game of cards at Coles Creek. Columbia
county, Pa, the Goth. Charles Davis,
Charles Mills, James Roger and Henry
Williams were playing poker. Gradually the
amount grew larger, and at last reached $500
a side. Davis and Mills were playing against
Williams and Royner. At the conclusion of the
/ game Williams reached forthe stakes, but Roy
ner claimed he had seen Davis cheat, aud .
scramble was made for the money. Revolvers
| were drawn and the bar-room was emptied of
the small crowd of spectators which had wit

lowed, in which the lights were extinguished
The firing lasted several minutes, and the crowd
outside waited with bated breath for it to cease.
Finally there was silence inside. The crowd
| surged in and found all four lying OF the floor
| apparently dead. Davis and Mills each had
four bullet holes in their bodies. Roger and
Williams were covered with blood and uncon-
scious. 1t was found that Roger was shot twice
in the right leg and once in the thigh. His skull
bears the appearance of being fractured. Viii

and is undoubtedly fatally wounded. Mills and
Davis died Monday, The widest excitement
exists. all kinds Of rnmors were aloat, and
! the death of Roger and Williams was announced,

to the effect that Roger and Williams will re-

Three Months Failures.

Bradstreet's Journal of N. Y, publishes the
following: We find the first quarters failures
in 1884 in excess of any like total m proceeding
years, the total number being $3.50. This
points to o record of over 10,400 business
deaths within the current year. The probable
total of failures for 1884 may exceed that of the
heaviest of the list 1873, yet such q result would
i'll no way lken the commercial healthfulness
to that i'll 1873. AS pointed out a number of
times heretofore, the commercial death ratois
always greatest during. periods of trade depres-
sion. If then, with the enormous increase in
the number of traders throughout the country
which has taken place within the past six
years from All increased population of at least
six millions, the list Of commercial deaths
barely exceeds that of 1873, the death rate per
LOCO in business as compared with 1878 will be
much lower. Not more than 81 per cent. ofthe
firms and business enterprises of the country
are employing each 5000 or less capital. The
failures in the different districts for the first
quarter of 1854 are:

Kidney Complaints.

The kidneys form a very important channel
for the outlet of disease from the system, car
rying off accumulations that poison the blood.
AS thelungs removetho carbonic acid, the liver
the hillary acid, so tho kidneys remove the
uric acid. The INSTRUMENTATION of this acid
is the poison that often produces rheumatism
and other chronic diseases. Tho kidneys are
often affected and cause serious disease when
least suspected. If there is weakness, heat or
pain in the back or loins, WEAKNESS, nervous
restlessness, and any unnatural condition of tho
urine, a hot dry skin. and hectic fushes, bloat-
ing of the body or swelling of the limbs, annoy
ing headaches, obstructed circulation, with sed-
iment or gravely or albuminous deposits in the
secretion from the kidneys; or if that secretion
be either extremely pale or high colored, then
the kidneys are evidently not doing their natu-
rul work. Many suffer from serious kidney
trouble without knowing what ails them. No
matter in what form the kidney complaint may
exist there is no better purifying regulating di-
arctic aud tonic, than Burdick's Blood Bitters;
its action upon the kidneys is at once manifest
