Continued in Philadelphia and a Hearing Obtained in Washington. Recently in Philadelphia in the United States circuit court, before Judge AcheSon, twenty-nine “hat- trimming cases were contined and by Special arrangement fixed for trial for the first Monday of June next. The plaintiffs are John Wanamaker, Meyer & Dickinson, Henry Tilge & Co., and Konn, Adler 8.: Co. It was said that there was involved in the controversy the refund of perhaps $20,000,000 upon an alleged unlawful assessment of duties in the importation of silk goods. Secretary Foster and Assistant Sec- retary Spaulding heard arguments at the Treasury department in favor of the liquidation of entries on hat-trim- mings, in accordance with the recent decision of the United States supreme court. The importers of this class of merchandise were represented by the following counsel: Joseph H. Choate Henry E. Tremain, Fred W. Hollis, Charles Curle, I. Augustus Stanwood, W. C. Wallace, and A. P. Ketchum. Several importers were present, includ- ing Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Schramm. of Philadelphia, and Mr. Gibbs, of New York. The importers assert that the refunds asked for will not aggregate more than $6,000,000, but it has been represented to the department that they will aggregate between $20,000,000 and $30.000,000. It is likely that there will be another hearing before any action is taken by the department. —-. —- —-~—« +>———— A Social Test. A frontier town has settled the social question in a novel manner.

' before it was finished. The Dog it was that Died. A little after twelve Sunday night, Officers Adams and Morehouse were wending their silent way up deserted Main street, when Adams’ quick eye caught sight of the lifeless body of a man lying at full length in the middle of the street. Loyal to his chief he at once ran up High street and rapped up DeForest, when the trio, thus re-inforc ed, solemnly trudged back to the spot where lay the body. On a closer in- spection, it was found to be the carcass of a huge, black Newfoundland dog. A rope was soon procured and DeFor- est attaching his club to the end, these guardians of the peace dragged the poor, defunct canine to the dock and rolled him into the briny waters, “Where Inud eels and eat fish On his body can riot. And flat fish and flounders Select him for diet." “—4-.- , Milllnery Opening. Mrs. W. Fawcett has removed from her old store on Water street, to NO. 17 Main street, and the DAILY GAZETTE re- porter took a look at the new quarters . The opening takes place this morning. to-day, to-morrow and Thursday, and those who go will see as pretty an ex- hibit as any to be found outside of New York. Mrs Fawcett and two of her as- sistants spent two weeks in New York at the openings there, and there isn’ta twist, a loop, a shade or a turn that they haven’t got down fine and a few extra touches along with them. We saw dreams of loveliness in gold and brown, in pale blue, in pale green, in black lace, in fact the tastefulness and beauty are unlimited. Mrs. Fawcettis. a little late in moving and in the open- ing, but the weather is all the finer for the ladies to enjoy it. <o>—»- ~ An attachment for $80, 000 w as placed on the Fairfield residence of G.

WASHINGTON, April 14.——F. P. Gregory, of Victoria, B. 0., is in Washington.’ He has been at Sitka collecting evidence in the Sayward case. Just before he left Victoria a schooner with an Indian crew came in with 1,300 seal skins, which sold for 315,000. All the sealing vessels are at work now along the west coast, and will be in Behr- ing sea shortly. The British government has not issued instructions to the sealing captains that the season is to be :1 closed one pending negotiations between the United States and Great Britain. Most 01 them would take chances if such instruc- tions had been issued. Mr. Gregory thinks seals are increasing in numbers. “DIED.
