Boston will be horrifed, and the rest of the countrv will grin, though making a joke of a serious offense against the jaw cheapens the whole machinery of State government. PROPERTY TRANSFERS.

I Judge McJnnkin's stable was burned, late Monday night. It was rented to T. 1 A. Morrison, whose delivery horse was ! burned to death. There was some bav in the stable, and the intense heat cracked the windows and set fire to the Masseth & Black machine shop across the alley, bnt the firemen had no trouble saving it. The entire roof of the West Penn's round house, in Butler, was discovered to be burning, last Snnday evening, the water pressure was low. and the build ing and one engine were badly damaged The - fire is supposed to have had its origin in the spontaneous combustion of the oily waste used to clean the engines. A barrel of gasoline in the room did not t)ke fire though the barrel was charred, and a can of oil in the cupboard did not explode though the cupboard was burned. Sheridan station, on the Pan Handle road, a mile or two west of Pittsburg, was the scene of a remarkable calamity, last Monday evening In switching cars to make up a train a couple of tank cars containing naphtha were bumped together, which caused one of them to leak, the oil took tire from a switch light, there was an explosion, and fire, which in turn was communicated to two cars of oil. which also burned This made agrcat fire, and hundreds of people flockei to the scene and were watching it when three more tank cars, containing naphtha exploded, scattering the burning stuff over th- crowd, burn ing several people to death, and hund reds of others seriously.

RUNNING CHANCES is the nun who buys the cheap and iioorly made clothing simply because it is cheap. There are just as good bar gains to be had in good grades of goods, such for instance as our S2O suits. Running Chances is the mRn who rushes from this "alteration sale" to that "closing out bargains." The safe way is to patronize the firm that does business on the same principles you do. You know what you nave to deal with then. You Ret honest goods for honest prices, and don't save twenty-five cents nere to throw away seventy-five cents there. Chances are Not Running away from you, bat yon are running away from the chances for the best bargain* of the year in suits, when yon fail to look at oar suitings. Wedding Suits a Specialty.
