A Valuable Discovery.

A graduate of Yale College, DR.. Samuel K.
Cox. d. d., Practical and Analytical Chemist,
Washington, D.. G., makes the following Off
clal statement: 80 the thousands whose sys-
tens instinetively shrink from the use of Nor
phia andOplum, and especially to mothers, who
justly dread the evil, and at times, fatal effects
of these dangerous drugs, the Red Star Cough
ly free from all opiates, poisons, and emetics
Ia thing which lot one cough preparation in ten
can boasb, but it is altogether an original and
most happy combination of the best remedial
agents. and IS as harmless as it is effective. l
base This assertion on careful analyses and nu-
merous practical tests-the latter in every case
resulting i'll u speedy cure."
The Charles A. Voscler Company, Baltimore,

Herr Most's Prescriptions.
the PHILADELPHIA Pre-!

About 100 men wearing red ribbon
streamers from q button-hole in their
coats, assembled at Dramatic hall, 9th
md Gaskill streets, on Sunday after
noon, and listened to a bloodthirsty
speech from Johann Most, the anarchist.
He eulogized Reinsdorf, now condem-
ned to death for the attempt to blow up
the Emperor Wilhelm and his royal
companions, and characterized his work
as agrand example of heroism. Inthis
connection he prescribes "a rope for
traitors, the knife for the police, poison
for the ministers, cold lead for the rich
and a bomb for princes" Herr Most
recommended that riots be started from
time to time in different places, as he
considered them very beneficial, and
said that dynamite was q very good
weapon with which to meet the militia.
He further gave a recipe for an Indian
poison by which the militia could be de-
stroyed at long or short range. Petro-
leum was considered a good thing to be
used in firing the houses of landlords.
The man of blood concluded with the
prediction that it would be but o short
time before the red flag would wave
from the tower of Independence hall.

Of iron. which she waved over her head,
threatening death to all who should approach.
The congregation in CONSERVATION at this
unexpected drama, left the church. The po-
lice arrived, and after a short but very noisy
struggle captured the woman, whom they were
obliged to bind tightly with cords, before they
could remove her. Her exasperatcdlover had

Stringing the Cable.

The copper-wire cable destined to carry
the current for the electric experiment on
the motor line was reeled yesterday, and
the work of strlnging it began last evening
after the last motor train had gone out.
The cable is a quarter-inch copper wire and
is mounted on large spool carried on an
ordinary platform car. The car supports a
scaffold nearly twenty feet high with a
pulley at the top, so that as the car moves
the cable is paid out. The operator, stand
ing on the platform, ATTACHES the cable to
the drop-lines from the cross-wires. The
electric dynamo, driven by sixty-horse-
power engine, has been placed in the
Anchor mill. one of the Pillsbury West
side system, and will be connected with the
cable by way of First street. The cable
work begins near the union depot, proceed
ing thence along the line of the track. 1t
will require some days to get the cable
hung, so that it will be the end of this or
the beginning of next week before the ex-
pertinent can be made.
