The Agonies of Lumbago:
EAST RIVER NATIONAL BANK, I
NEW YORK March 10 1886

, It gives me great pleasure to add my tes-
timony in favor Of ALLcoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs. Last October l had very Sc
we're attack of lumbago and suffered untold
agony; could not turn in bed or get in any
position without assistance, and with pains
almost unbearable; the folks suggested
ALLCocK's Porous PLAsrERs. AS soon as
possible had one applied to the small Of
my back, and to my great surprise expert
enced almost instant relief; / continued
wearing it until entirely cured, and am hap
by to say that have not had the slightest
symptoms of Lumbago since. They are a
wonderful and valuable plaster for Lum-
bago, and take much pleasure in recon-
mending them w. s. PHILLIPS

Built Over Ruins.

AS the traveller walks on he per-
ceives that his footsteps are not upon
the original ground of Jerusalem, but
upon mass of super-imposed matter
which has been strewn over the whole
site. History enumerates seventeen
captures of the Holy City, eleven of
which were attended by sieges more
or less destructive. After many of
these events the houses then standing
was RACED to the earth. These were
in time succeeded by new houses,
which in their turn were over
thrown at the next siege, and so on,
each capture adding to the accumula-
ton of rubbish. Thus the traveller
learns that compact layer of solid
coating, from thirty to fifty feet in
thickness, has been by degrees spread
over the entire space. Even the val
leys and ravines between the several
hills on which the city was built have
been so far filed up as to have partly
lost their special character, as already
mentioned. The Tyropheon brook is
perhaps the~most particular instance.
The traveller will have heard of this
brook, or read of it in Josephus, as a
landmark in the interior of the city,
but he will not find it. Nevertheless
it was so deep that at its exit from the
city at Moriah the bridge-span was
more than one hundred feet above its
bed. Its course has been traced by the
discovery of the arch and by deep ex-
cavations here and there which have
exposed the bed now overlaid with
ruins.-PdleStine Illustrated.

Into the SchuylkilI.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10. - Engine 601,
which had brought a train from Baltimore
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad last night
went through. an open draw into the
Schuylkill river, near Gray's Ferry. Fire
man McMichael jumped and escaped. En-
gineer Bell, McCord and Sawyer went
down with the engine and Sawyer was
drowned. Bell received serious injuries,
while McCord will probably live. The
drawbridge tender declares that the prop
er signals were out, but fireman Nc
Michael declares that there were no signals
visible.

The Rosebud Indians.

VALENTINE, Neb., Aug. s.-H. Dunbar,
issue clerk at the Rosebud agency, and j.
A. Nebzer, chief of the Indian police, say
that they have asked the opinions of over
a thousand Indians during the past month
with regard to the opening of their reser-
walton and not one of them was in favor
of it. Last week the Indians at Rosebud
had big council composed of over sixty
chiefs and head men in which all the
agencies were represented and they
unanimously pledged themselves not to
sign and to use all their Influence TO pre-
vent other Indians from doing so.

North Carolina Train wrecking.

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 6.-Ncws was re-
ceived here of the details of a disaster on
the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta rail-
way near Charlotte. As passenger train
was on its way toward Columbia and was
running rapidly the engine leaped the
track and in a moment was a wreck. For
tunately there was low embankment at
the scene of the accident. A telegram
was sent to Charlotte and q train took
surgeons to the wounded. The latter are
as follows: Engineer James Alexander, Car
Greaser John Ross (colored), Baggage Mas
ter T. A. Cobb, Mail Agent Broughton, H. j.
Sleight, express messenger; j. E. Park,
fireman. The latter is literally crushed to
pieces, although he is still alive at the
hospital, and the doctors at Charlotte think
they can save him. Ross, who was scalded
most horribly, died last night at Charlotte.
1t is learned that an official examination
of the track shows that the wreck was
carefully planned. Iron pike screws had
been fixed on the top of the rails on each
side, and with these the spikes had been
pulled up for a distance of several yards,
SO as to allow the track to spread.
Fooled With a Snake.
MEMPHIS. Tenn, Aug. While Jackson
Moore and John Harvey, aged about
seventeen years, were hunting squir-
rels across the river in Arkansas yes
terday they discovered a large rattie-
snake coiled upon a rock apparently
asleep. Moore crept up TO the deadly
RATHER, and by a quick movement
caught it firmly below the head and held
it at arms length in triumph. Suddenly
the snake coiled itself around the boys
arm. He became frightened and attempted
to throw it off, when the reptile struck him
in the neck. Its fangs became fastened
in the flesh. The unfortunate victim
screamed with horror, and grasping the
snake with both hands, tore it loose and
flung it to the ground. He then fell to the
earth in a swoon, while his terrified friend
fed for assistance. The nearest house was
two miles distant and when help arrived
the poor lad was past help and died in
great agony. The snake was found coiled
close by, and when killed measured four
feet nine inches, and had eighteen rattles.

The Significance of IL.


We are sorry TO observe the growing
number Of Democrats of character and in
fluence who either declare that they will
vote the Republican ticket this fall or are
credited 10y common rumor with the inten-
ton Of abandoning the Democratic party
because they do not approve the tariff poll
cy of President Cleveland and Mr. Mills.
We do not refer to the case of mug
wumps like Mr.. William Dudley Foulke
and his Indiana followers. These gentle
men are turning their backs upon Mr.
Cleveland because they are Disguised with
his return to old fashioned Democratic
principles in regard to the apportionment
of the offices. They were never Demo
Gratis. The Democracy can witness their
departure without a pang. 1t is better off
without them
The Democrats we have in mind are men
like Mr. j. II. Wade Of Ohio, Mayor iona
than Scoville Of Buffalo, and Mr.. W V.
Tousley Of Cleveland Scarcely IA dav but
brings news of the determination of some
such Democrat to support Harrison for
President, because the Republican plat
form declares for protection.
The intentions Of some of these gentle
men may be misreprcsented by common
report we hope that is the case. But the
number of those whose expressions are so
positive rs TO leave no room for dodht is
already large enough TO attract attention.
Their detection is feature which cannot
be ignored. And, what is more important,
it indicates drift which, il not checked,
may hecnmo the most important feature of
the campaign
