In Whip Cords real beauties are shown at 95c a yard, and 42 inches wide. They have a style and elegance that makes them popular with many ladies. If one wants agood, serviceable gown for a very small outlay it can be found in the large assortment of cloths in many shades, 52 inches wide, at 50c a yard 54 inches at 75c, and 36 inches at 37 a yard. In Camel's Hair Plaids there are some handsome shades, 54 inches wide and $1.25 a yard, a decided bargain that finds many takers. There are all wool goods in light evening shades, that will make pretty and serviceable Party Costumes and at the same time cost much less than Silk.

In Henriettas, Pink, Cream and Lavender, 40 inches wide, 75c the same in Albatros at 50c a yard. There are a few Pattern Dresses in light shades that would make Lovely Evening Dresses. Bargain-hunters need look no further than the Remnant Counter for cheap, good Dresses, as there are always plenty, from a whole Dress Pattern to one large enough for a small Child, and all at a heavy reduction from first cost. WHY should not a salesman be proud of the stock under his charge, especially when he knows it to be up to the notch in latest styles, great variety and" prices that stagger competition. This is the present status of the busy managers of our Colored Dress Goods Department, for, said one: "We have never before had quite so large and varied a stock in best manufactures at such low prices, and especially have we never had so large a variety of beautiful Dress Patterns at such low figures as just now." A pleasant feature in the Dress Pattern arrangement is the fact that no two are alike.

So when you get a gown that just suits you, is handsome and stylish and all that, you have the comfortable assurance of knowing that no one else can get one just like it. We have, a limited number of these Dress Patterns left, in most popular shades, that will make elegant costumes, that we have decided to close out at a large reduction. A better chance for a genuine bargain than you can find in a day's travel. If you have any doubts ask to see them and be convinced. Probably the next-best bargain is our Camel's Hair Zig-Zags in popular shades that have grown steadily upon the good graces of our lady customers since their first appearance on account of their worth, beauty and cheapness, This new fabric is all wool, quaintly figured and in desirable shades, is 42 inches wide ana only 50c a yard and made with a trimming of velvet, in contrasting or harmonizing shades, would constitute very handsome gowns.

There is a fine new line of Colored Henriettas in popular shades, 46 inches wide and 75 to 99c a yard. An excellent line of Colored Serges LF Cleveland Addressed New Jersey Democrats Last Night. MOSTLY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE Ha Reviews the Details cf Sis Election in 1884, and His Defeat in 1888. The Republican Senate Kept Him from Carrying Out His "Views. HIS SPEECH REPORTED IN FULL Jersey City, N.

November 4. Following is the sjieech of Grover Cleveland delivered before a democratic mass meeting in Oakland avenue rink this evening: Fellow citizens: Two considerations have had much to do with my acceptance of the kind invitation tendered me to be with you to-night. I did not feel quite like allowing the campaign to close without vising my native state and I desired to meet again face to face a representation of the democracy of New Jersey one of the bravest and most steadfast divisions of the grand army of the national democracy. Eight years ago when another presidential campaign had advanced nearly to the precise stage the present one has reached I came to your state and declared it to be my understanding of democratic creed that all taxation should be limited to the requirements of an economical government and that every cent taken from the pockets beyond these requirements was no betterthan robbery. I need not recall to your minds the result of that campaign.

With a democratic president and house of representatives you know how faithfully we attempted to engraft these doctinss upon the policy of the country and how constantly we worked to relieve the people from the burden of taxation which had their origin in the exigencies of a terrible and wasting but had been continued through many years of peace to serve the purpose of private and selfish interests. We fought for the people's rights and welfare as against taxing the poor to increase the fortunes of the rich. You remember that the measure of relief passed by our democratic house of representatives was defeated by a republican senate, thus demonstrating how far the majority of that body was removed from sympathy with the needs of the people. From the recreancy of the senate we appeal again in another presidential election to the people with the pledge that if entrusted with power we would still continue to struggle to rectify the wrongs of an unjust tariff. In the campaign of 1888 we still followed the banner upon which was emblazoned the legend "unecessary taxation is unjust taxation." It is needless to remind you of the agencies which operated to defeat the democracy in that campaign.

