A Milwaukee special OF the 29th says:
The thirty-seeond annual meeting OF the
American Pharmaceutical Association came
90 an end to-day. W. ii. Atwood, OF New
York, WAS chosen chairman OF the Entsi-
tsinment Committee, with authority to Sc
lect the other members 81 the committee.
George w. Kennedy. OF Pottsyille, Pa,
read paper on the adulteraton OF
cream OF tartar. He stated that OF
fourteen samples obtained in drugstores
only one was adulterated. while OF the
same number OF samples obtained in gro
cery-stores seven were mixed with cheap
adulterants. DR.. Meniuger read paper
on quinine, which had been prepared by
Henry T.. Parsons, OF New York, who was
prevented by illness from reading 1t him
self. The article gave the result OF an eX-
tended investigation into the sources OF
moisture in the commercial preparations
OF the drug. Henry Broth. OF Chicago,
read a paper on cases OF poisoning arising
from blunders by prescrlptiOn-clerSs. \
number Of other interesting papers were
read.
Henry Broth, Of Chicago. laid before the
Association several bottles OF a preparation
called "pepsan," which he believed to be
OF historical interest. The preparation, he
said, was put up in 1853 by one Eben Owen,
Of Chautaqua cOunty,,,N. Y. Owen lived the
life OF hermit. and was regarded by his
neighbors as crank. He was generally
spoken Of as Cray Owen" When he
died his cabin was found to contain several
packing cases filed with bottles Of the pre-
paration which he called .pepsan,' and
which he had put up himself. Accompany
ing the stuffwere printed circulars quantity
worded as follows:
"Pepsan. for the cure Of dyspepsia,

Mr.. Broth ssAicd that the so-callsd
| "pepsan" was what IL now known as
"pepsin," and intlmated that the valuable
aid TO digestion now known and used by

DIED At THEIR POSTS.
An Engineer and Fireman of the b. d n.
Lose Their Lfces.

Omaha Herald, LIST.
Switch engine No. Sc, on the B. & M.
railway, was thrown from the river track UNI
der the Union Pacific bridge last night by q
turned switch, and It's engineer ard fireman
were caught in the wreck. The engine was
running down from the B. g. NJ freight yard,
pushing two box cars and drawing Two. The
cars ahead broke loose, when the engine went
of and they ran down the track several yards
and jumped off. The engine ratified over the
ties for six car lengths after passing the switch
and then suddenly headed toward the river
and plunged up to its axles in the clay along
the banks, just clearing the track as it went
off. The tank was dragged off the rails, but
did not leave the track-bed, and a corner
crashed into the cab of the locomotive and
against the fireman and engineer, pinning the
men against the boiler head A gauge broke
and flooded the cab with steam, and threatened
to scald the driver and stoker past help.
The brakeman on the train emerged from the
wreck uuhurt and came quickly to the relief OF
the two engine men. Blankets were brought
and put over the broken guage in an effort to
stop the stream of steam, which was partly eff
fected. The whistle and steam dome were
opened and all steam possible was blown off.
The prolonged whistling was the first signal OF
ulsureSS 10 Ine railway men III the d. q NJ. duu
Union Pacific yards.
A crowd of over hundred men and women
soon gathered. Jack-screws were brought and
used to push back the tank from the engine
for a few inches The first men who entered
the cab saw, as they thrust their lanterns into
the clouds of steam, the face of Engineer
Wilson, who turned his face toward them, but
did not speak, The wrecking party set to
work with axes and cutting as carefully as they
could to avoid hitting the men within, soon cut
away the lower part of the cab and gained ac-
cess to the two men.
q The angineer and fireman were both lying on
the deck or floor of the cab, the former across
the latter. They were taken out, one at
time, and tenderly laid upon the ground, when
DIR. HertZmann made an examination. Nearly
all but the Oldest railway men had been hope
full that the men could be saved and they were
slow to realize the truth of the doctors report
that both were dead, so far as could be told
from the hasty examination from scalding.
Charles Wilson, the engineer, resided at
Fifth and Division streets He was about 35
years of age, has a wife, and has been in the B.
d NJ. service about six months, coming here
from the Wabash railroad.
Daniel Mahlon, the fireman, was about 30
years of age, and resided at Seventh and Pacific
streets, where he leaves wife and baby. He
had been in the service of the company for
most of the last two years.
Both were highly respected and trusted men,
and their families will have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of every one in the community.

