GALVESTON, TEX June 21.-The
NeWs specials from Elgin, Manor aud
Pdige, on the line OF the Austin
branch of the Houston and Texas
Central Railway, tonight show that
these places aud vicinity were visited
yesterday evening with heavy storms,
infiicting great damsge. At Elgin a
terrific thunder, rain and hailstorm
swept over that vicinity, deluging a
portion OF the town. Every building
IN the place had windows broken and
holes knockt d 10 the roof, hail falling
from the sizs Of a marble to chunks
OF ice as large as mans hand, and
p'rforating iron and tin lo9fs like a
sieve. A piece of hailstone was
picked up that actually weighed
seven pounds. The Methodist Church
was blown from its foundations and
demolished. The Baptist Church
was blown out of line and the win
doSs. on the north side broken One
man was struck down by hailstones
and seriously injured. At Manor the
storm did Undesirable damage to
the crops, hailstones falling the s'zs
of hens eggs. Three churches aud
many other buildings were badly
damaged. At Paige the storm was
severe. Tbs rainfall was heavy,
though but slight damage was done
to the crops or buildings. At Mexia,
on the main line Of the Houston and
Texas Central Railway, in Limestone
co unity, the storm struck the place
about o'clock, wrscking one church
and several small houses, unroofug
others and badly injuring the corn
crop. No lives were lost, the people
hastily seeking shelter in stormhoutes
when the gale approached.

Tho lawyer went TO work, and Ward
returned home to study the philosophy
and history of coal measures. In
three months the lawyer had made the
necessary negotiations (the parties be-
ing sick of litigating), and found that
the claimants were willing to sell for
1881 200. The money was advanced
forthwith, and when the purchase got
into the papers, Ward was the flnan.
cial hero of the day. He took a little
vacation, "a sort of financial lark)
going to New Orleans, and was there
nearly buzzed to death by newspaper
reporters. Then came letters from H.
nancial magnates, including Hunting
ton, inquiring Wards price for the
property. He replied that he would
give no price, but would receive their
proposals. Several responses came,
and Huntington's proposal was 81, 200
600! But Ward refused to sell, pre-
ferring to regard the transaction as a
permanent investment. The value OF
the property cannot be estimated. but
he would not part with it for less than
SIS, 600, 600. Mr.. Ward has also fine
tracts of coking steam coal on the New
river, some thirty miles above the
other tract This contains only two
veins of coal and only one railroad fol

Logan.

The death of Senator Logan will
bring sorrow to the heart of every sur
viving Union Soldier. He was the ide-
al of volunteer, and one who was
perhaps nearer the hearts of the rank
and file than any General of the army.
The following tribute from the De-
troit Tribune will be echoed in the
thought of every veteran:
1.-THE death of Senator Logan will
bring sorrow deep and lasting to the
heart of every Union soldier. His
long years of faithful service and de-
votion TO his country since the war are
chapters of history, unmarried by a
single blot, and for this he is honored,
for this his memory will be cherished
by a grateful nation. But back in
those dark days when war separated
the traitor from the patriot, and the
cowardly from the brave, it discovered
among the heroes of the nation the
gallant John A. Logan, than whom no
Drawer soldier ever drew sword or led
an army to victory, and so, to-day, as
the old veterans of the union read the
announcement of his death, they will
shed soldiers tears for the soldier
statesman who now lies cold in death.
In every post room of the Grand Ar
my of the Republic will gather sorrow
ing hearts to pay tribute to the memo
ry of the gallant chief to whom, more
than any other man in the nations
councils, they have gone with their
petitions, and from whom they have
received so much aid and attention.
The nation will mourn, but next to
the generals stricken family, will
stand the Union Soldier whose sympa-
thy and grief may not be measured by
those who never knew the depth of a
soldiers love. The tie that binds sol
dier to soldier Is chain that was forg-
ed in the heat of hard fought battles,
its links welded by the fire of patriot
ism that burned in every comrades
heart"

WHY IA TT

w n 40 -
That rheumatism and neuralgia are 80
prevalent This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but 1t is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim Of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are Of constant oc-
currence. Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only a certain
cure for these diseases, In all their varied
forms, but safe remedy. II, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action Of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonde rful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
certain cure for either Of these very COM
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros. Co., liz Wall St., New York. will
send either carriage paid) on receipt Of
regular price, which is $1.00 per bottle
