1t is estimated that by using the
remarkable heavy steel rails-scven-
ty-fve pounds-which the Chesa.
peake & Ohio proposes to use on
their track over the mountain, an in.
crease speed of about fifteen miles an
hour can be gained over the time
made on the ordinary sixty-pound
rail, which is about the heaviest rail
in general use ON other roads. Be-
sides giving increased speed, the
great weight of the rails greatly re-
duces the vibration of the train.

The Cronfn Case.

CHICAGO, May 31.-P. O'Sullivsn, the ice man, Frank Woodruff and ex-Detectiye Coughlin were arraigned this afternoon, charged with the murder of Dr. Cronin. They were brought into court from the jail, and immediately pleading not guilty were taken back again. Very few spectators were pres- ent, and only one of the men, O'Sullivan, had an attorney in court. Lawyers David and Donahue, who are attending to the ice man, happened to be in court trying another case. MT. David entered the stereotyped motion to quRsh the indictment, but no date was set for arguments. Each of the three prisoners was furnished with copy of the indictment against him.
 Dr. Cronin's clothes have been found. The drawers were discovered first by Sol Ham burger and Eddie Bresch, two little boys, of Lakeview, at the mouth of the Fifty-Ninth street sewer, and further search resulted in unearthing the pants, coat, shirt and un- dershirt. They were buried over foot un- derground and were only discovered by probing in the sand with sharp sticks. The shirt bore the name of the unfortunate phy- sician, and the other articles were readily recognized as portions of his apparel. The pants in places were deeply stained with blood. The physicians vest was missing and in it's place was vest of much coarser ma terial, containing in the pockets five pennies and 8 cigar. This garment presumably be- longed to one of the murderers or accom- plices.

Dangerous Use of Strong Purgatiyes

Most pills, purgatives and Bitter Waters, which act quickly upon the bowels, irritate and often de- stroy the mucous coats of the stomach and bowels. Indeed their cathartc action is directly caused by the irritation of the bowels, which they produce Their action should be soothing aud stimulating instead of irritating. A continued use of such remedies produces chronic inflammation of the stomach and bowels. This often ends in dangerous disease: The use of the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly recommended as aperi- ent laxative and diuretc because it's action is due solely to it's solvent and stimulating properties. It soothes and allays inflammation, and Is therefore much preferable to all strong purgatives and Bitter Waters.

 SCRANTON, Penn, May 31.-Public excite ment continues to run high over the chaotic condition of the wrecked Scranton City bank, and the meeting of feeced dep ositors held last evening at the hall of the Scranton Board of Trade was crowded. Chairman Cramer stated that the only statement he could obtain from the board of directors was given to him by Director Troppand. made the following showing: Due bills $162,0OO, over-drafts 7,000, protested paper s15,- 900, papers past due s10.eo0, and cash s15,- 900; total assets s24s, ,00O. The liabilities are: Money due depositors $322, ,000, paid up capital $55, ,000; total $377, ,000. The de- positors are determined to bring the bank directors to time if they attempt to evade their responsibility. Many of the depositors are strongly in favor of arresting the direc- tors for criminal negligence in permitting the cashier to get away with the funds. Much of the misery of the failure falls upon the poor Poles and Hungarians who had their money there.
