Thousands will attest that "THE GLOBE'S" PRICES are always the lowest qualities considered. But now, Zip! Bang Boom they're all cut to pieces.

Why MUCH RAIN, PRICES IN TWAIN. Take Overcoats, for instance. You can buy a fine Kersey Melton or Chinchilla Overcoat for $io, formerly sold for $18 to $20. While $5.00 will purchase a desirable and substantial Overcoat worth every cent of $10. Boys' and Children's Overcoats also come in for their slash S3.00 equal to $6.00 now.

Underwear that sold for $1.25 now goes for 87 cents. And think of getting a Child's Cap made of Astrachan and Plush, satin lined, with ear-laps attached, for 25 cents!

The Rev. J. W. Johnson of the E. church south of this city, died at the parsonage yesterday morning from injuries received on Friday evening last, when, in company with the Rev.

W. F. Marshall of the Episcopal church of this city, he was passing through the initiation ceremonies of the Royal Arch degree in the Huntington Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. Duriug the ceremonies it seems it was necessary that he should descend a vault IS feet deep by means of a rope-taakle suspended from the ceiling above. The 'other men had descended the vault previonfly, one of them being the Rev.

Mr. Marshall. After preparing the tackle the Rev. Mr. Johnson started to descend, when the knot fastening the tackle to the lower block gave way, and Mr.

Johnson fell to the bottom of the vault. Medical aid was summoned, and his injuries seemed to be of a painful though not dangerous nature. He was removed to bis home and received the careful attention of his friends, but he gradually sank and died. His remains will be taken to his former home at Hannibal, for interment.

Dallas Texas, Jan. 14. At Oak Cliff, a suburtf across the river from this city, thre building's in course of construction and several out hiouees were blown down by the gale Bun-day evening and the tops of some chimnlee were wrecked. At Louisville 00 njilc? from Dallas many out houses and fences were destroyed and the residence of A. Jasper was wrocked and his wife fatally injured.

Htftf a dozes other residences were-partially unroofed and otherwise injured. The Methodist church was moved from its foundation and the cupalo and roof were torn off. The chandeliers were fouud several hundred yards distant. Dispatches from many points report damage by the storm. Fairbanks, Jan.

H. Sunday night's storm assumed the nature of a tornado here. Nearly every house in the village was unroofed and many barns were blown down, as were all orchard and shade trees In the path of the storm. No person was injured. Joijet, Jan.

14. The cyclone which passed through this section caused great losa to farmers. The little town of Pla infield suffered the most, a number of houses being unroofed. On the farm of Wheeler Green every thing was blown away but his house. In this city several frame buildings were moved from their foundations and parts of the sheet iron roofs at the new Fox steel plate works were torn off.

Ci.evei.ani), Jan. 14 A morning paper publishes a statement snhmltted by an expert book-keeper showing irregularities in the old accounts of the city of Cleveland aggregating about 3,000,000.

Nearly all of this money was paid out by the city without the approval of the council, although the laws of the state distinctly require that every claim, be included in the regular claims ordinance. The publication has created a groat sensation. Nearly a year ago the city council authorized the board of revision to examine the books relating to the city's financial history. It was necessary in the prosecution of the work to look over the books in the city treasurer's office and the disclosures made were startling. These were hinted at in the report of the experts of the Board of Revision.

When the latter made their report to the Board of Councilmen, however, slight, if any, reference was made tso them. -The experts signed tha eport to the board of councilmen under protest and only after it had represented to them that these irregularities had been investigated before. The most startling feature of the re-nort is a table showing that or $3,000,000 were paid out without an entry in any book to show to whom the money was paid or for what purpose. A public meeting will probably be called to take action if the council ignores the disclosures. THE STOCK MARKET Abatement of the Coal Stock Downward Movement.

Great Battla for tha Featherweight Championship A Mat oh for SI 5,000 is Hade Between Sulllvaa and Jackson.

Sah Francisco, Jan. 14. The Weir-Murphy fight for the featherweight championship of the world, took place here last night in the gymnatium otiie California Athletic Club. Weir's weight, was announced as 134V pounds and Murphy's as 11. The menstartadin at a lively pace.

