TILDEN'S STILL HUNT VERY CRAFTY POLITICAL METHODS TmiLAWtmiA. Odokc 20. THE XASH START03T MT8TEKT. Daatk ml Ik. W944 Mas ta tfc Cmu Hospital.

Frederick P. Hash, of Mystic Bridge, Coo.il, who was shot by Daniel E. Sun too, of the cam. towa, oa but Thursday nlgbt, died at In. tier man Hospital yesterday afternoon.

Tbe cans, of lb. (booting remains mystery. Tbe two yoanf men were friends and cam. lo this city together on last Thursday morning. Tney topped at Guy Hotel, where Stanton registered under tbe assumed nam.

of Longman. During the day they visited the Continental Hotel in search of a New York friend. Wben they learned that be had not arrived tbey drove to Fairmoont Park and returned to the hotel in tbe evening and received a dispatch from the New York friend saying that he wonld not come to this city on that day. Tbey then went lo tbe Broad Street Station and bought tickets lor New York and took tbe next train for that elty. Tbey left the train, however, at the Sixteenth street station for the purpose, so Nash aerted, ol getting a drink.

Tbey walked across the lots In search of a saloon and when Dear tbe station at Gerinantown Junction Nash declared that be told his friend that be was cold and inteuded returning to the station. While walking away Irom Stanton the latter drewa revolver and fired three shots at hlin. The Ural bullet took effect lu his shoulder, tbe second missed him and the last and fatal shot lodged In the abdomen. Stanton then ran down the Heading Railroad track and has not yet been arrested. The young men had been Intimate friends and had protected a trip to Mexico this winter.

Stanton's brother in law and his sister are now in this city and will aid the police in their search lor the lugl tive. It is thought, however, that Stanton will surrender wben he learns of Nash's death. IS THIS WORTH READING? The answer is found iu the following: WE SELL Good Dressy Overcoats, in many shades, at At $8.50, $, $10 in such quality and material as to be found now here else for the money. Something nobby and stylish at $12, $13, 14 and 15, and at $16, $18, 20 and $22 something entirely new in material as well a3 in trimming. Satin Lined and Silk Faced, worth from $20 to $30.

SFECIAL. At 13.50 we have five different shades in Plain Pilot Beaver Overcoats, which we consider fully worth 16. A beautiful coat. Baby Furniture. Now don't go to Jumping at conclusions, Dlease.

We've no reference to Doll Houses or to playthings of any kind. We're not addressing Babies, we're talking to their mothers. What we mean by Baby Furniture is Cribs, Cradles, High Chairs, Nurse Rockers, Children's Chairs and articles of Furniture for the Children's Room, such as Small Bedsteads, Single Mattresses, Low Washstands, We bring these things thus directly to your notice because we think that Children are too much overlooked in advertising Household Goods, and Intend, for once, to do them justice. Another reason is that we've the biggest stock of such things In town and want to sell 'em. While doing the little ones justice, however, we can hardly devote one whole advertisement to their goods, when such an immense stock of other Furniture demands to be mentioned.

We say immense stock," but only those who have seen it know how much that means. Perhaps you'll understand us better If we say the largest stock of Furniture In Philadelphia, for such it undoubtedly is. We can't, of course, tell you all this stock embraces, 'twould take too much time, but we can hint to the reader of cozy looking Chamber Suites that cost but little, but that nevertheless are well made and in original and pretty designs. Of Parlor Suites that would add wonderfully to the beauty of your parlor, but that are very small in price. Of Dining Room Furniture that will make your meals taste better and that little money will buy.

And so we might go on and speak of hundreds of things in our grand collection of goods, all of them right within your reach yes, we mean it, within immediate reach of your Income, we care not how small it may be, for it would have to be a very, very small salary out of which you couldn't pay the Small Weekly or Monthly Payments we require on a bill of moderate size. And one such bill, perhaps, or at most a few of them, will secure you all the household goods you need. But we're getting away from our text, which was, we believe, Baby Furniture. So, if Baby needs a Crib, Cradle or High Chair, remember that you can buy It here on Credit as cheaply as you can elsewhere for Cash. Terms a) Usual: $1 per Weak on a Bill of $10.

