CONTAGIOUS BLOOD
POISON

is the constitutional blood disease
which has for several centuries past
been infesling mankind with its an
moving features and destructive re-
suits, aud is now the great bane OF
the humane race. This is the worst
OF all blood contagion, as the horri-
bic poison is transmitted from one
generation to the next, and even the
third and fourth. We do not hon
es,ly believe that the terrible scourge
has ever been cured and thoroughly
eradicated from the human body
by any other remedy than Switt's
Specific. and we further say that
Swiit's Specific has been known
to fail to make a permanent cure in
any case when it has been taken be
tore any OF the vital organs had be
come SO impaired as to render a cure
impossible.

A DASTARDLY CRIME.
A Young Girl Assaulted, Murdered
and Robbed.

A brutal and horrible murder was
committed Sept. 9th, at Leconcy's mill
two miles from Merchantsville, n. J.
Annie Leconcy, IS years old, niece
and housekceper of Chalkley Leconey,
the miller, had her throat cut from ear
to ear by brute who first attempted
to assault her, and after the murder
added robbery to his crime. Leconey
and colored farm hand named MUIR
ray ate breakfast early in the morning
and went out to the field to gather
melons for market. The niece remain
ed alone in the farm house waiting for
another colored farm hand named
Frank Lingo to come to breakfast. An
hour later Lizzie O'Donnell, girl re-
siding on neighboring farm, came to
Leconey's house and found 'Annic's
corpse weltering in the blood on the
floor. She ran into the field and sum-
moned Leconey and Murray. Lingo
was arrested while at work on the farm
a mile from the scene of the murder.
He is married man and has family.
He left his home at 5 o'clock in tho
morning to go TO work on the farm,
and claims to have arrived there at
6:l5 and had not left until arrested.
The officers are inclined to think Lingo
is not guilty. The murdered girl was
of pleasant disposition and exemplary
habits.

DETERMINED TO DIE.
Persistent Attempts Of Young Wo.
man to Drown Herself

One Of the most determined attempts
ut suicide over heard OF was made by
Lena iort,og, II years Of age, who
resides with her parents In Williams.
burg, N. Y. She was q passenger on
n ferry boat from Brooklyn to New
York city. When the boat reached
Grand street ferry, Miss lIortzog came
ashore hut immediately returned and
paid her fare and once more took
Il seat in the cabin. The boat had Just
cleared the slip when she walked rap.
idly out OF the cabin and jumped over.
board, The boat was stopped and life
preservors, ladders and ropes were
called into requisition. Tho electric
light made things ms clear ms day. The
first life preservor thrown foil close 10
the girl, but sho pushed IL away with
an angry gesture, The noise and
sound attracted Ticket Fakcr James
Kelly, who has already saved thir.
teen people from drowning, and he
jumped into tho river, seized the
girl by tho waist and lifted hcr
bodily up so she might breathe. The
girl turned upon him and struggled to
FREQ herself from his grasp. Kelly
held on, however, and made for the
slip. A desperate struggle 70. lowed,
the half drowned girl seemed to gain
strength and fought like tigrcss.
When near the slip ropes were thrown
and Kelly caught one and wound II
around the body OF his charge, but 4,
was quickly thrown of. This the girl
repeated three times, then selling her
rescuer by tho arm she savagcly Bit
him. Kelly was becoming exhausted,
and saw II the girls life was TO be
saved violence would have to be used,
80 he was compelled TO beat her into
submission, blows had the desired
effect Tor time, but when an attempt
was made TO lit her upon the ladder
she broke out nfresh, but was finally
landed wet, limp and exhausted. This
water battle lasted fully fifteen minutes.
When stimulants we're offered 10 the
girl later on she threw tho glass from
he: and smashed 1t. Finally tho rcck.
less creature was placed under arrest
and afterwards sent TO the hospital In
an ambulance. Her parents say the
whole adventure arose from love
affairs.

Some days ago Chief OF Police Hub
bard, In Chicago, received n request
from j. II. Brewer. OF Sioux City,
Iowa, for the full names and addresses

wealthy resident OF Chicago. The
father cast his daughter of. The
young husband soon began TO treat his
wife harshly and finally she left him
and returned TO her father, bringing

quently tho child was stolen and all
efforts TO find her were unavailing,
Finally grandfather Adams died, leav-
ing the missing child a legacy OF &i0,-

by her father, who placed nor In the
family OF u Norwegian named Nelson,

DEADLY DYNAMITE.
Three Hundred Lives Lost by an
Explosion in France.

Dynamite exploded, Sept. 9th, in
the cartridge factory in the vicinity of
the Bourse, France, killing 1875 per-
sons and doing much damage to prop
crty. Portions of the Bourse were
struck by the burning fragments and
set on fire, causing panic in that
building, which at the time was crowd
ed. The cartridge factory was situated
behind the docks, upon which millions
OF cartridges were being loaded. 1t
was adjacent 10 petroleum stores, and
two large Russian petroleum ware
houses were set on fire and burned.
Other stores were endangered. The
police and troops assisted in the work
OF extinguishing the flames, while tho
priests and sisters Of charity are look

barrels OF oil burned. Eighty persons
are injured, the majority of them be-

Tho Greatest Lathe in tho World.

Perhaps ono OF the most marked
novelties In the Machinery hall in tho
Paris Exposition IN tho monster lathe
shown by Messrs. Greenwood & Bailey,
Of Leeds. This extraordinary machine
tool weighs nearly 800 tons, and has
been made for Schneider's steel works
ut Le Creusot. is intended orrough
boring and turning steel ingots OF tho
largest dimensions, such rs those used
In the manufacture OF heavy gun tubes
and jackets. IL is the most powerful
lathe in the world. The space it occu-
pies is about seventy-five feet by twenty
feet. An ingot fifty-two feet long and
eight feet in diameter can be turned by
this .'leviathan." 1t has four indepen-
dent saddles, each Of which carries two
tools, eight tools being thus set TO work
IL required at one time. Each tool
takes cut ono and a half inches in
depth, and advances at the rate OF four
or five cuts per inch. A hole forty
inches in diameter may be bored
through an ingot thirty-two feet long.

A California Fish Story,

A party Of four state capitol anglers
went up the river the other day TO
catch some fish. They agreed that
whenever one should land n fish each
Of tho others should pay him quar-
ter. One OF the quartet was especially
unlucky In his piscatorial venture, and
was soon out OF pocket 81. rs and down
10 his last quarter. He wanted TO
break up tho compact but the others
wouldn't let him. just then he stole
one OF the fishes caught by another Of
the party. slipped It upon his hook and
into the water He soon landed it with
q great deal OF splutter and noise, and
received six bits. When the others
were not looking he replaced 1t on his
hook and again went through the act
of landing fish. He managed to work
tho dodge until he had not only got
back his $i.25, but broke the rest OF
.he crowd. Sacramento Record.
