OUR FIRST NUMBER
FOR FALL.
You will see many adver
tisements about large stocks of
Fall and Winter Goods, and
each one will claim to be
ahead of their competitors, but
we will be content to let the
readers of The Gazette know
we have a larger stock than
usual because our trade de
mands it, and this is an evi
dence that our goods are sold
at as low prices as elsewhere,
or a little lower for same
quality.
Our Children's Stock is com
plete. We do not mean by
that to tell you we keep the
low-price shoddy goods, but
we do have a good quality at
a very low price, and yet we
sell more of our suits from five
to ten dollars.
In our Boys' Department wc
have some very stylish gar
ments to show you, while the
young men cannot help being
pleased by making a selection
from our nobby styles
We have over Forty Styles
to show you in our Men's De
partment, and now, kind
reader, just visit us at your
earliest convenience and let us
show you our goods, and see
if it will not be to our mutual
interests to deal with each
other.
This does not give you much
of an idea of our stock, but if
you will stop in at
Fourth & Market Sts.
?
—AT THE
WILMINGTON
CLOTHING HOUSE!
it will give us great pleasure to
show you our goods and
prices. Yours,

Orange streets on the night of September

attempt to disembowel Sergeant Blackburn,
and for whom there was a warrant, skipped
for parts unknown on Tuesday evening
about 6 o'clock. Just who to blame for thi*
piece of caielessnees ia not known, but it
appears, from tho statement of Dr. West,
that the Chief of Police is blameless. Tbe
Doctor told the Chief that Hamilton could he
removed on Tuesday morning, mud then
the Chief suggested Tuesday evening, but
the doctor InsUted that the patient should
not be moved until Wednesday morning.
Hamilton, no doubt,
that a warrant had been Issued for Ms arrest,
and therefore decided to take his chances
and get away from town at the earliest pos
sible moment. The Chief denies that he in
timated that Sergeant Blackburn incited the
riot, but says that
had been severely reprimanded on that even
ing for btaudlog and uot Interfering duriDg
the lieht of tho night before, and »ays that
tbe Mayor had threatened to . dismiss the
officer if such a thing occurred again.

teee made a favorable report. Adopted.
The same committee reported in favor of
awarding the contract for completing the
Delaware avenue sewer to P. Carberry.
Mr. Blake of the committee offered a mi
nority report that tho contract be awarded
to Johnson & Milos, who now have the con
tract for building a portion of the sewer.
In offering the report Mr. Blake said that
It thecoutract was awarded to Mr. Carberry
at the price bid It would cost $140 more than
the bid of Johnson & Miles, and he did not
think it a square deal,
Mr. Garrett moved to adopt the minority
and followed up Lis motion by saying that
he was in furor of awarding the contract to
Johnson & Miles, as they were the lowest
bidders by $144.
Mr. Eastburn, chairman of the commit
tee, would 6ay In reply to Mr. Blake that the
committee had triod to make arrangements
with Johnson & Miles for the completion of
the 6ewer witnout advertising for proposals.
They have now been over a year at it, aud
have not finished their portion yet. If Car
berry is awarded the contract he agrees to
dig out 14 feet and allow Johnson & Miles
to finish their contract.
Mr. Johnson said that the firm were of
fered the work, but they could not sign the
contract uuless they were allowed damages.
He thought $2,900 was a good price for 110
feet of sewer.
Mr. Garrett said tho work hal only been
under way since March last and the contrac
tors had been stopped by the committee
several times. Tho committee had gotten
themselves into a hole and they should get
out of It the best way they could. The firm
would be very foolish if they did no: claim
damages.
Mr. Pickels said he know two weeks ago
the committee had offered Johnson & .Miles
the contract for completing the work at the
same price per lineal foot that they
getting. They agreed to the proposition, but
next day refused unless they were allowed
to claim damages.
Mr. Blake said that JoJinson & Miles had
lost on their contract by being delayed
through the committee. Their mortar has
dried up and lumber been stolen through the
delays.
Mr. Baugh said that Couucil waa all at

amend the report by postponing it one week
and that when Council adjourn it adjourn
to meet at the Hall on Saturday afternoon
5 o'clock, and proceed thence to the
ground to examiuc the malD.
Mr. Pickels was opposed to adjourning as
it would cost over $4«. He moved to refer
the matter back to the committee with in
structions to advertise for new proposals to
do the work all in a lump.
The motion to postpone one w«ek was
lost, and tho motion to adjourn to meet on
Saturday afternoon was adopted by the fol

