Mr.. YOHE'S EVIDENCE.
Another Notable Test Case is Added
To-Day.
SURPRISED AT THE RESULT.

''I presume that my trouble dated back
over two years, but lately it has been more
severe than usual.
The speaker was Mr.. Clemens Yohe, who
resides at 319 Riverton avenue, McKeesport,
Pa, one of the largest manufacturing towns
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
"There was a long time that 1 did not
realize that my trouble was anything more
than severe cold, or succession Of colds in
my head principally. My nose would stop up
first on one side and then on the other. There
was a constant ringing in my ears, and had
a dull pain across my forehead. My eyes
were weak, and, at times, were very much
inhamed.
81 could feel the mucus dropping back
into my throat, and in the morning 1 would
have to cough and raise to clear my throat of
the phlegm that had accumulated there. 1
would frequently have dizzy spells, especial
ly when WOULD stoop over or rise up sud-
denly.
"GraduallY J my trouble began to grow
worse Ny throat became sore and in
famed. Iwould have sharp pains over my.
heart that extended around to the shoulder
blades. Ny rest did not refresh me. would
get up in the morning more tired than when
went to bed. Ny nights were the worst.
I would lay awake coughing, and often
would have to sit up in bed. Finally my
throat got in such a condition that even
drinking water caused me to suffer pain.
81 began TO lose my appetite. Nothing
tasted good What did eat did not seem to
agree with me. My hearing became affected.
I lost in flesh rapidly. The pain in my
head became severe, and was never with
ont headache.

Mr.. BARNES, STORY.

Statement From Well-Known Gentleman oi

The statement given below is from one Of
the patients residing out of the city who
was treated from the office of Drs Copeland

William Barnes, of Hickman, Pa, thriv-
ing town on the Pittsburg, Charters and
Youghiogheny Railroad, about 10 miles out
from Pittsburg.
During recent conversation with the
writer, he said: "Five years ago my trouble

Some time ago Mr.. Harry Phillips, OF
Hutton, Allegheny county, Pa, COM

At that time his trouble had assumed a
very aggravated form, He stated to the

There was dropping of mucus from my head

ertion tired me and 1 was unfit for work."
"How do you feel now ?'
Like another being. All the symptoms
have described to you have disappeared, and 1
feel as well as ever was in my life."
Last May Miss LOttie ]. FOrker, of 299 Arch

STOPPED BY TRE JUDGE.
Squire Powers Not Allowed to Say anIAc.

Squire Powers Not Allowed to Say anIAc.
kuowIedgment Was n Mistake.
The ejectment suit of John L. Meyer and
wife against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is on trial before Judge White.
The suit is to recover possession of four
acres of land in North Versailles township,
taken by the railroad company. The com
pany claims the right to the land by virtue
of deed given to them by John NJ. Larimee
as attorney in fact for Mower and wife, the
owners of the land. The plaintiffs assert
that the deed is void from the fact that they
never gave Larimee the power OF attorney
or them, and he had no right to make the
deed. The power of attorney, however,
signed with the names of Mover and his
wife, was on record. Mover and his wife
assert that the signatures to the document
were forgeries. The power of attorney had
been acknowledged before Squire j. S.
Powers, of Turtle Creek, and he was called
as witness by the Meyers to prove that
they had not signed it.
Esquire Powers testified that the acknowl-
edgement OF the document was mistake.
He was stopped by Judge White, who said
that it could not have been q mistake. 1t
was either palpable fraud or collusion. He
refused to allow the Squire to testify further
as to the invalidity of the power of attorney.
The plaintiffs could introduce other testi-
mony as to fraud, but not that Of Squire
Powers, before whom the acknowledgement
was made. To allow Squire or other per-
son before whom a paper is acknowledged to
refute it by saving that such acknowledge
ment was a mistake, would be to destroy the
safety of every legal document
The case continued, Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer
positively denying that they had signed. the
paper. They also said that they had been
followed persistently by the Pennsylvania
Railroads agents for several months before
the dare of the alleged power of attorney,
who had tried to induce them to deed the
property to therailrOad company. The case
is still on trial.

