He alao saw him kneel on aeveral prostrate patients. Mr. Sipp's son proposes to investigate the charges made by Brandt. Ella Cammings, of Freedonia, told the jury that she kept a journal all the time she was in the asylum, and bad filled it with records of cruelty she saw practiced. She once saw a young woman scrubbed in a bath tab with a common mop. She struggled, when an attendant threw a handful of soft soap in her eyes. Abram White told the jury that it waa a favorite trick of the attendants to shake pstients by the shoulders and then give them a terhie blow in the abdomen with the knee. The Brandt affidavit has caused a deal of talk, for Sipp wa9 a well-known politician.Our rapidly increasing trade is due to the fact that we have the best and cheapest clothing. Facts are stubborn things to get over. It has been demonstrated beyond doubt that we are the leaders in the Clothing trade. How much more pleasing to the public must be our way of doing business than the old fogy path be amply paid for their time. Think how much bet- followed by other dealers. Never was there a time in the history of Jefferson county that such bargains were offered to all. Our counters groan under the weight of fine Clothing. New goods received daily. You will find our stock always complete. We know our business and attend to it. Our highest ambition is to please the people, and we feel sure that we can truthfully assert that any person visiting our store will dervor to give you a full list of the bargains we offer but will give you a few : ter it is to buy where you can look through and see the price marked on every garment—not in signs and wonders—but plain figures. No wonder our competitors squeal. We had the nerve to adopt one price and stand right over it. Not alone this, but the people have said by their patronage that they commend the course we have taken, and heartily endorse our motto, "One Price to All."

City of Mexico, April 29.—The novelty of a bull fight by electrie light drew an immense orowd to the Colon Plaza. Among the spectators were President Diaz and several members of bis Cabinet. The arena was brilliantly lighted by ten electric lights and the gaudy uniforms of the matadors fairly blazed. The door of the bull pen was thrown open and the first bull made a frantic rush at the picadors and in a minute was master of the arena, having killed one horse and gored two others. One matador and a picadore were laid out though not killed. The fighters became very timid and plied the sword from the side, being afraid to face the animal, as is usual. Of five bulls every one was desperate in the blazing light, and horse* and fighters were rolled over and tossed in a terrible manner. One swordsman attempted to kill the bull as he charged and was caught on the horns and tossed out of the arena almost lifeless. The result of the fight was fonr horses killed, several torn and crippled, two matadors nearly killed and several picadors disabled. The dazzling light seems to make the animals wild. This was the first time bull fighting has been tried by electrio light. - - - *■ TVR. WMPHYSICIAN JM9 8UBQE0N, rjgp i nil PA. Offer* hU profe«i*MLJ|MiM »° the citizene at fnmattiraiy MgMWWKi HR B. C.

IIarrisburo, Pa., April 39.—The Board of Pardons to-day recommended pardons in the cases of Michael O'Brien and Christopher Donnelly, of Schnylkill county, known as the last of the Mollie Maguires. Twenty-one members of that organization were banged. Many served various terms of imprisonment and a large namber fled the country when the murderous conspiracy was exposed. O'Brien and Donnelly were sentenced in 1876 to fourteen years each in the Schuylkill County Prison for complicity in the murder of Gomer James at Shenandoah and the attempted murder of the Major brothers and William Thomas at Mahanoy City. Commutation deducted, their sentence would have expired in Jane next, unless it should have been held that the two sentences imposed upon each did not merge, in which case they would have some two years longer to serve. 17 50 16 00 15 00 14 00 I no oo c/j 1100 £tt 3 12 oc >- te 8 00 • N-N to D CO 9 00 7 50 7 00 uo cn w 2 6 50 13 00 c/) 4 00 H 2 5 00 5/2 O z o J 7 00 0 00 5 00 4 00 3 50 8 00 6 00 7 00 4 00 5 00 3 00 2 50 2 00 - $ 1 40 j£ j 2 lh o Chicago, April 29.—There is mncli uneasiness among Westside Anarchists on account of Mayor Roche expressing a determination to close up their places where red-flagisra is being preached. The order has been given to Chief of Police Ebersold,and within a few days it will be sho *n whether Mayor Roche or the Anarchists rule Chicago. Their utterances of late bode -no good to the prosperity of this city, and it is believed that the time has about arrived to clip their claws. Harrison's attitude in permitting the blood-thirsty crowd to air itself has made them pugnacious, and the great strike which is billed for Monday may cause some violent break. Just as soon as some pressing mu-1 nicipal affairs are settled the order to attend to the Anarchists will be issued, and Chief Ebersold says that he shall carry the mandate out to the letter. Relentless m s Jn|«eru«ut. Khoto Mettle a Fued.

Our Furnishing Department Parkersburg, W. Va., April 29.—The tragical death of a young boy is reported from Beverly, east of here. Father and son went out to roll logs. The boy remained at the foot of a steep incline while his father worked above. Just aathe man, John Fauster, had started one of the large logs he saw Jhis son, about twenty-five feet above the bottom, watching something. The noise of the log and the distance prevented his being heard, so he started down the inoline in pursuit of the log, hoping to stop it before it reached his boy. Twioe he nearly reaohed it but fell. Just as he was within a yard of it the third time it strook hi* ion in the back with terrible force, jamming him into a pile of logs and crashing him terribly. With life not yet extinct be picked up the bleeding mass and carried it a mile to his home, bat before he reached there the boy was dead. The man sustained severe injuries in his ohase for the log.

He is somewhat of a recluse and is a quiet, inoffensive man. In the evening a crowd of masked men visited his place, each bearing what purported to be a present to him. A large number of packages contained but a single loaf of loaf sugar, some contained salt, others pepper. The intruders bent on malicious sport supplied themselves with a quantity of air slacked lime whioh they found somewhere on the premises and used it to make op some additional al packages. The lime was strewn upon the floor and trampled beneath their feet as they proceeded with their boisterous entertainment. Not satisfied with this and the dust caused by kioking the lime about, they sprinkled the floor with water. Then somebody olimbed to the top of the house and put as old door over the chimney. His companions had made a roaring hot fire In the fire-plaoe. The smoke soon filled the boose. To eap the climax, some one gathered up the packages of pepper that had been brought with them, amounting to half a poood or more, and threw it into the fire. The boisterous orgies then broke up in the midst of a grand sneezing chorus. _ The Ihrts rwUab Bsa4*.