REFORMING WICKED GIRLS THE WORK OF THE HOUSE OF REFUGE What Cms mm laaMa ska High Mats Wall SarTMndiac tk. BalMiaa mm Tmrnimr Street. Opptwtte Girard CmOegm. A Deprave Little Beaaty. About twenty girls, whose ages range from nine to fifteen yean, were seen tbe other day making storking.

Tbe older giria were working at knitting machines, which buzzed and hummed and fashioned those Indispensable article of apparel with great rapidity. Tbe younger girls, with nimble Angers, were shaping tbe heels and toes a part of tbe work that a machine cannot do. 1 bis room and these girls might have been mistaken for an apartment and toe operative In an ordinary factory bat for two thing: Tbe room was too eier.n and the girl were all dressed alike. This was a room In tbe House of Refuge and tbe girls were some of the wayward children of the city, wbo bad been sent there In the hope of bringing them back to habits of Industry and virtue. There were many other similar rooms filled with girls at work, bat each room was used for a different kind of employment.

In one room tbey were making girls' undergarments for use In the Institution. In another tbey were making shirts for tbe boys In the male department. Carpet rags were being sewed Into endless strings and were being rolled into big balls in one room, while in another the washing of tbe Institution was being done by girls of robust frames, wbo were almost women. NOT BAD LOOKING GIBL.3. Altogether there are one hundred and fourteen girls in the large buildings surrounded by a high, massive stone wall at Twenty third and Poplar streets.

The yonngest of these girls Is nine years old and the oldest eighteen. The majority are about fourteen. Among them are some faces on which sin has already left Its indelible stain, and vicious and intemperate parentage Is indicated in the feeble frames and muddy complexion of others, but taken as a whole they are not a bad looking set of girls. The folly of attempting to read character by tbe face can be Illustrated here. The prettiest little girl in the Institution Is the wickedest and, for a long time after her admission, she was kept in a sort of quarantine, as It was soon lound that she was spreading moral contagion ail around her.

On the other hand, another little girl, whose repulsive face would at once convince a person wise in his own conceit that he had found the Impersonation of alt depravity, is one of the cleanest minded and best disposed girls in the place. WORK, STUDY AND FLAT. It Is not all work and no play in the institution. Certain hours of the day are devoted to labor, for it is one of the prime oblects to fit the girls to earn their own living. They are taught house work, cooking and various trades.

There are la the white girls' department three large, airy school rooms, as handsomely furnished with scats, desks, blackboards, maps, globes, as any grammar school in the city. Thoroughly trained and sympathetic teachers spend a certain portion of each day here Instructing the girls In tbe common school branches and vocal music, rlomeof the girls are good singers and occasionally musical and literary entertainments are given In the evening, to which tho public are admitted by card. The moral and religious instruction of the girls In very carefully looked after and plenty of healthful recreation is provided. The play ground are large and pleasant. The high wall around the grounds is the only thing about the place to suggest a prison.

NO LOCKED DOOKS. Within there are no locked or barred doors or gates. Each of tho large girls has a separate sleeping room, neatly and comfortably furnished. Most of the rooms have been decorated with pictures and small ornaments by the inmates. These rooms were once cells, la which the girls were locked at night, but the old systom of treating the Inmates as prisoners has been done away with and as little physical restraint as possible consistent with discipline is Imposed.

The little girls sleep in one large dormitory, watched over by an assistant matron. The discipline, though strict, is gentle and kind. It would not be very difficult for a robust girl lo escape, but only one has run away during the twelve years that Mrs. Campbell has boeu the matron. A great many of the graduates are wives and mothers respectable and useful members of society.

Some are Irreclaimable, but the records show that about seventy five per cont. are saved. Resides the white girls' department there is a department for colored girls, having about halt as many inmates. LTJJiG LEE'S PLACARD. The Chinese Luumlrymen's Defense Against Mischievous Roys.

