 Perhaps no real medicine ever gained the rapid popularity which Caatoria has done. One person relates their experi- ence of it's good effects to another. It is vegetable preparation. perfectly harm less, pleasant to take; does not distress or gripe, but regulates the system, and is sure to operate when all other remedies have failed. Any person who has ever used Castoris for Stomach Ache, Consti- patton, Group, FlatulenCy, Worms, Piles, or deranged Liver, will never again use nauseating Oil, Bitter Pills, or Narcotic Syrups The Castoria contains neither Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol By it's soothing, quieting effect it produces nat ural sleep and is particularly adapted to crying and teething children. It costs but 35 cents, and one bottle will save many dollars in doctors bills. 22Aw
 Blessings brighten as they take their flight. The chief of blessings is good health, without which nothing is worth the having; it is always appreciated at its true value after it is lost, but, too often, not before. Live properly. and correct ailments before they become seated. For diseases of the liver, kidneys, skin, stom- ach, and all arising from impure or feeble blood, Dr. Walkers California Vinegar Bitters are sure and speedy remedy. It has never yet failed in single instance. -.e. 20 4w

Terrible Accident to a Bride.

NEW YORK, June 23 On Thursday
evening there was smash-up on the New
Jersey Railroad near Metuchen Six or
seven passenger coaches We're piled one
upon the other On the train were a
Danish nobeman and his newly-made
bride. They were married in Denmark a
month ago, and We're visiting America on
their bridal tour. They were chatting
quietly until the crash came and the lights
ing himself uninjured, began searching
for his bride. She was found unconscious
beneath some rubbish One of her arms
was as clearly severed from the trunk as
though it had been amputated. The
flesh was not mangled, and even the
sleeve of her silk robe was cut as with
a sharp instrument. She was borne into
on adjoining building, where, recover
ing consciousness, she suffered intensely
during the remainder of the night Mean
while the husband bethought that on the
third finger of the missing member was
her diamond wedding ring, valued at hun
dreds of dollars. Incautiously the fact
was openly proclaimed and search inst-
tuted. After time one of the train hands
was seen attempting to secrete something
under his coat When the man was ap-
preached the ann was thrown to the
ground. and the nobleman raising it re-
moved the precious jewel. The lady was
conveyed to Newark, whore she will re-
main until sufficiently recovered to resume
her journey.

Boiler Explosion.

COLUMBUS, ONO, June II The Ohio
brush and wire works are attached to the
Penitentiary and the convicts We're Just
going to work when the explosion occur
red. The flying boiler tore out large
three story building in which it was placed,
making mass of ruins, and tore out the
side walls, and the root off of Huff Coop
er's shop, and George Gill's stove foundry
not far of. Pieces of the boiler We're
thrown a great distance. AT the time Of
the accident, eight men were in the brush
shop, and were ust going to work. The
shock was terrific land yet no person was
killed outright. Several men were blown
out of windows and fell with the debris
from the fourth story OF the building. One
man at work in the lower story of the boil
Ell house, remained for thirty minutes be-
tween two heavy timbers. The fireman
and engineer in charge of the boiler, were
both buried under a pile of bricks and tim
bers, but were dug out alive, though
considerably burned and bruised. Some
OF the escapes were almost miraculous
AS soon as possible large force was put
to work, and the men that were buried I'M
der the ruins were all dug out, and with
the others wounded were taken to the
prison hospital where scores Of good nurses
were on hand, and they are now we'll car
ed for OF the injured by the explosion,
it is thought that all but half a dozen will
recover.
The engineer in charge of the boiler
says he cannot account for the accident,
as a second before the explosion occurred,
he had on about IS pounds of steam. One
end Of the same boiler exploded about a
year ago and has leaked ever since. Loss,
about $50, 900.

A Story of Two congressman

Butler has been characterized as the
American Nidocq, because he always calls
in the aid OF a detective to assist in the
destruction of his victims. He under
stands the business, and in general he eX-
ecutes it well. But Farnsworth got ahead
Of him Just once-though, as the sequel
will show, his triumph did not last, for
the reason that the house in which he lived
was quite us CLASSY in It's construction as
Mr.. Buffers. While the personal feud
was at ITS highest, Mr.. Farnsworth hap
pened to hear of small child somewhere
in New England who So nearly resembled
the Massachusetts member that you would
think it was that identical gentleman seen
through the wrong end OF the opera glass.
Forehead, face and Srabismus were all
INSTRUMENTATION strong as proof of
Holy Writ that b. F. B. was in part re-
SpOnslble for the existence OF that little
citizen, whose name was not Butler
Farnsworth smelt sweet revenge in this :;
sent to New England for "A Photographic
likeness OF the little one, and put it in his
pocket to produce ii as a clmcher in some
future denunciation of Butler in the House
He gave Butler to understand, through a
friend, what was in store for him, and
thought he had effectually spiked the guns
Of the Massachusetts member. SO he had
for time. But b. F. b. is not the man
10 let any body be ahead of him very
long. He Immediately began to inquire
what were Mr.. Farnsworth's WAYS of lite
al the Capital. He was not long in ascer-
tanning that Mr.. F. had "A female friend in
the Treasury Department, and that be-
tween the twain the relations were not of
tie purest God had not joined them to-
gether, and yet they were very seldom
asunder except IN the daytime. Here
was chance for Butler, and | need not
say that he fully availed himself Of it. His
first point was to get the ''lady' dscharg-
ed from the Treasury Department. This
was not difficult. Farnsworth was away
from Washington at the time, and could
not well come to her relief She became
impecunious, and thus fell still closer into
Batler's net. Benjamin's detective watch
ed her, put himself into communication
with her landlord and the sequel was that
her trunk was sold to liquidale her board
biz; Buffers agent bought it, and Butler
is to-day the happy possessor of a large
and varied assortment of letters from
Famsworth to his ''friend." Thus each
stands armed against the other | have
described the weapons of the conflict, and
leave it to the readers own task to char
actenze the warfare. The existing truce
between the two is not a peace, but a
cessation of hostiities born OF mutual
knowledge and mutual fear. Should the
war be renewed again in the House, it
will be interesting, ii not instructive, will
it not

Belfast Police Court.
BEFORE JUDGE JOHNSON,


On Saturday, young man, Is years old, APP
piled at the Sanborn House for lodging, saying
he had no money. The landlord gave him lodg-
ing and breakfast but he did not seem to appre-
ciate this Good Samaritan treatment as he
pocketed Mr.. Sanborn's watch before leaving.
Then he pursued his way into the neighboring
town OF Swanvie, where he entered the house
of Abram kmball, and took another watch
And still, being like procrastination, the thief
of time, he took the watch of Daniel Billings
from his peaceful home. Mr.. B. pursued and
overlook the young man, found the watches,
and detained the criminal. He gave his name
first as Patrick WEIGH. then as Morris Laugh
ton; said his father lived at Newport, r. L.,
where he owned house, and would help him.
But telegram thither brought the reply that
no such name was known, and no such num-
Der of the street as he gave existed. So the
young man was committed to Jail, where he
disturbed the neighborhood with his cries and
lamentations over his hard fate.

now offered without finding takers.
A member of the Fifth avenue confer

man was present who had documentary
evidence that Grant and members of his
family had received money for the be-
