Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and u.w
Notary Public at CcdarvilIe, Cumberland
Co, y. j., makes The following startling
statement: My father, mother and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lung, were 30 weak raised blood. Nobody
thought | could live. My work tship-
shifting was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave While i'll this condition |
commenced using Mishler's Herb BtterS,
and it saved my life. Because it was So
difficult to get it in this little place, and |
had improved 81 much, stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and | must have
dozen bottles at once. 81 this Commu-
nicaton as you please, and II any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and | will make affidavit 10 il, for i
owe NV life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhra, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in decomposition; prepared by a regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepare
ton: endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. PriceSl.00

A Wonderful Robbeia.

Early on yesterday morning one of the
most daring, ingenious and wonderful
criminal enterprises in the records OF
crime was engaged in by thieves at
Atlanta.
The pay car Of the Richmond & Dan
Vile Railroad Company attached to the
supply car, was on the track near the
Markham House. Thieves took posses
sion of switch engine, backed it to the
two cars and attached them and then ran
out on the Georgia Pacific track, going
through the yard and over forty or htty
switches.
A.. S. Grocer, paymaster, was asleep
in his car and woke to find himself
moving al full speed. He thought at
first that he was only being shifted, but
on looking at his watch and finding it to
be 8 o'clock he Immediately suspected
that something was wrong. A look at
the surroundings and the train further
alarmed him, and he Immediately pro-
ceeded to slip out the coupling attaching
his car to that in front and put on brakes.
As soon as the supply Car and engine

near the chemical works, four miles from
the city, and ran to some houses near
the track for help. While he was gone
the thieves evidently discovered the loss
of the pay car, for they reversed their
engine and returned very rapidly look
ing it. They ran into it, smashing
one end aud wounding the negro porter,
who was fast asleep, severely. They
then attempted to break in and called
on the porter to open the door. While
they were at work Mr. Grocer returned
to bis car and the thieves fed.
Meanwhile the loss of the engine and
cars had been detected at the round house
and a party had been sent in pursuit
They came up with the train soon after
the would-be robbers had fed.
The sheriff was after the bold maraud:
ers yesterday, and being on their trail
with hounds expected to capture them
The pay car contained about $4,000 OF
$40 900 in currency.-GrcenuiHe Neaos.

The Pail Mall Gazette has thrown all
England into blaze of excitement by
exposing the horrible crimes and depravs
ity of some of the leading men of the
nation. at first the police attempted to
suppress the circulation of the paper,
but its course was SO thoroughly endorsed
by the leading clergymen and christian
people of England that the paper deies
the police, and proceeds with the revela.
tions. Already the new government
promises to rigidly enforce the criminal
law, and so to amend it that the prepe.
tration of the denominations which the
Gazette has exposed shall cease. The
Gazette has done good work for England,
and we expect its example might be
initiated with profit to the public morals
by some of the leading papers in the
large cities of our own country.

A Battle Of the Giants.

COLUMBUS, GA, July 9.-The people
Of Middle Georgia are worked up into q
perfect fever heat over the question of
the building of new railroad across the
State. Some time ago the citizens of Co.
lumbus conceived the idea of building q
through line from that city to Atlanta.
The project met with considerable
encouragement, and the new line was
called the Georgia Midland" just at
the time when the Atlanta people were
congratulating themselves on having
secured the line several very influential
citizens of Athens, Georgia, backed by
the Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company, suddenly came forward and
made a proposition to the Columbus
capitalists to build the new road to
Athens instead of to Atlanta. 1t was
claimed that by so doing the line to
Griffin, thence to Coyington, and from
there to Athens, would open up a rich
cotton country 10 the interior of Georgia,
and that the Richmond and Danville
would offer better inducements than the
city of Atlanta would do. Immediately
upon learning that the "Gate City" was
about to be circumyented by the Rich
mond and Danyille people, q committee
Of several prominent Atlanta capitalists
was appointed, and they have gone to
Columbus to straighten matters out. The
Richmond and Danville people will,
therefore, probably be left in the lurch.
Behind this apparently innocent move
ment on the part Of the Richmond and
Danyille, the railroad men of the South
see deep motive. Columbus is in the
territory of the Georgia Central Rail.
road, which company very recently
acquired control Of the Greenville and
Laurens Railroad in South Carolina,
thus entering the heart of the country
heretofore exclusively the territory OF
the Richmond and Danville. The Cen.
trail Company only obtained the lease Of
this South Carolina road after bitter
fight against the men and the money OF
the Richmond and Danyille syndicate.
Now the Richmond and Danville will
retaliate by striking into one of the most
valuable portions of the Central's system
of roads. The movements will be
watched with the deepest interest as
millions of dollars, not alone of Georgia
capital, but of Northern money, are
invested in the roads which are most
interested. A good deal of Northern
capital, too, has been subscribed to the
new proposed line from Columbus to
Atlanta, most of the investors being New
Workers and Philadelphians.- .-Dispatch

except a small pittance to a negress
named Amanda Eubanks. As Dickson
gave liberal fees to several lawyers and
6is administrators to see that his will was

The white heirs of Dickson, who are
scattered through Georgia, New YORK
and Texas, have also employed able
counsel and hope to attack the dead
mans sanity. The will is to be probateetdi eti

lust told the inside story of the will
Amanda Eubanks, the beneficiary, is the
result of an early indiscretion OF Mr.
Dickson with one of his slaves. 1t is
claimed that after the birth of this child
Dickson took to reading his Bible and to
PRAYER. and declared that it took o man
Of erit to take care of his offspring when
faced by society and prejudice. Hence
his will was intended to secure to his own
child, negro though she was, all that mis- Ms
money could accomplish. In the will
the LAWYERS arc directed not only to see
that its provisions as to bis property are
carried out, but to see that the woman Is
protected in all oil her rig ghts as a citizen,
wherever she may choose to live. The
woman is ovcrrun with letters from ne

Prison Birds Escape.

RICHMOND, VA, July 12.-Atout 4
o'clock this afternoon, while religious
services were being held at the State
penitentiary, three white prisoners es.
capped, but were soon after recaptured.
It seems that the three men, not being
required to attend service, remained in
their cells, and took advantage of the
absence of the guard. from the corridor
to carry out preconcerted plan Of escape.
They forced portion of an iron grating
from window, and then by means of
rope, made of blankets and bedticking,
they lowered themselves to the inner
yard. Then, with the aid of some rope
and an iron hook, they pulled them.
selves to the top of the wall, and gained
their liberty. They were discovered by
the guard, and the alarm was given and
pursuit Instituted. Tho escaping con.
yicts succeeded in reaching Hollywood
cemetery, in the vicinity of the peniten-
tiary, but we're hotly pursued, number
of citizens joining in the chase. Shot
guns and pistols we're freely used, and to
The surprise of the pursuers two of the
convicts returned the fire with pistols
which, by some as yet unknown means,
they had secured. Before being taken,
one of the convicts, Edmund Green,
was shot twice in the hip and leg, and
another, Hugh Nixon, received load of
squirrel shot in the back. The third
convict, Joseph Panley, was retaken
without injury. Two of the citizens,
Messrs. Priton Hundley and Wesley r..
Smithe, were shot by the prisoners.
Hundley's wound is in the groin, and is
thought to be mortal. Green was serv-
ing term of twenty-four years for horse
stealing, Nixon eighteen years for rape
and Panley eight years for murder.