A reward of 10 will be paid lor any person convicted of annoying or throwing anything at the occupant of this plaoe" Is the wording on a placard displayed in the window of Lung Lee's Chinese laundry, on Market street, near Twenty first. The placard is a work of art. Lung has recently moved into the neighborhood and the first two weeks after his arrival his life was made miserable. The boys of tho vicinity have been transferring all the decayed vegetables which are rejected at tho market house near by to the laundry. It has been a favorite pastime of theirs to wait until Lee filled his mouth with water, preparatory to sprinkling a shirt, and then to strike oue of his frntfed out cheeks with an oyster plant.

The auudryman troubles were brought to a close last Friday when a peddler called and sold Lee tho placard which he has displayed In his window. Tho peddler does a largo trade in these placards among the Chinese laundrymen, us they never fall to frighten the boys away. For Dry Goods, Stkawbiudge Clothieb.

YATES Co. 626 CHESTNUT ST. Largest Boys' Clothing House in America. i Monday: fair and slight change in temperature. A look into our dressmaking room shows that the ladies of Philadelphia quite generally know what our dressmaking facilities amount to, and how to use them.

Out of about two hundred and fifty busy sewing machines more than two thirds are working on dresses to measure nearly one third on readymade. For those who have not learned how dresses are made, let us briefly indicate how and why the work is divided into two parts readymade and made to measure. We both make and buy dresses lor the readymade stock, all sorts of dresses except the costly. We make or buy according to the pressure? on our facilities. We can always buy we cannot always make.

Readymade implies a good many dresses alike. Making many alike we save most of the cost of the making. Readymade dresses cost, therefore, surpris ingly littjle. die season We always have in dresses of flannel for $6 or $7, or $7, ot casnmere, clotn, camel's hair and other staple stuffs for $io, silk for $20, and so on up to about $50, and a very few up in the hundreds; but the latter belong io the made to measure class. When a lady prefers to have her dress not quite peculiar or unique, but a little out of the common, we make to measure.

The cost of a made to measure dress is rarely! under $30. We make thousands under $50. Our making to measure is by no means all extravagant work. Readymade clothing is a business by itself; but the line between readymade and made to measureisn't always drawn where ladies suppose. Readymade are by no means always roughly made.

On sudden occasion a lady can generally find a ready made dress that will answer her purpose, even if quite exacting. Mourning dresses especially are mostly readymade. Dressmaking to measure is not a business by itself. It leans on the stuffs at the dress goods counters just as a tailor has to have cloths but dress stuffs go as much beyond cloths as cloths beyond fig leaves. We should cut a sorry figure in fashionable dressmaking if we failed in our stuffs and yet our own city was slow to learn that we brought not only the 6nest stuffs in the world but variety and quantity beyond any supposed demand, from over the sea.

Bringing dresses from Paris is a trifling incident of dressmaking, trifling as to the merchandise involved not trifling in its effect on the home making. We have succeeded as never before this fall. 1301 and 3 Chestnut, second floor. John Wanamaker. Chestnut.

Special Comcpondmccol TheTihis. Sew York, October IS. Samuel J. Tilden taugbt the Democrats of New York state how to conduct a political campaign.

It was be wbo InTenled tbe silll bant and no oue new better bow to make it effective, lie nerer believed in the skyrocket and Koman ra.idle yslcio and be rarely need It, except wben t.c wtebed lo divert altention from more serious work. Inhere was a still bnnt Koingou in Albany Tilden might permit soma noise to be made In Troy, six miles away, but as a rule be considered brass bands and orators a waste of money and lime. Ills 0m move was to ascertain the extent of tbe opposition. He never bothered with the sure voter ol either party, but paid his chief attention to the doubtful or undecided citizen. Six weeks before election day Mr.

Tilden bad secured a trusty agent In every election district in tbe State, wbo answered to an agent in the town, who in turn was responsible to an agent who bad charge ol the county. Tbe election district agent bad a list of every voter in tbe district and six weeks before election that list was sent to Mr. Tilden, tbe names belngclasslfied as iron clad Democrats and iron clad Republicans, doubtiul Democrats and doubtful Republicans. WORKING OX THE DOVBTFCI. VOTERS.

It was a tremendous undertaking, but it was carried out. No sooner had the lists begun to come in than the doubtiul voters began to receive documents. They were selected with all the art that Mr. Tilden could command. Newspaper organs that contained some telling argument wero delivered from the post office, and tracts and speeches and pamphlets came with them.

