Anybody would think New York
never had a mayor from the fuss it is
making over who shall be its next new
toy.
Mn. Carmichaei,, who is running for
congress in this district, will never take
his seat. And it is consequent!)' feared
that he will become a standing candi
date.
Sir Charles Dilke says lie intends to
devote the rest of his life to clearing up
his reputation. It is too bad that he is
not much younger, as he lias a gigantic
task before him.
That miserable serial story “Livingor
Bead,” palmed off as Hugh Conway’s,
has been running so long in the country
papers that readers almost wish Hugh
Conway were alive to put a stop to it.
A iiaby has been born to a couple in
St. Joseph, Mo., the fattier of whom iH 71
years of age and the mother 65. The lit

first gazed on his lusty parents.
The way the New York politicians
praised each other at the rally meeting
tho other night was nauseous to an ordi

Yuh, they rally meant it.
An ex-artist who Imd become a lawyer,
was recently invited to make a speech at
a Missouri agricultural fair. In the
course of his remarks, lie said that “a
cow without horns had an unfinished ap

This unseemly quarrel over Tilden’s

just the same though, us we are not dying
anyway yet.
The telephone has proved a great
blessing in many curious ways. In one
Connecticut telephone office during tho
last three years eighteen switch girls
havo married subscribers on the line.
Tho eighteen subscribers havo displayed
a praiseworthy fondness for rining tele
phone belles.
It is declared that the hoodlum office
holders in Now Orleans will take any
thing. This statement might he modi
fied a little. They have failed to take
the hints the press has given then of a
dies ime oy and by. But after all, they
won’t need a hint as hud as a hiding
place when the day of wrath comes.
Mr. Blaine, who is demonstrating in
Pennsylvania that lie can deliver eight
speeches and travel three hundred miles
in one day and still feel fresh, lmd a fall
at Scranton, where a platform gave way
under him. It was not a serious fall,
hut Mr. Blaine should not forget the old
adage about the pitcher that goes to the
well once too often.
The prolonged drouth which is being
severely felt in many sections of the
country can scan-civ fail to he followed
by a heavy down-pour accompanied with
destructive Hoods. An enormous quan
tity of moisture has been evaporated
and, according to the inexorable laws of
nature, it must return to the earth from
which it arose. It may he that the pre
cipitation will he gradual in the form of
the haze which gives so much beauty to
tlie true "Indian Summer.” But, in any
case, a spell of damp or rainy weather
cannot be much longer delayed.
TIIK ELECTIONS TO-lliY.
To-day elections will he held for mem
bers of the Fiftieth congress in thirty-live
states, in which HL8 members of the
lower house will ho chosen.
Tho house of representatives is com
posed of:i2o members, of which seven'
havoalready been chosen, viz.: Four in .
Maine, two in Vermont and one in
I Oregon—all republicans. As the present I
| representatives, from these states are re- '
| publicans, there will he no change in
| their political representation. The
i Forty-ninth congress is composed of 1 s-J ;
j democrats and 141 republicans; hence, iu :
I order to secure a majority of one, the j
| latter party will have to make a net gain 1
: of twenty-two members,
j Seven states, Rhode Island, Oregon, |
| Alabama, Arkansas, Vermont, Maineaml :
| Georgia, have already elected governors j
this year, of whom four are democrats j
j and three republicans. Seventeen states
will choose governors to-day. Of these
nine have republican governors, viz:
Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Massa
chusetts. Michigan,Minnesota, Nebraska,
New Hampshire and Wisconsin. The
eight states having democratic governors
arc California, Delaware, Nevada, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas. Besides electing
state officers, several states will vote on
constitutional amendments.
Some of our able young journalists are
over-working the word “lurid,” we think.
It is a tempting and taking word for the
class of writers addicted to “weird” ex
pressions. But it is not precisely descrip
tive to speak of tlie rod glare of a confla
gration ns a “lurid scene,” nor is it accu
rate writing to say a red-haired young
man has a “lurid top-knot,” as wo had
the opportunity to read the other day.
The first and principal meaning of the
word “lurid,” ms set forth iu Webster, is
“ghastly, pale.” It may mean “gloomy”
also or “dismal,” hut never flaming, fiery
nor any sort of red, though these able
journalists seem to say so.
CLETKRIIS, THE Ml'IlDKKKB.
Thomas J. Cluverius, tlie betrayer and
murderer of Miss Fannie Lillian Madison,
has been resentenced to death and the
date set is December 10. Every resource
of the law and its interminable techni
calities has been exhausted to save him.
There is now nothing hut the governor’s
clemency between him and the hang
man’s rope. Governor Lee is not the
man to interfere in a case of this kind.
Cluverius will hang, and he ought to.
Tlie friends of Cluverius have a way of
tearfully declaring, “Poor fellow, the
lesser crime brought on the greater; the
betrayal of the girl, under the peculiar
circumstances, inducing her murder.”
The betrayal may have been the lesser
crime, and the murder the greater in law.
But are their attitudes not reversed in
morals? Theologians have disputed for
ages over the mysterious, “unpardonable
sin” hinted at, hut not defined in tho
Scriptures. May it not be the so-called
“lesser crime,” alluded to by the lawyers
in the Cluverius case? If tho human
body is “a temple for the indwelling of
tlie Holy Ghost,” to violate it may be
the “unpardonable sin.” It may he as
the members of tho Richmond, bar de
