YOUNG MAN.
Lewis McComas, added another
creditable speech to his record last
week. 1t is noteworthy that Mr.. Nc
Comas, though somewhat experienced
when he entered Congress, is improv-
ing both IN oratorical effect and depth
of thought He is a Republican and
protectionist, but he is an able young
man and honest representative. Well
built, graceful, and quite handsome,
with a gifted head, and an earnestness
of delivery, he enjoys the respectful
attention OF older members every time
he speaks. Mr.. McComas sports a
jet black mustache, matching his hair,
is the picture of health, and as gener-
ous-hearted as boy. He is favor

millions of the former and thirty mil

gun to miss the old greenback. But
if Warner, and his compatriots, sue
ceed, ones and twos will never appear
again on paper. Then there are other
considerations The Treasury girl
wants ones and twos, again, because
their issuance affords her abundant
work. As it is now, the fate of the
Treasury girl is hanging on revenue
stamps. But Sam Randall, and all
other opponents of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, want the Treas

consistent with no work.
THE WORK TO BE DONE

illim liable. There is considerable
reason for the growing belief that
Congress ought to sit every month in
the year. The number of measures
generally left unconsidered justifes

adjourn until all of the work of the
session, big and little, is COM

it would certainly not be hard or un-

Each man receives salary enough to
compensate him for years work. 1t
is quite reasonable to demand full
measure of service. This new depart
ure would be blessing. It would
keep out men who come to Congress

reference to the Committee on Agri
culture virtually kills the oleomarga-

asked that the tariff bill be treated
likewise. Nobody was able to fathom
the Senator's move, however it was
too deep. Senator Vance voted against
the mis-reference of the oleomargarine

A DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
Wonderful Exploits of Three Men on
 Texas Train.

Wonderful Exploits of Three Men on
 A Texas Train.
 ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.-The three robbers who went through train near Bellevue sta ton, Texas, were unmasked and made no effort at concealment. They arrived at the water tank few minutes before the train. When the train came one of the robbers, with drawn pistol, ordered Engi neer Ayres and his fireman and o. G. Miller, another engineer who was riding in the cab, to alight, which they did. He then marched them some thirty feet from the train and took all the valuables they had. While this was go- ing on the other men went through the train. One of the passengers, who was looking out of the window, saw the operation with the trainmen and divining the situation went into the forward and told the other passengers to secrete their money. This they did in various ways, giving most of it and their diamonds to several ladies aboard. Miss Kate Haas, of Fort Worth, took charge of $3, 900 and other valuables. Mrs. Chambers, of Pottsdam, received $5,000 and some diamonds and Mrs. Whittick of Car thage, Mo, took her husbands gold watch and several hundred dollars. Mrs. Whittick was greatly incensed at the proee edings and boldly stood up in the car and asked if forty men were going to submit to such an outrage at the hands of two highwaymen. About S12, ,000 in money and $4 ,000 worth of dia- monds and other vaIuables were left by the robbers in their haste to get through the train and because they did not search the ladies. They were evidently novicss in the business and went away with the pal try sum of $105, three gold watches, ten sill yer watches, five revolvers and one gold ring. The robbers left the train at the rear of the sleeper, mounted horses standing near by and rode rapidly away. The train was then hur- ried on to Bellevue where telegrams were sent to Superintendent Frost at Fort Worth, who immediately replied, offering $250 re- ward for each robber, and in less than hour five posses of officers and citizens were in pursuit under Sheriff McLain of Montague, Marshal Black of Bowie and others. Sheriff McLain says he knows the robbers and has no doubt of his ability to capture them. Captain Connors was on the train, having in charge two deserters, with a guard of five negro soldiers of the Twentyfourth United States infantry. The captain ordered the soldiers to draw their revolvers and fight the robbers, but several passengers opposed so strongly and pleaded earnestly in behalf of the women passengers on board that the captain reluctantly yielded and when the robbers reached the soldiers and demanded their weapons they quietly gave them up.

The Trial of Roodler Mcouade.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 13.-The trial of ex- Doodle Alderman MeQuade was continued to-day and the defense recalled Charles B. Alexander of Alexander 6 Green, the law yers, who settled for 2,500 the alleged damage to John H. Lyddy, the Greenwich street grocer, which would accrue to him on his lease of his store in the event of the lay ing of railroad track in Broadway MT. Alexander acted for the Broadway surface railway and James B. Lyddy, acting as at torney for the grocer, demanded $50, 900 at first, but MT. Alexander testified that the matter was finally settled for $12, ,500.
 John Jacobs, alderman in 1883 and the Republican candidate for sheriff a year ago, was called to the stand. In 1884 he had an office in the City Hall. His door is near that of the aldermanie chamber and he was at his office on the morning of the extraordi- nary meeting, August 30, 1884. He went into the chamber, where Clerk Maloney was reading the order of Judge Bartlett dissolv- ing the Lyddy injunction. The franchise bill was read afterwards. He never was asked to use his influence to obtain vote for the franchise.
 w. s. Williams, president of the Cable road, was called and testified that he was vice president in 1884. He never knew of nor did he know that anyone had been given authority to make any such offer.
 A large number of witnesses, including ex Alderman Cleary, one of the indicted men, were examined, but nothing of moment was elicited The court adjourned.

