POROUS PLASTERS.
WORTHY OF NOTICE.

THERE are thousands who, were it not from

nostrums and vile compounds, yet in the cate
CORY OF medicines, many that are advertised
possess real merit
BENsoE's CAPCIEE Porous PLASTER is with
out doubt an honest remedy, and can in no

The Continental Life.Insurance Failure.

INVESTIGATION into the affairs of
the Continental Reinsurance Cempa.
ny reveals some scandulous malprac-
tice in its management. A former at
torney for the Loaners' Bank makes
public the discreditable fact that for
years the Continental had been, with
the help of the President of the Loan
ers' Bank, returning false cash balan-
ces in it's annual sworn reports. It
was done in this way: A deposit was
made with the bank of worthless
checks and drafts, which were credit
ed on their bank. book as cash. This
credit was then included in the state.
ment of their assets, and Immediately
thereafter the worthless deposit was
checked out, the check being paid in
the same drafts and papers that were
deposited. The building erected by
the Company was a piece of almost
wanton extravaganza, its cost amount
ing to $3.50, 000,- more than one.e;ghth
of the total assets of the Company. In
their last statement, the Company, in.
stead of admitting the depreciation,
falsely stated that the market value
was 1888, 912 over cost. The Compa.
ny's expenditures last year were $l72,.
O85 over their income. The Insurance
Superintendent Of California, in his
latest report, charged that the agents
Of the Continental in California were
hetraying the policy.holders by Undue.
ing them to surrender their policies or
let them lapse. The system of State
inspection that could overlook or per-
NIT such abuses is mockery, or some.
thing still worse. Life. Insurance CON-
panies are used by great many per.
sons as saving banks. The failure of
the Continental entails the same kind
of losses and suffering to the same
kind of people as that of any of the
New York savings banks that have re-

Terrible Railroad Accident.

= X VeJt1DIO H4lIxO0O AcCl0o0t.
A fearful accident on the Delaware,
L.enwsnna 1 Western railway, occurred At
small station known q Lehigh Summit, on
the Psconosno mountains, twenty miles from
Scranton. y The regular evening train to Ne"
York and Philadelphia, consisting OF seven
tenn coaches, drawn by three engines, had
about l 100 passengers on board, principally
bound for the Centennial exhibition. The
train, il appears was two hours behind time,
and reaching summit shortly after o'clock,
stopped to take water from the tank. While
there heavy coal train, drawn by three en-
gines, ran into the rear Of the passenger
train, telescoping two Of the cars through and
through and breaking five others. The scenes
that ensued were heartrending, although, by
most miraculous circumstance, the number
Of killed were but. few. In all nine killed
outright and twenty-five severely injured.
The wounded were conveyed to the Goulds-
boro Hotel, where corps Of surgeons from
Scranton attended: Mr.. Seymour, Mr.. Gray,
Mn. Dowall and Mrs. Pierce, are not expected
to recover. A passenger car caught fire in
the wreck and was consumed on the track.
The dead were conveyed to Scranton. This
morning at ? o'clock the passengers on the
wrecked train were transferred to = special
train and proceeded on their journey. At
midnight the scenes and incidents connect
ed with the collision were described as heart
rending In the extreme.

fearful rain stern which took place in that
region, commencing Saturday morning and
lasting till daylight Monday morning. The
rain vvas = perfect flood, the water not pour

water having poured upon the town until
half the place was flooded. Water rose as

but little. In addition to the destruction OF
household goods, barns, stables, etc, large
lots Of cattle, horses, hogs and other animals
were drowned. Lost River is extraordinarily
high. The bridge over this river between
Orleans and Paoli is swept away. This was
the bridge on which Packard and Lungett
