Dayton feD.ll, 1910.
Mr.. ]. w. Whtmore:
! Dear Sir-Asy you are the regular authorized a.
gent in Dayton, for the sale OF s'Dr. Wistar's Bal
sam of Wild Cherry" take this method of ma
king statement of facts to you (Which hope
may be published to the worldly in reference to an
almost Miraculous cure, wrought in my case by
means of the above invaluable Balsam. Language
fails to describe the salutary effects it produced,
| and the great benefit derived from it.
The citizens OF Dayton and vicinity well recol-
lect that on the 9th of August last, received Sc
rious injury BY the explosion of cannon. Apor-
tion of its contents entered my right side and
breast! and in all probability some fragments or
spliners fthe ramrod passed through the plura,'
and pierced the lungs.
After the lapse OF about six weeks. l was at
tackled with distressing cough ard violent pain
in my right side. Some ten days after this, when
in paroxysim of coughing, suddenly an ulcer
broke, and large quantity Of veryLofensive mat.
ter mixed with blood, most of which found pas
sage through the opening of the wound. From
this opening there frequently passed quantity
fair, supposed to issue from the lungs. During
all this time my sufferings were most intolerable.
My physciane, meanwhile, ,paid the srictest at
tenton to me, and did all in their power formy
recovery. But with all their skill, they could not
reach the seat OF Distress l was visited during
this time by at least twenty Physicians.
1t was now reduced to certainty, that lnhama-
tion of the Lungs was rapidly taking place; and
that this would terminate my life in very short
time, was IN the highest degree probable.
At this critical stage messenger was des.
patched to Cincinnati, and a celebrated physician
Of that place was consulted. When he was made
acquainted with my situation, he remarked that
nothing could be done by medical aid, if the con-
stitution itself was not sufficient to throw of the
disease.

PINE AND WILD CHERRY.

Are trees of our soil, and are generally known
to possess even in the common way of preparation,
remarkable virtuesin the cure of disease of the
Lungs--how much more valuable then must q
highly concentrated preparation prove, when SC
combined with other articles as to act in harmony
with each other, and adapted to the various
forms and stages of the diseases is SO eminently
calculated to alleviate.
: The Balsans of Wild Cherry never fails to give
relief, and cures after every other means have
been tried in vain. This has been proven in
thousands of instances, where il had effected
radical cures, after the patient had been given
up by all his friends and physicians.

THE LETTER The following is The lcttei
Of Mr. +. Oh. SMITH, of Maine, about which
so much has been said in the Webster and
ingersol controversy: w
PoRTIANp, August IL, 1912
(pRIvATE)
DEAR SIR; suppose we may consider
our long disputed boundary now settled, and
the people of Maine feel that great credit is
due to your efforts in bringing forty years
dispute 10 close, feel grati6ed in the
result, from a conviction, Of many years
standing, that new mode of approaching
the subject, and such one as you have
adopted, would accomplish it, while another
forty years of circuitous diplomacy would
have availed nothing. S,
Considering the matter settled, ! presume
you can feel justified in enabling me to fulfil
certain assurances which made TO u few in
dividuals at different points in this State,
whose services and influence had occasion
to resort 10, in order to adjust the tone and
direction Of the party presses, and, through
them, of public sentiment, TO the purposes
so desirable Of accomplishment under your
administration: For my own services, you
can also make such allowance from the con-
tingent fund as you may deem proper, merely
remarking that all that was contemplated in
my original letters to YOU of May. ls4l, on
the subject, so far as Milne and the voice Of
the people are concerned. has been happily
realized. To the individuals alluded to
above, three in number, gave an assurance
S@,lat, in the event of settlement of the
boundary, they should be allowed a reason
able remuneration for their time and Incl
dental expenses; and Ishould like 10 be able
10 remit them 800 or $l25 each, if in my
power. Nevertheless, assumed no author
ity to bind your department in any official
manner on the subject, but the whole rests
in my confidential intercourse with them,
and | leave il, after stating the fact, wholly
at your discretion. presume the con-
a.s..e - =; e,nd will be ample, and your control
Y annle. 10 do owhatever you think Just.

with entire consent for you TO fill the blank
as you may deem proper And do it thus
seasonably, lest there be ground for the
nsn..sras | trust there is noD that you will

the State department.
10. believe thai, whether you
&C. Your present, or any other position
of the public service, my best wishes will

