MESsRs. J. c. AVER & Co.. Gentlemen:
Last winter | was troubled with most uncom-
Portable itching humor affecting more especially
nv limbs which itched ST. itolerahy ut night,
and burned so intensely that could scarcely bear
any clothing over them. ! was also sufferer
from severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor. and my system good deal run
down. Knowing the value of AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, by observation of many other eases, and
from personal use in former years. began taking
it for the above named disorders. My appetite
improved almost from the first dose. After
short time the fever and itching were allayed, and
all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared My
catarrh and cough were also cured by the same
means and my general health greatly improved,
until it is now excellent. ! feel hundred per
cent stronger and attribute these results to the
use of the SARSAPAKILLA, which j recommend
with all confidence as the best blood medicine
ever devised I took it i'm small doses three
times a day. and used. in all less than two bottles.
| place these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may do good
Yours respectfully, 2. p. WILLIS.
The above instance is but one of the many con
stantly coming to notice, which prove the per-
feet adaptability of AYERS SARsAPARILLA to
the of all diseases arising from impure or i'm
poverished blood. and weakened vitality.

THE FORGERY CASE.
How 1t was Operated in Bellaire on
saturday,

How 1t WAS Operated in Bellaire on
Saturday,
Speaking Of the forgery which has al
ready been mentioned, the Bellaire hie-
pendent says:
Another case of forgery was developed
in this city Saturday afternoon. Sprigg
Zane has been in the city several days.
Part of the time he boarded at the Central
Hotel, but he changed his boarding house
and went to the Globe Hotel, and remained
there for two days. On Friday he settled
up with Mr.. Morris, giving him check on
the First National Bank for SIS, signed by
NJ. y. Mercer Mr. Morris paid the fellow
Sll cash, keeping out 81 for two days
board On Saturday morning Mr. Morris
sent the check to the bank and one
of the boys paid it, but in the after
mon when Mr.. Kelly, the book keeper, was
making an entry of the checks he noticed
it at once, and sent it to Mr.. Mercer to see
if it was not forgery. 1t was. Mr.. Mer-
Ger didn't know Sprigg Zane; had never
seen the check before, and pronounced it a
forgery at once. The check was taken to
Mr.. Morris, who returned the bank its
money, and he is out $ll and two days
board. A telephone was sent to Zane's
brother in Wheeling, but he refused 10 act
in the matter, answering to let the law take
its course as they had several chez ks of the
same kind already on hands. Sprigg Zane
is non est conceivable. He skipped.

James Roberts, who was shot by the
Milligsn robbers, on Saturday night, is still
lying in a critical condition, in the care of
two physicians. The ball has not been
found end has apparently been DETECTED
by rib and taken an upward course. He
ale and slept yesterday, but fears OF the
worst are still entertained. Nothing has
been heard OF the assassins who did the
deed.
The Intelligencer and Journals accounts
Of this affair are very ludicrous, the latter
having evidently been stolen from the
former. They say Milligan was robbed of
SIS. They should read the REGISTER and
get the facts.
Joseph Miller, an employe at Spsnce's
works, had narrow escape from a horri-
BILE death. He was working at a shaft aud
his sleeve caught in the machinery. and
only the most superhuman efforts pre-
vented his being drawn in. de brace
himself, and by pulling of his sleeve saved
his life.
A heavy slip occurred on the c. & P. road
at Rush Run to day, and the trains were all
delayed from four 10 six hours.

THE SNOW FURRY,
Yesterdays Backward weather and
Its Probable Ending.