sort has been achieved by two New
York papers, each of which had elabo-
rate descriptions of the illumination
of He'll Gate.' The original locality
of this name is not believed to require
any other illumination than that afford
ed by opening the gates themselves.
But its namesake in New York has just
been furnished with an electric light.
According to the Herald crowds gath
cred along the river and were well re-
warded by the magnificent spectacle.
They saw dull glow high up in the
darkness of the night; but an instant
later there gushed forth flood of light
which grew brighter and brighter,
broader and broader. The reporter
then portrayed the landscape as it lay
"bathed in silvery showers, and the
outlines of the bridge stretching like
some huge spider web from shore to
Shore"
AS the lamps had not then been put
in place and the illumination had been
delayed week, the nervousness of the
reporter was neither gratefully ac-
knowledged nor adequately rewarded
by his employer

Wilbur F. !Storey's Kindness to Aninsals.

Wilbur F. Storey, who died in Chica-
60 few DAYS ago, was hard unfeel-
ing man in his general bearing, but he
had warm side for those who proper
ly feared and fiattered him, and one
distinguished quality, aside from his
conceded force and ability. which it is
pleasant to discover and respect. 1t is
brought out in the following statement
by Mr.. Frank Wilkie, his biographer
and eulogist in the Times:
1t is curious fact that, while MIR.
Storey's '.soul was like star and
dwelt apart and his life was of him
self and in himself, and that he shrank
from human contact for so many years,
he was very fond of animals. 1t was a
common practice with him to pick up
stray dogs which appeared to be lost
and suffering from hunger or thirst,
and to take them home and supply
their wants. A familiar feature in his
home life was q, large, sleek, purring
cat on his lap, and with which he
seemed to have an excellent under
He possessed many horses,
and on no occasion was he ever guilty
of cruelty toward them in the use of
the whip, or even harshness in his
voice when speaking to them. Such of
his acquaintance as have encountered
only the prickly hedge with which he
fenced himself in against the world
would be surprised did they know how
warm and hospitable were many of the
recesses of the character within.

That a Healthy HIon,an Can DO?
Rochester Democrat.

Forty or fifty women, many of them
foreigners, were yesterday employed at
husking corn in the extensive cornfields
of Supervisor Brown, near Bay street.
One of them was Polish girl about %
years of age of strong physique, and a
rugged glow of health was upon her
face. Playing in the corn at her side
were her three children, aged about 2,
4 and 6 years respectively. Suddenly,
shortly after noon, she complained of
not feeling well. Some of the other
women went to notify Mr. Brown of the
young woman's condition, and when
he arrived an infant Pole had seen the
first light of an autumn day among the
brittle stalks, the withered tassels and
yellow golden grain of the harvest field.
Mr.. Brown secured a carriage and con-
veyed the mother and the newborn in
FAINT to their home on Wells street.
When the house was reached the wo-
man walked from the carriage into the
door without assistance, and at once
began arranging her household affairs.
She is unable to speak English, and her
name could not be learned.

Childhood Troubles.

Who ever heard of old age-old age,
with its long and tender memory
speak slightingly of the sorrows of
childhood? This is reserved for the
preoccupied and callous middle age to
do. From the Indifference which many
grown people exhibit toward the griefs
of the very young, it might be inferred
that their own childhood had become
an indistinct vision, Or at least that it
no longer possessed aught of interest
for them. The little troubles of chill
dren? But all trouble is relative, and
great and small, in this respect, are
movable terms. Sorrow itself grows
old; even the sacred vehemence of
grief felt for the lately dead suffers a
change as the years lapse.
How do we know but that in another
life the most considerable tribulations
endured in this take rank with the
troubles of children?
