DR.. s. Calvert Ford, the newly-apIointed IL

tenth street, reports that on Saturday after
noon, about O'Clock, his shsp boy suddenly, and
during his absence, disappeared, leaving the door
open. Books and papers were left exposed, and
there were other evidences that II was a clear
case Of abduction. Upon partial investigation
Mr.. Curry aSeertained that the boy was bounced
upon by some strange man hsiling from Balti-
more, drugRed and driven rapidly to the depot,
placed on the cars and hurried of. Mr.. Curry
suspects certain parties with having something
to do with the plot, and unless full explanations

NEW YORK PEPUBLICANg.

The New York Republican Association met
Saturday night at Armory hall. Mr.. W. Q.
Stone, chairman Of the campaign committee, re-
ported that reduced transportation had been
secured over the Northern Central railroad and
to New York city, tickets good for fifteen days;
that about 200, 900 campaign documents had been
sent into the State at great expense to the assO-
citation. Reports from the State indicated the
reelection Of Gov. Dix by large majority, and
the noticeable fact was presented that the people
were alive to the importance of returning intact
the Republican Congressional delegation. Upon
motion of Mr.. CrOughly the entire funds Of the
association were appropriated for the purpose Of
sending home voters. Messrs. S. g. Hanson, T.
N Tryon and b. H. West were elected active
members Of the association. Upon motion of DR..
Halves the president was requested to issue cir
cular to the members Of the association, urging
all to 20 home to the election. The association

PROPOSED RLCFC

1t has been suggested by a number of gentle
men that as finale Of the successful races OF the
fall season at BrightWood Park the associa-
ton take the necessary steps to secure one days
running. This sport used to be exceedingly popu-
lar in this section in the olden time and would to-
day meet with favor. There are a number Of ami
mails owned in this District and adjoining coun-
ties which could compete at a short notice. Sup
pose these races were to be held on the same day,
say half mile dash, mile dash, and two mile dash.
A good field could be secured for all three, and
it would certainly be patroniZed.

gratifed to learn that he is recovering from his
recent indisposition. A representative of The
REPUBLICAN called at his residence last evening
to make inquiry concerning HIS health, with the
above result. twill be remembered by oar read
ers that during the early part of last month this
eminent divine preached the thirty-ffth annual
discourse, q synopsis Of which appeared in this
paper, and yesterday being the frst communion
Sabbath OF the thirty sixth year of his pastoral
relations It was looked forward to with great in
terest by him and his congregation, but his indis-
position compelled the service to be rendered
without HIS long accustomed presence. 1t is q
notable fact that during this long life OF service
70 the Master in this city this is the only CON-
muniOn service which was rendered to the COM
municants OF his church without his presence, and
II was ieelingly alluded to in appropriate terms
py the associate pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Kelly.

A BUILDING ONLY FIT TO BURN.
Last evening about 9 O'Clock, whilst Sergeant
Vernon, StatiOn-keoper McCathran ard two rep
resentatives OF the press were cOnVersing in the
ONCE Of the Central guard-house, temporary
excitement was OccssiOned by the cry Of Fire
which came from the dodgers cell a. the lower
end OF the corridor. On Fastening into the pas
sageWay a large blaze was seen on the outside Of
the building, in the back yard and rising above
the hall window. The party fastened into the
yard. Sergeant Vernon Selling bucket Of water
while rushing down the corridor, and dashed the
contents on the flames, which checked them to a
considerable extent, and they were quickly after
eXtiDgUished. 1t was found that the IRE was
caused by the partial burning Of large dry
good box, which caught from greasy rags that
ignited from the throwing Of live Goals upon them
by the janitOr Of the station after cleaning out the
stoves. ThereWas not much danger Of he-station
being destroyed, and even if it had there would
have been no loss except to the officers who
had clothing in their sleeping apartments. The
filthy and obnoxious place has been an eye-sOre
TO the community for some time past, and if 1t
SHOULD fortunately burn down without any bodily
harm accompanying Il many citizens would re-

WHAT CAPITALNOTLYG ME4NS


"Olivia" writes from this city to the Philadel-
phIa Press: With the transfer of the army head
quarters to st. Louis a fresh capital-moving
zephyr seems to gambol and play, But the seat
of Government nno more be wrenched from the
shores Of the Potomac than a star can be torn
from the Milky Way. No tribe of barbarians
will come from the Western Wilds destitute of
honor, bereft Of patriotism, and vote for the
destruction Of Washington. All we have Of his
tory, tradition and glory centres at this spot, and
the best blood Of the land was poured out like
On the hillside sleep our Boys in Blue, with
ashen lips and dusty eyes, but their skeletons
would awake to smite the vRndal soul that would
seek by peaceful means to undo the mission for
which they laid down their lives. Capital-moving
means all the horrors Of intestine war for when
the bat flies and the reptile crawls in the deserted
corridors of the Capitol the great American Re
public will be no more.

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA WEED TONIC,
SCHENCK's MANDRAKE Pills,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death of the patient; they lock
up the liver, stop the circulation OF the blood,
hemorrhage follows, and, in fact, they clog the
action of the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
of two thirds of the cases Of Consumption. Many
persons complain Of a dull pain in the side, con-
stipatf0n, coated tongue, pain In the shoulder
blade feelings Of droWsness and restlessness, the
food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied
with acidity and belching up Of wind
dered condition Of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons SO affected, If they take one or two
suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver
clOgged, remaining torpid and inactive, and
almost before they are aware the lungs are
mass Of sores. and liberated, the result Of which
schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain opium or anything ealcu-
lated to check cough suddenly.
Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juices Of the stomach, aids
digestion and creates ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin sallOw, or
the symptoms otherwise Of bilious tendency,
Schenck,s Mandrake Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared only by
NE. cor. Sixth and Arch sts, Philadelphia.
And are for sale by all druggists and dealers.
SOUR STOMACH.
If the food taken into the stomach is not d.
gested it decomposes. In the latter case pun
gent gas is developed which causes sour eructa-
lions, or else the stomach itself secrets acid,
which, rising upward at intervals, stings the gull
let sharply. These extremely disagreeable SEN
satOns are attributable to impaired digestion. To
get rid Of them, or prevent their recurrence, it
is only necessary to tone and regulate the gas
trio organs with HOstetter's Bitters. 1t will not
answer to pospone the great corrective with the
idea that the unpleasant symptoms will disap-
pear of themselves. So far from that being the
case, they almost invariably eliminate, If ne
elected, in chronic dyspepsia, with its eoncOmi-
tants of gnaWinR in the stomach, dizziness, per-
verted vision, headache and sleeplessness. It is
true that all these disagreeables may be Obviated
by a course of the Bitters; but how much wiser to
anticipate their arrival with one or two doses Of
that sure preventive of indigestion.

circular towers must have been thirty to fifty feet

of them had thick double wall, with a space i've
