A Boy Again.

Pain and sickness bring an old age with
fearful rapidity. They make an incessant
drain on the vital forces, and the weary steps
and faded cheeks of age often comes when
the enjoyment of life should be at its highest.
DR.. David Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy"
turns this kind of old age into youth again.
Headache, pains in the Limbs, troubles Of the
Liver, Bowels or Kidneys vanish before it,
and feeble men and women become like rol

number of thieves were arrested, but dur
ing the excitement their confederates re-
leased them. The police recaptured several
yesterday. Their friends threatened that
if they were not released by ten p. m. an
other confagratiOn would follow. They

sounded. The committee assembled, and
three disreputable saloons were found
open, filled with liquor-infiamed crowds.
The proprietors refused to close. The conf
mittee marched to the spot, and one saloon
keeper closed after some remonstrance.
The second refused and the place was
forcibly closed, and the owner obeyed an
order to leave town. The proprietor of the
third emphasized his refusal with a drawn
weapon. He was arrested and jailed. The
mob was arrested and dispersed. A number
of roughs were driven from the town. Con-
siderable stolen property was restored in
obedience to public proclamation threat
ening personal consequences. The town is
now quiet, and steps are being taken to

4 Volcano in Eruption in Central
America.
PANAMA, July 3.

PANAMA, July 3.
From the Star and Herald: The
volcano of Ometphe, Lake Mica
ragua, is in eruption. When the crater
first broke forth people fled to churches,
feeling the whole island would be de-
stroyed. The valley of the Atrato, in the
State of Cauca continues the center of vol
canic activity. At Rio Sucio, forty miles
from the Atlantic, the earth opened in
many places, throwing out very fine sand
in a heated state, whilst subterranean
noise was heard, resembling that
made by boiling water. At Turbo on
the gulf of Uruaba, the earth opened and
water issued, flooding the streets to depth
of two feet. Many houses were shaken
down. The small villages of Bujuies and
Nicurio were completely engulfed. The
mouth of the river Leon, which empties into
the Atlantic, is completely closed up, and
all over the district the movement of earth
is so continuous the inhabitants are emil
grating. A slight earthquake was felt at
Mompos, on the river Magdalena, in the
State of Bolivia, followed by a sharper one,
when shocks were also felt at San Salvador
and GQavaQuil.

The Crazy Freak Of g Cook.

HUDSON, MASS, July Q.
When her brother Patrick was found
guilty of drunkenness and fined in court
to-day, the wrath of Mary Driscoll, the fat
cook at the Mansion House, knew no
bounds. She hurled invectives and vitu-
peration at the Judge until, out Of patience,
he ordered her arrest. Mary is fifty
years DID, and would tip the scales
at 200 pounds. When the officers
started to arrest her she flew out of
the room down the stairs and up to the
Mansion House at O rate of speed which
would have caused Paul Revere to turn
pale with envy. Rushing to her room she
disrobed with the exception OF her short
clothes, and then suspended herself from
the third-story window, remaining in that
position until three men reached the win
dow and pulled her in by main force, with
out any aid from the mammoth female
gymnast. She was persuaded to accom-
pany the Office to the judicial laundry,
where she was fined nominal sum for
contempt of court.

CAIRo, III, July 9.
Mound City was the scene Of much ex.
element this morning over the lynching Of
Nelson Howard, colored, for the murder
of John Kane on the 4th inst. About two
O'Clock squad Of TWENTY-FIVE or thirty
masked men came up from the direction Of
Cairo on three hand-cars, and unloaded at
point just below Mound City. They broke
open the dollhouse of the Wabash Road
and took large spike hammer therefrom.
They then proceeded to the jail. Arriving
there, they awoke the jailer and demanded
the keys Of the cells. Being informed the
Sheriff had the keys, they ordered the
jailer to stand aside, and told him they
wanted no trihing; they came there to
lynch the negro. While some took care of
the jailer, others broke down the jail door
with the spike hammer. After gain
tine in an iron cell. the lock of
which they broke of. The negro
evidently understood the meaning of the
noise outside the jail, for he Immediately
set up piteous howl. He fought desper-
ately when they attempted to remove him,
He was dragged about fifty yards from the
Jail and swung to q limb Of tree by q
rope. 1t is thought he was dead even be-
fore he was lynched. A negro who was on
the lookout for trouble rang the school-house
bell for few minutes, but failed to call out
many people, for they had some apprehen-
sion of the trouble and did not care to take
part in it. The lynchers departed as ST.
iently as they came and left no clew as to
who they might be-. The negro was
cut down by the Sheriff, who arrived short
ly after the lynching.
HowARD's CRIME.
Howard killed John Kane, white man,
and, of course, general belief is that the
lynching party was composed of Kane's
friends. Kane was q bridge builder and
had been building an incline at Cairo.
Howard was railroad section hand, whose
home was at Grand Chain. If the men
had any previous acquaintance nobody
seems to be aware of the fact. They both
celebrated the Fourth in Cairo, and in the
evening of that day both got on the train
that left here at seven O'Clock on the
Wabash road for Mound City. They got
into an argument on the cars, and it grew
into a drunken quarrel. There was q
number of people in the car and con-
siderable talking and confusion, and it
seems nobody noticed these two were quar-
reling until Kane whipped out pistol. 1t
appears, however, he was too drunk to use
it. The negro sprang on him and wrenched
the weapon from his grasp, fired two shots
in quick succession, then sprang from the
train and escaped. The first bullet struck
Kane in the forehead, making a flesh
wound; the second entered his chest, pro-
ducing death in about an hour. After he
was shot it was discovered Kane had been
cut, the negro having evidently used the
knife before Kane drew his pistol. This
happened just as the train was entering
the depot at Mound City. Howard was
captured next morning and jailed at Mound
City until taken out this morning.
