Altoona, Mar. 10, 1894. WE THINK, WE ARE QUITE POSITIVE That our dress goods window displays the prettiest and most attractive fabrics the city affords and our trimmer has arranged them so as to bring out their full beauty and richly merit the almost extravagant expressions of admiration from the crowds that gather and linger around the window. Grace, beauty and delicacy, why should they not charm and delight? Our dress departments are crowded to overflowing with new goods, silk, wool and cotton, in all the latest and most desirable fabrics. While the window shows specimens of pattern goods, in all wool and silk and wool, we have new styles in cotton goods that are climbing the highest pinnacle to favoritism though scarcely yet at home in their new quarters.

There is so much of Individual style and beauty about many of the new weaves that the advertiser despairs of conveying an adequate hint even of what they are like, so you are invited to come in and see with your own eyes. Stop at the department to left of Eleventh avenue entrance and ask to see the new Crepe Moire's, a new weave In crepe and Moire effects, very dressy indeed, 32 inches wide and only 2 a. yard. Perhaps the Queen of the new fabrics is La Maravilla, a French novelty goods in cotton but holding all the charm of silk in its irridescent meshes, some having the glistening tints and feathery shapes of the peacock's plumage, 32 inches wide and 40c a yard. They would make exquisite -3 NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING WON.

SPRANKLE'S Xx Anonymous Letters Received at Washington Concerning Him. Washington, March 9. Ia the executive session of the senate to-day no action was taken on the nomination of Marshal J. Wright, nominated to be naval officer at Philadelphia. This case having been laid over until next week Every republican senator to-day received au anonymous letter from some one In Altoona, attacking the record of Wright, among other things accusing him of being the author of a toast to J.

Wilkes Booth, the night that Mr. Harrison was elected president. It is understood that the opposition comes from his own party and that the delay which has taken place at the request of Mr. Quay has the antagonism of certain democrats. Poisoned Himself.

Reading, March 9 The mystery surrounding the death of Wentworth Gro-ver, who came here from Chicago, continues, but there are stronger evidences now that "he poisoned himself It is learned that his wife in Chicago bad applied for a divorce and that the case was to have come up on March 26 Grover told his attorney that he did not believe he would live long and directed that lawyer to take charge of his private papers. On the day of Grover's death a partially torn letter addressed to Attorney Shearer was found at the former's boarding house. In it Grover referred to his illness, his mental anguish and declared there was little left for him to live for. He joined the Knights of Pythias at Oakland, and the members of the order here will comply with the wife's request and give the body a Christian burial.) i Grover was very reticent.but he told several acquaintances that he had actually lost $300,000 in disastrous speculations. He came originally from New York state and is said to have been a distant relative of President Cleveland, being a connection of the family from which the president gets his first name.

The Dark Horse Chosen. Washington, March 9. By the appointment of Messrs. O'Donnell and Beach to day, ex-postmasters at Pittsburgh and New Haven respectively, President Cleveland has disposed of two cases which have given him considerable trouble. He has repeatedly referred to the "hard" cases of his administration.

There was a fierce contest over the Pittsburgh office. The candidates were John C. O'Donnell, John Larkin, J. C. Howley and Patrick Foley.

The state administration, as well as Mr. Harrity, were favorable to Messrs. Larkin and Foley. Congressman Sipe endorsed Mr. Howley.

Mr. O'Donnell was the dark horse in the race. He had been an applicant for the office of surveyor of customs at Pittsburgh, but had stepped aside for another candidate, whose friends subsequently endorsed Mr. O'Donnell. After considering the matter for several months, the president, finding it impossible to choose between the other three, selected Mr.

O'Donnell as the compromise candidate. Persistent Incendiaries. Special to the Tbibunk. Huntingdon, March 9. Some person, it seems, is determined to burn the building in Petersburg, owned by Wain-wright of Philadelphia, and once occupied by Rumbarger merchants.

Only a few nights ago auger boles were bored through the weatherboarding and oil poured therein and ignited, but before the flames had gained much headway they were extinguished. About 4 o'clock this morning the building was again discovered to be on fire, and it was only after the most earnest efforts ou the part of the voluuteer fire department that the structure was saved In this instance the stairway and other parts of the building were saturated and ignited. A quautity of dynamite was found about the premises which indicated that the incendiaries were bent on destruction of the most dastardly kind. The Family Made a Narrow Escape. Special to the Tiubunk.

