CATARRH. Catarrhal Deafness---Hay Fever.

NEW HOME TREATMENT.
 Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they Are due to the presence of living parasites in stachian tubes. Microscopic research, how- eyer, has proved this to be fact, and the result of this discovery is that simple remedy has been formulated whereby ca- tarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks.
 N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an ointment; both have been discarded by rep- utable physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining this new treatment is sent free on receipt of stamp to pay postage, by A. Fl. Dixon & Son, 837 and S39 West King street.

PrrTsBURa, Dec. 23.-Shortly after ten o'clock tonight three men broke into Paul Ruttret's jewelry store at Tarentum, fifteen miles north of here, and were carrying off all the valuable stock when Mrs. Ruttret sur prised them and pluckily erappled with one of the robbers. Another thief drew his revolver and blew the top of her head of. The noise attracted MT. Ruttret, who was up stairs, but before he reached his wife she was dead and the thieves had fled with their booty. Ruttret gave chase, firing as he ran. The thieves returned the fire, but no one was hurt, and they were soon lost in the darkness. Mrs. Ruttret was thirty years old and the mother of three chile dren. The murder has created intense ex- citement in the little town, and half of the pepulace is out searching for the men.

Terrence Casey Badly IDjures Ohlcer
 Cooks Head.
 Officer Cook was badly injured about the face last evening in an attempt to arrest Terrence Casey, drunken rough who was making life unbearable upon Congress ave- nue.
 Casey and his Opal" were very drunk. Officers Loughlin and Doherty tried to ar rest them. They resisted and Officer Cook was called. They turned upon the new conner Init him in the head with a half brick, knocked him down, trampled upon him, kicked him in the face, took his pistol and discharged it several times to the imminent peril of number of people near by, and for the time being turned Congress avenue into roaring wild West show. They were finally subdued and taken to the station in the pa trol wagon.
 Officer Cooks injuries will confne him to his room for several days. One eye is badly bruised, there is an ugly cut over the other one, his left cheek bone displays the com plete imprint of very heavy heel, and his whole head feels sore and big with bruises. Terrence Casey will probably know what il is to have the punishment fit the crime when he is brought into the police court this morning.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
 President Harrison Accomplishes a Vast Amount of Work 1n Three Weeks - Sixteen Hundred Nomina- tions Sent to the Senate.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-In the three weeks ended last Saturday President Harrison sent to the Senate 1, ,42s messages containing the nominations Gncludipg army and navy ap pointments) of about ,so0 persons. When the Senate adjourned Saturday there had been made public the confirmation of about 1000 of these nominations, the great major- ity of them postmasters. The judiciary com- mittee is noted for tho deliberate manner in which it considers matters referred to it. and so it is not surprising that only small pro- portion of the nominations of the judges and officers of the United States courts all over the country have been confirmed. The nominations of O. W. Chapman to be solicitor general, of Alphonso Hart to be solicitor of internal revenue and of W. P. Hepburn, to be solicitor of the treasury, are | still undisposed of. In fact, so far as nomi- nations referred to the judiciary committee | are concerned, con6rmations are the excep> | tion. Of the diplomatic nominations the fol- l lowing have not been confirmed: George Nancy, minister to Paraguay and Uruguay; | J. R. G. Pitkin. minister to the Argentine l Republic; Clark E. Carr, minister to Den- 1 mark. Among the consular nominations that have not been acted upon by the Senate are | those of Eugene Schuyler, as Consul General at Cairo, Egypt, and of William B. Sorsby, of Mississippi, to be Consul General in Ecuador. In the customs service nomina- tions undisposed of are those of Armor l Smith, Jr., to be surveyor at Cincinnati, | and of Philip M. Hildebrand to be surveyor l at Indianapolis. Robert Smalls, the colored | ex-Congressman from South Carolina, nom- l mated to be collector of customs, is also un- | confirmed.
 Other important nominations that went over until after the recess, are those of Messrs. Roosevelt and Thompson, civil ser- vice commissioners; Taylor railroad commis- sioner; Holiday, commissioner of customs; Bates, commissioner of navigation; Morgan, commissioner of Indian affairs; and Dor chester, superintendent of Indian school. | M

The express was running at the rate of forty miles an hour and the timber crashed through the car, raking 1t broadside, breaking every window sash on that side and covering the passengers with glass and spliAters. The cars wero heavily loaded with passengers and . number of ladies tainted from fright, while fifteen or twenty of them were moro or less cut about the face and shoulders. One woman was un- conscious for several hours and is reported to be fatally injured. Upon arrival of tho train at Lawrence the injured passengers were cared for and most of them were able to cons tinue their journey. The accident delayed trains half an hour.