Murphy's body blows being met by Weirds rapid upper cutting. The first round ended with Weir slipping to the floor from Murphy's rally. In the second round Murphy reached Weir's nose and was caught by the neck and punished ty Tipper cuts causing his nose to bleed. The applause and laughter at the end of each round was uproarious. Weir's antics caused great amusement from the start, but his clever fighting and the rapidity of his upper cutting surprised both his opponent and the spectators.

Murphy was bleeding freely at the nose in the second round and beyond a few good body blows, his rushes and etrong right hand swings had counted for naught. In the eighth round he fought savagely bat was nearly knocked out by a right hander on the chin. From the eighth to the twelfth rounds little effective fighting was done In the twelfth the Spider swung his right with telling effect on Murphy's left ear and jaw again planting right and left in the Australian's eye as he came on fiercely. Murphy's left eye was bleeding freely in the 13th. He fought desperately vand drove Weir through the ropes and around the ring.

The 13th rotnjd was one of the greatest surprises ever seen in the club rooms. Murphy came up almost hopeless, but fought fiercely. He landed a right bander on Weir's head that staggered him, and in a minute was upon him, swinging and uppercutting with his right hand, sending the Spider down eight times in rapid succession. Twice the latter was nearly counted out, but roee within the last second and with a courage borne of desperation planted his right freely oa. Murphy's ear only to go down.

In the 14th round both men thony apparently to groggy too stand, came promptly up for the last round. It was a short one. Murphy again led and Weir countered and in a second received another blow that sent him down and decided bis fate. He writhed in agony for ten seconds and when he rose at the call of tune he was holding his wrist painfully with his left claiming to have broken it. Murphy though showing more signs of punishment than Weir and though at one time almost knocked out freshened wonderfully In the last, and jumped lightly from the ring at the end of the fight Weir was seen in his dressing room after the fight and though in considerable pain showed little outward signs of punishment beyond a swollen wrii-t and lips.

The hand which was believed to be broken sustained nothing more eerious than a sprain. He expressed himself as utterly at a loss as to how he lost the fight beyond the statement fin which President Fulda concurs) that he received a blow In the wind in the 10th round which sickened him. President Fulda announced that John L. Sullivan had agreed with an accredited representative of the club on a purse for which he would meet Peter Jackson in the last fight of his life. The amount was aud Jackson bad accepted the terms.

By unanimous vote the club announced its approval of the proposition to empower the directors to make the match. Third Edition. HALT-PAST FOUR, P. M. Associated Press Special Wire.

ST.jLouM, Jan. 14. Passengers of the Ferguson, accommodation' train had a narrow escape during the cyclone Sunday evening, and congratulate themselves that a dozen or more did ot have their heads cut off. tbey were saved from death or injury is a miracle. Col.

Thomas Thoroughman tells the story of the passengers, frightful experience. He says the train had left the station at Vine street and bad proceeded as far northward along the river front as Knapp, Stoat Co. 'a lumber yards when the water poured down in such quantities that no oot could sea outside the coaches. Slowly the train proceeded and when everything looked dark and dismal from the fury of the storm there was a am i.l:lng of glass that rose above the din, and came shooting into the coach windows one side and went ont at the other, as if they had been fired from a cannon. The few passengers in the coaches crouched down close to the floor and the lumber went flying over their heads.

The storm of planks and wood was so heavy it crashed every pane of glass in the rear coach and the wind jammed it in piles on the track between the trucks stopping the train. There the cars stood until the storm had somewhat abated when the train crew got out aad cleared the roadway, after an hour's work in the drenching rain. ESULAN0 AND PORTUGAL. The Little Country will Probably Give Way to the Burly British. By Anglo-American Cable.

Lisbon, Jan. 14. Senhor Gomes, at the session of the Chamber of Peers yesterday, made a full statement of the recent negotiations with England. He expressed regret that he had been unable to consult the cortes In consequence of the rapid and sudden development of events. He declared he had always sought to maintain an agreeable understanding with England and hoped the divergent views of the two countries might yet be reconciled.

He had done all that lay in his power to maintain the dignity of Portugal without compromising its interests. Senhor Gomes has personally expressed to the British Minister his regret at the insults offered to him. The government officially assured the minister that the escutcheon would be replaced, all damage repaired, and all persons concerned in the outrage punished. The Dia says Senhor Plmental belongs to a party whose tradition is that it always agrees ith England in all colonial enterprises. He may succeed for this reason in a case where Gomes failed because he was regarded as a systemrtic enemy of Great Britain and auxiliary of Germany.