Yesterdays backward Weather and
Its Probable Ending.
Yesterday was not spring weather, in the
fullest sense of the term, and no one but
the fair owners of seal coats and no spring
bonnets could enjoy it. No doubt Old
Pfob. Myers, as he sat in his comfortable
Office in Washington smiled to learn the
yeritication of his VACCINATIONS but the
farmer, as he suspended his blowing and
planting, no doubt ruined his church
standing, as he gazed on the swirling flakes
of snow. The very leaves, with their fresh,
tender greenness, seems to curl up and
shiver, a, the icy crystals touched
them and the ,yagrant report
and sished for ulsters soaked and gloves
gone by. On the hills, within sight Of the
city, the snow.lay 70 depth OF 2 inches,
giving them very wintry aspect. Those
who claim to know say this furry will
work no injury to fruit unless ii is followed
by frost, which is highly improbable.
The barometer started on a rise last night,
indicating coming fair weather. Sergeant
Reid, of the signal Office at Pittsburgh, said
yesterday: "The present storm began in
Colorado several days ago and worked its
way down to Kansas. 1t was accompanied
by very heavy winds then and moved
slowly, slower than the Weather Bureau
expected. 1t followed up the Mississippi
valley and came slowly up the Ohio.
The first part Of it now is being felt
along the Atlantic coast from Washing
ton to Boston, 80 you see it has covered
good deal of ground. This morning it was
raining at Cincinnati, Columbus, Indisnap.
oils and Springfield. Here the wind is
northeast and is travelling at the rate of IL
miles an hour good wind for Pittsburgh.
The rainfall here has been about an inch
since the storm began, which is pretty
good considering that the year y rainfall is
less than 40 inches. Well, l think the
storm will clear off soon. The storm CEN
tire passed over here this morning, and the
barometer is rising all through the south
west, and it is clearing off there. In my
opinion the storm will break away during
the night, and to morrow will be fair

which is calculated to miSlead q great
many Of your readers with regard u the
Merchants Protective Association" of
this city. 1t says: Mccarthy and Nc
Combs, who were recently released from
custody, are working for the establishment
of Business Mems Protective Association
in this city. aud are meeting with consider
able success" Now, the Merchants Pro-
tective Association is being established in

more than considerable success" but Nc
Carthy and McCombs have no more to do
with il than the man in the moon. 1t is
formed and conducted entirely by the re-
tail merchants and no outsider has anything
to do with it. There are four branches of the
Association in this city all working in har
mony and extending from the Top mill 70
BOgg's run, and nearly every retail grocer
and many others are either members or
have declared their intention of becoming
such. There is also q branch in Be'lsre
and one forming in Benwood. All these
expect to be "amalgamatea" under one
head in q very short time. The Benefits
of such an association are apparent TO
every one, whether merchant or not, for all
know that under the laws nj this State re-
tsilers are fieeced numerically by uaprin.
Cipled customers and have no redress.
Therefore they have formed an association

Campbell's attention TO II several Tunes,
that gentleman promising eacn Tune
TO repair il, but had not oone

their side of the case TO the pubic; the
room was Immediately cleared and the
committee went into secret session. Just
What action was taken the reporter was I'M
able to fad out, as they. all must have
taken an ironclad oath before leaV-

case was before them, but what disposition
was made of it they would not state. The
city Solicitor, in answer to the query 6y
capt. Bennett, as to whether the case could
he carried to higher court or not, re-
sponded: Il do not think 1t can, under
erIstng circumstances, though have not
looked the new law up carefully" The
latter part of the remark was made In re.
ply to an opinion OF lawyer that was
present who was under the impression that
it could be appealed. Judging from the
above and the general tone OF the gentle
men comprising the Com mittee the re.
porter was OF the opinion that they had
decided to pay the judgment and costs.

A RASCALLH CRIME.
Two of the Elm Grove Street Car
Horses Killed by Broken Glass,


Horses Killed by Broken Glass,
Several days ago one Of the Elm Grove
railway horses died very suddenly. No
cause could be assigned for its death, as the
animal was apparently we'll and hearty
when taken out of the stable, but after
being driven short time dropped
dead. Sunday night another of their
horses died. His actions jus. before
death were similar to those OF
the other horse, which naturally caused
the officials to become suspicious and a
post norton examination of the horse was
made yesterday morning, but to no avail.
Nothing could be found that would show
the cause of the animals death. Tester-
day afternoon while cleaning out the feed
trough OF the horse that died Sunday night
a large quantity of broken glass was found
in the box which showed conclusively
what had killed the animal. The
Officials of the road are completely in the
dark in regard to who could stoop so low
as to kill dumb brute for the sake of re-
venge on the railroad or any OF its officials.
Wher person so degrades himself as to
kill the dumb animals belonging to a cor
poration for petty spite, it is time to either
tar and feather or drive him from the
State, as he is thing too low to associate
with the swine that run at large.