'sBut, Madge," said Whelan gently. ''if
it is true that we between us spoiled your
life, can we do more to atone than offer you
this choice now? If we only thought Of
ourselves then we want-at least want
only to do what is best for you now.
Choose
"I will not. It is cruel to ask it. How can
I sentence either of you to death? You are
the noblest man ever knew, but the most
blind and cruel. Tom is my husband, we
have children, we have lived together all
these wears, and-and 1 have grown to love
him. But yet-Oh, Christ Christ God for
give you your generositvl But for that I
should have loved a much better man."
Chris drew back. "Come, Davis" he
said, 'I've got my answer.
They struggled toward the bowlder to-
gether, and without much difficulty climbed
to the top of it.
Whelan turned to Davis. 'You will 20
first, 1 suppose, and help Madge from the
top?'
But Davis had some vague suspicion in
his mind; if he left those two together he
might never see Madge again.
"No, my wife first" he said.
you'll let me? 1 am the stronger. you
know"
Davis nodded.
Thanks. Now. Madge"
He took her in his arms to raise her, then
paused.
''Goodby," he said, "goodby, Madge. 1
think you have been little hard on me-
made great mistake, but meant we'll.
can do no more than say I'm sorry, can I?
Don't you think you might be little sorry,
too?"
They could see each other plainly now in
the bright light that streamed straight down
A
rose in Madge's eyes. He looked at her
eagerly. What was in her mind? What
was raising to her lips? Something that
would make life possible even now, or at
least make death sweet?
''Madge," he whispered, "Madge, what
is it?"
"HallO, IhaIlOI Is anyone alive down
there?"
1t was Wyatt's voice, and Wyatt's good
natured, ugly face peered through the open
ing.
"All therel All, that's good! Derrick and
got out all right, so we rushed off and got
a ladder; and now, if You'll just move out
of the way, I'll let it down, and you can all
come out of that ugly hole as soon as you
like"
So in about three minutes the tragedy was
over, and Whelan will never know to his
dying day what it was that Mrs. Davis was
going to say to him.
Some three months later the paper gave a
detailed account of the marriage of Lady
Lily Levison and Chris Whelan, but the
papers said nothing about one little incident
that took place. After the ceremony, when
Chris had gone through all the manifold
promises that bridegroom makes by order
of the prayerbook, he turned to the sweet
little woman who had loved him SO long and
so faithfully and made another on his own
account.
Lilly, darling, 1 promise you that will
never be generous again as long as live"

THAT ENGINE HOUSE.

Chief Brown 10 Ask select Councils TO Re-
consider Its Action.
The engine house site is the main topic of
conversation throughout the Thirty-frst
ward. Every real estate agent is watching
a chance to get dig at his rival, and be-
tween them things are interesting. Coun-
Gilman Nisbet, who has fought for the
engine house from the first, says he does not
care where it is placed so that the people
are satisfied that it is the best location from
all standpoints.
He says that he has been grossly mis-
represented in some Of the papers. One said
that he would endeavor to have Councils ap-
prove the $27, 900 purchase, despite Chief
Browns assertion that it is too high in
price; and that every citizen wants 1T near
his house. He said that he was interested
in having the best site for the purpose, and
that he knew nothing of the choice of Chief
Brown until the latter told him that be had
bought the Glass property. He still thinks
that it is q good location, and, though the
price may be little high, as good a one
does not seem to be obtainable for the same
money or less Mr.. Nesbit said he had
nothing to do with the deal, and showed
letter from Chief Brown stating as much.
On the other hand some OF the citizens
claim that the S27, 900 purchase is too high,
and that other sites could be bought for less,
All will be pleased when the matter is at
settled and the jangle over.
The following is copy of the letter
Chief Brown will send to Select Council
Monday on the subject:
On December 80, 1859. presented a petition
to your honorable body asking for the ap-
proval of the purchase of lot of ground
on Allen avenue. Thirty-irst ward, for the
purpose of erecting an engine house there
on. At that time ! took into con-
sideration the ordinance, the streets that
were paved, the amount of money appropriated
for the purchase of the lot, the density of the
population of the ward and the surrounding
neighbOrhOOd the location and the price
thereof. 1 believe now as did then that this
lot meets all these conditions with the excep-
tiOn of the price asked for said lot. And, in
reference to this, am Informed that the price
asked is too high and is more than what simi-
lar lots in the neighborhood are selling for on
the market. have learned that the depart
ment canspurchase lot on the same street
though not quite as well adapted for the pur-
pose of the department, for 81, 900 less money.
would therefore ask your honorable body to
reconsider the former resolution, so that the
matter of the purchase of this lot can be open
for further and future negotiations, subject to
your approval as provided for in the ordinance.
