stantly followed. Mr. Kelly went to
visit Mr. Dugan, who was ill yesterday,
and was alone with his friend in a room
on the second floor. When he rose to
leave he started for the stairs, and upon
reaching them missed his footing in
some manner. He came down the steps
head foremost. The fall broke his neck,
I and when picked up by Mrs. Dugan and
j John McNulty, of South Ileberton, who
were sitting in a room at the foot of
the stairs, he was dead.
Mr. Kelly was an old and respected
resident of town, and with his wife
lived with his daughter, Mrs. James
j Carey, on Centre street below South,
j The remains were immediately taken
| to his home.
j Besides his wife the deceased leaves
| two sons and three daughters. Oue of
j the sons, Edward, is in Illinois, the
I other lives at home. Of the three daugh
ters one is Mrs. James Carey and the
other two live in New York city. All

board walk, became frozen, and Mr.
O'Donnell walked quickly across the icy
boards. As he did, he fell, and two ribs
| were broken by the violent shock. He
| is suffering considerable pain at present,
and although no fatal results are expect
led the injuries are of such a nature that
| he will be laid up for some months.

a resident of Chestnut and Pine streets,
met with a distressing accident on Satur
day afternoon about 2 o'clock. She was
going around the corner of her residence
when she slipped on tho ice and fell
upon her left thigh, breaking it near the

vanced years she is in a critical condi
tion, but her physician, Dr. McDonald,
is hopeful of her recovery.

of one per cent below what it was last
I month, making it 9 per cent below the
$2.50 basis.

Great Railroad Scheme.
From the Munch Chunk Guzetto.
The Atlantic and Pacific Railway |
Company, behind which there is a pow
erful English syndicate, has had a corps
of sixteen engineers at work here for a !
week surveying their line through Car
bon county. The railway is to be an air j
line across the continent from New York j
to San Francisco, and passes through I
Chicago, which city will be brought!
within fifteen hours of New York, and
San Francisco forty-five hours of New
York. .The English syndicate, it is said, i
have contracted to take 150 millions of '
tho bonds, and have placed a bill in the
hands of Congressman Childs, of Illi
nois, asking the government's endorse
ment of the bonds, in return for which
the railway company is to turn over 51
per cent of its capital stock to the govern-,
ment as a present.*
The survey is now completed from the
Mississippi to the Delaware. Construe- 1
tion is to begin next spring, and the I
division between New York and Chicago
is to be finished within five years. The ]
first town on the line east of Mauch
Chunk is Beividere, N. J., and the first
one west is Bloomsburg.

supposed great railroad wreck sale came to town other merchants have marked down their
prices and advertise to sell at cost; and some erCn at bc.b>w cost. Through all their slaugter
tng and marking down of prices we hare stuck to our prices—the 'prices we advertised
three or four weeks ago to sell our goods at, and even now we arc at least E] FTEEN TO
TWENTY PER CENT. CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER MERCHANTS.