Three weeks later the agent made another canvass of the district, with especial reference to the doubtful voter. Some had been converted, some had gone over to the enemy and others wavered. Their names were again classified and the ones wbo had deserted or who yet held out were bombarded with more documents. More than that, the man was visited by some leading light in Mr. Tilden's parly and quietly invited to vote in the proper manner.

Some Democrat of reputation In the State might bap pen in town and if so Hie voter was pretty sure lobe cast In his way and to have the honor of shaking his hand aud of getting a pleasant word from him. Mr. Tilden was very confident of the efficacy of this sort of personal attention and he encouraged its practice. Kvery sort ol civility thai the local manager could Invent was thrust on the unsuspecting doubtful voter. By the time election day was only ten days off this sort of work had begun to tell.

Then the final canvass was made and the third list of voters sent to the astute politician. A glance would show how affairs stood In every district. There had been gains here and losses there. By this time, loo, the agent was able to write opposite each doubtful voter's name his reasons for opposing the Democratic candidate, ii nil this was a great advantage. In 187H, when Mr.

Tilden made the most perfect canvass ever made in New York State, the roll read something like this: DOUBTFUL DEMOCRATS. John Smith Thrown out of work by the Canal reforms. John Jones For sale price about $3. John Hoblnson Angry because beaten In primary elections. John Doe Didn't get nominated lor Constable.

Ilieuard ltoe Republicans have promised him work. Peter Blake His brother Is Republican candidate for Sheriff. A SYSTEM THAT WON. Then the real work began. A Job woj found for John Smith arrangements wero made to meet the difficulty In John Jones' case; promises were made to Hoblnson Doe was to be given a loremanship in the canal repairs and soon.

A mighty effort was made to smooth over all trouble and the labor was kept up with lndlvld uuls, instead of with the masses. In no Instance did the vlcllm know that nn agent of Tilden's was doing the lavor oradvancing the argument. A week before the election it was known Just how the vote through the State would go and the night before the election of 1876 Mr. Tilden marked on a bit of paper what his majority, In his opinion, would bo, and he was a few hundred only lower than the actual majority. His work with doubtful voters was kept up until the voter had boon to tho ballot box and if as the day waned he had not appeared a carrlnge was sent for him.

Mr. Tilden Knew Just how many votes needed to be changed from tho last election or from the last canvass to give him the victory and he went to work to change them at any hazard. Ills system was complete und under the perfect organization that he bad effected he could not be misled as to the real situation. The advantage was that he did not waste time and money on men whom no amount of bombarding could Influence and ho always knew just how his canvass was progressing. TILDEN'S AOENTS AT WORK FOR CLEVELAND.

The men who aided Mr. Tilden in perfecting his organization of the State are now running Grover Cleveland's cauvass. Both Daniel Manning and Daniel Lamout were Mr. Tilden's con. fldentlal and trusted agents In 1871 and 1876.

They are the head and front this year of the Cleveland forces, bo far as tills State is concerned. They know every method and every trick by which Mr. Tilden helped swell his largo majorities In those years and the Inference is fair that they are profiling by them now. Thus fur very little noise has been mado. The respectable old gentlemen who are running things at the national hcadquartors do some blustering and loud talking, but tho real work In New York State has been done thus far without attracting attention.

There arc two workshops. Oue Is in New York, called the State Committee Rooms. It is the publicly acknowledged headquarters and considerable work Is being done there. But the real labor of the campaign is being done in Albany, under the supervision of Mr. Manning and Governor Cloveland.

Here all the canvass returns are sent and here all the ordors are given. The old still hunt is on again. How encouraging things look may be Inferred from the cheerfulness that is apparent In any Democrat who knows the secrets of the Albany workshop. PATCHING VP PEACE. True to Mr.

Tilden's plan the policy of harmony and reconciliation has been most earnestly followed out. There were heartburnings and dissensions following the Chicago Convention. The R. P. Flower phalanx, strong In Jefferson and St Lawrence counties, was ready to bolt.

