public; or if lie will present such charges ID the
trustees of the cemetery we can assure him
they will promptly investigate and will redress

PROBABLE FATAL ACCIDENT Yesterday
morning as Mrs. Usher, an aged woman living
in an upstairs tenement on Oak near Congress
street, was engaged in hanging out clothes,
the platform on which she was standing gave
way and she fell to the ground, distance of
about ten feet. She was taken into the house
and DR.. Ring called, but it was impossible to
tell the extent of her injuries. 1t was feared
last night that she would not recover. The
timbers of the platform were SO rotten that it
seems strange that it held as long as it did.

badly injured. The gentemanIteld on to the

carriage was badly smashed and he had re.
ceiyed severe bruises.

suffering there is there. Many a man
has been taken while away from home,
and the poor fellow has crawled into
some hole where his body has been
found days after, twisted out of all
shape, and found only by the horrible
smell Of the lecaying flesh. A lumber
OF houses have been broken into, and
whole families have been found with the
bodies falling to pieces.
''One of the most horrible things that
occurred there was at the death of Mrs
Zonane. She lived on Jefferson street.
The doctor who attended her didn't let
her family know that it was the yellow
fever until just before she died. Then
ne told them, and the five children
ranging from 10 to 20 years old-came
to say good-by. She had the black
vomit, and they were told they had bet
ter not kiss her, but they did /; and, as
they came up one after another and gave
her the last kiss on earth, their lips were
stained with that horrible stream of
death. And, what is almost miracu-
lous, none Of them have caught the fe-
yer vet"

A Fearful Journey.

On the arrival of the 1:50 New York
express at the Great Western railway
here Tuesday morning the men engaged
In testing the car-wheels and running
gear of the cars were surprised to see a
man slowed away upon the trucks of one
OF the sleeping gears, position in which
it is as much as any ones life is worth to
ride even the shortest distance. The
policeman in charge of the station, Mr.
Farr, was informed of the circumstances,
and at once arrested and searched the
man, finding only 6 cents in money and
some papers on his person. On being
questioned as to his motive for placing
himself in such a dangerous position,
the man said his name was Lenex and
that he had been working in Emmett,
where he had received telegram in
forming him that his wife was lying at
the point of death in Buffalo. Monday
morning he left Emmett, paying his
fare to London, beyond which point his
money ran out. Being determined to
reach Buffalo somehow, and not know
ing of any means of doing the journey
SO quickly except by rail, he slowed
himself away on the truck under the
car, and there he had remained until
discovered at Hamilton. Let the reader,
if it is possible, form conception, the
faintest idea, Of the perils of such a
journey, and then it may be possible to
understand what the poor grief-stricken
German must have suffered. The dis
lance between London and Hamilton by
the Great Western railway is eighty-fve
and quarter miles, and the slightest
change of position ON Lenex's part or
the least obstruction on the track would
have launched the poor fellow into
eternity at once. And then think of the
agony he must have suffered from the
dust, sand and debris thrown up by the
swiftly flying train, and the great tension
OH the nerves and sinews by being COM
PEELED to maintain his hold on the truck.
The policeman said he would not risk a
journey of 100 yards in the position
Lenex was for the whole Great Western
railway, and where is there another who
would do SO for what is commonly called
"mere love ?"-Hana51toga (Ont) Spec

Does the World Move >

The Rev. John Jasper, of Virginia, says,
=" De sun do move, for in de mornin' it shines
on dig side oh de hous, Will in de ebenin, on
dat side OF de hous. Now, eff he don't move,
how come he dar?" Notwithstanding Mr..
Jasper's logic, we yet believe the soorld moves.
When MIR. Jasper's ideas constituted the pop
ular belief, people thought that to die of small
pox or cholera was simply fulfilling one of ma
lures laws. Now, through vaccination, small
pox is averted, while cholera, cholera morbus,
dysentery (iux),, and diarrhea are readily
cured by the use Of DR.. Pierce's Compound Ex-
tract of Smart-Weed. Does not such evidence
tend to prove that "the world moves?" AS an
external remedy for cuts, bruises sprains,
swellings, bites and stings Of insects, the Com
pound Extract of Smart-Weed has no equal.
Veterinary surgeons have also employed it with
marked success