Many shops were closed yesterday in consequence of the agitation in the streets. The patriotic demonstrations were in favor of Plmental. The rioting students yesterday endeavored to force an entrance into the chamber of deputies. But only a' deputation was admitted for the purpose of presenting to the president a patriotic resolution. When this was presented the students were excluded and the gates barricaded.

Madrid, Jan. 14. Nearly all the Madrid pa-perB sympathize with Portugal and declare the conduct of England unjustifiable. Paris, Jan. 14.

Several papers hero discuss England's demands upon Portugal, and condemn the menacing attitude taken in support of them. GLADSTONE OS ISDIA. The Territory Cannot Be Held by the Sword Alone. By Anglo-American Cable. toDOS, Jan.

14. Herbert Gladstone delivered a lecture on India at Ha warden yesterday and Mr. Gladstone in seconding a vote of thanks to the lecturer dwelt upon the heavy responsibility Englishmen incurred for the happiness of between two hundred and three hundred millions of people of India. He rejoiced to think it is now impossible to hold India by the sword alono. We are unable, he said, to dispense with the military power, but we depend upon it only as it aids the constant extension of enlightened principles of government.

Could they hope to make the Indian government permanent and the people happy under it? He believed the mass of the people acquiesced in the British dominion and it is unquestionable that no portion of them would desire to dislodge the British in order to bring in some other power. Enormous as was the field for enterprise and wealth it opened a field yet more remarkable for examples of courage, virtue, and the development and application of Christian precepts. FIRE ib BALTIMORE. Burning of an Klevator. Steamer, and Other Property.

Baltimork, Jan. 13. The Northern Central railroad elevator No. 3 at Lower Canton, this city, was burned tonight. The elevator was worth 1300,000, and the loss on the corn stored there is 380,000.

The corn was owned by in-dividuafshippers. The property was well insured. Notwithstanding great shipments there is 1,400,000 bushels of grain in Baltimore elevators and the loss of this elevator is an irreparable calamity, to the exporters, as there are no facilities now to lessen the glut in the grain trade. The elevator was turned over to the Baltimore Elevator Company recently, and the loss falls on, that company. The British steamship Sacrobasco, lying near the wharf, was consumed by flames from the burning elava- tor.

The British steaa ers North Erin and Rhio had their masts and rigging and some of the npper work destroyed Three of the crew of the Sacrobasco are missing and it is believed they were burned to detah. They are: Robert Carus, chief engineer John White, fireman: Charles Johnson, seaman. Among the crew seriously burned are Charles Apple-ton, steward; Thomas Knight (colored) cook; Ed Wbitside and A. J. Robinson, seaman.

The sailors aboard the Sacra banco had to jump into the water and swim for their lives. Some were picked np after being in the water two hoars. The Ore at midnight is tinder control. THE STORM IX THE WEST. Strong Whyda, Snow and Rough Weathei Reported from Many Points, St.

13. The first of the dismissals of cfJJdals by which Governor Hill intends to transform the Canal Department frqp a Cleveland tp a Hill bureau of the state government toe place today. The new Superintendent of public Works accepted the compulsory resignation of Charles Zielley. the Assistant Superintendent of Public Works who has charge of the Eastern Division of the Erie canal and the Champlain canal, and substituted i his place Charles E. Simmons of Cohoes.

Mr.jZieller is a Cleveland man and is IpEMOVID SOLELY FOR THAT BEASOS. because he has been a faithful public officer. His lace is taken by Simmons, who has been a faithful lieutenant in Cohoes of Edward Murphy, of fToy, the chairman of the Democratic State Committee. Cohoes lies in the bailiwick of D. Cady Herrick, the Democratic boss of Albany county, whom Mr.

Murphy has been attempting for several years past to deprive of his boss-ship. Murphy has been in the habit of sending bis heelers across thj Hudson river from Troy into Cohoes and tLyfe casting their votes against Herrick's Candida tee for Democratic party positions, but hitherto Herrick has been victorious. Reinforced by Simmons, who will have CHARGE OF- HAS CANAL LABORERS, Mnrjhy will now make another attempt to dethrone Herrick in Cohoes and elsewhere in AHaihy county. Bit it is not alone in Albany county that Governor Hill will ask tke patronage of the Carol Department againal Grf5ver Cleveland anil his friends. There is not a canal county between Albany and Buffalo In which the politicians the present 3'ear will not see the' Canal Department officers and laborers at work in Hill's interests and opposing Cleveland's.

