Spcclnl Olllcor Levy's Story Is Con trndictcd by Kyc-Witncsscs. Henry Williams was arrested yes terday afternoon by Special Olllcer Levy, n man employed at the Bell clothing house on Lackawanna avenue. The charge made by Levy on the pplice docket was that Williams threw a little girl Into the stieet. John Hunden, car dispatcher at the Traction company office, who witnessed the arrest, says that Williams and his wife were having a quarrel as they came out of the clothing house. Wil liams was not creating a disturbance, nnd wan walking along with his wife nd thiee small children. He picked up one of the children, a girl, and was currying her when the special appeared and actually fqiced Williams to drop tho child to tho sidewalk. Tho baby's lip was cut. The special then escorted Williams to the station house and lodged the charge against him. Williams' wife and tho children ap peared nt tho station house later In tho afternoon und had her husband re leased until this morning. They live In tho North End. ALL KINDS OF WARES. Just n Pointer or Two About Some of tho Goods Sold by Cloinons, Per nor, O'Mnllcy Co., One oftho City's Vow Importing Houscs--Hcro Are n Few Facts of Ron), Livo Interest. There Is a reflex action somewhere between the course of Old Dame Na ture und those Bkiltcd purveyors who minister to her children's needs. What ever Is blessed with tho complicated activities of existence tries to add to its attractiveness, and hence to its possessions. Thl may seem deeply rhllosophlcol; but It Is also a common sense reason for spring openings. From the mement that the first faint blush of the ntbutus Is coyly seen among the snow drifts', every other bud nnd blossom with buds clustering about it, for that matter, Is watching for the best spring opening, and the fact suggests the bits bf poesy In fab ...c rications and econbmlc prose In prlea, which is to be found at the well-known establishment of demons, Ferber, O'Malley Co,, (limited), whose capa cious Importing warehouse, at 422 Lackawanna awnue, Is now teeming with nil the fancies of the season. In the newest goods which can make homo beautiful, and the season mem orable. Others claim to have good3 of equal quality but none have the temerity to clnlm prices so low for the values de livered. They can not do this, for tho Arm Is known to be the largest Im porters In Northeastern Pennsylvania, nnd, dealing at purely first hands has no real competitor. When one goes through the well nppolnted bazaar which Is tho h'olne of so much luxury, It Is difficult to pick out vihat 13 most attractive; but one can not get thiough the first floor without reveling In a wealth of China which 1 1 vets every eye tmlncd to the beautiful. Here are all the deft pro ductions of the French Kilns. Dainty Havlland, with delicate traceries of spilng against their translucenco which bring the wild-woods to one's own board. The Charles Field Havll arjd, equally ait 1st if, R. Delllnler & Co., and L. Sazarat & Co., equally prized by conntsseurs and appreciated by those who love the beautiful and yet are not posted on makers' marks. They don't have to be in this house. Nothing Is sold, except tho genuine, and that, during this opening, at prices which are surprising. And then come Carlsbad wares. All know what they are; but few have seen such novel shape3 and fascinating conceptions. That standby, Ihe En glish porcelain, the Gibraltar of the housewife and the caterer, lias also new shapes, and Maddox, genuine Wedgowood, Furnival, or Powell & Bishop, have equally attractive prices attached to them for the opening. But more light on the situation. Just look at the lamps. Jasper, of Scriptural record; onyx, gold, silver, the queer conceits In Dresden, or wrought Iron all these take up an Im mense iloor space, and represent every line th'at Is worth presentation: But rlcht here Is a department of prismatic brilliancy which will hold the shopper spell-bound. It Is the my Had factn of unique cut glas3 which hypnotize, or possibly more, the prices that nie made for this special opening hypnotize. Dorillnger & Sons', nnd Clarke's glass stand par excellence, nnd nil tho winter months the busy grinders bent over their rapid wheels to mako this consignment tho best that has been turned out from their extensive works this many a day, and all at low prices for the opening. Clarence Couk says In "House Beau tiful" that the balance of good taste lies la the small decorations. Consid ered from this standpoint the display of bric-a-brac and art goods becomes most interesting. The best concep tions, Belleck.Wedgewood, Royal Wor cester, Royal Bonn, Teplitz, Dresden, Severes, and Royal Vienna, all have full representation and cun satisfy the most fastidious. Many of these gems of art have never been seen outside of the large cities, and none of them except as single pieces put In some small establishment with a fabulous price attached. Here they constitute a small art gallery In themselves, and the prices attached are themselves an occular demonstration of (he enormous amount of Importing done by this loading house, else they could never sell so cheap. It Is rather a delicate matter to write a general description of such an emporium s this, and then suggest baby carriages to a quite mixed audi ence; but if you need them, they are there Just the same, and such as would tempt even the most confirmed bachel ortomatrlmonyjustforthe sake of get ting such beauties fcr so little money. Then you know, the baby will have to have milk, and this must be kept cool at the least expense for Ice, and the most perfect sanitation. Do you know anything better for that than one of tho Jewett's Patent Charcoal-filled Refrigerators, and water-coolers? They are the cheapest because they nnd the best, and the best because they do not cost at this opening any more than the Inferior articles that are be ing palmed off on the public as cheap. And now to tho b.