Huntingdon, March 9. A dwelling in Barree occupied by Isaac Parks, wife and three childreu, was burned to the ground between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning, together with all the contents. The loss, however, will not resch over 800. Insurance about half that amount. The fire was caused by a defective tiae, and the family were all asleep when it originated.

The crackliug of the liimes awakened them, but not until they had gained considerable headway, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the inmates escaped with their lives, especially so with reference to Mr. Parks, as he is blind. Suspicions of Foul Play. Lancaster, March 9. The body of a woman was found this afternoon floating in the Conestoga creek near Rei goer's landing.

It had apparently been in the water several weeks, and the face bore various marks of violence, which leads to the suspicion of foul play. There was nothing on the woman's person to ideutify her. She was of Irish birth, about 45 years old and five feet four iuches tall. She had a pocket-book on her person, but it contained no money. There were gold rings in her ears.

The supposition is that the body floated from some distance up the creek. The coroner will hold an inquest to-morrow. The Deal Finally Made. Allentown, March 9. The final act iu the deal by which the Lehigh Valley Traction com piny secures control of the Allentown and Bethlehem Rapid Transit company took place in New York to-day, when the transit people turned over to the Traction company 7,000 shares of -stock and $400,000 floating indebtedness, receiving in return a check for nearly $1,000,000 that has been lying in a New York bank for two weeks.

The two companies will be run independently until the connections can be made. When this shall be done a five cent fare is to be inaugurated. A Fatal Landslide. Oil City, March 9. A freight train on the Western New York and Pennsylvania railroad ran into a landslide several miles east of here this morning, causing the death of Fireman Martin and the destruction of fourteen cars.

The other members of the crew escaped by jumping and swimming across the Allegheny river. The train was compound mainly of tank cars loaded with oil. The wreck and floating oil took fire from the engine, the fUmes being seen from this city. No trace of Martin has been found. A Thief Convicted.

Pittsburg, March 9. When criminal court couveued this moruing a sealed verdict in the Annie Alexander case was opened. The defendant was found gui'ty as indicted on each of the five charges of larceny. The young lady, who has been an all around thief from childhood was not iu the ltast disturbed, and when called before the bar smiled in the ice of th) court. She was remanded to jail for seuttmce.

Her home is at New Cantle, Pa. Her sensational escapades are almost without number. Man and Wife Cremated. Buffalo, N. March 9.

A dispatch from Dslavati, Catarragus county, says: Fire, last night, destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs William Snyder, an aged couple of this place. Both perished in the flames. Snyder was awakened by the fire and rushed to the door, calling loudly for help and arousing the neighbors. He then rushed back into the house, presumably to aid his wife, who was bedridden.

That was the last seen of him alive. The charred remains of both were recovered. Presidential Nominations. Washington, March 9. The president, to-day, sent to the senate the following nominations: Postmasters (Pennsylvania) Johu C.

Three boys living in Logantown were arrested yesterday for engaging in a free fight. Among other arrests made last night were one drunk and committing a nuisance, one disorderly, one common drunk and one who stands charged with being drunk, disorderly and resisting an ollicer. Tbe latter customer was arrested on Twelfth street by Ollicer McGinley about 10 o'clock, and made so violent a resistance that it was only with the greatest dilliculty that he was locked uneven after Ollicer W. W. Cherry came to the assistance of Officer McGiuley.

One of the old time crowds gathered to see the sport, following the ollicers and their prisoner to the city building and applauding heartily whenever the drunken man became boisterously abusive or profane, and in olbr ways indicating quite plainly that Evangelist Dean, the Rescue Mission and 8.11 tho other regenerating influence of the city have still a wide field to till before all the residents of this city shall have become good citizens. The Indian Band. No other band in the world has made such a reputation as the Indian band from the Carlisle school, from the fact that they have only been in existence a few years; but their concerts have been applauded by thousands, especially so when they were at Chicago at the World's Fair, where they received the very highest praise possible by the press. This full-blooded Indian band, assisted by three Indian lady vocalists, will make their first appearance in Altoona, at the Eleventh Avenue opera house, Saturday, March 17.