clared that the betrayal of a young girl
is a smaller crime, and the committing
of murder a greater one in law ; hut the
man who commits the former is not fit
to shake hands witli the man who com
mits the latter. Cluverius ought to hang
for either one of the crimes alone.
HATTON I1E A HI) FROM.
Alcohol has a local action on the mucous mem
brane,with which it is in contact jit causes a reflex
action on other organs through tlie sensory
nerves of tho skin and mucous membranes, and
lnstly it has an action on the brain, spinal organs
and other organs, to which it is conveyed to the
blood.--Chicago Mail.
This is a specimen editorial from l^'rank
Hatton, ex-postmaster general, who now
edits the (’hieago Mail. It is safe to say
that after this labored effort Mr. Hatton
went out and took a snifter to brace him
on the one lmnd and drown his con-
seienceon the other.whiiehe attacked the
president’s method of distributing post
offices. The distinguishing feature of
Hatton’s career as postmaster general is
the fact that he named eleven offices uf-
ter h i nisei f.
A Wasiiinoton special gives a very
unfavorable account of Secretary Man
ning's health, and it now appears that
the predictions of those who argued that
his public usefulness had passed away
with the occurrence of the original attack
were not far from tlie truth. Mr. Man
ning still retains considerable mental
power, hut it is quite clear that tlie par
tial paralysis following his apoplectic,
seizure lias left him in a condition
entirely unfitted for any heavy or pro
longed official effort.
Hon. Dan Lockwood, who was sworn
in last week as United States district
attorney for the northern district of New
York, shocked the president and his
civil service adherers by coolly declaring
“There is not going to he any civil service
nonsense attached to my office.” Dan
Lockwood is not only nervy hut right.
Old Hickory has been dead for many a
year, but the spoils are still the property
of the victors. “Times change, and men
often change with them, but principles
never." •
A society has been formed in London
which has for its object tlie prevention
of hydrophobia- It does not believe in
shutting tlie stable door after the horse
is stolen, and claims that dogs should he
killed before instead of after biting peo
ple. It seeks reform in the dog laws and
will wage warfare against dogs of low
degree. Mongrel curs, says this organi
zation, should be summarily killed rather
than pounded. There is a great deal of
common sense in the claims of tlie
society, but what will Henry Bcrgh say ?
A DEADLY COMBAT.
Ha Kish CommlKHioii'n I’t'l Llztril MiinvtcKa Two-
Vinr-Olil Alligator.
Wasiiinoton, October 31.—A rare com-
bat took place this afternoon in a building
occupied by the Hah cat lmission between
two little pets of that institution whose
likes have probably never found them
selves in such elooe proximity since the
ages of feathcrless birds, wiutred reptiles
and web-footed quadrupeds. The aggres
sor, and the victor os well, was the newly
arrived Gila (pronounced Helaj lizard from
the Gila river, in Arizona, tho only apecics
of lizard whose bite is known to be poison
ous, and the victim was a two-year-old al
ligator from Florida. The lizard is 14 inches
long, ami about twice the weight
of his antagonist;. Bot i reptiles
were in a semi-torpid condition,
having ceased to take food a
week or two ago, and for some purpose
they had been removed from their glass
cases atm placed beside each other upon
the stone floor. An attendant inadvertent
ly touched the alligator’s tali, and caused
him to move sluggishly onward a few
inches, where he came in contact with the
blunt nose of the lizard. The snaky eyes I
of the latter lighted up with a gleam" of !
sat.inio malevolence, its black: lips opened |
wide, and its jaws closed with a snap upon ;
the fore paw of the alligator. Tho pria- I
oner developed unexpected activity, and, j
though taken at a sad dis advantage, made
for a time a galiant tight for its liberty and
its life. Its movements wore marvelously |
quick, and its jaws closed a dozen times in I
succession upon the mailed head of the
assailant. It soon, however, became ex
hausted, and, moaning like a I
suffering child, it relapsed into ]
quietude. The attendants sought !
by a variety of means to release tlie
wretched alligator, but were compelled,
as may be supposed, to be very careful in
handling the venomous lizard. He was
seized by the tail and held up in the air,
taken by the bloated neck and choked
severely, plunged under water and mal
treated in other ways, but to no purpose.
Then sharp wires were thrust into his
nose, and finally a large trowel was forced
into his mouth, but such was the force of
his grip that the steel blade, though con
siderably bent in the effort, failed to re
lease the improsoned paw. Then the pair
were replaced in the glass ease which had
been occupied by the lizard, and again the j
alligator renewed its struggles, thrashing
its enemy with its tail and snapping at it
with its jaws. In its struggles
it had dislocated its shoulder, and
its imprisoned limb became limp
and powerless. Its moanings were pitiful,
and the attendants were moved to re
newed and at last successful efforts to effect
a separation. The trowel was reintroduced
into the lizard’s mouth with no very gen
tle thrusts, and probably effected a severe
wound in some tender part. Bubbles of
grayish sliine were exuded from mouth
and nostrils arid finally the jaws slowly
opened. Even then it was a work of sev
eral minutes to disengage the hook fang3
from the wounded paw. The combatants
were placed in their separate receptacles,
the lizard hipping his thick black lips with
his greenish forked tongue, while the alli
gator closed its eyes, probably to die of the
venom in its system.