-d-room; what Is piettler, more sensible, more within the reach of every purse, or made in more artistic styles to meet the diversifica tion of tattes than tho American ware that Is taking its place on veral con tinents. This fltnv haa Just received one of the largest and most complete lines that ever left the celebrated fac tories, and It Is made a special price feature for tho opening. If you want to get something more expensive and also more friable, there Is just as large a stock of the Imported to select from. It would bo superfluous to say there arc Jardlnlers, pedestals, umbrella stands and all that sort of thing In all tho wares In which such articles ore manufactured. "Whatever constitutes a full stock Is represented, and tho teeming floors offer to Inspection a per fect museum of curiosities. But tho stock does not alone constitute the mu seum. It Is the price list that will do that for any one who vlalts the operi Ing during the next few days. Th'e demons, Ferber, O'Malley Co. is mak ing this special drive becuuso It has for years permed the policy which has given It such prominence. Although for the next few days tho prjees are shaded down to meet the requirements of spring nnd summer shopping, the goods are all standard, and are all such as they always carry In stock. Anything that you buy, comes from a first-class maker, and can always be duplicated. They sell nothing which they will not guarantee to match any time, your, cook or, maid Is unfortu nate with your choicest possessions, and the prices will sul,t you. , Clomons, Ferber, O'Malley Co. SEVENTY ACRES OF COAL LAND LEASED Part oi tlie Canavaa Trad, Near Nay Aug Park. WILL BEGIN OPERATIONS SOON Prospcctlvo Operators Are John G. Gllllgnn, Patrick ."UcNulty, Anthony McIIalo nnd Philip Hnstlnt--Tlic Lessor Is John P. CnnavnnSlmft Sinking Will Jlcgln July 1. Negotiations were perfected recently for the lease of seventy acres of the Canavan coal tract In the Tenth ward of this city and the southeastern part of Dunmoro nnd according to agreement a coal colliery will be In operation there within six months' time. Tho "breaker will be located near Nay Aug park between tho Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western nnd tho Erie and Wyoming Valley railroad tracks. The capacity of the colliery can bo Judged by tho fact that tho shaft will be sunk five hundred feet; that three veins will be worked in co-operation, and that one of tho veins has a depth of eight feet of the best coal. Another thing which gives to th'e transaction a substantial and serious air Is the Identity of the prospective operators. The new company consists of John G. GlUigan, formerly foreman at the Richmond colliery; Patrick Mc Nulty, Inspector of tho Pennsylvania Coal company; Anthony Mcllale, fore man of the Nay Aug Coal company, and Philip Hastings, John P. Canavan Is the lessor. Mr. Canavan was first proprietor of the coal colliery In Petersburg, the break er of which was burned to tho ground se'veral weeks ago. The tract of land ndlolns Nay Aug park on tho easterly side. Operations will be "begun at sinking the shaft on July 1. SOLDIERS WERE NOISY. Company B Did Not Tip-Toe Into the Crlttenton Meeting, Held Last Evening. The Crlttenton meeting last night In the armory was attended by a good sized audience. Rev. George E. Guild occupied a seat on the platform and participated In the meeting. Mr. Crlttenton spoke on "Behold, He Standeth at the Door and Knocks." Tho immortal passage was used to flno advantage by the speaker. He likened the conscience to the poor and the feeling of wrong that Is done as the knock of Jesus. The pangs of re gret of an 111 deed or an omitted act were also characterized. At one time during the latter part of Mr. Crlttenton's address the mem bers of Company B marched Into the armory and Interrupted the service for a few minutes. The soldiers were re turning from an outdoor drill. Mr. Crlt tenton was Just a bit rebuking In his remark: "We'll stop tho service we do not wish to disturb them" meaning the soldiers who were making the clat ter In the rear of the armory. The meeting was afterward continued. At tho after prayer meeting a large number responded to Mr. Crlttenton's appeal. Mr. Crlttenton will give a Bible read ing this and tomorrow afternoons at the Grace Reformed church. The last meeting In the armory will be held tonight. Tomorrow night the "farewell" will be given In Elm Park church. m DEADLY AFTER-DAMP. Killed Martin Smith In the Phoenix Colliery nt Durycn. Martin Smith, a Polander, was found dead In the Old Forge Coal company's Phosnlx colliery at Duryea on Satur day morning. The Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer says: "It Is Impossible to tell Just how the accident happened which resulted In Smith's death, though It Is known that ho was in the mine, and had gone Into one of the old workings where he must have fired a body of gas. Men In other parts of the mine heard the explosion and In going in the direc tion where It occurred, found tho doors and brattices blown down, "These had to be replaced in order to restore circulation, after which an Investigation was made, which result ed In the discovery of Smith's dead body, at 1.30 p. m. Saturday. The re mains were not burned and It Is sup posed death was caused by after damp." ROYAL FAMILY SOCIAL CLUB. Was Recently Organized for Socinl Purposes Only.

Tho bids for furnishing clothing supplies to tho en tire Indian service have been finally cancelled, and new bids will .be called for by Comlssloncr of Indian Affairs Jones, to be opened In New York city, July IB or 17. The Investigation of tho way In which the old specifications wero framed, by which ono of the bid ders, It Is alleged, would have secured the contract through useless technical requirements has almost been con cluded. Collusion of certain employes has been charged and It Is possible that several removals may result In the In dian bureau.