HARRIS SERVED IN HIS STEAD He Acted in the Capacity and Exercised the Eights of the Absent Man. The Bland Bill Was Again Up For Discussion in the Body, Etc.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE EODSE Washington, March 9. The vice president having left the city for a trip to North Carolina with Mrs. Stevenson, who is not in good health, the chair was occupied by Mr. Harris, president pro tern. The house bill, passed March 6, to amend the act of March 3, 1887, authorizing the construction of a bridge across the East river between New York and Long Island, was reported without amendment from the committee on commerce and was passed.

Mr. Peffer, of Kansas, offered a preamble and resolution reciting the circulation in the city and rural newspapers of the statements that senators, making use of their official knowledge, have been operating on the stock exchange in the shares of the sugar trust, and that many of them have thus acquired large gains aDd profits, and directing the appointment of a select committee of five senators to investigate the subject. He asked that the resolution lie on the table for the present Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania, inquired if it was in order to move to lay the resolution on the table and was informed that it was not, as th9 resolution was not before the senate, having been laid on the table. Mr.

Pettigrew, of South Dakota, offered a resolution which was agreed to, calling on tha state department for information as to changes made in the weight and fineness of the Bilver coins of India, Russia and the Argentine Eepublic. At 2 p. m. the unfinished business was laid before the senate, it being the Bland seigiorage bill. Mr.

Allison, of Iowa, who was entitled to the floor on motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill went to its third reading, excused himself from speaking on account of hoarseness and suggested that a day and an hour should be fixed by unanimous consent for taking a vote on his motion. Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, expressed his desire to accommodate any senator, and he proposed that the vote on Mr. Allison's motion should be taken at 3 o'clock on Wednesday. He would not commit himself, however, to give unanimous consent to the offering of amendments if the motion were voted down.

Mr. Manderson I am so firmly convinced that the construction of the language in the first section of the bill is as I stated yesterday, and that that construction does not carry out the intention of those who framed the bill, that I want by some method to have the bill amended. I think the bill is very defective. It not only requires the coinage of fifty five millions of silver, but also authorizes the issue of silver certificates to the amount of another fifty-five millions. I desire to have the bill corrected in that particular.

And the only other way by which it can be done if the motion to reconsider shall be voted down, will be to move to commit the bill to the committee on finance with instructions to report it back with amendments. And give notice that I will make that motion Mr. Harris gave it as his opinion that Mr. Manderson was mistaken in his construction of the bill. Many propositions for unanimous consent as to the course of proceed ure on the bill were objected to, until finally Mr.

Harris asked and received unanimous consent to the following arrangement: That the senate would vote at 2 o'clock on Wednesday next on Mr. A-Hison's mo-lion to reconsider; that if that motion failed it might be followed by the motion suggested by Mr. Manderson; that all debate after 2 o'clock oh Wednesday should be limited to a five-minute rule, and that the final vote should be taken at 2 o'clock on Thursday. Mr. Vilas, of Wisconsin, then addressed the senate in opposition to the bill.

He said that he felt great apprehension as to the consequences which its passage would bring to the country. Mr. Stewart Will the senator explain how and in what respect this country would be injured if we should open our mints to silver and if gold should go to a premium. Mr. Vilas It would afford me great pleasure to instruct the senator in that respect, but were I gifted with the tongue of angels, that instruction would do him no good.

Laughter. In the course of Mr. Villas's argument he was asked by Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, as to the amount of free gold in the treasury, and gave that amount as $106,000,000. When Mr.

Allen intimated some doubts as to the correctness of treasury statements, he was informed by Mr. Vilas that he (Mr. Vilas) was unable to state the equation between the exact figures of the secretary of the treasury and the misunderstanding of the senator from Nebraska. Some suggestions had been made by Mr. Wolcott, ot Colorado, as to the real meaning of certain language in the bill, which he admitted was not so precise as it ought to be.

Mr. Vilas spoke of the singular want of perspicuity, the singular unhappi-nesg and infelicity of the language of the bill and of the necessity of the adoption of the motion. A senator from Iowa said that we have some opportunity to perfect the phraseology of the bill. Continuing his speech Mr Vilas said: The secretary of the treasury has asked for no such legislation and he is known to stand opposed to its utility at this time. While it is trae, said Mr.

