, bad enough
for all common purposes, but what can be
said In palliation of tbe tMngs In human
form who thus outrage all manner of decen
cy and tbe feelings of respectable people,by
indulging In mldnlgbt broils and carousals
like that enacted last night, the details of
which are too disgusting for a bare recital
even. We would advise tbein to crawl Into
some convenient mud or post bote and pull
it in after them. We shall be compelled to
give tbe names of these men in full In ease
another such disgracelul affair comes nnder
our notice.
Tbe New York Tribune states that a num.
ber or Interesting experiments have lately
been made with what Is known as Amblet's
"vapor tud" machine. With this machine

vapor of hydrogen and carbon escaping
from a close generator under pressure, is it
self consumed, hydrogen gss of intense beat
belog lormed. Tbe experiments show a
saving of over fifty percent, over coal In
the manufacture of iron, glass and porce
lain, together with tbe entire utilization
of beat, with no smoke or ashes, and with
but one fourth tbe ordinary amount ol la
bor.

awakened by tbe shock aud being old settlers
immediately divined Ibe cause. They had
both sprang from bed, and both, by a
Strange fatality, bsd taken refuge in the
elevator. As soon ss tbe excitement con
sequent upon such an unlookedlor event had
cooled down, our Inhabitants ot the eleva

Each sat looking at the other, fearful of
sptfch, and still more fearful of discovery
by a group or young lellows wbo bad gath
ered In tbe hallway near tbe door or tbe
elevator, and were engaged In a humorous
discussion or tbe Incidents of Ibe "shake."
Match nights are not over sultry In Califor

parent when one is endisbabille io anjin
hospitable hotel elevator. While the young
men joked, tbe pair In the elorator shivered
and mentally deplored tbeir fates. All
things have an end, and so did the misery
of our Innocents. Tbe group in the ball
dispersed, and when all bee i mo quiet out
rushed our youth and following blm, our
maid. Both started for their separate
rooms, and both met "Boots," wbo was on

extensively tbat tbe young lady's pa was
