There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catar1h
to be unconstitutional disease, and there
tore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

DEATH IN A TORNADO.
F.ghtful Loss of Life in Eastern

life never before equalled in the ety's history
Not less than sixty persons have been killed
outright, and 100 injured The track of the

Alongside the tracks of the railroad was

crawl out OF the debris. but the rest of their
companions il is feared were enveloped in the
embrace of the flames Directly in the path
of the tornado stood the Reading silk mill
Here about 175 girls were working
The building was a large structure,
in height, and block square. The
walls gave way, the floors fell down,
one on top of the other, and carried their
great mass of human beings to the bottom
The bricks were piled up in the greatest con
fusion, while amid the hurricane andwhistling
rushing, roaring wind terrible cries for suecor
were sent up to heaven. Probably 10 or 100

At some places the bricks were piled twenty
feet deep and underneath are still lying
human bodies by the score. The most trust
worthy estimates place the number of lives
lost at seventy-five.
At Sunbury, Pa, two of the stacks of the
Sunbury Nail Mill were blown over, crushing
through the roof Of the mill, in which thirty
five men were at work. Two men we're killed

The Fruit Spelling for Want of a

apple market is in bad way. The weather
is anything but conducive to the keeping of

are beginning to fell shaky. The Eastern and
foreign markets do not create demand, for
they are already overstoeked.
Newfork is reported as holding between
10000 and 10000 barrels Philadelphia
nearly 10000, and Boston and Providence
are far in advance OF either of the Others To
show the condition of the foreign market all
one has to say is that the exports this season
up to the middle of December were more than
double those Of the season of 1SS7-S The
stock on hand at Liverpool and Glasgow
will nearly equal 100000 barrels This is
being disposed of at ruinously low prices
The reports come from the West that there
is no market there us it is heavily stocked
What the commission men and growers are
going to do with the stock on hand is the
question. 1t is estimated that nearly 500.-
600 barrels are held in New York State, half
of which is now dead loss. The weather
has been damp and muggy all the winter,

we're only feet long, and they we're accepted

ing. Allan has since absconded, leaving
forged paper which has been discov-
cred to the extent of $4,000. When
80 tons were received by the city and
60 were laid the discovery was made by the
customs authorities that bold attempt had
been made to defraud the revenue by the con.
tractor. and the remaining pipes were seized
The method of the defalcation was very
simple The pipes were imported from Lon
donderry. Ireland, and transierredin bond by
the Grand Trunk Railway. The customs
authorities allowed permission to have them
carried to the warehouse, but the contractor
delivered them directly to the city and paid
no duty
