During the delivery of the speech some
persons of both sexes engaged in carrying

A Misunderstanding Malady.

That insomnia, or inability to sleep, has become
very prevalent of late years, is sulicie ntly evi.
denced by the fact that numberless remedies have
been introduced within the last decade specially
intended for its cure, and that new sedatives are
continually cropping up. But no medicinal agent
has SO widely and clearly established its claims as
a genuine soporihc as Hostetter's stomach Btters.
That 1t removes this misunderstanding inability iar
more enectuaily than the bromides, chlOrals and
valerianates in use, is not TO be wondered at when
we consider that such drugs act only on the brain
which ia not the source OF the evil, while the Bit
ters rectify the alimentary disturbances which
originate it, II is admitted by physicians that dys-
pepsia and REPRESENTATION OF the food produce
chromosomes The Blters overcome these obsta-
eles to repose as well as those urinary troubles
which are also said to interfere with IL. A wine

Sad Drowning Accident.
Alfred NJ. Wells, son Of Mr.. Horace L. Wells
of this city, was drowned yesterday afternoon be-
tween five and six o'clock. He was pupil at the
Grammar School and was in attendance at the af-
ternoon session. After school, in company with
seven or eight other boys, he went to Wymans
mill pond, for the purpose Of bathing The place
selected was in the pond just at the south end of
the factory, a most dangerous place, with precir-
tous banks. Five years ago little son Of Nj.
IIolbrook was drowned at this place, and other
boys have had very narrow escapes. The first
appearance of anything wrong that attracted the
attention Of the workmen at the mill, was suit
of clothes that remained near the bank of the
pond that did not appear to belong TO any of the
boys there. This was at twenty minutes of sIX,
and the inquiry was made if any one was drown
ing. The answer was, that one Of the boys
in the water "fooling." Some little time after
this, it was announced that Wells was in the pond,
and Ethel Jones and John Welch, two workmeu
at the mill, dove for him, but they were unable to
rescue him. Then the people began to arrive
from down street, the boys having given the
alarm in that direction. The boys were probably
not aware Of their companions perilous condition,
as they would have sought some means to alarm
the workmen at the mill. VIII Kinsman and
Thomas McGraw dove for the body, but were un-
able to secure it. Grapncls and net were pro-
cured, and the body of the unfortunate boy was
recovered after it had been in the water about
hour.
The deceased was fifteen years Of age. Ills
mother died last winter, and he has older
brother living. This new affection comes with
terrible and almost oyerpowering snddenness TO
Mr.. Wells, who will have in this dark hour the
sympathy Of many sincere friends.
