The usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing
patients can testify. trustworthy medical
writer says: Proper local treatment is posi-
lively necessary to success, but most of the

pec.ed from snufs, powde:s douches and

SAN FRANCISCO, December 30sh,-A C5ron-
icle Spokane Falls apecial says the North.
ern Pacific Express Company, of this city,
was robbed of 81, 800 last night in a most
mysterious manner.
The officials of the company deny that
any robbery has occurred, but the fact that
the police are searching for the offender.
and that the express officials have reported
every detail of the robbery to the police, is a
sufficient contradiction OF their statement.
The express officials have no clue as to
who committed the crime, but suspect sew.
eral of their employees.
The money was in sealed package, and
was to be sent East on last nights train.
The package was with many other similar
parcels, and the aggregate amount contained
in them was more than $4,000.
The money was put in the safe OF the
wagon.
A messenger always accompanies the
driver, and takes care that nothing is
stolen. Just as the wagon was about to
leave for the depot the messenger stepped
back into the Office.
This is when the robbery is supposed
to have been committed. Neither the
driver or messenger noticed anything un-
usual, and the vehicle was driven rapidly
to the depot. No stop was made on the
way. The other money packages were
taken from receptacle in the wagon, and
the loss is not known.

named George Jeems, for whom Moses had
warrant. Moses arrested the boy on
reaching Savannah, and carried him 70 the
barracks, accompanied by an officer.
Jeems denied that he had anything TO do
with the killing of Fields, but he said that
he saw another negro. George Hughes,

close TO the back of his head. There was
bad blood between Hughes and Fields,

feet in hight aud pretty nearly that in

Electrician Beranc Nearly Loses His
Life Through Crossed Wires.
Peter L. Beranc, an electrician in the
employ of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company. was knocked down and rendered
unconscious for a time yesterday morning,
and Assistant Chief Mouro, of the fire de-
partment, who was leaning over him, re-
ceived an electric shock which set all his
lfeved TO have saved Beranc's life, as the
full force of the shock was not received by
him.
The accident occurred at Abercorn and
Broughton streets Fire alarm box No. IA
was out OF order, the electric light wires
having come in contact with the fire alarm
telegraph wires at Congress lane and Dray-
ton street. Beranc took out his screw
driver and was in the act Of doing some
work to regulate the box when the over
charged wires gave him the shock.
The electric wires gave the fire depart
ment a great deal of trouble yesterday
morning. There being no dead wires be-
tween the electric and fire alarm wires, the
wind swayed them in contact in many
places, the "big duke" ringing 2O4 times
during the night. Chief Engineer Puder
and Assistant Mouro did not retire during
the night, but on foot and in their buggy
went over the entire lines, In the teeth OF
two violent rain, wind and electrical storms,
looking after the wires and boxes Of the
fire alarm system. Box IA was vivid with
electricity, and the woodwork Of the box
was badly scorched, but the box was not
burned out.
The telephone wires we're as much out Of
order as the fire alarm wires, and the COM
mercial lights Of the Brush Electric Com
pany went out IN every direction. The fire
alarm boxes were all tested Yesterday and
were found TO be in good working order.