One feature of the canvass, however, is interesting. It is impossible for our opponents to overlook the fact that our contention in the cause of the past had arrested the attention of the voters of the land to such an extent that there wasdanger in the further insistance; that the burdens then resting upon the plain men and women who toiled for the scant necessaries of life were fair and just; and they awoke to the fact that partisan success demanded the promise on their part that these burdens should be made more easy. Then it was that the concession was made by them that our tariff laws ought to be amended and readj usted and then it was that the party whose representatives in the senate had defeated oui plan of relief for the people rang the changes on the delusive cry: "Let the tariff be readjusted by its friends." Of course this involved the pretense that the republican party not only comprised the friends of the tariff, but also the friends of the people. Thus pledged, they gained ascendancy in every branch of the government. Four years hsrve passed, and in another presidential campaign you are asked to judge of the manner in which these pledges have been kept, and to determine, in the light of present conditions, whether the benefits promised at the last national election as a result of republican supremacy have been realized.

The tariff has been amended.if not by its friends evidently by the friends of those who grow rich under its unjust opportunities. Certainly it is not the handwork of the friends of the people. Has the party which promised to be their friends lightened the burden of life in the homes of our Do you and your wives and your children enjoy the comforts and advantages your labor should supply. Where are the increased wages of our workingmen which they were assured would follow the amendment of the tariff by its friends? You know that broken promises and violated pledges are scattered all along the path of the republican party since four years ago they came to the people with fair words. The democratic party, with no faithlessness to excuse and no shortcomings to explain, again appeals to the voters of the land for their suffrages, and declares its continued adhesion to the doctrine that the government has no right to burden the people by taxation beyond the necessity of its economical administration.

New Jersey has never faltered in her support of the doctrine since the struggle in the people's cause. Again her voters have been steadfast at the polls in spite of every blandishment, and the valiant fight of her senior senator on the floor of the senate for honest tariff reform has arrested the attention and provoked the applause of the democracy of the country. You state is now asked to repeat the verdict she has twice rendered, and why should not this verdict be forthcoming? The coils of the present tariff are greater than those you condemned years ago. You'have now absolute proof of the falsity of republican promises, which, four years ago, you refused to believe. These conditions of your democratic traditions still in the keeping of brave and sturdy men and the steadfastness of your state in the cause of democracy maintained in many a hard fought battle, forbid your faltering now.

The national democracy rests its hope for success upon the people's intelligence and patriotism and upon the confident trust that the principles of our voters will not be bartered away. In the front rank and in the thickest of the fight we shall still look for the banner of New Jersey and in the din of victory we shall listen for the familiar shout of New Jersey's democracy. Senator McPberson followed Mr. Cleveland. He was warmly received and his speech was liberally punctuated with applause.

That Go-Operative Steel Plant. Homestead, November 4. There is considerable discussion going on here over the proposed co-operative steel plant. Mr. K.

Sands of London, England, who came here yesterday to confer with the advisory board regarding the scheme stated that he had an option on a tract of 90,000 acres of land located in Bath and Allegheny -counties, Virginia. This tract was rich, in coal and iron and was undeveloped. Some two years ago an effort was made with capitalists of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore partly with English capital to develop the property, but though the failure of the Baring Brothers the scheme failed to materialize. These men are still ready to invest in the scheme, and he considered it was a most favorable opportunity of cm-ploying the large force of skilled men here that would be hard to obt ain at other According to Mr. Sando's proposition, thi Homestead men are to raise 500,000 and the syndicate agrees to invest 4,000,000 in the co-operative plant.

How much each share will cost and what kind of a plant will be built is to be settled at a future conference. Oleovaarine Oases on Trial. Pittsburgh, November 4. In the supreme court the greater portion of the session was taken up with the argument of appeals in olemargarine cases. On the resnlt of these cases depends much of the future prosperity and welfare of the oleomargarine dealers in this vicinity.