The Two Large Stores Nos. 78 and 80 (New Nos. 1136 and 1138)
Broad Street have been thrown into one, and
Filled With an Elegant Assortment of Dry Goods.
It has been nearly three years since I quit New York and
for the second time established myself among you—this time
as a dealer in a small way in Clothing, Hats, Men’s Furnish
ing Goods, etc. The venture has been successful somewhat
beyond my expectations, but did not afford me the business
activity to which I had so long been accustomed, and in
view of this 1 determined to enlarge my business, and to this
end have taken the two Stores, Nos. 113(3 and 1138 Broad
Street, and at,considerable expense thrown the two into one
large room, wherein 1 propose to do a Dry Goods business
second lo none. 1 have been unfortunate in getting my
stock open, and in view of the lateness of tlie season I will
sell DRESS GOODS AT COST.
A large line of Striped Velvets and Plushes sold at prices
unheard of.
Princess, Mirabeau and Moss Trimming in all colors.
50 Dozen Black Berlin Gloves, worth 50c, to be closed
at 8 cents. .
A lot of Cotton Dress Goods to be closed at 3i cents.
My Black Silk at-89 cents cannot be matched outside of
New York; well worth $1.25.
Wraps and Jackets in all the desirable fabrics.
To the gentlemen I will say my stock of Men’s Furnish
ing Goods and Hats will be kept up as before, but my stock of
CLOTHING will be closed out AT COST.
