in pharmacy. among which are the
genuine Honduras SarsaEarila. Yellow
Dock, Stillingia, and the Iodides of Potas-

1t is a highly concentrated medicine,
scientifically and honestly compounded so

AN OIL COUNTRY STORY.

Experience OF q Mau with q Load OF Miro
Iiyosriao whicn Did Not explode.
Scarcely week passes in the oil regions
that does not require the recording OF loss
Oflife or property by nitro glycerine explo.
sions, so susceptible is that explosive to
tho effect OF even slight jars or conclusions
in its transportation from place to place
and handling at the wells. SO susceptible
is IL, in TACT, that the experience
with load of the material which
is related by Harvey McHenry,
torpedo shooter in the employ of the Rob
erts company, seems almost incredible.
Wagons are made especially designed for
carrying nitro glyoerine over the rough
roads of the region, and MolIenry started
for Berger Hollow, in the Bradford dis
trict, with so quarts of the explosive in tin
cans on his wagon. The road through
Berger Hollow is one OF the worst in the
district, being narrow, rough, billy and
slippery. McHenry was driving care.
fully along, and while descending
very long and steep hill, on which
the wagon kept sliding from ono
side of tho road to the other, the
pole suddenly snapped in two, and the
wagon ran against the heels of the horses.
They Immediately started on run down
the hill. McHenry says that he could feel
hiB blood turn cold IN MS VEINS, knowing
as he did that much less disturbance to
cans OF nitro glycerine than the one to
which the jolting OF his wagon was sub
iecting those in his charge was in great
majority OF cases sufficient to explode
them but when no saw that collision
between the wagon and a tree that stood
by the roadside was inevitable, he closed
his eyes aud waited for the explosion from
which there now soomed to bo no possible
escape.
The wagon struck the tree, but to the
surprise and joy of the teamstor no explos
ion followed. Believing that such unex.
peoted aud unprecedented good fortune az
that could not possibly continue, MoHenry
resolved to jump from tho nitro-glycerine
magazine as IL was carried flying down
the hill. He jumped, and striking against
a troe, dislocated one knee and injured his
spine. The wagon had gone but a few
foet when to tho horror Of the helpless
teamster, II was overturned. Still, for
some unaccountable reason tho nitro gly.
cerine did not explode The horses fell TO
the ground, and, in their efforts to regain
and keep on their feet, they dragged the
wagon until II was overturned four times

tion was sent from this city yesterday to
Philadelphia that the body might be that
o. Samuel Kegerise, a married man of
Reinhold's station, this county, who loft
his homo ten days ago, taking $40 with
him. The description of the murdered
man tallies with that of Kegerise, even to
q dis6gured finger which has a peculiar
mark. A brother in law Of Kegerise went
to Philadelphia to investigate the matter
and thus far nothing has been heard from
him in reference to his quest.
1t Is scarcely probable. however, that
the body found in Hanwelps dam IL that
of Kcgerise, tor the reason that the latter
has been missing only ton days, while all
the physicians agroe that the body must
have been in tho water much longer

A rum0r that the body was that of an

Schuylkill Valley railroad is disproved by
the fact that the alleged murdered man Is