Not only will the question as to whether the dealers will have to pay damages to the commonwealth be decided, but the fate of the 400, who pleaded guilty to selling oleomargarine in criminal court last spring and whoHe sentences were suspended, pending the hearing and decision of oases will either escape or be called up for sentence according to the decision to be rendered. D.r F. Patterson, attorney for the oleomargarine men, attacked the constitutionality of the act and claims that no. recovery or convinction could be had under it. A Blaae in a Jail.

REV. FATHER JAMES DONNELLY. The Funeral of the Pastor of St. Mary's Church, Hollidaysburg, Yesterday. Our Hollidaysburg correspond writes; St.

Mary's Catholic church was the scene yesterday morning of the most largely attended and impressive funeral service held in this town of recent years. The church was well filled with a congregation composed of prominent citizens from Altoona, Tyrone, Gallitzin and this place, and hundreds of people stood on the sidewalks outside. The decorations, composed of heavy bands of mourning suspended over the heads of the worshipers, heightened the solemnity and many were the manifestations of grief over the departure of the beloved pastor, Rev. Father James Donnelly. The profuse and beautiful floral emblems about the burial casket consisted of pillows and crosses of roses, carnations and chrysanthemums.

Curry, for years one of our most prominent citizens, died yesterday morning. For more than a year past he has baen a constant sufferer. In the early part of this year he had an attack of the "grip" which left his lungs in a weak condtiion and finally developed into consumption. Of fine appearance physically, and of a genial, pleasant bearing he made many friends. Possessed of much intelligence and general information, he had few superiors as a conversationalist.

Although he spent but a few years in the ministry, he gave promise of much usefulness, and his sermons were interesting and instructive. His style was ornate, logical and illustrative. As a business man, he gave much attention to details and was remarkable for correctness.and thorough acquaintance with the usages and laws of the state governing business transactions. He was fond of his family and during the life time of his most most estimable wife, whom he married in March, 1857, his house was the "home of hospitality." He leaves three daughters Mrs. Anna Todd, wife of Alex.

B. Todd, of Tacoma, Washington; Mrs. Virginia Henderson, wife of G. R. Henderson, Roanoke, and Mrs.

Katherine Rathbun, wife of W. p. Rathbun, of this city. Mr. Curry was at the time of his death a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church of this city, and during his last ill-nee he was frequently visited by Dr.

D. S. Monroe, the pastor of that church. To him on several occasions he expressed his trust in the atonmentof the Lord Jesus Christ and his readiness to "depart and be with Christ." Mr. Curry was born in Huntingdon, September 25, 1831.

His grandfather was a participator in the siege of the city of Londonderry, Ireland; his mother was from Scotland, and emigrated to this country when in her 18th year, and in Boston, became acquainted with and married William Curry about 1818 and they moved to Huntingdon soon after. Being in comparatively poor circumstance he was unable to afford his son that thorough education to which he aspired, but James was possessed of the indomitable courage and determination which in after years were so perceptible. When 19 years of age, he attended the Pine Grove academy and subsequently the Cassville seminary. Whilst teaching school at Trough Creek Valley he was licensed as an exhortor in the Methodist Episcopal by Rev. Dr.

J. M. Clarke, and was later appointed by Rev. J. A.

Collins as an assistant pastor on the Schellsburg having traveled ten years as a member of the Baltimore conference. When the war broke out, he assisted in raising a-regiment and was appointed the first volunteer chaplain in the United States, and participated in the first battle on Briar mountain. On June 28, 1864, Governor Pierpont commissioned him chaplain of the Th'rd Virginia regiment. He afterward held the rank of captain of cavalry; participated in the battles of Cross Keys, Brandy Station, Culpepper Court House, Antietam and Mine Run. For meritorious conduct the West Virginia legislature presented him with a superb medal representing on the obverse the coat of arms of that state, and on the reverse the words, "Presented by the state of West Virginia," and the entablature was engrayed "Honorably Discharged." Having been in active service three years, he returned home, so seriously impaired in health as to preclude the resumption of the ministry, and engaged in mercantile pursuits in Altoona in 1872.

