: the judiciary committee, but abort-
u , ly-afterward tbe Louisiana delega
tion calico on the committee to
ask ahd rccelvc explanations.
Judge Moulton "bad at first re
fused l to make , any disclosures,
.saying simply that be bad beard
.tbe Exposition was a failure, tbat
'" tbe money bad been expended
^ ‘Wtthout any Satisfactory results,
and tbat.not a -tenth of tbe sp&co

had' therefore acted for tbe pro-
' tcction Of the governmerit. Upon

I 1 u W QWjBANB, Doe. 8.—Director
, General Durkp was questioned yes
terday corncemlng tbe resolution
in' Congress by Mr. Moulton. He
is perhaps tbe busiest man in tbe
. worldiBVtbfs time; sleeps and cats
at fits office at,tbo Main Building,
Works eighteen hours a day, has
soetlhfe family buttwioo in twenty
1 days. - When tbo resolution was
teed to him he repliod : ‘•Tbo world
never witnessed an Exposition of
the magnitude of ibis. Moro ma-
' cblifery, moro art, moro agriculture,
more diversified industries, more
oxkiblts of tho natural resources of
America than tho world lias seen
b.eloro at one time! Two thousand
oarloads of materials bavo been
oarried to tbe Exposition, and the
bnildings are not yet half full. Two
. thousand carloads of freight aro on
wheels, and in vessels, and wo will
open with moro in position than
has evor been seen in an Exhibition
herotoforo.
i. •> “As to foreign exhibits, go to the
. books. Applications for space have
been allotted for British, French,
Belgian, Russian, Austrian, Italian,
Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and
■ Bismeso, Central American and
Mexioan exhibits, oovering 160,000
square feet of space.
“Our floor space is about 2,500,-
000 square feet, and wo have not
i been able to allot space for a week,
i’ became tho ground floor and gal
leries are full to overflowing.
“We shall add a building 400 feet
long to tho Main Building, and
hUVe It finished by the 16th, al
though not a post is np.
V “As to expenditure! and manage
ment, wo, defy criticism. Not a
penny baa been expended without
'th'i appropriation by tbe board,
'close scrutiny by the committee
and over my ccrtifloato, and every
. voucher, until the last installment
of the loan, hoe beoii examined and
found correct by jjie Secretary of
tbe Treasury. . Onf work has passed
beyond criticism, nhd will go to
tbe country before Christmas. We
■ha 1 have every building flnisked
and 6,000 librsc-povrer moving.”
Now Orleans Exposition Com-
mfsalqacr Bacon has ebipped a car
load of'specimens of iron, gold,
sliver, marbles, .etc., to New Or
leans; also an exhibit of the An-
® ta cotton mills, tbe Algernon

OLD ESTABLISHED MERCANTILE HOUSES. WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON INDESTRUCTABLE ROCKS OF
UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Tottered and Pell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
al* bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil
drens and-Men’s Clothiug, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 80 to 60 per cent,
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock
These Purchases will be Put on Sale
and itQwill be to the interest of every one in this city or country
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in the history of the dry goods,
clothing, boot and shoe trade.