[For The Baltimore Clippet.I

The recent explosion of some FIVE or seven
tons of powder, at Beatty's powder works, by
which the lives Of five unfortunate victims were
sacrificed, and much damage done to the sur
rounding neighborhood, has caused tile inhab-
ltants to give to these works more consideration
than has heretofore been bestowed upon them,
and which the safety of the neghborhood and
the great public works contiguous to them i'm
peratively demand. We name the public
works, for had the cars been passing at the
time OF the explosion, nothing short of miracle
could have saved the passengers from utter de-
struction. There is belonging to this establish
ment Magazine, situate about one mile from
the mills which have ust exploded, and imme.
dately on county road, and in one of the
most thickly settled neighborhoods in the
county, containing at this time, near, if not
quite, tlco thousand Kegs Of poloder, which, if it
were to explode, would shatter every house for
five miles round, and probably destroy a NUM-
Der of valuable lives. Is it reasonable that we
should sit quietly down with this demon of de-
stiuction in our midst, and not raise our voices
against its continuance in any form? Certain
ly not; and feel assured, from the spirit now
aroused, the neighbors will rise in their
strength for the protection of their lives and
proPerty-and the object of tits communica-
ton is TO aPprise them particularly Of the dam
gers III their midst-which naturally suggests
the inquiry, do the courts of law or equity af-
ford no remedy! Equal RIGHTs.

E&rE 'IMENrs WITH GuN CorroN AT WASH
INGroN. The Union contains an official re-
port Of Capt. Mordccai, detailing the particu-
iars ID some interesting experiments with gun
cotton. In relation to his experiments with
mushet barrels, in order TO determine the i'm
Pcilant Pomt, whether gun cotton can be sale
iy USED when exposed to the ordinary acct
dents in the hands Of troops, Capt. M says:
For this purpose, | made use Of three IIar-
pers Ferry muskel barrels, Of the same kind as,
the one employed in proving the gun cotton
with the mn,ket pendulum, which appears to-
oc still unlJnred. Having determined, by my
experiments, that 60 gtains would be the pro-
per charge OF gun cotton to give the requisite
force TO the musket ball, made the following
luals:
LIST. A barrel was loaded with 100 grains of
gun cotton, occupying Il space of inches in
length, and with ball and wud-lt burst at
the breach.
I'd Another barrel was loaded with two
charges OF GO grains, balls and ! wad one on
top Of the other, if a soldier had Gas frequent
ly happens) loaded twice before firing; the
charge occupied altogether a height of 8
inches in the barrel. The barrel burst, losing
large piece, extending to the place Of the Sc
cond balI-the upper charge Of cotton, or a
great part OF 1t, was blown out at the side un-
burnt.
Sd. A third barrel was loaded with so grains
OF cotton, two balls and two wads, uCcupyinr
a height of three inches. At the first discharge,
the barrel appeared to be very little swelled at
the seat OF charge; it was again loaded in like
manner, when it burst.
These In rreIS had all hnrn, ,Lo Il
charge at the armory; they have some slight
de Iects, but they are Of recent make, and it is
believed quite equal to the greater part ofthose
in the hands of the troops.
When it is recolected that the proof charges
of gunpowder are:
list. $50 grains powder, ball of Ii to the
pound and wads.
I'd. 3lS grains powder, ball of Is to the
pound, and . wads.
And that musket barrel will bear without
injury, the explosion Of 8, or even car
lrldges, at time; further comment with regard
to the relative explosive force Of gunpowder
and gun-cotton, appears to be unnecessarily
/ Without modification Of this agent, or
great change IN firearms, the usc of gun
cotton for military purposes is not to be recon-
mcnded.
b. A 32-Poundcr shell, having brass fuza,
was loaded with two ounces of gun cotton, and
fired; it burst into many fragments.
6. To try the effect Of COMPRISING the cot
ton in small space, | stuffed about fifteen
grains oft into l2-poundcr fuze, (the cana
oil which is O.45 inch diameter and 8 inches
long,) pressing II in merely with the handle of
steel pen; it burnt for about seconds, with
bright flame, which was extinguished, how
ever, before the cotton was quite consumed,
the remainder burning like a slow match. A
fuse Of the same length filled with mealed pow
der burns 6 seconds

will be duly reported.

TRAGEDY IN MISSISSIPPI. The Port Glib
son, Miss, Herald, records the following ira
gedy, which came off near that place recently
An individual named John Catlen, having
given umbrage to the family of Abraham Kei.
ly, the latter individual, with four associates,
resolved to kill Catlen. He heard of their in
tentlons and threw up kind of breast-work of
earth and logs in the brick yard in which he
was at the time employed. In this he placed
some five or six rifles and shot guns, determn.
ed to make vigorous resistance. They, how
ever, managed to approach him unseen, and
rifle shot from man named Martin, struck
him in the neck. Though MORALLY wounded i,
he succeeded in reaching his breast-work, dis
tant some so yards, where he seized rifle, and
as he was falling, shot Martin in the face, in
feting severe and perhaps mortal wound. -
The others then rushed up, and fred five shots
into the dying mans body!
One OF the parties, man named Clawsen.
who formerly lived in this neighborhood has
been arrested; the others, with the exception of
Martin, who was wounded, are still at large.
