Father, Mother, and Three SISTERS Deat.
Mr. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes ihe following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak | raised blood. Nobody
thought / could live. Ny work tship-
smithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition |
commenced using Mishlcr's Herb Filters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it i'll this little place, and
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for 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
os nothing else docs, and i must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commit
nication as you please, and II any one wants
to lie convinced of its truth let them write
me and will make affidavit to it, for l
owe INV life to Mishlcr's Herb Bitters''
Thesecre of the almost inyariablc relief
and care of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhma, 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 ipeigor-
ates the whole system. Purclyyvegctahlc

physician; a standard inesicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed by phyficians and drug
gists. These are flour strong points in favor

The Deadlock In The Election of a ChfefWIll It Re Broken To.Nighte

9
 ChfefWiH 1t Re Broken To-Nighte
 The police commissioners will meet this evening for the transaction of the. usual monthly work of approving bills and to do any other business that may seem to require their attention. Whether this will include the election of chief, or an attempt to elect one, remains to be seen. That some ballots for chief will be taken there is not much doubt. There is considerable differ ence of opinion among the taxpayers as to
 the necessity of electing chief. Some think
 that the department is running well enough as it is, while others claim that the deadlock should be broken without delay and a chief be elected. A prominent
 Democrat said yesterday that the Re publican members of the Board were not sincere in their votes for MT. Bollman. Said he: The Repub blicans very well know that MT Bollman would not accept the office if elected; if they thought otherwise they would not vote for him.
 A prominent Republican on the other hand said he believed the Republican commission CTS were thoroughly in earnest in voting for | MT. Bollman and they would be very glad l for Mr. Bollman.
 Captain Hyde's "furlough" expires to day | and it is understood that he is so much improved in health
 that he will again enter upon the duties of
 acting chief. Captain Smith will then re-
 turn to duty at the precinct, and the other | officers will take their former places and l hours on duty. Since Captain Hyde has
 been off duty as acting chief that position has | been very creditably filled by Captain Smith,
 the department in no way suffering under his management If either of the two cap tains were promoted to the chiefs position ! the department would, in the opinion of a
 gonid nat rstrosraae m in tba 1aaat nnda, .ia~ | their management.

meriden,s Corner Church Excite

Meriden,s Corner Church Excitement.
 The Rev MT. Everest, pastor of the Cor ner Congregational church, Meriden (at salary of $10,000 per annum), in his sermon Sunday raked his congregation fore and aft. During other things he said:
 When the other day I showed how, during the past fifteen years, the male candidates for admission to the church had averaged only -four per annum, some of your old members were shocked beyond expression. I have no desire to confront this church with it's skeleton It is no personal gratifi- cation to me. The best people here have been my friends; and although the ill-bred men and women who abound in every com munity have met me sometimes and said un- Christian things, they used such bad English that I really enjoyed them as diversion-so that it is not from personal motives that say these things, but because it is my duty.
 Your church is by-word throughout the State. Its shortcomings are talked of by ministers generally. You must be either for God or against him, and sooner than con tinue misrepresenting the cause of Christ it would be better if every granite stone in this edifce were carried back to the uarries from whence they came There was a frightfu1 hush at the close of the pastors remarks.
 It is expected that MT. Everest will preach his farewell sermon next Sunday. The Cor ner church was formerly w. H. H. Murray's and it's memb bership embraces a majority of the wealth and elite of Meriden. Rev. MT. Everest came to the church at the earnest request of Horace Wilcox, Senator Platt, N. ! L. Bradley and Dr. G. H. Wilson. Mir. Everest it is said owns big cattle ranch out in Colorado or Dakota. The beginning of the trouble showed itself in an irreconcil- able difference between the minister and the organist, in the matter of classical music versus popular airs-the minister fla voring the latter. Of course there arose at once two parties in that ehurch-the minis ter's and the organists friends-and the feminine element in the church, as is sure to be the case in any New England establish ment, was bound to be as talkative as the men. Things went on from bad to worse; gossip, and possibly islander, abounded, but the minister took no notice of it all until he came out with his trumpet blast on Sunday

He Passes A Good Day And Goes To
 Rest In Fine Spirits.
 MT. McGREGoR, N. Y, June 29.-General Grant decided before noon that he would not leave his room. It was pleasant out side but the darkened sick room was more to his liking There he sat dressed as he was during the night, needless of his sur roundings and with no wish except that he might be left to save what little strength re- mains. That was not quite the way he put it, but it was so construed. He said he did not care to leave the room because if he went out he might be tempted to work or have to submit to conversation and perhaps annoy ance. Dr. Douglass looked frequently into the room so that the general might not want for attention His solicitude was noticed by the general who wrote to him that he had enjoyed restful day and was quite as we'll as yesterday. The note, as though still further to make the doctors mind easy, conveyed the hope that to-mor- row might be pleasant enough for him to go outdoors. Some apprehension was felt by the family during the afternoon lest the gen erals weakness had reached the stage at which danger was imminent This feeling could not be concealed from the general and at about o'clock he and was fully dressed, put h1S disposition to De quiet and remain in the sick room did not leave and as the family did not regain the confidence with which he evidently wished to inspire them he wrote the fol lowing; ''po as I do. take things quietly. give myself not the least concern. As long as there is no progress there is hope" There was some comfort in the family in this cour- ageous note and evening came with hope in some degree revived, The evening as of late passed quietly and without event. Quite early the general joined the family in the parlor, remaining until about 8 o'clock. He had gargled bis throat frequently and was fully prepared for rest before g o'clock and was asleep within an hour. Dr. Douglass said he thought the indications for the night were as favorable as they were last night The general awoke twice betwea,, and 12 o'clock, the second time coughing so severely that the doctor, who had gone to thia notel for q few minutes, was summoned The trouble was soon relieved and he dozed off again.
