blood, equalizes the circulation, regu-
lates its supply, improves its quality,
furnishes vital energy, conquers disease,
perfects digestion, Improves the appe-
lite, cleanses the liver and kidneys, acts
as mile siomachic, and imparls vital
lty and elasticity to every organ of the
body.

rhree Miles Of rraIna Rlooked.

ATLANTA, Dec. 22.-The Georgia
Pacific had yesterday refused to let
the East Tennessee trains run on the
seventeen miles stretch to Austel,
heretofore used by both roads. 1t was
upon this stretch that the late aeci-
dent occurred in which fifteen lives
were lost. A quarrel as to the respon-
sibility grew out of the accident. Ac-
cording to the Georgia Pacifc's con-
struction of rules the East Tennessee
road would have been responsible for
the accident which would invite heavy
damages, while 1.-THE East Tennessee
construction would throw the blame
on the Georgia Pacific. At an early
hour Monday morning the Georgia
Pacific closed its line to the East Ten
nessee and at noon stopped the mail
train for one hour. The East Ten
nessee officers then consented to ac-
cept the Georgia Pacifc's construction
when the trains were allowed to move.
Over three miles of trains had been
blocked.

Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Dec. % The cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by al!
the members except Secretary Whitney,
who is in New York. The session last
ed about three hours and was devoted
to a general discussion OF the business
pending in each of the departments.
The question Of shortening hours of
work in the departments during the
holiday recess according to the long es-
tablished custom was also considered.
1t was decided that in addition to
closing the departments on Christmas
and New Years day, they would be
closed at noon on each of the days i'm
mediately proceeding those holidays,
and that they would be open for bust
ness as usual in the interum. This
course was adopted in view of repre-
sentations that the business in several
of the departments, notably the treasu-
ry, is somewhat in arrears, and might
accumulate to serious proportions if the
hours of work were shortened.

An uneasx FeeIIng Prevails.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 22-There was an
outbreak at Beagle mines, in the third
pool, near Elkhorn yesterday morning.
AT an early hour about twenty masked
men made an attack on two Germans,
when about three-quarters of mile
from the pit. One Of the men was
knocked down and beaten with clubs;
his injuries are of a serious nature.
The other Jared better and got off with
a scratch and black eye. The alarm
was quickly raised. Superintendent
Jones and Engineer Kerr, with one
man, succeeded in routing them The
strikers displayed very little courage;
they ran for the fourth pool WHEN
Jones and his assistants arrived and
showed their revolvers. No other outs
RACES are reported. There is an un-
easy feeling prevailing throughout the
entire valley. At all mines where dig
gers are working at a reduction the

ing the question in connection with

a most incomprehensible condition.
They are vague and conflicting in
many cases and are scattered through
forty volumes so that it is almost i'm
possible to know which are in force
and which are dead letters. All that
are now in operation he says could be
contained in four pages of the revised
statutes if properly compiled.

A Law Suit over the VIII Of the
Late VIM. s. Stewart.

~
Late VIM. 8. Stewart.
SYRACUSE, N. r.. Dec. 22-The will
Of William S. Stewart, who died last
October, came up for probate yester-
day. Thirty years ago Mr. Stewart
married In Cincinnati a girl Of good
family and remarkable beauty; two
years later daughter was born to
them at their home in this place. Their
married life passed in apparent happi-
ness until towards the close Of the
war, when Mrs. Stewart conceived
passion for an actor, and for whom she
abandoned her home. She died about
ten years ago, leaving her child, (who
is now Mrs. Maria a. Farnwortn, Of
San Jose, California; in the care Of
her people in Cincinnati. In 1872.
Mr.. Stewart, having procured a di-
vorce, came here from st. Louis and
married the daughter of ex- Assembly,
man Hutchinson of this county. Re-
turning Immediately afterwards to st.
Louis, the newly married couple took
up their quarters in the Southern ho-
tel and were in the building on the
night Of the great fire, April /, 1877.
Mr.. Stewart was rescued, but his wife
was killed by fall to the sidewalk,
while trying to escape. Her husband
closed out his business and returned to
this city, where he became enamored
of Miss Lizzie Owen, lady Of good
social standing. Preparations for the
marriage were under way when Mr..
Stewart was seized with his fatal ILL
ness. In his will Miss Owen is left
$4,000 and several diamonds Of great
value. The daughter by his first mar
riage is cut off with $l0 At the
hearing yesterday Mrs. Farnsworh
gave notice, through her attorney, that
she would contest the will on the
ground Of undue influence. The case
was then postponed until January 26th
