suspicious-looking negro whom he be¬lieved to be a chicken thief on whosetracks he had been for several days.He called to the negro to halt, but thelatter paid no attention t«> the summonsand made it apparent to the officer heintended to escape. The Lieutenant. :

finding lie could not catch the man.

drew his pistol and fired twice downAlfred street at lite retreating figure,One of the bullets entered Mr. Die-nelt's drug store, on tho southeastcorner ofKing and Alfred streets andburied itself in the wall. The proprie¬tor had but u moment before turnedaway from a position which had placedhim in a direct line with tho course oftho bullet. Lieutenant Smith says hefired his pistol to scare the man amiwith no intention of striking him, butfailed -to elevate the weapon high jenough to prevent danger to peoplesome distance away. Theallair causedsome excitement in the neighborhoodat the time. The suspicious characteiwho occasioned it all vanished in somedirection.

REMNANT DAY-H>-

REMNANTS in every department.REM¬NANTS on every floor.REMNANTS have"undisputed sway" every Friday, rain or

shine, from 8 a. m. to 0 p. m. These remnantaccumulations have now assumed such gigant¬ic proportions that au entire week'sgatheriug,requires all our thought aud energy and ac¬

tion. We have learned how to accomplishthis. It is seldom that a remnant made one

week is carried into the next week.

What a Remnant Sale Is.If when shewing merchandise the sale per

son happens upon Stationery, Face Powder,or other "boxed"goods the boxes of which are

crushed or broken.Bottled Goods, Colognes.Toilet Waters, «xo., the stoppers of which are

broken oj the labels missing.anything thatsoiled, marred, scratched, or otherwise defaced.(and there's always more or less of suchthiug* iu a mammoth stock like ours), he or

she Immediately withdraws things of thischaracter. Then early in the mornings andlate in the evenings, each stock is ransackedand relieved of its remainders, Cioaks. Jack¬ets, Suits. Underwear, iSe. of their ''odds andends" a,ud extreme sizes.Silks. Linens. DressStuns, Ribbons, Laces, Upholstery Goods. &c.iof their "short lengths".Gloves. Hosiery, &<...of the "broken lines of sizes".Shoes, Corsets,lie, of their odd sizes.in fact the "left overs"of everything, for they uro all remnants evenif they havo no.t been out oil'.So on Friday morning we overhaul, assort,

and mark them at prices that give them a

double-quick motion and rid us of their pres¬ent*. THAT IS OUR REMNANT STORY.Oar systematicplanningbrings them and pub¬lic appreciation meetsthem halfway, There¬fore, first and alxjve all else. »V:day is our

Remnant Day. Other things, of course, what¬ever you wish, hut Renmants here, there, audeverywhere, on center tables, marked withthe original and redneed price, which, inmany iusuuice*, la less than half.