He was elected a member of the Pennsylvania constitutional convention, which appointed him chaplain and as a member he served on the committees on legislation and on agriculture, mining, manufactures and commerce. He was also, a member of the Altoona city council at. different times since the organization of the city under the laws of the state. The funeral services, which, at his request, will bo in charge of Fred C. Ward post, No.

D. S. Monroe, D. D. His body will be taken to the church, and such of his friends as desire to do so, can view the remains at any time on Monday, between the hours of 9 m.

and 2.30 p. m. THEATRICAL CHAT. What Altoona People Will Have For Amusements at the Eleventh Avenue Opera House. The critical Baltimore Sun speaks thus of the attraction which oomes to the opera house next Tuesday evening: "The clever Irish comedy, written by Marcus Moriarty for Andrew "Irish Loyalty," is undoubtedly one of the best Irish productions that has been before the public in the last few seasons.

The comedy has a simple but clever plot. The characters are drawn with strength and deftness. The action of the play moves forward with aocelerated interest, gaining in strength as act follows act, and the last curtain falls upon what is without doubt one of the best of Irish comedies." The election returns will be read from the stage during the presentation of "Irish Loyalty." The great rail road play, "The Pay Train," will return to this railroad city next Monday evening, appearing at the Eleventh Avenue opera house. The Cincinnati Post says of the play: The theatre, when the certain went up on the "Pay Train," was a sea of faces. The show made a hit and is worth the money No question about that.

If you go there with the expectation of seeing the best performance of the season for the money you will not be disappointed. Florence Bindley, the star comedienne, sang well, played skillfully on various musical instruments, danced to quick responding applause, and acted to the entire approval of the house. The cast includes Maggie Fielding, Fin Reynolds, W. J. Sully, Max Von Mitzel and others, who won the most flattering applause from the audience.

"The County Fair," with its exciting horse race, its husking bee and quaint New England humor will delight a large and intelligent audience at the Eleventh Avenue opera house to-night. Don't miss it. "Mr. Potter of Texas," Archibald Cleav-ering Gunter's great play, will be presented for the first time in Altoon at the Eleventh Avenue opera house, next Wednesday evening. This play is one of the breeziest and best we have upon the common theme of the rich American abroad.

Few dramas offer greater diversity of strong character, and when well rendered, as they will be here from Mr. potter himself down to the smaller parts, an entertainment is offered with weich it's hard for the most critical theatre-goer to find fault. The cast is strong and the scenery splendid. A New Railroad's Difficulties. Keadiko, November 4.

Public iuterost in the Reading, Lancaster and Baltimore railway which promised such great things in establishing a direct line between this city and the south has oompletely died out. A rumor reached here to-day that the charter would be sold to another party of capitalists for the purpose of pushing the work. It is now four months since the work was stopped. About six miles of farms were cut through in grading and the 300 Italians who worked nearly two months have never been paid. Representatives of the road are said to be still in Europe trying to raise money.

Trouble at a Colored Ball. Philadelphia, November 4. Trouble at a colored ball on Laurel street, in this city, culminated in a fight early this morning, during which Edward Taylor drew a revolver and began firing promiscuously. Thomas Jones fell with a ball in his leg, when Policeman Fisher arrived on the scene and rushed toward Taylor. The latter fired at the officer who only escaped a fatal wound by the interference of his belt plate which was broken by the bullet.

Some Evidence of Importance t6 the Suspected Negro. Camden, November 4. The Miller murder trial was resumed this morning, the defense continuing the cross-examination of John Miller, the husband of the murdered woman. No evidence of importance was adduced, however, the examination being almost solely as to his movements on the day of the murder. The witness said that he knew Judge Westcott suspected him of killing his wife and was going to try to put the crime on him.