A Bloody Row at Port Byron.

AUBURN, N Y, Dec. IRA fight occur red at Port Byron to-day between six Italians and a party of American laborers engaged in repairing an Erie canal lock. Frank de Botis, lchief of the Italians, applied to Lu- ther Burgess, foreman of the laborers, for employment and was refused. He made some insulting remarks and war of words ensued, the foreman finally ordering him away. He soon returned accompanied by his five countrymen and stealing up behind the foreman dealt him sdly blow on the head with a pickaxe. The foreman fell andthe Italians made an attack upon his men, draw ing stilettoes. A desperate fight ensued in whichboth sides received severe punishment. The village police appeared and arrested four Italians, two escaping. They were overtaken by one of the officers who drew his revolver upon them, when they threw up their hands. The six men were given bri eff examina- tion before the local justice and brought to this place to avoid thelynching which await ed them at Byron. Three of them were wounded and occupied the attention of the jail physicians for two hours. They were stalwart men and ra nged in age from twen- ty-two to forty years old.

A Delicate Surgical Operation

CINCINNATI, Dec. 13.-One of the rarest and most dangerous operations in the scope of surgery has been lately performed at the Cincinnati hospital. It consisted ill remov- ing about three inches of the backbone and exposing the spinal cord, the bone having become diseased. The patient, young col ored man, had been compelled to lie on his face and had lost the power of motion and all sensation in his legs. In three days after the operation motion returned to the legs, and he was able to move his feet fer the first time in nearly year. About the same time sensation began to return in the limbs.

FIRE IN A LAUNDRY.

 aged-Cause of The Fire Unknown.

aged-Cause of The Fire Unknown.
 About 12:30 o'clock this morning an alarm of fire was given from box 531, located at No. 8 engine house on Edwards street. The cause of the alarm was that fire was discovered in the laundry room of the Elm City Dye works, corner of State and Law renee streets. The fire, which originated in the starch room connected with the laundry, spread rapidly, and before it was got under control a large amount of stock and eonsid erable valuable machinery was either de- stroyed or badly damaged. All the soiled linen brought in during the day by the va rious teams to be laundried was destroyed. The watchman on the premises says that he passed through the room where the fire orig mated an hour before the fire was discovered and at that time everything was all right. s. Corbett, the plumber on Broadway, had some men at work on the premises during the night extending some gas pipes, and it is possible that the fire might have caught from the lights they were using to work by. Mr. Forsyth, the proprietor, estimates his loss at from s4, 900 to 5000. He is insured on the entire premises and stock in Wilson's agency for about $12, 000.

probibit,on c,uh Meeting.

The Prohibition club met last evening and listened to an address by Rev. Ward T. Sutherland, of Rochester. MT. Sutherland described the political situation in the State of New York during the recent election, when the Prohibition vote req .hed 36,00O. He said that it was more than probable that the vote would reach 6O,000 next year. The reason prohibition did not gain foothold was because no .outspoken temperance man could get nominated by either party, or, if nominated, elected. The temperance people will be forced to organize if they really de- sire to see their principles prevail. The seo- retary read letter from Hon. John B. Finch, urging the Prohibitionists of Counec- ticut to increase the circulation of the Con necticut Home and other prohibition papers, and to assist all temperance organizations. After further remarks by several present the meeting adjourned.

it is to delude poor sufferer into the belief tn t some worthless liniment will cure rheu- matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar- ticles as in all other matters, and the fact that the proprietors of Athlophoros have never claimed for it even all its merit would warrant has not little to do with it's won derful popularity, and the thousands of grateful testimonials received by them show that their policy has been wise ss well as right.
 Experience has amply demonstrated that mere outward applications are worthless. The disease has it's seat in the blood, and any remedy to be successful must deal with the obstructive acid which poisons and in- flames it.
 Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles and joints directly. It takes the poison out of the blood and carries 1t out of the system; it invigorates the action of the muscles and limbers the stiffness of the joints. It reach es the liver and kidneys, cleansing them from irritating substances, and, if followed up after the rheumatic conditions cease, 1t will restore these organs to regularity and health.

 You ask if am cured of rheumatism by the use Of Athlopholos. When first tried it was afflicted in my knees. They were badly swollen and I suffered a great deal of pain. Three doses began to take effect, and used two bottles when the pain left, the swelling and stiffness disappeared and has never returned. About year later my shoulder troubled me; took one bottle and was cured of that and have not had rheuma- tism since. I recommended it's use to one or two neighbors who tried it and were re- lieved.
