Mr.. J.. HI. Anderson Narrowly Es-
capes Instant Death.


At about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
there was widespread excitement about
town, over the news that Mr.. J. H. Alder
son had been caved on and was severely, If
not fatally injured. Crowds Of people col
lected in the vicinity of Mr.. Alderson's
residence. ON Paul street. The SENTINEL
is glad to be able to state that the injuries,
though severe, are not so serious as were
at first supposed, and reported.
The circumstance Of the accident are as
follows: Mr.. Anderson wa excavating for
an addition to his house. He had graded
back in the rear, leaving . bank nearly 20
feet high. He was being assisted in the
work by Mr.. Fred Talcott. The latter was
above and Mr.. Anderson below the bank.
Suddenly, and without any previous warm
ing, the bank caved, covering the whole Of
Mr.. Alderson's body, with the exception Of
his face. He was badly jammed and
bruised, and for a time it was thought that
he could not survive. Drs. Thoma and
Williams were sent for, who, on their ar
rival, applied the necessary restoratives.
At latest accounts, last night. Mr.. Alder
son was resting comparatively easy, only
appearing q little confused in mind at
times, due perhaps to the severity Of the
shock caused by the conclusion. No bones
are broken, and unless injured internally,
his physicians are sanguine that he will
come out all right in a few days. 1t was,
most certainly, q very narrow escape from
instant death.
Mr.. Talcott got off with : severe wrench
Of the spinal cord. He win probably not
be laid up.

MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
. SPECIFIC for Typhoid Fever.


According to an item now going the
rounds Of the press, a specific has been dis
covered for that dreadful disease, typhoid
fever. The cure is so simple that anybody
can administer it, and no harm can result
from it. The remedy was discovered by DIR.
Guillasse, Of the French navy, who, in .
recent paper on typhoid fever, says: Cot
fee has given us unhoped for satisfaction /;
after having dispensed it, we find, to u
great surprise, that its action is as prompt
as 1t is decisive. No sooner rave our pa
tients taken a few table spoonfuls Of it
than their features become relaxed, and
they come to their senses. The next day
the improvement is such that we are tempt
ed to look upon coffee as a specific against
typhoid lever. Under its influence the
stupor is dispelled, and the patient rouses
from the state Of somnolency in which he
has been since the invasion Of the disease.
Soon all the functions take their natural
course, and he enters upon convalescence."
DR.. Guillasse gives to adults two or three
table ~spoonfuls of strong black coffee every
two hours, alternating with one or two tea
s%poonfuls of claret or burgundy wine. A
little lemonade or citrate Of magnesia
should be taken daily, and after awhile
quinine. From the fact that malaise and
cerebral symptoms appear first, the doctor
regards typhoid fever as a nervous disease,
and the coffee acting ON the nerves is pecu-
liarly indicated in the early stages, before
local complications arise.

The Road Locomotive.

The Reno Gazette has the following rela-
tive to the road locomotive, which lately
arrived at Wadsworth, to compete with
mules in the freighting business. Says the
Gazette: "The following are the particu-
lars Of construction and the dimensions OF
the road locomotives, one of which has
already arrived there: The engines weigh
about seven tons each, and are rated from
twelve to fourteen horse power. They
have horizontal boilers, which are fitted
with large fire boxes for burning almost
any description of fuel, and water tanks are
affixed capable of holding o supply for
three or four hours. The engines are so
arranged that they can be used for turning
fixed machinery. The driving wheels are
seven feet in diameter and twelve inches in
width, and the steering or front wheels are
four feet in diameter and nine inches wide.
An important advantage in the road loco
motive is that in case Of need the road
wheels can be replaced by the ordinary
fiange wheels for running on rails"
