AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
"AYER's PILLS are invaluable to me- and
are my. constant companion. I have been
severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing could look to
for relief. One dose. will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physc
have ever found. 1t Is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and 1 always do so
when occasion offers.

"I have used AYERS PILLS in number.

the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as q
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine

began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and

AYERS CATHARTIo PILLS correct irrepu-

A WRECK ADRRT.
Transatlantic Steamers ImpsriIled by
the Course OF the Hulk.


the Course OF the Hulk.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.- On March -
last, the schooner Twenty-One Friends,
laden with lumber and bound from Pen
sacola to Boston, sprung a leak and was
abandoned near Old Point Comfort. She
was kept atioat, however, by her cargo OF
wood, and getting into the gulf stream,
has been gradually drifting eastward
toward the shores of Great Britain. The
reports of Captains of passing ocean
steamers and sailing vessels enables the
officials of the photographic Office to fol-
low her course with great eXaclness.
IN THE LINE OF TRAVEL.
For several weeks she has been drifting
almost directly in the line of what is
known as the ''safe route" between New
York and Liverpool. To collide with her
would be as dangerous as striking an
iceberg. In the day time she can be read
lily distinguished, but there are grave
fears that some Of the great transatlantic
steamers may run into her at night,
which would probably endanger the lives
OF ali on board. Permission has been
asked Of the Secretary of the Navy to send
vessel in pursuit of the Twenty-one
Friends and scuttle her. This request was
made fortnight ago when her dangerous
proximity TO the "sate r0ute'' first be-
came known. Thus far the request has
not been granted.

CONFESSION OF A 0rURDERER.
He Killed His Father and Allowed His
Brother to Hang for 1t,


SALTsBURG, PA, Sept. 27.-No little
excitement has been Occasioned in Wash
ington township, Indiana county, by the
confession of John Allison, brother of
James G.. Allison, who was hanged for
the murder OF his father, Robert Allison,
q year ago, that he (JOhn Allison) killed
the old man. He says that the crime was
committed with the object of securing
some money that his father was supposed
to have hidden in an old chest in the house
where the murder was perpetrated.
After the bloody transaction the self
confessed murderer asserts that the chest
was broken open, but the treasure was
not found. Allison had been acting very
queerly lately, and it is believed his
CHASTITY secret has made him insane. lie
has allowed his hair and whiskers TO
grow very long aud shaggy, and as he
wears no clothes except an Old pair of
overalls he presents an extremely strange
and wild appearance. Allison will be
confined and his mental condition inquir-
ed into.
James G.. Allison, who was executed
for the murder, was convicted on circum-
stantlal evidence which was exceedingly
direct and strong, but there were many
people, at the time OF the trial, who
thought he was innocent. In the event of
an examination es ablishing the sanity Of
John Allison, il is possible the case may
be tried over again.

CORROsION AT HE'LL GATE.
A POstpOnement OF the Great Explosion
for Two w eeks Necessitated.

for Two Weeks Necessitated.
ASTORIA, L. l., Sept. 27.-To-morrow
was the day originally fixed for blowing
up flood rock and completing the work OF
removing the obstruction to navigation in
He'll Gate. The discovery was made
few days ago by Lieut.. G.. Meg. Derby,
superintendent of the work, that
a large number OF cases of dynamite
cartridges which had already been placed
IN the receptacles provided for them in
the galleries which honey comb the work,
had become cOrroded and worthless. 1t
became necessary to remove all the cart
ridges already in position and provide
some remedy against further corrosion.
All the cartridges are now dipped in
melted beeswax previous to being put in
the cells, and it is believed there will be
no more trouble in this direction. The de-
lay thus caused necessitates the post
pOnement of the great explosion for about
two weeks, but Gen. Newton has not yet
definitely fixed the day.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. t.27.-InformatiOn comes
here that a desperate tragedy occurred in
the village of Cottonwood, point in this
State, Friday night. Two intoxicated
strangers got into dispute and then had
a rough-and-tumbl fight over the weight
Of bale OF cotton, but they were sepa-

ever, the men renewed their fight and
mutually agreed, in order that neither
should have an advantage over
the other, that they should
clasp their lett hands together
and fight only with their right hands.
Thus arranged, each man with a revolver
in his right hand began his bloody work.
Seven shots were exchanged, and one OF
the men fell dead with four bullets in his
head and breast, while the other sank
dying from TWO or three desperate wounds.