Aldrich, that the secretary of the treasury has not formally presented any request for this legislation, I understand from the attitude of the senator from Indiana and from the attitude of the senator from Tennessee there was a requsst from the administration for the passage of this bill in order that it might be of some assistance in carrying out the policy agreed upon. Mr. Vilas finally yielded to a motion to proceed to executive business, although he said he had not been able owing to frequent interruptions, to get through the first part of his argument, which he will resume next Monday. The senate at 5 30 p. after a short executive sesoion, adjourned till Monday.

THE IRON MARKET IMPROVING Medium and Low Priced Articles Seem to Be in Demand by MoBt Dealers, Probably Owing to Shortness in Purses of Many of the Consumers. TAB FAILURES OF THE WEEK New York, March 9. R. G. Dun weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: "Evidences of present improvement in business maltiplies.but confidence in future improvement does not seem to increase.

There is more business and a larger production by industries, for the season has arrived when greater activity is necessary if dealers' stocks are to be replenished, and those who cannot make calculations beyond a few months are the more anxious to crowd as much trade as they safely can into those months. In seme branches of distribution, however, there are indications of a diminishing demand for goods, and the evident preference to medium and low priced articles with the known reduction in wages and family expenditures, lead many to feel less confident that business will soon recover its former volume The most distinct gain is in iron and steel manufacture. Tbe increase of the output of pig iron was 10 per cent, during the month, though it is still 37.8 per cent, less than a year ago It is also stated that some other furnaces have gone into blast since March 1 and that unsold stocks have made practically no increase in February, so that the actual consumption in all branches of manufacture is at least 10 per cent, greater than in November, December or January. Yet prices are lower steel billets $15,25 at Pittsburgh and plates 1.15 at Philadelphia-the lowest ever known. Some moderate, but no important contracts are reported here, and at Philadelphia business in finished products is not as active as it was two or three weeks ago.

At Pittsburgh markets are weaker in spite of fairly large orders for strubtural iron and encouraging conditions in the production of wire, rods and nails. Trade in bar iron is very unsatisfactory; rails are flat and with a larger production of coke, contracts are made as low as ever. Shipments of boots and shoes from the east are 14 8 per cent, smaller than a year ago for the same weeks. In textile manufactures and dry goods there are increased activity and replenishment of stocks, and is natural at this sea sou, but the demand thus far falls much short of expectation. In woolens also.ruan-ufacturers are increasing production mainly in a tentative way, or on orders which are little more than sufficient "to test the market.

But the sales of wool at the three chief markels for the week have beeu 5,150,000 pounds against 5,596,000 for the same week last year and in the past five weeks the decrease has only been 12 per cent, which is a marked improvement. Speculation has fleen much more active, if not more healthy. The sudden rise in sugar certificates followed by as sudden a fall has not tended to impart confidence to the stock market, and while the average of railroad stocks is 60 cents per share cigher ann of trusts $2 per share higher for the week. All movements have been based mainly on reports about legislation which uaried from hour to hour. Railroad, earnings in the fourth week of February were 14 per cent less than last year, against 13.5 for the third week and 13 2 for the month It is encouraging that net earnings in January were better than for some months, but east bound shipments from Chicago for three weeks are still 33.4 percent, less than last year.

Breadstuffs have been stronger, provisions weaker and cotton hesitates Wheat advanced half a cent. Corn rose nearly a cent; lard and hogs both declined, nevertheless. Sales of cotton were larger at first, with some decline, which was afterwards recovered. The recovery in bar silver has affected prices. The volume of domestic trade shown by clearings decreases for the week only 17.4 per cent outside New York and 34 9 per cent, here compared with last year.

In foreign trade changes are also for the better, exports having been large, and for four weeks 14 per cent, larger than last year, while the decrease in imports for February was 37 per cent Thus custom revenue does not improve, and for the week has been 51 par cent less than last year, the decrease in iuternal revenue being 16 per cent. Money is weak with farther decrease in the demand for commercial loans. Failures are growing less important and somewhat fewer also. The number of failures during the past week has been 248 iu the United States against 193 last year, and sixty iu Canada aginst thirty-two last year. Scarcely a single oue is of importance and it is gratifying that the consequences of the great reverse last year have been so far overcome.

The Prosecutor Was Present and Gave Evidence in Court. WAS NOT IN ANYWISE WORRIED Washington, March 9. Miss Madeline Vinton Pollard, plaintiff in the suit against Congressman Beckenridge, appeared this morning long before court convened. Miss Pollard was accompanied by her counsel, Judge Jere Wilson and Calderon Carlisle. She had also with her a Sister of Mercy from the home in this city, where she has been staying recently, and a female friend.