William Purcell led a band of kickers In Monroe. The Oswego countyelemont was not happy. Kings county was In revolt and there was trouble with Tammany. Manning has made peace with all of them except Tammany. He has promised them the earth, the sea and all that In them Is If they will only fall iu line.

Flower was the first to capitulate. He not only led over his followers In a band, but bo came down handsomely with his cash. Flower Is very rich and he will not miss the SuO.OOO he has contributed. The peace with the I'urcell men was harder to effect, for the trouble was deeper, but It has been brought about finally, within ten days, and Monroe county is marching In the column to victory. The Kings county fight was seltlcd onco to the apparent satisfaction of everyone and then it broke out anew.

The peace policy, however, has made everything serene once more. CLEVELAND'S PROSPECTS BRIGHTER. It may bo said In truth that things look very much better for Grover Cleveland than they did three weeks ago, in that the party has greatly strengthened. Tho disaffection has almost entirely passed away In the country districts. Tammany alone remains In an attitude of Inactivity.

Sho is nn unknown factor In the voting. The word has not been given. When it comes Tammany will obey. She is under the best discipline of any political organization in the land. She may swing in line for Cleveland at the last moment und be forgiven.

Butler is fast losing strength. There is, however, a considerable Irish vote that nt this writing promises to go against Cleveland, but It is more than matched by the losses to Blaine by the Prohibition vote and the Independent Republicans and the Stalwart klckors. These three elements will cast a vast number of voles. The independents have sent out notices to Republicans in New York city and Brooklyn asking how I hey will vote, and it Is said by the Independent leaders that they have received replies from 48,000 Republicans wbo will vote against Blaine, A Foot Ball lor Roughs. A gang of white roughs passed up South trect from Sixth at about half past eleven o'clock yesterday morning.

They were drunk and Insolent. At the corner of Eighth street they found John Jackson, a colored man, of 615 Konaldson street, standing at a lamp post and trying to give three maudlin cheers tor some favorite candidate. Only one cheer had passed bis lips when he was knocked Into the street by one of the gang. He bad hardly stopped falling when the crowd was upon him. They kept him moving from curb to curb like a fool ball, Jackson yelled and the frightened neighbors cried "Pollcel" Five minutes later an officer arrived and pushed his way through a crowd of nearly a thousand men and boys.

The negro was rescued, bruised, cut nnd bleeding. His olothos were muddy and torn nnd blood streamed from an ugly gash across his forehead.

"But let me see; perhaps it is something I can attend to." The envelope was quickly torn open. It read: BALTiynae, October li. Everything K.

But to explain the message. I suppose there was an incipient outbreak at their departure and old Sitting Bull, with the strategy of a Von Moltke, has telegraphed ahead for cream." A PLEASANT ANNIVERSARY. Interesting Services In One of tbe Oldest Mariners' Churches in Philadelphia. The sixty fifth anniversary of the Warmers' Church of Philadelphia, commonly called the Easlbnm Mariners' Church, on Front, above Pine street, was celebrated yesterday. The church was prettily decorated with flags and the pulpit with potted plants.

In the morning an historical sermon was preached by the pastor, the Rev. Henry F. Lee. Ho said the church bad been first established lu a small building near the second whurf above Market street, lu October, 1819, by Joseph Kastburn, then the leading cabinet maker and undertaker of tbe city. In 1821a uew church building was erected on Water street, above Walnnt.

This church was sold In 1806, as one was needed further down the river, and the present one on Front street was built. Since the establishment of the church It is estimated that one thousand sailors have been converted. During this time the church has had twelve ministers, as follows: Joseph Eastburn, Orson Douglas, S. F. Holladas', Charles Rockwell, J.

B. Ripley, Charles H. Kwing, Henry F. Lee, D. H.

Emerson, D. A. Vincent Group, I. V. W.

Schenck and Henry F. Lee. With the exception of Joseph Eastburn the most successful minister was the Rev. Orson Douglas, who was pastor for fourteen years. The church of late years had not been successful.

In the afternoon the Rev. E. D. Murphy, D. of New York, gave an account of his twenty years' experience as pastor of the Mariners' Church in New York.
