Can any one bring us case Of Kid
ney or Liver Complaint that Electric
Bitters will not speedily cure? We
say they can not, as thousands Of cases
already permanently cured and who
are daily recommending Electric Bit

Diabetes, Weak Back, or any urinary
complaint quickly cared: They purify
the blood, regulate the bowels, and
act directly on the diseased parts.

She Threw Vitriol il His Face.

Joseph Schneider lies i'll a critical
condition at his home, No. 6A3 Forty
third street Chicago, Ill. His eyes,
mouth and breast are horribly burned
with vitriol and the attending physi-
clan says there is some doubt OF his re-
coveIy, and that, in any event, he will
loose his sight. Some time ago Schneid-
er borrowed, it is said, $1,000 from a
Mrs. Stadeiman lie failed to pay it,
and she sued him and obtained jndg-
ment for $500. This was not paid until
about two weeks ago, when Schneider
got married. Before the marriage he
is said to have compromised the matter
with Mrs. Stadelman by paying her $50.
Last night he accidently met Mrs.
Stadelman at the corner Of State and
Thlrty-second streets. They had some
words when the woman dashed the en-
tire contents OF a large bottle Of yitrioi
into his face. He was removed TO a
neighboring drug store, where 1t was
found that the liquid had filled his eyes
and mouth, causing his tongue to swell
SO that he could scarcely speak, and had
then trinkled down the upper portion
of his body. His coat. vest and shirt
were almost consumed by the acid. The
woman escaped and will probably not be
arrested as Schneider requested that she
should not be arrested.

lawful cohabitation. On his examine

sioner, Isabella Ball, 13-year-old
daughter Of the second wife, testified
to her mother (who could not be pro

Henry Grow and w. Keddington

Herbert J. Foulger was also arraigned
on the same charge, and after pleading
guilty with triumphant air was about
to sit down, when the CLERK told him to
wait little, then read another indict-
ment for the offense covering differ
ent time, to which Foulger, i'll a dazed
way, pleaded not guilty, and sank into
his seat, but he was called up promptly
to hear yet a third Indictment, pinning
him for the same offense more recently
than either Of the others, to which he
also pleaded not guilty.

Michael Smythe q young Irishman,
twenty-seven years of age, and hailing
from county Kildare, had for some
time been engaged to her daughter.
| A short time ago the three people
agreed to emigrate to this country, the
young compile to be married on their ar
rival here. Three days before sailing
Smythe visited race course and won
thirty-two shillings. With this money
he entered on debauch. and remained
in state Of intoxication until he sailed.
He brought q supply Of liquor on
board, and for the first day or two OF
the voyage he continued to drink heav-
lily. The liquor turned his brain and he
raved constantly, saying the sailors
had threatened to throw him overheard
One mig bit when all was still he climb
ed from his bunk, and seeking Mrs.
Hanley, implored her to save him from
some impending peril. The poor wonl-
an appealed to the surgeon, who at once
placed Smythe III the hvspital. Mrs.
Hanley insisted on going there, too, to
nurse him,
On Monday night the patient, in a
paroxysm of delrium, drew a pocket
knife from his clothes, and grasping
Mrs. Hanley by the neck inflicted sew
eral severe wounds on her throat. AT
last she succeeded in escaping. Assis
lance was summoned, the raving man
was pinioned, and after an opiate had
been given him he grew quieter. The
Wonnan's wounds, although severe, We're
not dangerous, and after few days Of
nursing she recovered sufficiently to go
about.
The man, however, grew rapidly
worse. He lay in a state Of coma for
many hours and at last on the third day
died and was buried at sea.

so the young lawyer skipped across the
