THE LINE TO NEW YORK.
vice-P resident Spencer Makes Some
portnnt Statements.


portant Statements.
President Spencer, Of the Baltimore
d Ohio Railroad Company, speaking
about the reported purchase of the
Gloucester Ferry Company, yesterday
said: There is no truth in and no
foundation for the statement that the
Baltimore S Ohio Railroad Company
is directly or Indirectly interested in the
proposed purchase OF the Gloucester
Ferry, with the view of establishing a
line between Philadelphia and New York,
or for any other purpose. The Baltl-
more ~ Ohio's access to New York is
fully and amply provided for by the
contract with the Reading * New Jcr-
Scy Central Companies and il has no
reason for seeking any other line
The statement is not true that the
Baltimore 81 Ohio's business, either en-
press or any other, is affected by the fact
that the Adams Express Company has the
right over both the Pennsylvania and
Reading lines between Philadclphia and
New York The Baltimore ~ Ohio En-
press is going over the Reading and New
Jersey Central between New York and
Philadelphia unintcrruptcdly every day
and has been ever since the opening OF
the Philadelphia branch.
This company has no interest in the
local express business between the cities
of New York and Philadelphia proper,
and it is only this local business which
is in question between the United States
and the Adams Express COMPANIES, and
the Baltimordfd Ohio Company is not in
any way. concerned in it or its results"

A gentleman named Lord some days

That night Mr.. Lord experienced u sensa-
tion of itching in his car. This grew in
intensity and pain until it was unbear-
able. lc went to Athens for relief, but
remedies applied failed to afford it. Co
ing to Woodvillc lie stated his case TO a
doctor. The acute pain had by this time
nearly thrown the gentleman into con-

anacsthctic TO his ear, inserted IL coplous
douche. which brought out no less than
eleven wcll-tlc yeloped maggots, wrisgling

State School Fund Apportlonment.

SALEM, July 27.-The school fund ap-
portiOnment for the various counties of
the state Just made by State Treasurer
Webb is $1.25 for everyperson of school
age in the state, % cents per capita
larger than any distribution ever here
tofore made. In 1886 the total census of
school children in the state was S2,S54,
and the amount of school fund per
capita disbursed was 80 cents. In 1887
the census had swelled to S7,2l7, and the
sum apportioned was 81 each. Now, in
1S8, the census is 1854. The reduction
is due to the new law. which requires
school clerks to certify on oath to the
number of scholars in their district.
Appended are the amounts apportioned
to the various counties-the number of
persons of school Rge in each county
being obtainable by dividing the sum
opposite each by one and one-uuarter.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
hicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
BILE through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can we'll appreciate

gust Flower. Its cures are mar