Miss Pollard was cool. She showed no Bigns of trepidation as she became the focus of many pairs of male eyes and calmly took her seat. The court iiad not convened when the distinguished looking defendant entered the room. Miss Pollard was talking to Judge Wilson at the time; glancing up to see the new comer, her eyes met those of Colonel Breckenridge. Without seeming to see him, she went on talking to her counsel, and apparently gazed into Bpace.

Every person in the court room watched the little incident. Her appearance was prepossessing. Mr. Carlisle opened the case for the plaintiff, taking up tbe charges and the answers verbatim. Upon the conclusion of Mr.

Carlisle's presentation of the case Mrs. Blackburn, widow of ex Governor Luke Blackburn, of Kentucky, was called to the stand and testified that Breckinridge had told her that he would marry Miss Pollard. Miss Pollard was present on two occasions when Colonel Breckinridge had informed witness that he intended to marry her. The colonel at the.same time had requested the witness to extend to Miss Pollard her motherly care. Mrs Blackburn resumed the stand after the recess and at Colonel Thompson's request identified the two telegrams produced this morning received from Colonel Breckenridge while ehe and Miss Pollard were in New York.

The first read: "Washington, April 2, Madelines address, 7 East Thirty-first street Wire her there." The second was dated New York and said Miss Pollard would meet Mrs. Blackburn at the station. Both were signed by Colonel Breckinridge. Miss Mary Desh, a sister of the first Mrs. Breckinridge, a clerk in the pension office, was called for the plaintiff and testified she met Miss Pollard first in Lexington in the summer of 1889, and also with Secretary and Mrs.

the World's Fair. The next witness was Colonel William G. Moore, superintendent of police of Washington. On May 13, 1893, Miss Pollard came to his office, followed by Colonel Breckinridge. Miss Pollard was greatly excited.

Colonel Breckinridge said that this lady threatened him with death and he wanted protection. Miss Pollard said Colonel Breckinridge had promised to marry her and she wanted the marriage to take place that day. Colonel Breckinridge said he intended to make her his wife on May 31 Miss Pollard laid her hands affectionately on his shoulders, the tears coursing down her cheeks Colonel Breckinridge showed no signs of trepidation or fear. The witness said he warned Miss Pollard against making threats. When Colonel Breckinridge told of bis intention to marry Miss Pollard he did so in an earnest manner.

On May 17, 1893, Colonel Breckinridge and Miss Pollard came again to his office. Colonel Breckinridge said Miss Pollard was pregnant by him and that she would leave for New York in the morning to prepare-for the event. Colonel Brackiuridgo said that when the child was born they would be married and wibhed Colonel Moore to witness the understanding. "They clasped hands," said the witness, "as if to bind the agreement. It was a very impressive scene." Mr.

Carlisle asked Colonel Moore whether the second conversation with Colonel Breckinridge and Miss Pollard was a qual-fication of the first and Colonel BrecKin-ridge and his counsel all objected in a breath. The witness was asked to draw conclusions, they said. At Judge Bradley '8 suggestion the was mvdifiod and Colonel Moore answered that he had receivedjsome telegrams and letters from Colonel Breckenridge which seemed to qualify his former assertions. These were produced tnd Colonel Breckenridge identified them as coming from him. Colonel Thompson asked the witness to send for "the gun which the lady pulled out of her bosom" in his office, and while a messenger went to get it Colonel Thompson bpgan the cross examination.

Miss Pollard, said the witness, threw up her hands when accused by Colonel Breckenridge of wanting to kill him. She said those were the only weapons she had. Judge Bradley would not allow the revolver taken out by Miss Pollard to be produced, claiming a description was all that was necessary. It was of 38 calibre, self-acting, of new style. Dr.

N. S. Lincoln, a distinguished practitioner of Washington, was called. In answer to Mr. Carlisle he said Colonel Breckinridge and Miss Pollard called on him at his office in 1893 and Colonel Breckinridge said he presumed the doctor knew the relations of the plaintiff and himself, and that they were to become closer.

Colonel Breckinrige said Miss Pollard needed treatment. She was very low in spirits and he wished to place her under Dr. Lincoln's charge. Adjourned until Monday. $150,000 Worth of Bonds Missing.
