Night-One Fireman Hurt.
Shortly after 9 o'clock last night a fire
broke out in the bone, or fertilizing works
of Walker, Stratton & Co. on Herr's Islanda
An alarm was turned in from box 157, but
when the department reached the scene the
building, which was large two-storY
frame structure, was in flames. The fire
was hard one to fight, as the odor from the
burning bones prevented the fremen from
entering the building.
Nicholas OFT. member of the Ellsworth
Engine Company, was struck on the head
by brick and severely hurt. He resides
on Troy Hill.
1t is not known how the fire originated,
but the building was destroyed, entailing
loss of about $1,000, covered by insur
ance.

HARRISBURG, March Ex-senator New
myer is quoted here tonight as being of the
opinion that the Constitutional amendment
to divide cities into classes cannot be voted
on for five years after the vote on the pro-
hibitory amendment The Constitutional
provision concerning amendments says:
"But no amendment or amendments shall
be voted on oftener than once in five years."
Some lawyers construe this literally, but
others hold that the intention merely is that
the same subject shall not be voted on
oftener than once in five years. Senator
Ross, of Bucks. the Democratic leader of
the Senate, is said to favor the former in
depreciation.

Sharpsburg Getting Ready to Give Gas a

There is a movement on foot to supply
Sharpsburg with electric light. The mat
ter WAS brought up at several recent Coun-
ell meetings, and has since spread so much
that bids from Ft. Wayne, indianapolis
and other places have been received. Just
when contract will be made, or who will
receive it, is not yet known. But it is al
most certain that before long contract for
a 25-light plant will be let.
The present system of lighting the town
with gas has been objected to by the citi-
been too high. The town is lighted only
two weeks in each month, and then the
lights only burn until midnight.

COLUMBIA, March 23.-The colored peo-
pie of the State are making desperate efforts
to get the Governor to commute the sentence
of Harrison Haywood and William c.
Williams, the two negroes who are to be
hanged in Pickens, April 5, for the lynch
ing of Waldrop, the white man charged
with causing the death of a 13-year-old
negro girl. They have held mass meetings
in the larger towns and have written to
every prominent man in the State asking
their influence. In their circular which
has been published they condemn lynching,
but claim that many of their own color have
been Iynched upon little or no evidence,
and in lynching Waldrop they only fol-
lowed an example set them by the whites.
1t is probable that dozens of petitions will
be sent Governor Richardson with thou
sands of names. The lynching of white
man by these negroes was the first case of
the kind in this State.

FACTS ABOUT VERTIGO.

Any disturbance OF the blood circu-
lation in he internal ear. especially in
that portion known AS the semicircular
canals, will give rise to feeling "A

by no means uncommon, and is 50 often
felt by persons who are otherwise in

generally paid TO It, 1t is true that in
many cases one may be perfectly safe

accompanied with loud ringing in the
ears, the attacks becoming more and
more severe and prolonged as the dis
ease progresses.
In the great majority OF cases. how
ever, the explanation OF the vertigo Is
to be found in some local departure
from the normal condition. the real
source OF the trouble being. perhaps,
nj some distance from the parts affected.
In the ear itself we may have a
foreign body pressing on the drum
membrane, or an increased pressure In
the drum cavity, such as happens when
the passage TO the ears is stopped and
an excess OF fluid accumulates. The
same condition may arise also from an
error OF vision, in which case IL can be
explained only by the intimate nervous
connection between the two organs. AN

other
Most interesting OF all, however. Is
the connection between this symptom
and certain disturbances of the stom-
ach. Vertigo and nausea often go to-
gether, as In the case of persons who
swing violently, or i'm those who are
sea-sick. BY means Of the intimate
nervous connection, any irritation or
disturbance of the functions Of the
stomach will react on the blood supply
OF the ears, and vertigo may thus be an
indication OF indigestion or an over
loaded stomach.
The heart is still another organ con-
nected with this same nervous chain,
and this fact explains how it is that
palpitation is sometimes met with un-
der similar circumstances. This fact
may serve as an additional warning
against the use OF alcohol and certain
drugs which cause dizziness when
taken into the stomach.
In persons OF full habit, with large
excess OF blood, vertigo may prccede
an attack OF apoplexy. In any case,
the wise course is 10 avoid all effort
and remain in reclining position
while the attack lasts. Youths Com