Miller left the witness stand at 11 o'clock, after nearly eight hours of rapid cross-examination. Miss Mary Collins, the sister of Mrs. Miller was next called and her evidence for the state was soon concluded, and Judge Westcott took her in hand for cross-examination. In her testimony she said Lingo came to the Miller farm house on the morning of the murder and ate breakfast. When he arrived at the house his shirt sleeves were buttoned around the wrist and neither of them were torn.

This evidence is considered important by the state, a torn sleeve having been found near the scene of the murder, which it is claimed was torn from Lingo's shirt during Miller's struggle with her murderer. During the cross examination of Miss Collins, Judge Wescott suddenly asked her: "When you husband went to the depot Ths witness angrily interrupted: "I have no husband." udge Wescott begged her perdon, remarking that he meant John Miller. The next question was of a similar character and Miss Collins exclaimed: "I want this stopped. I have no husband." Trouble in Homestead. Homestead, November 4.

The first outbreak in a week occurred during the afternoon. Peyton Long and Washington Gibbs, two of the southern negroes brought from Virginia, have been boarding at a non-union colored boarding house. They went to supper as usual and started to return. Several children began to taunt the men calling them "nigger scabs," and throwing dirt at them until Gibbs turned and threatened the children The boy's mother standing by took up the quarrel with a scream that brought a dozen men and twice as many women to her assistance in a trice stones, bricks, palings from fences and other missiles were flying after the colored men, who fled in terror. A deputy sheriff appeared and called on the crowd to disperse, but he was laughed at and the mob pressed on after the fleeing negroes.

Fear, however, was swifter than anger and in a minute Washington Gibbs and Peyton Long were safe from any hurling stone, with but a few bruises as a reminder. AN OUTLAW KILLED. He Was-Sur rounded by United State Marshals and Riddled With Bullets. Tahleqtjah, I. November 4.

Ned Christie, the notorious outlaw who killed Dan Maples, a United States official, a year ago, is dead. He was surrounded about daylight yesterday by sixteen deputyUnited States marshals led by Dick Brunts and F. G. White. He resisted arrest.

Later in the evening the officers resorted to dynamite and succeeded in blowing down part of the house he had fortified and setting fire to the ruins. While the blaze was at its fiercest Christie was seen to emerge from under the floor and start to run, but was ordered to halt. He did not stop and was riddled with bullets, mutilating him terribly and knocking him down. He tried to regain his feet, but another volley settled him. The officers then turned their attention to the burning building and discovered Charlie Hare trying to escape.

He was terribly burned but was able to run. He was arrested. The body of a man named Wolf, who had been wounded early, was burned to a crisp in the building, which was entirely consumed. Betting Takes a Slump. Philadelphia, November 4.

Cleveland's election. He placed the money in the hands of Manager Baker, of the hotel, who held a similar amount put up by a republican who did not wish to have his name known. Mr. O'Rourke announced that he had $10,000 more to bet even in favor of Cleveland on the general result; $10,000 to $6,000 that New York will go democratic, and $10,000 even that New Jersey will giye 5,000 majority for the Cleveland electors.

THE YOLUME OF BUSINESS IS LARGE Money is Close at Some Points Bat Nowhere is Stringency Seen, and There are no Apprehensions as to the Immediate Future, Etc. BUSINESS FAILURES OF A WEEK New York, November 4.

R. G. Dun weekly review of trade says: Even the last week before a presidential election business has continued very active, indeed the volume is far beyond any for a similar period, yet the coming election has plainly diminished business in two ways. Multitudes have been diverted from trade to political activity and many more have chosen to postpone transactions until the political uncertainty has been removed. The fact that even under such circumstances trade has been of enormous volume shows how powerful is the impetus toward activity and expansion.

