It becomes our sad duty to record tho
death of ono of our oldest and most re
epocted citizens, l'ctor Miller, at his homo on
Water.street, after a protracted Illness, of
iislhma. in his G3rd year. Sir. Miller
has resided in our midst for tho past twenty
ono years, and followed tho occupation of
miner at tho different collieries in tins
-vicinity until n few years ago, whon tho
Jn.l.llmia illKiMisn to which miners uro so
prone, especially thooo of former years when
mino ventilation was not a3 rigidly enforced
as at present, fastened itbdf upon him so
firmly as to incapacitato him from furthor
labor and finally terminated in Ills death on
Saturday morning last. Ho buried his wife
nlmnt three Years aco. u fact that added
crcotly to the sorrow of his declining years,
A largo family of grown up children are left
behind to sincerely mourn hi9 demise, as
follows: John, Frank, Henry, Mrs. Michael
Wayne, Joseph and Frederick, married; and
Margaret, Peter and William, single. He
was a kind and affectionate father and an
exemplary citizen, ltegretted by a large
circlo of relatives and friends, his loss to this
community will bo deeply deplored.
It was with a profound feelings of sorrow
and regret that tho announcement was re
ccived on Tuesday evening that Mis3 Manio
Howo, daughter o( Jeremiah Howo, on
Water street, bad departed this life at the
homo of her parents, of congestion of the
brain, in her 22ud year. Miss Howe had
been seriously ill for some weeks prior to hor
death, but no fatal results wero apprehended.
About a week ago her condition assumed a
most alarming phase and tho best medical
skill obtainable was called to her bedside
and tho most devoted caro bestowed upon
hor by a lond mother, proved unavailing in
deterring the grim reaper from claiming his
own. The deceased was a charming young
lady and had a wide circlo of acquaintances,
Tho sympathy of the community goes out to
the narents in their sad bereavement. Tho
funeral took place on Thursday morning and
was largely attended. Iiequicm High Mass
was said over tho remains by liov. James
Magin, after which it proceeded to Frackvlllo
where interment was made.

FINE DRESS GOODS
TPVRESS GOODS is such a bewildering topic
IjJ) that we will not attempt a full descrip-
tion, but give a partial outline, which you
can fill in by a personal inspection. There are
the plain and changable diagonals; plain, plaid,
striped and invisible plaid serges; fancy mix
tures in all sorts of odd weaves, dots, threads,
cross-threads, hair-lines. lines here and there,
many at a glance appearing alike, but upon ex
amination are found entirely different. Our
assortment of silks is complete china silks,
china surah, plain surah, bengaline, plain, fig
ured and changeable silks, in all the new shot
effects. Full line of fancy braids to match any
color of dress goods.
In Wraps
Wo find Jtho most stylish and
tho prevailing tnodo to bo the
Capo, In somo of its variations,
singlo, double or triple capes. Somo aro plain, others very
highly decorated, with fa"ucy indesccnt braid, huttorfly
colors, or somo full arrangement at tho neck, so much ap
proved this season by tho feminino fancy. To some, coats
only aro tho correct garment. To thoso wo would say coats
aro equally fashionablo and stylish, many of these having
capes also attached sometimes ono, two or three, as tho
tasto or inclination of tho wearormay dosiro.
We have this season, for the first time,
added a Millinery Department, and have spared

expectations. This department will be under
the same management and conducted on the
same principles that have always characterized
our entire business. We shall keep everything
in trimmed and untrimmed hats, novelties of
every description. Having secured a trimmer
noted for her artistic and skillful work, we are
enabled to suit all tastes. We invite a careful
inspection of our entire store. All welcome.