One may calculate upon a great many changes in the personnel of the delegates to the next Democratic State Convention from the canal counties. If there is a Cleveland delegate from any one of them after David B. Hill, Edward Murphy, and Edward Hannen finish manipulating the canal' patronage people will be surprised. The next change to be made in the Canal Department will be that of Hill democrats taking the place of John Stebbins, of Caze-novia, the Assistant Superintendent of Public Works for the MIDDLE DIVISION OK THE CANALS bis field; of operations covering the Oswego canal and the middle portion of the Erie canal. Mr.

Stebbins has been openly hostile Mr. Hill and there is some surprise felt among poll-that he has not been "bounced" before this time. But his day of execution is near at hand. One thing that will make the removal of Stebbins notorious is that bo i3 the brother-in-law of Charles G. Fairchild, Cleveland's Secretary of the Treasury.

No more direct blow therefore could be aimed by Hill at Cleveland. Republicans look upon this warfare between Cleveland and Hill naturally with much satisfaction. If there does not come some profit to them out of the fight they will be surprised. It is rumored that Governor Hill is so determined to get rid of A. Maxwell, the Clovelaud SCfiKRINTKNDEXT OF THE tSSlRAXCE DE-' FARTHEST, that he has about made up his mind to nominate a republican for the place.

The republicans hove no objection to running the insurance department Mr. Hill can be assured that they wHlriromptly confirm a republican, if of good character and ability, as superintendent. But they will not confirm any Hill democrat as superintendent of the insurance department. Maxwell is a democrat, it is true, but he has kept the insurance politics." No assessments have Deen levied by him upon the insurance companies and thus the proceeds turned into the treasury of the democratic state committee. It has befn the republican policy, therefore, to keep 4 MAXWELL IX OFFICE.

esfng that he was neutral in politics, in preference to handing over the office to a Hill democrat, who would surely run the Insurance Department for all it is worth in politics, levying assessments and coercing the insurance companies to aid Mr. Hill. The republican who has been named as likely to receive the nomination for Insurance Superintendent is John C. Hogeboom, former assemblyman from Columbia; and at present agent In this city of the New York Life Insurance company. Governor Hill also, it is said, intends, if possible, to displace the three Cleveland men whofeince 18H3 have held the positions of STATE AHSESSOItS.

A month ago he asked them to resign their offices; but up to the present day tbey have refused to do so. Indeed one of them, Stata Assessor Williams, of Poughkeepsie, has rather contemptuously alluded to Mr. Hill in talking about the desired resignation. Meanwhile State-Treasurer Danforth, who may be considered Mr. Hill's appointee, has been summoned into court for removing Philo W.

Backus, who not only was a Cleveland democrat but also a Union soldier, from his post of bookkeeper in the Stats Treasurer's department. Mr. Backus insists that as a Union veteran he has the legal right to preference when appointments are made. Mr. Dan forth came into office January 1st and found Mr.

Backus holding the place of book-keeper. He displaced him for a man wbo'is not a soldier. Mr. Backus may summon Governor Hill Into court to prove his complicity in his (Backus's) removal. M.

The Roval Baking Powder possesses a peculiar quality, not possessed by any other leavening agent.

It provides bread, biscuit, cake, muffins, dumplings or rolls, which may be eaten when hot, without inconvenience, by persons of the most delicate digestive organs. With most persons it is necessary that bread raised with yeast should lose its freshness or become stale before it can be eaten with safety. Distressing results likewise follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry, raised by the cheap, inferior baking powders that contain Erne, alum, phosphates or other adulterants. The hot roll and muffin and the deli- 5 cious hot griddle cakes raised by the Royal Baking Pow- i' der are as whole- I some and digestible as warm soup, meat or any other food.

Buffalo, January 14. One reason why the men find this such a handy for their furnishings is that we have most everything worth their having at prices they can afford to pay. We go where the best things are made, pick out the best, bring them home, and sell them at half the stay-at-home price. And then we have no objection to selling a well-made scarf for 20c. Our furnishings are for the men of every grade and taste.

Perhaps you can see what we say in shirts as well as anything begin at 50 cents, a grade better 75 cents, better still $1.00.