Six years ago ice was such rarity in
London that extra charges were made at
the hotels if glass of ice water was
called for, and in most cases the guest
had to- wait until some could be sent
for. An Englishman at that time con-
sidered ice water unhealthy, and looked
with amazement at Americans who
persisted in calling for it, It was then
not kept at the taverns, as it was seldom
required. Now the walters 60 round at
the hotels with bowls of cracked ice,
and supply all the guests without extra
charge. That it is a recent innovation
is evident from the fact that all the drink
ing houses of any character have cards
extending across their windows, with
the word "Ice % emblazoned in large
black letters about fifteen inches long.
It is evidently paraded as an attraction
to customers. American whisky is also
a new card in their windows. Whilst
dining in a restaurant, the other day, a
young Englishman came in and called for
ga go" of American whisky. They
brought him about half tumblerful,
which he swallowed down raw. His red
nose and watery eyes gave evidence that
he was not a stranger to this kind of
drink Turning to the bill of fare we
found the following rates ga go = of
brandy, 1 shilling; ga half go" of
brandy, 6 pence; "a go" Of whisky, 6
pence; ga half go pJof whisky 8 pence;
ga go" Of gin, pence; anda "half
CO." pence. Gin is the favorite drink
of the topers, but Risky is commencing
to rival it. Ice wagons are also to be
seen on the streets, labeled Newfound-
| land ice. It lis of immense thickness,
ranging from fifteen to twenty inches,
and as clear as crystal. 20. G,F'ulton's

A Fish Story.

The pleasing picture of the Iowa
heroine, who had two pickerel under
harness, and was drawn up and down a
pond in beautiful little boat, was the
sweetest story ever clipped with an ex-
change EDITORS shears. But who shall
say that the ingenuity of the local chron-
icler has got to the end of it's tether and
devised the sweetest possible fish story !?
Here is the Whitehall Times, for in
stance, with romance of the queen of
the speckled beauties. A man has an
artificial trout pond with at least 5000
fish, each weighing from half pound
to two pounds, more or less. He also
has little girl, 5 years old, who has
succeeded in training the fish so that she
can go to the edge of the pond and, with
a handful of crumbs, feed them from her
chubby hand. They have learned to
jump out OF the water and snatch worms
from her fingers, and they are extremely
fond of their little mistress. One day
she lost her balance, and pitched head
long into the water where it was Deep.
She says that when she went "way
down" she called Justify for help. Her
cries quickly attracted her parents, and
they were Mortified at seeing the little
girl floating upon the surface of the
pond. The father rushed to the waters
edge and reached out for his pet, and,
as he raised her from the water, per-
fectly solid mass Of trout was found be-
meath her. These faithful subjects of
the little queen, as she fell, quickly
gathered beneath her, and thus showed
their love, for their mistress by bearing
up her body until aid arrived, thus pre-
venting her from meeting a watery
grave. --NeW York Tri6u,ae. ,f h..r

announcement for she Feeb,..

So long as the failing embers of vitality are
capable of being rekindled into warm and
genial glow, just so long there is hope for the
weak and emaciated invalid. Let him not,
therefore, despond, but derive encouragement
from this and from the further fact that there
is a restorative most potent in renewing the
dilapidated powers Of broken-down system
Yes, thanks to it's unexampled tonic virtues,
strength in the bodies and hope in the minds
OF the feeble and nervous. Appetite, refresh
ing sleep, the acquisition of flesh and color, are
blessings attendant upon the reparative pro-
cesses which this priceless invigorant speedily
initiates and carries to successful conclusion.
Digestion is restored, the blood fortified and
sustenance afforded to each DEMONSTRATING

to the feminine palate, vegetable in compo-
sition, and thoroughly safe. Use it, and re-