The people are clearly buying more goods than ever before, and in some branches manufacturers are realizing a slight advance in prices. Money is close at some western points, but nowhere is stringency seen and there is no apprehension as to the immediate future. Wheat has touched the lowest point ever known in this market, 73 cents, receipts at western points being still enormous, through the week averaging a little less than 1,500,000 daily. Exports have much increased.aud a recovery in price to 74)4 cents has resulted, but the decline for the week is still 4, cents. Corn has fallen a cent with no moderate movement, but oats are a cent higher.

Sales of cotton have amounted to more than a million bales and the price has advanced an eighth, for southern accounts appear to indicate a greater increase in yield and the receipts again are comparatively small. Coffee is c. lower and hogs also, while lard is a quarter stronger and oil lc. higher. Speculation is not very active except in common.

At Philadelphia iron has an advancing tendency. Some improvement is seen boots and shoes. The advance in paper is well maintained. Wool is active, some grades scarce. Clothing dealers are impatient for colder weather.

In paints, glass and oils moderate activity is seen. Pittsburgh notes activity in iron, especially in finished products and and a fair trade in glass. The iron business improves everywhere and unsold stocks are fast disappearing. Pig is stronger but bar somewhat weak. The demand for plate, is only moderate, but for structural iron very large and sheets are active with especial pressure for the lighter qualities.

Western competition depresses plates, but for the industry as a whole, the tone has distinctly improved. Wool sales for week have been pounds against 4,800,000 the same week last year, and since May 13 the increase has been 37 per cent. The demand for woolen goods is active for the season; common goods are firmer and some lines higher in price. The Fall River mills have voluntarily increased the wages 7 per cent. The boot and shoe factories are surprisingly busy for the season, the-shipments for the week exceeding last year's 9 per cent.

The bank of England made no advance in rates, and money here has been steady at 6 per cent. The circulation of all kinds increased $1,089,752 in October and is now over 1,605,000,000. This week the treasury has put out $600,000 more notes, while increasing its specie but Merchandise reports are improving ana the reports over imports is now large. Uncertainty Tuled during the weelj in the stock market but transactions have been very small and the average is scarcely an eighth higher than a week ago, speculating being mainly in the industrals and in New England in general. Nothing seems to foreshadow monetary difficulty, and with colder weatherand political uncertainty removed, a great business is anticipated.

The business failures occurring throughout the country during the past seven days as reported to R. G. Dun number for the United States 207 as compared with 233, for the corresponding week last year. AT LIBRARY HALL, The Lecture Given by Dr- J. T.

Edwards Last Evening-. The lecture by Dr. J. T. Edwards at Library hall last evening was well attended proving that our people are alive to the benefits of lectures of the nature of this one.

The local Chautauqua exerted the influence to bring the right class of people together the thinking people together and the impressions made by Dr. Edwards were of the kind that bis hearers would carry home. While it is true that much has no tangible and definite form in the minds of some of the hearers, as he stated his case with the average person's recollection of a lecture, we warrant that much good will comev of the combination of impressions and thoughts that were carried away. The audience was attentive and thoughtful and we may hope that Chautauqua ideas have taken a hold sure to benefit our community. The doctor spoke of the grand movement known as the Chautauqua movement.

Our men and women, differing from, men and women of past ages in having the literature, science and arts of our ancestors to work upon, it is their privilege to make use of these by reading of them and learning what they have done. The Chautauqua work stimulates the' habit of reading, and is one of the means for working out the raising of a higher plane of our people. The features of the union of the members of the different branches of Chautauqua in carrying on the same work, bringing about the feeling of co-operation, companionship and working to a common end were dwelt upon, and gave an idea of the benefits and how these benefits are strengthened. The different branches of Chautauqua work were set forth and what each branch consisted of. These branches are: (1) The "Assembly.

(2) The University Extension Lectures. 3) The Chautauqua En-tension Lectures. (4) The Circle Readings of Three Books. (3) The Regular Four Years Chatauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Reading Course. After the lecture a local Chautauqua board was organized to work up the interests of Chautauqua in our city and vicinity, and the question of the advisability of a county union of local circles was discussed, with the outcome of the appointment of a committee to bring the question before the various local circles, A Conductor Injured.
