A Healthy Body and Clear Head.

If indigestion, constipation and bilious
ness torments the body, the head cannot be
clear. These disorders react upon the brain
most hurtfully, and produce cloudiness in
the organ of thought no experienced by a
healthy man. Happily these brain-oppress-
ing maladies may be entirely dispelled by
that peerless Alternative, HoStetteI's StOm-
ach Bitters, which cheers, refreshes and in
vigorates the brain and nerves, while it reg
ulateS the organs of digestion, assimilation
and bilious secretion. Ii expels the NOR
bid humors which poison the system through
the bowels and urinary passages, and exerts
powerful invigOrating influence as well.
Its cathartic action is never irritating, vio-
lent or painful, but even, natural and pro-
gressive. As an appetizer and sleep pro-
mOter, the bitters is unriyalied; it mitigates
the infirmities of age, relieves the ailments
peculiar to the gentler sex, arrests prema-
mature decay, and builds up an. enfeebled
physique.

A FEARFUL PERIL.
A ,Passenssr-Train Narrowly Escapes be'n'
Enrulfed In " Caye-in."

A ,Passeussr.rrain Narrowly Escapes Being
Enruifed In a "Caye-in."
A Shenandoah Pa special says:
The Philadelphia and Reading railroad
will sooner or later be called upon to
answer, not only for the destruction OF
their own property, but for the loss oil
many lives, il they persist in running
trains over the Shenandoah branch oil
their road in its present dangerous con-
dition. One of the most miraculous
escapes known to the railroad men In
this section was made by the passenger
train which left Mahanoy Plane at
twenty minutes past 5, en- route Tor
Shenandoah, the terminus OF the branch:
There were probably one hundred
or more passengers aboard, and
as the train approached the scene
of so many - cave-ins there
was no indication or warning of danger.
But as the train was crossing the
treacherous part of the road it swayed
and tumbled as if made Of rubber. For
tunately, however, it reached the solid
surface and only those who were thor
ouehly familiar with its condition were
conscious of what had occurred, outside
of experiencing slight rocking sensa-
ton. The matter was Immediately re-
ported, and an examination soon showed
that about six hundred feet Of the road
bed had "gone down several inches, J."
and continued to gradually sink, in spite
of the efforts of the large force of work
men who were trying to prevent any
| further damage. Meanwhile a total
suspension of traffic was ordered, and
all passenger trains now 60 over the
Lehigh Valley railroad.
A prominent official of the Lehigh-
Valley Coal Company and skilful miner,
who went into the breasts and made a
thorough examination of their condi-
ton. said 1.-The road bee is simply
held up by a mere crust and must
eventually 60 down. With the excep-
ton of locating and building a new
roadbed there is only one way to put
the road in a safe condition, and that is
to put dynamite in the hole, blow up
the whole concern, and then fill it up.
That is the only way by which a solid
roadbed can be made there"
In spite of this opinion, which is the
general one, large force Of men are
now engaged in filling up the surface
cracks, after which traffic will be re-
sumed-to take another risk.