Resolved , That tho Chief Engineer of tho
Wu ter Department bo author lied to advertise
for proposals tor building two boilers for ttie
ülty Pu inpin< Station, bids to bo received from
Wilmington builders only.
Mr. Taylor desired ti know what tbe ob
ject was !n not receiving bids from outside
parties,
Mr. atevenson in reply said that the com
mittcc thought that ns the people of tho city
would have to pay for the boilers they
should be built here and give our workmen
a chance. Another object was that should
anything happen to (be boilers the me
chanics who made tln|un would be right
here to repair them.
Air. Pickels also was In lavor of doing all
work here. He believed in home protection.
Air. Blake (interrupting)—"Why did you
not think of that when you bought the
bul I ?"
Mr. Pickels— "I do n|jt. want any bulls ex
cept Irish bulle, und there is plenty of
them."
Mr. Blake—"I meat) the English bull,
and there 1s plenty of tjicm."
Mr. Pickels, continuing his argument,
said he heartily favored the resolution and
would vote for it.
Mr. Taylor—It may Ihj all good enough to
have them built here, but give others out
side a chauce. If people of other cities
would do the same thing, we would not be
sending s hips and cars all over tho world.
Why It has only !>cen a short time ago that
Hilles & Jones put boilers in the Philadel
phia water works. Ono car firm sent
to the Brooklyn bridge, and machinery
made has been sent tu all parts. If those
people should say no work should go out
side, what would become of Wilmington ?
It may be good in sentiment but notin
principle.
Mr. Johnson also favored the resolution.
Me. Taylor moved to strika out that por
tion of the resolution referring to Wilming
ton bidders only.
Mr. Pickles moved to lay tho motion on
the table. Adopted.
The resolution was then adopted by the
followirg vote : Ayes—Messrs. Eastburn,
Garritt, Grubb, Johnson, Lynn, Menton,
Miller, Muore, Newell, Pickles, Smith,
Stevenson, Speakman and President Con
rad—14. Nays.— Mesure. Abele, Blake,

to advise Kirg Alfonso to convoke to Cortes
as soon as possible.
The Correspondencies states that the Gov

day for Wednesday next, states that the
committee bave during the past three years
very carefully reconsidered the lcctionary
reported by them, and approved by the con
vention in 1889. In doing so they have
been aided by the experience of its actual
use and by a large number of suggestions to
which they have given respectful attention,
not only for their intrinsic value, but as in
dicating the general sentiment td the
church. The tables appended to the report
arc substantially tbe same as those which
were presented to the last convention, but
with several alterations. The most impôt t
ant of those ia In the Old Taatimant loaaooe
for Easter Day, where the account of the in
stitution of the Passover has been assigned
to the morning and the Song of Moses to the
evening, with liberty to substitute one for
the other. The lectionary thus revised Is
recommended to the convention for final
adoption by tlie annexed act, which is as
follows:
"The lectionary contained in the Book of ^
Common Prayer is hereby amended by sub
stituting the tables appended for the table of
lessons of Holy Scripture and by inserting
after the lhird paragraph of'the order how
to be read,' the three rules following: 'if in
any church; on Sunday or holy day, both
morning and evening prayer be not said, the
minister may read the lessons appointed
either for morning or for evening prayer. At
evening prayer on Sunday the minister may
read the lesson from the gospel appointed
for that day of the month in placer of the
second lesson for the Sunday. Upon any day
for which no proper lessons are provided,
the lessons appointed iu the calendar for
any day iu the 6aino week may be
read in place .of the lessons [for the
day."
