ROASTED ALIVE.
Fearful Explosion of Natural
Gas.
A Mother and Her Three Sons
Roasted Alive.
In Search of a ~Bigamist-A
Girls 10000 Mile Journey.
Four Persons Burned.

BRADFORD, Pa, Oct. l1.-At Davis
Switch,a small village thirteen miles from
this place. the dwelling of Patrick Daily
was burned and his wife and three sons.
aged l3, IL and 9 respectively, roasted in
the flames last night. While the family was
at supper the father stepped to the cook
stove to turn off part of the natural gas
and unintentionally shut the throttle
tight. On reversing it again the house
was filed with gas. An explosion fol.
lowed and in an instant the entire house
was il flames. The three boys and their
mother fell PROSTATE onto the floor.
Overcome by heat and the flames Daily
rushed out of the house to call assistance,
but all efforts to save the unfortunate in
mates were futile. Daily was severely
but not fatally burned and is almost
crazed with grief.

You ask me about the future of cleo
tricity. 1t is the coming motive power.
1t will be used IN all railroads some day,
but the point is to get an economical en-
CINE. My theory is to have immense
dynamos located all along the line of the
road and have the electricity conveyed
from these stationary engines to the loco
motives by wires through the rails. For
example, l would put I'VE big engines
between New York and Philadelphia,
and enough power could be furnished to
whisk the limited at the rate of 100 miles

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE great trot-
ting match to day at Fleetwood park be-
tween Harry Wilkes and Belle Hamlin
brought the largest crowd ever seer on
the track in years. The track was last.
First heat-Harrv Wilkes o took
the lead but at the quarter was only a
neck ahead. Going into the back stretch,
the mare,shot out like an arrow and at
the half was barely two lengths ahead.
Round the stretch they were nearly nose
and nose. The whip was on Harry
Wilkes frequently but to no purpose.
The mare won easily. time 2:l6a.
Second hedt-At the eighth the mare
was three-quarterS OF a ltugthin the lead.
After an easy start and going easy at the
quarter, there was no change, but be-
tween the three and a half Harry Wilkes
lessened the space between. Coming up
the hull it was neck and neck, but in the
stretch Andrew let she mare out and she
won the heat and the rae, in a Jog.
Harry Wilkes was under the whip till the
finish, but he was nc match to-day for
Belle. Time, 2:l9i.

Unjust Taxation.

1t is unjust to tax the stomach with
burthens that it cannot bear. Many silly
people thus %tyrannize thst faithful servi-
tor until it rebels and Furnishes them as
they deserve. Dyspepsia is usually the
child of g~astronomic folly, but whether
this or the natural associate of inherent
feebleness from childhood, it is surely and
pleasantly repediable with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the finest and most
highly gastric tonic in existence. As a
result of the tone impaired to the stom-
ach, and the increased activity of its di-
gestive and assimilative action. insured by
the persistent use of this benign invigor-
ant, general stamina is augmented, the
nerves STRENGTHENED and t%ranquilized, and
a tendency to insomnia and hypochron-
drias is defeated. Billiousness, chills and
fever, rheumatism and kidney troubles
are conquered by this admirable medicine.

The Stranded Steamer.

SANDY Hook, Oct. Il.-Tugs have
ceased pulling on the steamer City of
New York, which is still stuck in the
mud. She is being lightcred and another
attempt was made to pull her off at high
tide to. night. In the opinion of expert
engineers the strain upon the vessel by
the fearful hauling about she has received
has caused her severe injuries which will
take much time and considerable money
TO repair.

And then 80 A he ran.
Wherein the host, as have said,
Had laid two travellers by;
Then taking one, the tenth and Last
He lodged him safe in !.
Nine rooms, room for each,
Were made to serve for ten.
And this it is that puzzles me,
And many wiser men.
