Russia of March 16 was one which England
hoped and believed would be recognized as
one of the most sacred ever made between two
just nations, and if any deviation
occurred there should be Jealous

both countries to ascertain how the calamity
occurred. The cause OF the collision is perhaps

were the acting party, and that the AfghsnR

way people are putting forth every effort to re-
pair the track, and the regular traffic will be
resumed soon. From Newburg Junction to

night four inches Of snow fell, and this will
add to the volume Of the existing lreshet.

The Governor and Council.
AUGUSTA, April 27.-The Governor and Ex-
ecutive Council were in session today. Nelson
Howard, ex-Mayor of Lewiston, appeared be-
fore them and advocated the appointment of a
special constable for that city to enforce the
liquor law. He claimed that the sheriff of the
county at the previous meeting of the council
had made declaration that the liquor law
was not enforced in that city and could not be
without the aid of additional force, as the pres
ent city government is doing little or nothing
towards the enforcement of the law, and that
its provisions were violated for the want of an
efficient force. The State had given official
notice to the present mayor that there would
be hearing on this question, but no one saw
tit to make their appearance, and in conse-
quence OF. what appeared at the former hearing
and what was said by ex-Msyor Howard, the
council unanimously voted that the petitioners
had made out case and would advise the
Governor to appoint special constable for
that city. 1t is understood that the Governor
will Immediately make the appointment.
The council will give hearing tomorrow on
granting pardon to James Bradlee, in Port

Suffering Womanhood.

Too much effort can not be made to bring
to the attention of suffering womanhood
the great value of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as a remedy for the
diseases of women, and perhaps nothing
is more effectual than the testimony of
those who have been cured by it. Such an
one is the wife of General Barringer, of
Winston, N. c., and we quote from the
Generals letter as follows: "Dear Mrs.
Pinkham: Please allow me to add my
testimony to the most excellent medicinal
qualities of your Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Barringer was treated for several
years for what the physicians called Leu
corrhea and Prolapsus Uteri combined. I
sent her to Richmond, Va, where she re-
manned for six months under the treatment
of an eminent Physician without any
permanent benefit She was induced to
try your medicine and after reasonable
time commenced to improve and is now
able to attend to her business and consid-
ers herself fully relieved" General Bar
ringer is the proprietor of the American
Hotel, Winston,N. c., and is widely known
